You Can't Stay on the Fence About Immigration

YOU CAN'T STAY ON THE FENCE ABOUT IMMIGRATION The bitter battle over the immigration bill has become a legislative minefield in this election year, though it's still unclear whether November will see any heavy political fallout as a result. To put it mildly, this issue is a thorny wilderness, festering intra-party divisions and brewing voter backlashes. It could inflict additional wounds on George W. Bush's battle-scarred presidency, shrink the GOP's congressional Republican majority and, possibly, hurt some vulnerable Democrats. Let's slice up some of these pitfalls. Stand Up For America !

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Important and Forgotten Words:

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
~Theodore Roosevelt 1907

Illegal immigration opponents rally in Vegas, plot strategy

ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Hundreds of illegal immigration opponents rallied in Las Vegas and pledged to fight a Senate plan that legalizes undocumented Mexicans in the U.S.

The two-day Unite to Fight Summit II, which ended Sunday, drew about 350 activists from across the nation.

"This is aimed at getting everyone on the same page," said organizer Mark Edwards, a local radio show host and founder of the Wake Up America Foundation. "You have to try new tactics and see what works."

We have rules about wearing the American flag. That woman should remove anything resembling the flag!

Hey, disruptors are just those who want others to feel as badly as they do. It's nothing against YOU: It's aimed at you because they're miserable, and too chicken**** to aim it at themselves where it belongs.

BTTT for the "Genuine" Patriot's

she's not real

[JustPiper]

My guess is that your guess is wrong

Don't remember asking for your opinion, it doesn't matter a twit to me, have a nice life

[siznartuf]

As always, your posts are heartening. It had often seemed we were but voices crying in the wilderness -- but now "We The People" are finely being heard!

The classic slippery slope argument in defense of all or nothing extremism. Let's raise the penalty for not wearing a seat belt to life imprisonment.
