The one in Denver will be at Sloan's Lake.

How insane. People break into your house, and demand to live there. What would Liberals do if you broke into their house and demanded to live there? Would they welcome you, call the cops, or use force to get you out?

[ArmyTeach]

I'm afraid that the situation is irremediably out of control, thanks to a Congress that ignored the situation for decades and now wants to play partisan politics with what should be a matter of law.

[rfreedom4u]

No one has ever burned an American flag in my presence. I would not stand by and watch.

[daybreakcoming]

Good idea. Maybe someone should build a website that allows visitors to virtually "burn" one.....you know, like the ones you can light a candle in memory?

[Spiff]

Why don't you say how many were actually deported?

I just did another Google on Operation Wetback and my original number is repeated almost everywhere. Most sources state a million or just over a million. According to one source (PBS) the operation deported "an estimated 3.8 million [illegal] immigrants, primarily Mexicans."

[SeaBiscuit]

I agree with the latter part of your statement, though not the former. There is always a remedy, if the GOP has the will.. most doubtful though.

I saw this coming weeks ago and made a comment on when will these invaders start being shot when they cross the border. I was pounced on by a bunch of do gooders accusing me of inciting violence and giving the other side ammunition to use against us. Well, to hell with that. Wake up people. Guess what? We've already lost. Nobody wants to do anything but complain. I for one have started reporting landscapers and contractors in my area when I see them with a truck load of Mexicans. It may not make any difference but it makes me feel better.

"They are getting $20+/hr but are being paid in cash/no deductions."

Which makes them a lot cheaper to employ.

[Spiff]

200,000

Source?

That conflicts with every other source I've found. Cherry picking?

[Shuttle Shucker]

The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers
inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists'
abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees.
Here's an interesting new thread on new legal reform progress that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the
neighborly thing to do?

Lou Dobbs showed the burning of the Mexican flag. He also pointed out that more American flags were flying but some were up side down. He showed signs held by Mexicans that said "We were here first". Lou Dobbs was not fooled by any of this.

[texastoo]

Tonight on Lou Dobbs, the Mexicans were blaming NAFTA for the reason of this huge illegal immigration problem. They are claiming they are entitled to amnesty due to the bad effects of NAFTA in Mexico.

[Robertsll]

I was just watching "Hardball with Chris Matthews" and Congress Tom Tancredo was being slandered by the other guest (an amnesty supporter). Tancredo was being called a racist and worse.

[YankeeReb]

Now John McLame , Teddy the Swimmer et al keep telling us that we can't "deport 11 million people". Wouldn't it be great if say 22 million people (all native born citizens) stopped paying income taxes for a year, since we can't enforce immigration laws why would tax laws be any different? < /rhetorical? >

Of course we all know the answer. It comes down to which laws our congress really wants to enforce and which laws are on the books and given lip service to placate the majority.

[Ben Ficklin]

A source would be required for someone without common sense.

Using you numbers, the total illegal population in the US would have been huge .

[Robertsll]

They are claiming they are entitled to amnesty due to the bad effects of NAFTA in Mexico.

We were sold NAFTA by the free traitors as a way to stop illegal immigration. Virtually nobody but the free traitors and their allies benefited from NAFTA.

It does not justify a policy of open borders and amnesty. But again, the policy of open borders and amnesty is tolerated by free traitors.
