"I will forever despise Bush for his AWOL policy on immigration - the Government's attitude towards this very serious problem borders on treasonous."
OK, but the fact of the matter is, we have to build a lot more support for the Closed Borders movement inside the Republican Party before we can force this issue. Yes, the Republican Establishment is against us, but we can force the issue once we have a majority of Republicans solidly behind us.
The question is, how to do it? No easy answer obviously. The Minutemen are one great positive factor. Personally, I feel conservatives on the border are going to have to develop a "camcorder habit". Some of these camcorders could be unmanned. I would like to see a lot of footage collected of the border. Then someone could consolidate it and edit it, to present many graphic pictures of what is going on to any citizen willing to look.
It would be nice to have such films on television but realistically that's not likely. Nonetheless, DVDs could be produced on personal computers and DVDs can be manufactured at a low price per DVD---I believe it is 80 cents apiece. Many people would pay a couple of dollars for such a DVD which would defray the manufacture and mailing costs. (For now, there may not be any compensation for the labor put in, although that would be a nice touch in the future.)
"My grandmother was a wise woman, and she based her lecture to me on New Mexico History. I just wish she was here today so I could thank her."
Yeah. Your grandmother was quite a fine lady. Thanks for sharing your wisdom about the situation with us.
I would add that a majority of Hispanics in California voted to make bilingual education illegal (as did a majority of Californians, and it now is illegal.)
Wow.
The OB harlots haven't showed up yet, and we have people actually discussing reasonable methods by which to get something accomplished.
This is progress.
PS - I'm not advocating OB, and never have. I've been a big fan of Tom Tancredo since he started taking on the issue back in the 90's against party sentiment, and liberals in the Denver media.
Just exploring ways to get the pubbies to seriously take this up as part of the platform for '08
That's interesting. I'm from Colorado and I can remember a girl in my class being called "Mexican". Her last name was Trujillo. She made a point of letting everyone know that her heritage was Spanish. At the time, I didn't know why. I have an aunt whose family is from Mexico. However, they came here legally. She is very much against illegal immigration. She told my mother that they should all go home.
A leftist/Communist is expected to take over Mexico this year.
Venezuela/Mexico PING
"A leftist/Communist is expected to take over Mexico this year."
I had the impression the election was much in doubt.
