U.S. Constitution Article 1 Section 8 Clause 15:

and repel Invasions;"


U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"

That's all well and good travis but according to a Fox/Opinion Dynamics poll a majority of people don't see, as you do, people washing dishes and making beds an "invasion".

Opinion is divided on eliminating public assistance, such as education and health benefits, to illegal immigrants and their children. Forty-three percent of Americans favor stopping public assistance for illegal immigrants, while 45 percent oppose it.

Even so, a 62 percent majority, including almost equal majorities of Democrats (65 percent) and Republicans (62 percent), favors allowing illegal immigrants who have jobs in the United States to apply for legal, temporary worker status.

Maybe let up on the bellicose swagger and accusing those who don't agree with you as "un-American" and maybe you can influence more people and win more friends.

BTW, you can put me in the 43% that says that non-citizens shouldn't get welfare benefits.

After reading this thread from beginning to end, I'm appalled to see that IslamoCommieObserver was banned while Dane was not.

From what I read, either Dane should have been expelled rather than IslamoCommieObserver, or both.

But what do I know, I'm just a newbie.

Dane,

Lady, would you please name one country in the whole wide world that doesn't control its borders, including any country that allows immigration?

If you have no answer to this simple question then quit accusing people of being what they are not.

Please name ONE such country without the why's and why-nots.

JMO, I think it is the hyperbole and pompousness of the strident anti illegal side. When I read hyperbole of businesses that produce good honest products and services being called criminal, when they already have enough regulations and roadblocks put in front of them because of govt., it makes me dismiss them.

Business ain't the problem, the govt. is.

Just wish I saw you go after government inaction and complicity with the same vigor. Or any vigor.

You mean the vigor some on FR go after those "evil" businesses.

Sure, that would be sufficiently vigorous.

Don't ask me why, but the open borders advocates are untouchable on FR. After inciting the most vicious race-baiting flame wars, at most they get a one week time out. Meanwhile, the patriots they goad into flame wars get the perma-ban. That's how, over time, FR tilts the "playing field" toward the open borders lobby.

We should just adopt and enforce Mexican immigration laws.

For example, if you are an illegal alien in Mexico you are deported if you are lucky. If you return after being deported, you get a ten year prison term.

The point is that America has survived and prospered with every wave of immigrants, be they the Irish, Itlaians, Jews, etc.etc.

That's just the point - they were waves - as in a one time shot. After a few generations, with no ongoing support, they assimilated and became Americans. Most of them wanted to anyways.

The current situation is not a wave but an ongoing and increasing flood. Instead of ghettos forming for a generation or two and then dissolving, they now get constant reinforcements and harden into Third World barrios. The fact that our government panders to them with native language ballots, etc. only insures that they not only take longer to assimilate, in many cases they never do.

The other difference is that a lot of these illegals don't want to become Americans, just live like them. Check out all the Mexican flags/decals on their uninsured heaps.

No, I don't just "say" I do not hang out these threads, the fact is I don't, and you know it.

Nice try Dane. You can't bait me.

Were you not so woefully ignorant about the illegal invasion,
you wouldn't be posting such pathetic tripe.

Dane,

You don't have an answer to a very simple question, which puts your arguments in a very bad light.

The result is my new and improved tagline.

No previous wave has been rewarded with taxpayer money for being poor Thanks to LBJ.

Viva la 'great society'..... That's where all of this madness started IMHO.........

Just keep this definition in mind:

Quisling: a synonym for "traitor", someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.
