"Congressman Duncan Hunter said: “If Congress is to reverse its border stance after just one year, what message does that send to illegal immigrants and drug smugglers who are watching to see how serious we are about protecting America’s borders .”

“Upper class whites...?”

That’s just so wrong. Elitist. Racist.

American citizens all need to decide what we need to decide.

How does Kay Bailey Hutchison explain her action?

They own the businesses that hire Mexicans to do jobs Americans "won't do" so that they don't have to pay payroll taxes and SSI. They're the ones that pull the strings of these politicians to keep the borders open...

I don't know about "upper class whites" but what is clear here is that these people have figured out a way to get the taxpaying public of all classes and colors to SUBSIDIZE THEIR EMPLOYEES with the "free" health care in public clinics and other benefits that WE can't withhold from the illegals. This is a mammoth, direct subsidy to people who employ illegals that allows the "upper class" employers to maintain their "upper class" lifestyle at the expense of others. And OUR government, that is supposed to represent US, has let this happen. Thank you, Senator Hutchison; thank you, Senator McCain; thank you, Senator Kennedy.

Since most Americans, including most FReepers can't stomach the thought of supporting and voting for a pro-American Duncan Hunter, I suggest we support a plan to eliminate the Border Patrol altogether...

If they want Mexico, I say let's give to 'em, full bore...
