America is at war against Muslim terrorists, not immigrant laborers. Immigrant laborers have always been welcome to America except by labor unions and xenophobes. (xenophobes are people who dislike foreigners)
And then there are the Bush-hating demagogues such as Pat Buchan and his minions who try to exploit racism for political reasons.
Who are you at war against:
1. Muslim terrorist
2. Immigrant laborers, or
3. President Bush?
Border Bump
GWB didn't seal the border because he needed the mexican vote to get elected. He barely made it into office last time. If ,while goveror of Texas, he had closed the border like he should have, we would have a democratic president right now. It was a matter of trading one evil (illegals) against another evil (democrats). But, after this election, after our troops come home from Iraq, he should re-deploy them along the border, and simply consider it a continuation of thier mission. This idea that we "can't stop the illegals" is just so much B.S.
Your Koran posts got me thinking-The picture of the palace with all the virgins,thousands of servants,heaps of material and carnal excess is right out of the Heffner Playboy hedonism lifestyle!
Very strange for a"spiritual"religion.

I believe it is because of illegals. When's the last time you heard of ANYONE having whooping cough? It had to be brought here from somewhere else.
These gutless, G-d d@mn politicians that will sell our souls to buy a vote need to to start paying attention that hey, your career means nothing to the electorate. What matters is OUR health and safety. You're all going to find that out the hard way sooner or later. G-d, this frosts me.
What does this have to do with terrorists? It's just the same old xenophobic argument that foreigners bring strange disease's.
It was said about the Chinese, Irish, Poles, Asians, Africans etc...
We don't quarantine tourists, diplomats, laborers, immigrants or other visitors.
The government does nothing about cleaning up sites like these; it is all done by local citizens. I can't call them true volunteers as they have little choice -- either clean it up or leave a festering health hazard in their neighborhood. Our public health officials are getting worried and try to make people follow full hazmat protocols at these sites. Drug resistant tuberculosis and hepatitis are the main worry, but things like leprosy, plague, and Chagas disease are starting to show up as well.
Maybe the government has more important things to do than clean up litter in order for you to have a pristine park to vacation in.
If the border patrol didn't have to waste time and resources processing undocumented laborers they could redirect those resources to anti-terrorists efforts.
But you demand that the agents stop their investigations of Muslim infiltrators in order to come pick up trash that annoys you.
Multiply that photo by several hundred times per month. A conservative estimate is that we have a minimum of 750,000 illegal scumbags passing through here every year. According to official BLM estimates, each one casts off about ten pounds of solid trash - that's 7.5 million pounds scattered all over the landscape.
By the way, the photo is not a park -- it's a friend's back yard.
Now, everyone, what you saw was not an illegal alien or a terrorist; swamp gas trapped in a thermal pocket was reflecting the light from the planet Venus.
I guarantee you're a liar Mr. Adame. The question is..why?
Well isn't that nice.
"Process guest workers."
In other words, give them amnesty? Because once we "process" them they are never going to leave! The guestworker program does not work - just ask the Germans. You've been brainwashed.
change our immigration system to orderly process guest workers into this country leagally.
We don't need "guestworkers." Processing guest workers means giving them amnesty and allowing them permanent status in this country. We don't need them!!!!!
I say we do.
For what? To scrub your toilet?
Then I say we rid America of all government sponsored welfare. Then there'd be no jobs left Americans won't do for which Americans get paid for not doing them and for which Illegaliens steal their way in to do.
I'm afraid the demographics already indicate that New Texical is a lost cause already.
