I have always thought what a neat joke if we could intercept truck loads of them and direct them to the homes of all these political supporters. Just tell them that is where they can find work. Wouldn't that be a hoot?
Do you think flying airplanes into buildings is the only danger posed to this country. I actually heard a supposedly intelligent man say we didn't need to close the southern border because non of the 9/11 attackers came across that way. Just mind boggling!!
[Stop foaming at the mouth! When Jewish Americans show partiality to Israel you don't get excited?]
Now if those same Jewish people were depending on me to pay for 3/4 of their basic necessities - and were here illegally - not paying taxes, not obeying laws. You bet I would. You bet I would.]
The same thing with the African Americans and the Africa/Haiti issues?]
Well, I just think the black Americans ( who have been here for generations) support of 'all things African' is just silly.]
[ American women are always partial to women issues, and so on]
Not so. Many of us are partial to American issues.
[They WILL NEVER assimilate! ]
If you are here illegally - you need to go home. I don't care what age (and that includes anchor babies), sex, color, nation of origin, IQ, level of education (did I cover everything).
NOw that we have all illegals out. If you are here, you need to pay your own way. Stop depending on the taxpayers to take care of you - I don't care what age, etc, etc.
Now that we have only legals, who are supporting themselves here - they need to be made to obey the laws - have valid SS cards and pay taxes like everyone, have driver's license, carry auto insurance, just do no more, but no less than any other American must do. I don't are what age, etc., etc.,
Next thing - learn Engllish - I don't think we should have to pay extra to have legal documents printed in their native language - that is not assimilation - that is fairness to this country. No special favors, no freebies, no set asides just be fair to the rest of us.
Now if that happens - goodness, I don't care if they don't want to assimilate - that is their busness. BE legal, obey the laws, support themselves, no special favors - then live like they want. Assimilation is not the same as expecting them to be treated no differently than other citizens. Let them live where they can afford and want to live. Let them wear what they like and can afford. Let them speak whatever language they want at home and to each other - just don't make me have to learn it to get a job, etc.. Let them eat what they like and can afford.
But they need to be told the truth - it would be in their best interest to adopt the culture of America. It has served us well. They came to America, mostly, for the economic benefits, and for the benefits of freedom we have. NOw if they choose to destroy the American culture - how is it to their benefit? You see to ask them to adapt and respect American culture is not all selfish on the American's part. There are, of course, a lot out there who support the multicultural agenda that would lead you to believe it is selfish. But it is to the benefit of the immigrant as much or more than the American.
OK - I'll bite - what does Americans of Mexican decent being in the military have to do with this thread?
After a speedy trial, I assume...
You mean an intellectual from the "Lincoln is God and the War of Northern Aggression was all about slavery and had nothing to do with tarrifs" herd can't even call up the intellectual horsepower to attempt to answer the question?
No I am not a southerner, but I sure can recognize fresh manure when I see it.
I apologize for those of my countrymen wo have never been beyond 50 miles of where they were born, or are oblivious with what Australia, or Mexico for that matter, is really like.
Before the Civil War, many states were under the illusion that they were voluntarily in a "union". Whether they were or not has been debated in thousands of books since then.
After the civil war, no such illusion should exist, with the possible exception of Texas (a state where the union had a greater desire for statehood than Texas did), which managed to include a clause in statehood that allows it to withdraw.
Not only must a state vote for secession, but all the other states must agree; with the exception of California, I don't see that happening.
About Mexicans "voting" to secede? Not a prayer. First of all they must be citizens. I can't imagine anyone so ignorant as to promote Aztlan having the patience or brainpower first to acquire citizenship.
Also yes, although tens of thousands of non-citizens have voted (illegaly) in the western states, it is increasingly looking like that is about to come to a halt too.
I hope that answers your question.
So it's a given that this is all about "voters"?
If that is true we are doomed with the present political choices.
If not Bush, someone eventually will figure out that "by the people, for the people" refers to our citizens, not Mexicans, not the U.N., not the world court, not foreigners with tourist visas, not illegal aliens, just American citizens.
