Save and paste this post every time they start the one issue cr**. You have defined the problem well.

I don't get this "one issue" debate. ILLEGAL immigration is all encompassing. It hits our hospitals, our traffic, our prisons, our welfare state, our schools, our culture, our taxes, our stolen identities and on and on and on. Not to mention that it's against the law! How this could ever be labeled as "one issue" is just beyond me. It affects all of our lives in numerous and varied ways and none of them are good.

Bingo. Well stated. Unfortunately, some folks here are clueless.

[Reagan Man]

First class analysis of a seriously widespread problem in America. Of course, the FR ne'er-do-wells would disagree with you.

Thanks for a good post.

[Cyber Liberty]

Possibly. If so, it will show in the primaries and action will occur. 'Til then, I don't see it.

[Cyber Liberty]

Sure. Voted that way with Pat Buchanan once, before he went psycho. Nothing wrong with supporting Tancredo now. I'm looking at him too, just not jumping anywhere.

President Pukin?

Sorry Pukin.,, lol,

I predict that during your campaign, the bad guys might possibly have some 'nanny issues' to spring on you concerning employment of undocumented workers at your properties /fire retardant sprayed on fur>

I don't live in San Jose...but I do know the way.

I do live in a town in Texas where we white trash folks are the minority.

I do agree that it's a problem, has been for years and needs to be addressed.

I just don't understand the sudden panic and frantic search for someone to blame or vote for or .....

[Cobra64]

So you condone people who break the law?

Oh goody! Now I can go to DC and slash tires of as many Libs as I want. Right? Maybe give free flying lessons to terrorists who are here illegally.

Hey, my son has a passel of land down in that area too.

(not big enough to be called a ranch in Texas)

He keeps a gun for mountain lion but it's way too deserted for Mexicans to be a problem.

My campaign will be based on a pledge to bring more a more lighthearted spirit to the White House, fueled on a copious but responsible increase in the available booze.

Darned good post, battletank. What, they couldn't distract you and get you to look at the shiny thing? You know, the WOT? Funny, ILLEGAL immigration even has connections to THAT big ol' one issue. (Oh, but no terrorist would come through an open border, now would he? HAH)

[Scribbz]

Hold your horses Cobra!

I do not condone people who break the law.

Did I miss something here?

[Jarhead1957]

Your right, it is not a ranch, I have a place, It's less than 10,000 acres. Loaded with cougars and a few black bear.

Illegal immigration has not been in the top five of issues influencing elections in my lifetime. I suspect it won't be this year, either, though it may be a priority for you and a few others.

Illegal immigration is SO unimportant you feel the burning need to jump on every such thread poo-pooing anyone with an opinion different than your's.

[RunningWolf]

Well you just might pull off as many votes in a independent run as Ross Perot did LOL

[demkicker]

As a fellow Texan, I'm surprised that you are poo-pooing the immigration issue. I want our President and Congress to do their duty and secure our borders, period. This is one of the hugest threats to our country and we cannot continue to allow millions of people to ignore existing laws and enter our country from a safety standpoint alone. Nevermind that illegals are bankrupting our healthcare and educational systems and using up all of our social services designed to help our citizens. It sickens me that politicians won't drop everything and immediately do everything possible to secure our borders now. Details allowing work visas can be worked out later.

And yes, that's one of the highest things on my wish list, right along with getting our elected officials to listen to their constituents so that we'll want to go to the polls and make sure the dems don't win the majority in the next election. I'm also wanting the GOP to make the tax cuts permanent, revamp the tax code, win the war on terror (and that includes terrorists democrats and the MSM), reform social security and allow oil companies to drill off shore and in ANWR, etc.

It would be nice if many would grow a spine and quit acting like oil companies are the bad guys. Someone in Washington needs to bone up and point out that Exxon-Mobile only makes 9 cents a gallon profit, while taking all the risks, while the blood sucking government makes over 18 cents a gallon in Federal Taxes, not counting State taxes!

I swear, I've worked myself up into a huge mad and need to go have a drink and calm down, but I hope you'll understand where I'm coming from and will never again imply that those of us who are alarmed about illegal immigration and list it as our number one issue are temporarily insane. Afterall, Congress seems to always be the problem and ever since they've brought up immigration reform (and done nothing about it but posture), tens of thousands MORE illegals are crossing our borders in droves.

[Badray]

Look who is relying on CBS for their news.

Aren't the White House talking points working for you anymore?

Aren't different opinions welcome on these immigration threads? Or are they just butt-pattin' sessions between the good ole boys?

I've been p*ssed about the problem for years, but speaking for others perhaps there was a collective epiphany when Americans turned on their tvs a few weeks back to see tens of thousands of latinos, a good number of them illegal, in the streets having a purple-rage fit & waving foreign flags.
