Latino Fear and Loathing [This is gonna make you mad]

I agree with you on too some level. It's cultural at least in the sense that respect for the law is cultural. These illegals have none. But of course they're Socialists: our socialists don't respect out laws either. Maybe we should roll back Teddy's legal immigration preferences and start defending America against the illegal ones too like she's our prized daughter?

I do agree it's time to prefer degreed smart Asians and Europeans over burrito-vending landscapers for pragmatic economic reasons within the the threshold of legal immigration, but the disposition of these illegal ones should be equated with the removal of garbage.

[gcruse]

I’m not disagreeing. Political will is what makes possible what can be done. What should be done, ie, massive deportation, is not politcally (or practical, IMO) possible. Hence, it cannot be done.

Are you talking about the oil already in production? It seems America has quite a few Billion more barrels than Mexico, plus fields that are being investigated.

[Tennessee Nana]

Yes but the Mexicans serving in the US military are LEGALLY here, they are REAL immigrants, Registered Aliens, not illegal aliens...

When I entered the military the time period was three years till to qualify for naturalization...

Dont mix apples and oranges on this subject...

In Post #106 I said...”The immigrants who came here during the Civil war were conscripted right off the boats..does she want that to happen now? or is she content with the illegal aliens not fighting in Iraq for “their” country?”

I never mentioned the Registered Aliens who happen to be from Mexico...

It’s nice of you to jump to the defense of us REAL immigrants but not necessary..We are mad enough to take on, alone, our thousands and tens of thousands...

I don’t care if she is first generation, I think the crux issue, and motivator in this dispute is money.

Nevertheless I apologize for any impertinence on my part.

[TheSpottedOwl]

Yes. We have been marginalized, and the only thing that makes the honest taxpayer relevant is the money harvested from it.

Ms. Chavez proved that she has a small problem grasping the English language. She doesn’t know what “illegal” means.

I hope she gets a lot of fan mail from folks who waited, sometimes years, to be able to come here legally.

[YHAOS]

Act like a Democrat, expect to be treated like a Democrat: dogmeat.

Hey, if it's Fear and Loathing you want...

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, now you know! :) I miss it every day. I had a great career in the Army and if I weren’t getting to be such an Old Broad, I’d join up again in a heartbeat.

[Old_Mil]

We must realize that Linda Chavez is an 8th generation American from Mexico. She has held her MEXICAN-American heritage very close and very strong. She will defend the illegal immigration of Mexicans into this country

That makes her an eighth generation Mexican who happens to reside in America, not an eighth generation American. Eighth (or for that matter first) generation Americans defend their homeland against invaders - whether or not they happen to be armed.

WE NEED 100,000 telephone calls into the SENATE - THIS TUESDAY and every day the week of June 4th. I spent all last week in DC contacting senators' offices. I found that they will NOT register calls that do not come with a city and zip code. All callers MUST have their city and zip code at the ready. I ASK that you post a LINK to the website http://www.dolz.com/call The LINK contains ALL THE SENATORS phone numbers, states, cities and zip codes IN ONE EASY PLACE. In the coming hours and days I will populate the site with the DISTRICT OFFICE numbers, the staff and committee numbers. In fact if people send me "SPECIAL" numbers like the Senator cell numbers or staff cell numbers that you happen to have, I will add them to the list. We need 100,000 people to call those senators. Make those senators, states, cities and zip codes available in this ONE PLACE, the simple and easy location to make the calls. PLEASE SUBMIT this LINK for Posting in Every Website that we read. Post to every NEWS GROUP. Post to every PATRIOT GROUP. Post to every VOTER GROUP. BROADCAST to every on your CONTACT LIST. Call it into RADIO SHOWS. I welcome any other group to put the link on their website. http://www.dolz.com/call ALSO enclosed with this email is an EXCEL spreadsheet with ALL THE SENATOR FAXES in a comma delimited format for easy importing into your FAX software. CALL, CALL, CALL - FAX, FAX, FAX. Best Wishes, Tony www.dolz.com

Right out of the "big book of activist strategy", these comments are intentionally designed to demonize and marginalize all those who oppose illegal immigration.

Frankly I don't care where they come from or what language they speak. If they came here without following our immigration laws, pay no taxes, and use public services while at the same time refusing to do anything to fit into our culture while waving their home nation's flag in our faces, then yes, I have a problem with that.

Right on all counts and I could not agree with you more.

As requested, here’s a live link. Make sure you have caller ID on when you call your representative.

It’s probably not a good idea to mention “amnesty” — because you might be discounted. (Our representatives do not define amnesty the wame way you do.)

[DesScorp]

F*ck you, Chavez, and the horse you rode in on. I'm tired of being called a racist because I want my country to enforce its own borders and not cede the southwest to another nation. Where was your righteous indignant tone when those Mexican kids were taking down the stars and stripes and replacing it with the Mexican flag? Hmmm?

You speak of "anyone south of the border"...that's funny. I have no problems with legal immigrants from anywhere, but I'm especially fond of Cuban immigrants, who learn English and are grateful to become Americans. So shove it up your reconquista ass.

[GOPskitz]

How’s this for a solution?

Find an illegal crossing the border...ARREST THEM!!!
Throw ‘em in a prison where they can be put to work rebuilding our infrastructure... You know doing the jobs that most Americans would kill for but apparently don't want to do. (Unions are gonna screw the rest of us out of getting those contracts anyway) After 10 years...throw ‘em back over the wall.

Being the resilient, hardworking, downtrodden,criminals that they are, they will be back with more certainty than a bad Schwarzenegger flick.

ARREST THEM AGAIN... I know...I’m not very imaginative but try and work with me here.

This time their prison sentence is 30 years. But here’s the silver lining for you Neo-Conservatives desperately trying to win Democrat approval like you are are an NEC in a Macintosh commercial...Anybody who has spent 30 years building our country at the expense of their freedom deserves to become a citizen!!

A man running for Congress in Long Beach believes just that!!

No amount of hard, empirical evidence to the contrary, and no amount of reasoned argument or appeals to decency and fairness, will convince this small group of Americans — fewer than 10 percent of the general population, at most — otherwise.

Why should the US Government be "fair" to non-US citizens? The US Government has no business being fair to anybody but it's own citizens. If one penny of US taxpayer money is going to support non-citizens, that is one penny stolen. If one public policy is biased to favor the non-citizen over the citizen, that policy is wrong on it's face.

The US Government is constituted by US citizens. It should have no other concerns.

Now, if somebody wants to make the argument that instant legalization of 20 Million law-breakers will somehow benefit the US Citizenry, I guess they are welcome to make it, but I don't think it will be very convincing. Unless they are going to make such an argument, I don't want to hear any blathering about "fairness".
