I have been surfing the many news pages for months, and all the headlines, for the most part on a daily basis, mention the "War" in the Middle East. It is either Iraq, bin Laden, Palestine, Saudi Arabia or the like. Many articles about America going to fight over in that part of the world - the pretext being that we are fighting "terrorism". I have yet to see headlines about the Invasion of America on our Southern Border. The SILENCE is deafening on this topic. The only time I read articles related to the Mexican invasion is when one or another ILLEGAL INVADER is spotlighted as not being able to get "instate tuition" at some tax funded school, or one of them needs very expensive medical care. All of this type of "news" coverage is based upon the bleeding heart mentality that we rich Americans should be opening our national door and bringing in all who wish to come and benefit from our years of hard work. We have laws regarding "immigration" and we have a procedure to be followed to legally enter America. Many foreigners follow those rules and eventually are able to enter - legally - and then apply to become citizens. I welcome each and every one of those people. Members of my family originally entered America in this manner, coming in through Ellis Island. Another part of my family was here to greet them, as they were native Americans. I can't fathom the silence of the media in reporting on the stealth invasion of America by all those who avoid detection at legal entry points. I can't understand why they are not making this a daily headline, with the numbers in bold print as they did during the Viet Nam war with the body counts. I can't fathom why Bush, Cheney, Colin Powell, Ashcroft, and all those in Congress are not doing daily press conferences, alerting Americans to the invasion that has been, and continues to take place every single day of the year. Where is the OUTRAGE they had following Sept. 11th? Do we need planes diving into buildings and fires raging in order to stand in front of cameras saying that AMERICA IS UNDER ATTACK!!! Why are the leaders of this nation so silent on this INVASION at our Southern Border? What is the back room deal that has been cut to keep the Welcome Wagon Ladies standing there, tables heaped high with goodies paid for by the America taxpayer? Why are we not condemning Vicente Fox for sending in his stealth operatives as we condemn Osama bin Laden and his ilk? What is the difference? We have almost daily "ALERTS!" about some threat of some kind from the "terrorists" but nothing about the INVASION of AMERICA from Mexico and elsewhere. Why is there such SILENCE on this matter? Recently, Rudy Giulliani went to Mexico as a consultant to deal with the alarming crime rate there. In fact, he was alleged to be the target of a kidnapping attempt while there. I hope "dealing with the Mexican crime rate" doesn't mean sending them North to the U.S. Vicente Fox and his Coyotes have been doing that job already, and quite successfully. I can hardly wait for Sen. 'Chatty' Patty Murray of Washington to hold a press conference exclaiming how Fox & Coyotes have built schools and all those same good things she is now applauding bin Laden for. Perhaps we will have Jim McDermott standing along side of her telling of his recent visit and how wonderful those folks are that just want to find a "better life" in America. Even better would be for all this to be "Bipartisan", and all those GOP politicians could stand with them pushing open the borders so everyone can have a miserable life when America is finally brought to her knees by the INVASION taking place before our eyes. I am telling you, there is something mighty strange going on. America is being invaded and the leaders of America are pushing to open the gate even wider to the invaders. They have already granted AMNESTY to thousands and now want to grant more options for the last wave of invaders. They are keeping a lid on any news that exposes this invasion - twisting it to promote only the "plight" of those poor downtrodden ILLEGALS, so as to build up more bleeding hearts to open our homes to the invading troops. They won't even refer to them as what they are - illegal invading troops - they refer to them as "undocumented aliens" - that is supposed to make us feel sorry for them and to ignore the fact that our laws have been violated. We also have George W. Bush - the president of AMERICA - opening the Social Security benefits to Mexicans. I guess welfare, education, health care, housing, unemployment, isn't enough. We need to send them SS checks too. Maybe we should bring Rudy Giulliani back here to deal with the ALARMING CRIME RATE in the Federal Government. We have men in high places openly subverting American law and our Constitution. If nothing else, maybe Rudy, with his recent experience at attending funerals, could officiate over the death of America as we knew it. Where is the OUTRAGE? Bye, bye, Miss American Pie, Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry. Them good ol' boys were drinking whiskey and rye Singing 'This'll be the day that I die, 'This'll be the day that I die.'"

"But you see, the Reagan/Thatcher movement is only 20 years old.........." First, you try to paint Americans against massive, out-of-control, legal immigration and unlimited illegal immigration as racist, "knuckledraggers". Even though a majority of all American citizens of all colors and races feel the same way about immigration.
Now, you want to pin all of the 'Borderless', 'One-World', 'New World Order', 'Globalist' crap of the last 20 years on Reagan and Thatcher.
The "middle" you're talking about is the flaming, far left and the wealthy elites (as in Hollywood and Ivy League, braindead elites) that you're trying to pass off as the "middle". The only middle Bush is in is the middle of a mid-life crisis.
Try again you "knuckledragging" race-baiter.

Well, from your position out in far, far right field, it probably does look left.

