Yes, those people coming up here from Massachusetts even talk funny. Ay-uh.
Well whoop-tee-do. It's too bad that Jim Robinson can't take on your issue. He's a little too tied up in legal issues (for providing this website) and health problems. Get a life, Jim Robinson is not God and he can't have a statement on everything. Put yourself in his place for a moment. Illegal immigration is a big problem but Jim Robinson is only a man, running a website that you can come to if you want, and he has other things to worry about. Tact has never been one of his virtues, but courage always has, so go cry somewhere else.
Last time I checked, it was still a state right. Unless of course everyone wants a Federal ID with a chip in it.
AYUH, They sure do!
Jim robinson personally may not be concerned, to those of us that are, this human wave from the south is indeed a problem. In fact, it may well be more than a problem, it may indeed be a danger to our way of life.
We are importing people that have no intent or desire of joining mainstream America and down the road someone will have to reckon with it.
If a cop pulls over someone with no license, or an expired license, its a sure bet that it's an illegal alien.
You can always tell who's in the country illegally now, they're the ones that are doing 5 miles an hour under the speed limit in the left lane on I95.
If your State doesn't have a similiar law, petition your state represenatative to introduce legislation, and make it an election issue.
Thank you Jim, for this wonderfull forum, and may I advise those who are not interested in certain issues, do as most of us do.Ignore and/or don't respond to the subjects in which you have no interest or time to research.(advise once given to me by you ,JR, that I have done my best to follow, not always perfectly);^)
Stop joining others here that carry water for Robinson. He is a big boy and can carry his own. Har T Har Har....
AYUH, They sure do!
I used to go to the beach in SC every year. I'm from Upstate New york.
I was told it was hard to understand what I was saying. It sounded to them like I had "a mouthful of marbles."
I was asking the lady at the ice cream cart if she had any cream cicles. She never did understand what I was saying. I said it about 4 times! (I do talk fast, though). so I just pointed at the fudge cicles and moved on.
I'll always remember that with "Good Humor."
This is what makes us great Jim. You've for the most part only exercised your will around here as a last resort.
I've really thought a lot about some of the things you were saying last night, as you're one of the few people around here who's opinion I give a rat's ass about.
I'M TRYING, I'M TRYING, EVERY CHANCE THAT I GET!
They are even in NH and gaining ground! It's killing me! I just believe that if a person is illegally in this country, every State, County, and Town should work to report them and get them sent out of our country.
Illegal is illegal period.
Since I have never had your ear before, may I just say thank you and all those who worked with you did get this site going!
Border governors flex influence, muscle
We have Liberals running the State Governments it seems.
Jim is right , he is working at a higher level ~!
Immigration is pretty far down on my list of important issues. Fighting terrorism, abortion, taxes, reigning in judicial activism, wresting control of education away from the teachers' unions, protecting gun rights, combating the spread of communism and anarchism worldwide, and advancing federalism are all issues that are more important to me than immigration. So is breaking the grip that the left has on blacks and other minorites at the polls.
But when I do see it discussed on here, the people who side on controlling immigration more, which is what my opinion is, tend to anger me in their tactics and the way they go about arguing the position that I have realized that as long as they are the ones pushing for immigration reform, we aren't going to make any headway. There is entirely too much demagoguery from the anti-imigration side, and too much acceptance of those who clearly hold racist views. That pisses me off, since it pretty much takes the issue away from us. Why would I fight for something when I am ashamed of those who I would have to fight with? (BIG DISCLAIMER: I am not saying you are a racist or that YOU tolerate racists. What I am saying is that when a racist shows up on those threads, the anti-immigration side never seems to put that person in his place)
There is no place in the world quite like this web site. We have our opinions and people can agree or disagree but I don't appreciate you or anyone else criticizing the person who made this place possible.
FWIW
While I'm at it, the one single event that did the most to destroy the constitutionally limited government established by our founders (IMHO) was the 17th amendment. This effectively denied the right of the states to their equal representation to the federal government. This made the federal takeover possible. That, combined with the 16th, which gave the feds the tools to fund this monstrosity. Repeal these two amendments, give the states back their representatives, eliminate the income tax, and you defund and defang the beast.
Joe, people in government don't like to talk about this, and so they don't. But the alternative to what's happening is rather massive social unrest, possibly with euthanasia and assisted suicide, starting in about 20 years. There's no way to support all the old people, Joe. You've seen the Social Security math. There aren't enough people reaching adulthood to pay all the Social Security taxes we're going to need. Those Mexicans are the people who are going to pay those taxes, Joe. They are going to feed the old people. We can't afford to feed the old folks otherwise, Joe. We'll have to kill them. Nicely, perhaps. In a kind way. But for the children. We can't have one retiree for every worker. That's too big a strain on families that are trying to raise children. Do we starve the children? Or starve the old? Or let in lots of immigrants to raise the worker-to-retiree ratio? Nobody wants to talk about that. But in the absence of talking about it, the decision has been made. And you know what? Given the choices, it could be worse. Unlike Western Europe, which faces the same problem, our immigrants don't want to kill us in the name of Allah. Most of them just want to come here and work the same as, well, our own immigrant grandparents did. If we were still having big families, you would have a point. But white America is not even reproducing at the replacement rate. The country as a whole is barely meeting that yardstick, and that's with the immigrants thrown in. A culture that will not reproduce itself will be overrun. Get over it. You can't stop Nature; you either "be fruitful and multiply," or those who do inherit your Earth. Don't blame the gubment for that. That one comes from On High. |
