Are you Concerned about Illegal Immigration?
Freedom Friend | 08/09/02 | Freedom Friend

Are you concerned about our nation's porous borders? It's a fair question, and I think that it is one that nearly everyone can answer. Please provide your opinion and why you feel one way or the other?

My concern is simple. The immigration in question is not legal, and no state should permit breaches of the law.

You don't seem to understand, there are more than just Mexicans coming across, they are also bringing Arabs who wish to do harm to us. Get a grip. They have been in South America and that is an easy access to the US. They pay the Mexicans top dollar to get into this country. How many more immigrants can this country stand? They take up a lot of our natural resouces plus our TAX dollars. Do you want to take care of all of them? Good, we will send them to your door.

The stuff you're espousing sounds exactly like the anti-American, anti-European crap that comes out of today's school textbooks. No wonder Western Civilization is falling.

Am I concerned? Yes. But I am also a realist.

President Bush is not going to do anything about immigration. After his administration is over, it will be too late to deport all the illegals. So the best thing that we can do is to have an amnesty to pardon the aliens and they'll assimiliate in the next few generations, then build a wall of Mexico, and hope for the best from there.

At least we can cut our losses that way.

Or else, we're screwed big time.

We're probably screwed already, IMHO, but at least I still have some hope.

Archiologically speaking, the new evidance would lead one to assume, that those, whom we call Indians, emmigrated here, and killed of a Caucazoid populace.

There a very few countries, which have never been invaded, conquered, and settled by " others ". Even Japan's history is one in the same with this scenario; remember the Ainu ? The thing to always remember is, man , given 1/2 a chance, is now and has always been a wanderer; hence, an immigrant . Heck, it's even in the Bible !

Those fearful and screaming on about immigration and the destruction of this country, are what are called NIMBYers ! I don't like / aprove / agree with / whatever one cares to call it, ILLEGAL acts of ANY kind. But, legal and " impartial ", with NO " special favors " immigration , isn't a " hot button " of mine.

Where is your logic? Give me a reason why you seem to believe that current immigration policies and illegal immigration will result in a healthy, thriving America? Most of the places it has impacted has given us more socialist democrats. Furthermore, the physical effects are very evident in graffiti, lowered school standards (bilingual education), closed storefronts, etc.

So far we haven't even discussed immigration beyond cultural issues. My contention is that white European immigrants would lead us to socialism faster than politically naive wetbacks from Mexico. You did not even address the welfare issues I posted earlier and the states’ role in the problem.

"Stuff I'm spousing"?

What do you mean by that?

Tell me exactly what part of what I said is not true.

You just don't like what I post, and you can't merely disagree. You have to verbally assault me, comparing me to a Klansman or something of the like. Trust me, that is far from the person that I am. What I type on this forum is based on what I believe to be in the best interests for American and its continued existence. I do not let political correctness stand in the way, even if it may seem "non compassionate". I've got to use reason and what the good Lord gave me to analyze each situation. Without it, I'd be spouting off cliches and PC mantras, much like most Americans.

Probably we should limit Euro immigration to the Dutch. Italians might also be OK. For some reason the Dutch are hoplessly conservative and Republican in the US, even while in the homeland they are totally liberal.

"We have only what we tolerate.Tell your Congress person how you feel. Keep it short. Let him/her know you care and are watching. Just say "No"."

I've told them until I'm blue in the face! I've emailed, called, faxed the Congress Critters, locals, the White House and they simply ignore me. Let's face it. They're all bought and paid for by Business and business wants them. They don't want to pay minimum wage, much less a livable wage. They do nothing. Only voting both sides out will we ever see change.

You're not talking about Fredericksburg, Tx, are you? If so, you're blowing things way out of proportion.

But, but, but, B-U-T you said that you want absolutely NO immigation; not illegal OR legal and that we need to have a TEN YEAR MORATORIUM ! Now, as I surmised, you are more than happy to have the white ( even though blacks are being starved and slaughtered too ! ) Zimbaweans and Afrikaners come here.

I said that the USA turned boatloads of European Jews away , even though they were being SLAUTERED by Hitler ! Now, go reread what I wrote and see if you can comprehend it any better, than the first time you read it. Tou have completely and utterly missed the thrust of what I said and managed to twiszt my words 180 degrees. You're the one with the problem/s !

In all honesty, I think we should shut the borders down, LOCK them down, build a fricking wall if that is what it takes.

NOT one illegal, legal immigration? Bring it on, but if you are an illegal, not only are you out of here, you are never gonna get across again.

Yes, Illegal immigration is destroying us, and by the time mexico annexs the southwest, the entire population will be mexican anyway. Time to a put a stop to it, and I don't mean just plugging the dam, I mean to take out the ones that are already here. Deportation, you are outta here!!


Dream on that will never happen. I know its nice to live in fantasy but with corparations hiring more illegal aliens and both parties wanting to allow more illegals in they will never vote to stop illegals from coming across the seas or the borders.

How many went back? You appear to have the skinny on who is coming our way, how many are going the other way?

So you now admit race is the issue, Not logic.