"By the way, I am a card carrying member of the MayFlower Society." Geez, no wonder the indians wanted to exterminate the pilgrims.
It took the rest of us 100s of years to undo the bad impression your ancestors made on them.
Did great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandpa Ficklin get off the boat and call the indians that came to greet them a bunch of naked, heathen, "knuckledragging" savages?

Guess that explains the Indians' reaction when they saw the Mayflower drop anchor at Plymouth:
"Ah, sh!t -- boat people..."
To: Ben Ficklin
Well, I probably appear to be on the far, far right from where you're standing on the race-baiting, white-hating left.

How odd that you would bring the naked, savage indians.
Do you believe in the "Reconquista"?
To: JackelopeBreeder
More like the indians thought ignorant, obnoxious tourists the minute the first Ficklin opened his mouth to ask where the 'first class' accommodations were. ;^)

Matter of fact, most are equal opportunity haters--they'll hate anyone who is not a native-born WASP.Just like in Mexico where they hate anyone who isn't brown, which probably explains why Mexico's population is 92% Latino. I guess those hateful Mexicans just don't believe in multi-culturalism or diversity.
To: FITZ
Most of the murders on Long Island seems to be the Salvadorian gangs killing non-Salvadorians.
To: Ben Ficklin
"Do you believe in the 'Reconquista'?" Better you should ask how many Mexicans still living in Mexico and mostly light-skinned believe in the 'Reconquista'".
Here's something else you obviously don't know you ignorant race-baiter.
New Zogby Poll: Mexicans Say Southwest U.S. Belongs to Them; Shouldn't Need Permission to Enter U.S.
58% of MEXICANS believe the United States Southwest rightfully belongs to Mexico.
28% of Mexicans disagree.
14% unsure.
57% of MEXICANS believe they should have the right to enter U.S. without U.S. permission.
35% disagree.
7% unsure.
65% of ALL AMERICANS (not just white Americans) DISAGREE with the statement: foreigners residing illegally in the U.S. should be given amnesty.
26% support amnesty, duh.
9% unsure, double duh.
58% of ALL AMERICANS (not just white Americans) are for less immigration.
6% want more immigration.
30% want to keep immigration at the same levels.
68% of ALL AMERICANS (not just white Americans) surveyed say "the U.S. should deploy military troops on the U.S. borders as a temporary measure to help the U.S. Border Patrol curb illegal immigration."
28% disagree.
3% unsure.
How can anyone (even a race-baiting, card carrying, MayFlower Society member) deny 'Reconquista' in the face of the Mexican people's own professed beliefs?
I'm sure you'll try.

"Matter of fact, most are equal opportunity haters--they'll hate anyone that's not a native-born WASP." Why don't you have the guts to direct your race-baiting comments to the Freepers you're attempting to malign with them?
"Well, I suppose at least I'd rather the poison be spilled in public..."
Yeah, that's exactly where you and Ficklin are spilling your poisonous, white-hating rhetoric alright.

A poll is just a poll. The real world consists of actions.
All of these large percentages have the option of action. Given that option, these same people will opt for a dinner where illegals are working. Or a yard crew with illegals. Even Rep Tancredo had illegals remodeling his house
A chicken processor who employed whites only would quickly go out of business.
BTW, have you ever looked at the unemployment rates for the last decade? Exactly how many illegals were absorbed, are being absorbed?
To: Ben Ficklin
Oh, I could be a member of the DAR 5 times over (literally) and trace my roots in this country back to the 16th century, but honestly, I think that gives me even more of an incentive to welcome immigrants.
This country was not founded on the basis of national origin, race, color, religion or creed, but on principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, which constitute the catechism of our civil religion, if you will. And anyone who adopts and truly believes in those principles (that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness) and is willing to work hard and take responsibility for their own actions has what it takes to become an American, as far as I'm concerned, be they black, brown, yellow, red or green (to all those frothing at the mouth at this, I'm not advocating ILLEGAL immigration, for crissakes). When is the last time a Mexican terrorist blew up an airplane? Put the border control where it matters.
To: austinTparty
Well said.
To: Ben Ficklin
>>Even Rep Tancredo had illegals remodeling his house<<
Get your story straight. The Denver Com-post newspaper posted a story about two ANONYMOUS illegals who were hired by a CONTRACTOR to work on Tancredos house. The paper refused to release the names of the illegals so I have my doubts about the whole story. Even if true, the CONTRACTOR hired the illegals, not Tancredo. You make it sound like he went out of the way to hire them. As for the Com-post, they have made Joe Stalin proud.

Ficklin, do you realy believe your lies about Tom Tancredo, empty race-baiting rhetoric and leftist, open-borders, globalist hyperbole is an answer to the cold, hard results of a scientific poll taken
in Mexico and then in the United States? You're pathetic.
"A chicken processor who employed only whites..."
Who said they should only employ "whites"? This whole discussion has been about illegal immigration. U.S. employers should only employ American citizens and legal immigrants.
You keep trying to turn this thread into a discussion of race and color.
Now we know why the Ficklins were on the Mayflower. They were being chased.
