You are hopeless.
*boggle*
Pro-enforcement of the law and the protection of citizens rights is not bigotry/racism regardless of your belief system..
Just dreadful!!! =^)
Have you read the just passed Homeland Security bill yet? You may wish to take a peek. The INS is now nothing more than a small group of paper shufflers and the enforcement of arm is now a separate entity with marching orders to do exactly what you want done. The problem is that the HSA is as hated around here as the illegal aliens and the libertarians are having fits.
It amazes me how RNC flacks who live a thousand miles from CA write as if they know what goes on in this State. Maybe, stinky, you just copy whatever talking points are sent to you.
Then try one of these on for size.
im·be·cile ( P ) Pronunciation Key (mb-sl, -sl) n. 1. A stupid or silly person; a dolt. 2. A person whose mental acumen is well below par. 3. A person of moderate to severe mental retardation having a mental age of from three to seven years and generally being capable of some degree of communication and performance of simple tasks under supervision. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive. mo·ron ( P ) Pronunciation Key (môrn, mr-) n. 1. A stupid person; a dolt. 2. Psychology. A person of mild mental retardation having a mental age of from 7 to 12 years and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education. The term belongs to a classification system no longer in use and is now considered offensive. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [From Greek mron, neuter of mros, stupid, foolish.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mo·ronic (m-rnk, mô-) adj.
The borders are in fact being invaded. The army can indeed be used to get things under control. We do not have to declare war or goto war with Mexico. We dont have to kill anyone.
I am NOT anti-enforcement. I am anti-illegal aliens but I just have a grasp of reality to go along with it. This country, regardless of what you may believe, will not willingly do what it will take to round up those that are here and to, in effect, declare war on Mexico by militarizing the borders.
Link, please.
I'll let you do your own research. This was all over the news for at least a few weeks when the story broke. It shouldn't be too hard for you to come up with plenty of reading material on the subject using Google. Come to think of it, how did you miss this story in the first place? Not only was it all over the media, but it was discussed here on FR too.
Now that's you all over, WRhine! LOL You're in a deep hole of despair.
OTOH, I'm as optimistic as any conservative can be and I'm hopeful for America's future and for the continued succcess of President Bush.
And, btw, INDEPENDENTS elected Bush.........
And I NEVER advocated National Health insurance. That's yet another lie of yours.
Unless you, like Tancredo, lie in your pathetic attempt to make yourself look credible.
Drug cartels and the mexican military have already militarized their borders. WE have every right to use our military to get things under control.
I dont believe that the military on the border is the "solution" to the problem. It would be a useful and called for tool at this time. We need to stop giving handouts and start enforcing our laws on illegals as well as employers who break them. etc..
Wasn't that amnesty supposed to be the first, last, and only amnesty? Of course, after Congress got done ammending, manipulating, and special interest grouping it, that amnesty came out looking quite a bit different than how Reagan envisioned it.
It's really depressing to watch people slam Tancredo for standing up for what is right.
You are right. We can seal the border using the military that is a no brainer. Now the border with Mexico is what, about 5,000 miles? How many troops are needed to be effective 24/7-365 days a year. Where are the troops to be housed, if it takes 20,000 to effectively seal the border then the minimum number required is 40,000 plus all the support personnel and transportation to and from patrol areas. you are up to about 60.000 by now and the border will be sealed only so long as we are willing as taxpayers to foot the bill. Then comes the moral question, how long will these troops be able to maintain good order 24/7 playing hide and seek with a bunch of rag tag people before they start asking for rotation out of this "chicken" outfit? You say we don't have to "kill people". Well for this to work, yes you do, that is the only feasible solution i.e. make crossing the border so terrifying that no one dares try. Are you ready to go that far?
