Sorry, bud, you lose it here:
The American people haven't lost their resolve to stop illegal immigration. Their elected representatives are ignoring the wishes of the majority, but to their own peril.Go get the votes. Then call me an ass.
Nobody here questions illegal immigration. We question your conclusions drawn from it. And that wasn't my point, anyway, which your small ears weren't able to hear. We're talking about what constitutes immigration. Sad to say, but illegal immigration is immigration. You wanna talk War on Drugs? How 'bout speeding?
Here's another hint (listen carefully):
malum prohibitum, non malum in se
Got'em. The Democrats promised a blanket amnesty, if they were given control of both houses of Congress. Did they get it?
You can bet your bottom dollar if the Democrats would have won, the media would have played it as a mandate for amnesty. Why isn't the converse true, Nicollo?
Nobody said illegal immigration wasn't immigration. Where did you read anything to the contrary? What are you talking about?
Their elected representatives are ignoring the wishes of the majority, but to their own peril.
Typical confusion of this republic for a democracy. Democracy is nothing but mob rule and a tool of populist demagogues. A little tidbit just to throw some gasoline on the fire: in the Dixiecrat South, a majority were for segregation of the races (parenthetically, race, anthropologically speaking, is in and of itself a false concept)--I suppose that means that, according to the speaker of the above-noted sentence, we should have continued and enforced miscegenation laws. As for me, to hell with democracy and give me LIBERTY instead!
