Freeport sure has some big old gorgeous houses there though.

I haven't driven that way in a while. I do remember reading about that place in Newsday once.

The illegals in my nabe in Brooklyn would pay $950+ to share a one bedroom between two families.

And there are enough people who will sell the apartment to them too... here no one cares about illegal renting. That's how a lot of people are able to pay their mortgages.

Yep, I would pass these beautiful brownstones on my way home from the X-bus and hear Mariachi music coming from the basement.

"Bush has 4 years to wake up to this or the GOP looses."

Oh puh-leeze, I love W but he is clueless on this issue. He loves the immigrants, legal or illegal, and he wants to legalize them all.

Oh yeah, and religion of peace, dontcha know?

GO EI! We didn't really have this problem in East Islip though. As I'm sure most of Suffolk County knows of that. "White" Islip.

I Hate the NY Slimes. This issue has nothing to do with race, for me. If it was hundreds of 1930's style caucasian hobos standing on my street every morning I would still be against it.

"The only good news is that Hillary is already working on moving to the right of the Bush GOP on this. We're fortunate that she is telegraphing her plans so early."

I don't know what Hillary's plans are. She could move to our right, and run against illegal immigration. On the other hand, this could be a "head-fake", and she could have planted the recent media stories to increase conservative unrest about illegal immigration, and encourage a conservative anti-amnesty third-party candidate to run against the Rove-backed nominee in 2008. Then, with a Ross Perot-type spoiler, she could run as a liberal and win with 43% of the vote, like her hubby.

Notwithstanding recent rumors, she was a co-sponsor of S-2381 in the Senate, which is a Democratic-proposed amnesty ("earned legalization") plan.

But the bottom line is that our party leaders are on the WRONG side of this issue. And, our party is very vulnerable, and Hillary will exploit that vulnerability. I don't know how, but I am sure that she will.

The idiots on Lawn Guyland still voted for da Toon, da Goreon and da Frog. They're kinda strange when they come to their politics.

Suffolk was very close. Kerry may not have gotten 51%.

If they think that's bad, wait until the politicians start taxing the heck out of them. We're dying here in Vegas!

Sad. We taxpayers are the puppets and the politicians are the marionettes.

They are bunking up like that here in eastern Massachusetts too. You can spot their "homes" by the satellite dishes,the junk bicycles,and the stolen shopping carts heading for the laudromat on Sunday morning.

Yeah, but at least Eastern Mass has the hot Brazilian chicks. I wouldn't mind "legalizing" one of them. ;-)

When the sheep have been fleeced enough, there will be another tossing of tea over the side.

"Yeah, but at least Eastern Mass has the hot Brazilian chicks. I wouldn't mind "legalizing" one of them."

Exactly. And an amazing number of the Brazilian guys are gay. I used to live in eastern MA, and my friend's neighborhood (in Somerville) became overrun with Brazilian gay illegals.

Those Brazilian girls could use a red-blooded Republican guy.

That is, if anyone has any tea left to toss!

Brazilian chicks are here in the Framingham and Allston area but the ones I am referring to are definitely Mexican.

My son visited Brazil 4 years ago and he said he never saw such good looking women in his entire life(35 years)----He said they were all with old men and it drove him nuts!

A gay Brazilian tried to pick me up in a laundromat once. A lot of gays and trannies from Brazil like to move here to get away from the "machismo" of their home country.

Now if we can only convince a few million of our illegals in Texas that Long Island is Azatalan Norte, and the real promised land, maybe things will improve - for Texas.

California has about 5 million to donate to that cause...
