You'll notice on the Alamance site that there is a lot of immigrant Mexican bashing. That seems to be a fixation with the "hate Bush" crowd.

I don't recall ever having been blacklisted by Jim Rob for disagreeing with him. OK, so we don't have flame wars in here and that's a good thing. Now if the author thinks Free Republican is run by a small clique of Bush bots he should check the environment over at Democratic Underground - say one word critical of Bill and Hillary Clinton over there and you're banned from posting for life. Methinks the reports of Free Republic's demise have been and are greatly exagerrated.

You obviously do not live in the greater L.A. area or the many areas where there are concerns and English is becoming a second language. My stepfather is of Hispanic descent and he does not like what is happening! And what about the trucks that do not have to go by all the rules and regulations that American truckers will have to abide by? And all the different permits and taxes they do not have to pay! Oh well if it is good for Mexico even though it is going to screw Americans out of jobs who cares right??

In this whole article you couldn't find anything specific to disagree with on point.  Instead you had to change the subject to more Buchanan bashing.

Could it be the writer is just a nut?  No, according to you he must be a Buchanan nut.  LMAO.

Buchanan pulled down 0.5% of the vote, yet he's the guy you fixate on whenever someone challenges your belief system.  How about shooting down some of this guy's arguments on point?  It may not be the thrill that bashing Buchanan is, but it could lead someone to think that you actually understand some of the subject matter.  Instead we're treated to your comprehension of the illegal immigration issue.

Everything boils down to immigrant (Mexican) bashing for you.  Frankly I don't see people trashing immigrants per se.  I see them talking about illegal immigrants.  You did know there was a difference didn't you?  Or did you?

In 2001 the INS took over 900 thousand illegal immigrants into custody.  Something like 95% of them were on the southern border.  The INS states that they capture between 40 and 60% of those who attempt to cross the border illegaly.  Front line INS agents claim it's more like 10-20%.  Outside illegal immigrant watch-dog groups claim it's actually more like 5 to 10%.

If the illegal alliens that are captured each year represent even 1/3rd of the total attempts, that means that over 1.8 million illegals enter this nation each year, without getting caught.  That's a major issue for me.

When the allies landed at Normandy, they had something like 350 thousand troops.  During the first campaign in the Pacific, they had 250,000 troops.  We're talking on the order of five to seven times these numbers entering our nation every year, year after year after year.  Perhaps if you tried real real hard, concentrated on the subject for a period of time, and actually contemplated some of the information offered up on this and other forums, you might be able to understand at least some possible area of concern here.  But then perhaps I'm still giving you too much credit.

I was born and raised in Alamance County. I'm betting this guy IMMIGRATED there from somewhere.

I can tell you two things: his 'paper' is an embarassment to Alamance County, and Alamance County is a good place to live with wonderful people.

I don't consider myself part of the "hate Bush" crowd. I've never heard of the referenced web site. BUT, Bush is going to have to do something about illegal immigration and the illegal aliens already here. He is not going to pick up any of the illegal votes and he is certainly in danger of losing a lot of support from those who are more perceptive or experienced than his advisors. I don't want him to be a one term President over an issue that could easily be handled.
