I would prefer one Catholic Mexican who doesn’t speak a word of English over 10,000 snot-nosed leftist whites.

Yes, let's hear it for competence and responsibility! I especially like your number 5. You are an elected politician? Follow the Constitution and your oath of office or go to jail.

I think there are also a LOT of really hard-working, non-whining Americans out there. Watch some episodes of “Undercover Boss” (airs on Sunday evenings) to see what I mean. Regular people are quite oftentimes amazing with regard to how hard they work and how cheerfully they do it.

To hell with the 60s I want my 40s and 50s back!!!!!

LOL Me too!

I agree. This country simply does not need immigrants now of any origin, period. Quotas should be drastically reduced and we should remove overstayers and illegals as quick as we can. I can sympathize with the desire of foreign hopefuls, plodding through the lotterys, paperwork and legals requirements, but we just simply don’t need any more service workers. We don’t need engineers, doctors, professionals, either. Instead we need to educate, train and promote those already here rightfully.

Same here! I’m 63 and also a former Marine, Vietnam vet.

Because, mostly, I'm not going to get to see the world these people are making. I'm just sorry for my granddaughter.

That's the worst of it for sure and for certain.

I have three granddaughters to be sorry for, along with two daughters, and two great nieces for whom we are legal guardians. Only the dog is male, and he's been fixed. :)

Once the border is secure...

Yes, that goes without saying. BUILD THE WALL, NOW!

[El Gato]

All that going to jail is not necessary. Just a good application of the free market, rather than a free lunch, will do the job. After all, no one is going to buy stale and unwholesome food, if their are alternatives, and with a free market, there always are. The “or starve” is the way of the free market, but very few actually choose to starve, since even “werk” is better than that.

But I would agree with number 5, to a point. I’d say “follow the Constitution and your oath, or starve”, since few politicians can actually do anything useful that someone would pay them for and if put out on the street, they would indeed starve.

Thanks for posting this Art. I hadn’t seen it yet.

I will however send it to a few mailing lists I’m on, for further distribution.

Nice summation of what most working people are thinking. The blood suckers have killed their golden goose and are looking to replace it with Chinese and Mexican workers.

Somehow this revelation reminds me of that scene in Platoon when the soldier, against all odds, makes it to the lift off site to finally go home, still running away from the goons toward the chopper...and then they just leave without him. It's gut wrenching...but this is what the globalists have done to all of the US workers. They just do not care.

[Art in Idaho]

You're Welcome! Good to hear you're sending it out as it's a great pass-it-on email.

[GreatMan]

I will soon turn 64, I will soon be unemployed for the first time in my life (not by my choice) and I’m also as tired as The Old Jarhead.

[Joan Kerrey]

Who is going to pay for all the jails? You sound like a big spending conservative..:)

The courts probably wouldn’t allow it but I’m for building prisons in Mexico and Central America and contracting the costs out to those countries. It’d save us a bundle and fear of prison time would increase and would probably result in a lower crime rate.

[I Buried My Guns]

As I get older I yearn for the Inevitable Civil War, only because my knees are creaky and and if we’re gonna get it on, it must be in the next few years. Our patriots are dying off.
