Heartland Invasion

>> Illinois is yet another state that has experienced an unusually large growth in immigration. The nonpartisan Center for Immigration Studies estimated that due to immigration, the population of Illinois would increase by approximately 3 million persons over the next 25 years. The consequences are predictable: Bilingual education increased the cost per student by about 50 percent; the state spends more than $170 million on welfare for illegal aliens; the increase in crime costs the state $44 million to imprison illegal aliens. To the casual observer, Mexicans coming across the border to fill jobs in industries such as textile mills and meatpacking plants are simply an innocuous source of cost-effective labor. The amnesty-for-illegal-aliens crowd still chants the same weary mantra. <<

Our RINO governor pandered to illegal aliens and Spanish-governments (Mexico, Cuba, etc.) throughout his term and was swamped in a huge scandal because Spanish-speaking illegals received driver's licenses and caused dozens of accidents. The most infamous case was the "Willis family" in Milwaukee where an an illegal truck driver couldn't read the sign that said he was driving on the wrong side of the road (nor understand the radio messages telling him to switch lanes), thus causing him to slam into a minivan, killing six kids.

If you'd like to see the results of our RINO governor pandering to "socially conservative" illegals, check out the 2002 election results for Illinois. Oh, and check out which "hispanics" managed to win elections in this state. (hint: not any that ran with an "R" next to their name)

To really figure out what it is about, we need to think about the long term big picture. I believe it is a very, very ugly picture.

What is that picture? None of this has made any sense at all since 911 and the decline of job opportunities. Do you know anyone who didn't think the borders were going to be shut, at least for awhile, after 911? I don't.

Joe, Couldn't agree with you enough. Like you and others who frequent the "illegal" threads, I see the illegal invasion as the biggest threat to the destruction of our country (although legal immigration is out of control as well).

I saw where you were attacked by the Bushbots en masse the other day on a huge thread, when they were all cheering on Bush for something or other (can't remember the subject but it was not immigration-related). You posted your comments about how he is harming us with his illegal policies, and I remember how they dumped on you and said you were just an angry, bitter "Jose" who never had anything good to say, and was obsessed with immigration.

Sad to say, they will always see "only what they want to see" and will defend Bush to the end, regardless of all the undermining and damage he does. They are no different than the NOW harpies who lionized Clinton despite the proven fact that this thug is a psychotic female predator. If and when the Bushbots become the victim of a violent crime at the hands of an illegal -- like that poor woman in Queens who was gang-raped a few weeks ago -- it may finally hit them over the head big-time. With the way the illegals are slowly taking control of this country, it is more likely to happen. And maybe only then will they see "Dubya" as he really is. Then they will find out that his devotion to Barney and Spot, Laura's wardrobe, Dubya's "cute grin", and all the silly, childish things they love to crow about are not the things they should have been focusing on.

It's like the king with no clothes. They refuse to see. Or it's just all an act, for the good of their party. Jesh, who knows. LOL.

Thanks.

We're soon to have Mexican trucks rolling into all our states, thanks to NAFTA. Will the drivers of those trucks be required to read and speak English? Will they be required to have AMERICAN insurance? Will they be required to pass an AMERICAN driver's test? Driving in Mexico is one thing - driving on American freeways is another. Does anyone know?
