Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
“they come from the same countries, live in the same communities and families, and are often the same exact people.”
Ummmm..No..They’re not.
‘Legal’ immigrants go through all the necessary procedures to come to America, uhh, legally.
“Illegal’ immigrants storm the back door and arrive by ‘stealth’ to push there way into our country because they feel it is their ‘right’ to be here and no American ‘laws’ are going to stop them.
Legal immigrants abide by the law.
Illegal immigrants don’t and are nothing more than criminals.
Oh please.
Great article. I am one of the supposed bigots who are aginst the flood of illegals and legals from (primarily) Mexico. We are going to lose our Southwestern states relatively soon.
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
* T.B. was virtually absent in Virginia until in 2002 it spiked a 17 percent increase.
* Washington, D.C., T.B. had a meteoric rise of 188 percent. Public health officials blame immigrants, traced to illegal aliens from Mexico.
* The Queens, New York, Health Department attributed 81 percent of new T.B. cases in 2001 to immigrants, with 42 percent of all new T.B. cases ascribed to the foreign born.
* Violent T.B. outbreaks afflicted schoolteachers and children in Michigan and adults and kids in Texas. The teachers and kids caught it at school from the coughing children of illegal aliens.
* In Minnesota, the police suddenly came down with M.D.R.-T.B. The cops caught it in their patrol cars when they arrested illegal aliens who coughed in their faces.
* T.B. erupted in Portland, Maine, and DelRay Beach, Florida, directly traced to illegals.
* Chagas disease, which has no known cure and has the revolting nickname of “kissing bug disease.” The bug has parasites that favor the lips and the face for infection and infects 18 million people in Latin America.
* leprosy: Suddenly, in the past three years, America has more than 7,000 cases. Illegal aliens brought leprosy from India, Brazil, the Caribbean and Mexico.
* dengue fever. There was a recent outbreak in Webb County, Texas, on the border with Mexico.
* Polio was eradicated from America but now appears in illegal immigrants.
* Malaria was obliterated but is now emerging in Texas and other states.
* About 4,000 young children under age 5 have contracted a disease called Kawasaki, known as “strawberry tongue.”
* And there’s the deadly Marburg disease.
* And there’s the ever-present and increasing Hepatitis A, B and C; an outbreak occurred near Pittsburgh, where 3,000 came down with it thanks to infected Mexico-grown scallions and illegal alien kitchen workers in Chi-Chi’s restaurant. Two Americans died.
Couldn’t agree more. Everybody’s afraid to say what they’re really concerned about (or should be concerned about) and that’s a massive change in our social and cultural environment due to the large volume of immigration, AND its lack of diversity - being primarily from one country. We need to drastically reduce the flow and increase its diversity.
In the end the illegals will get everything that they and their proponents want and they not have to pay a penny or be punished in any way.
“Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.”
Or...
“Don’t pi$$ on my leg and tell me it is raining.”
This is a perfect example of how the average person gets screwed when the Liberals and Conservatives agree on something at the expense of the average person.
And there really aren’t checks and balances. At least right away. Wait until the next election.
I consider myself moderate and I am extremely unhappy with the Republicans right now. Starting with Bush. I might even consider switching parties. Unfortunately, the Democrats are screwing us too.
It is a perfect situation for a Perot type of candidate who will give Congress and the President back to the Democrats in 2008.
Two Sides of the Same Coin--The Connection Between Legal and Illegal Immigration
It’s not just a moratorium needed. When illegals come into the country and their kids get into our public school system, they join our own children in being indoctrinated that America is bad. We are the source of all their problems in life.
Also, with the booing of our soccer team and Ms. America, and the racist hatred shown to us Americans duing the latest street protests (Si se puede!) it’s obvious that the current crop of Mexicans/Hispanics don’t like us all that well anyway. Yes, they can earn some US dollars here to send home, but they certainly don’t want our culture, our language, nor do they understand our amazing history. They are Mexican and that’s where their alligiance lies.
This is just one woman’s opinion, but that’s how it comes across to me. In the past it semms that anyonw who came to this country knew they had to work & support themselves - there may have been relatives, but no “social services.” If they wanted make good, they HAD to asimilate. And we taught all kids that America was good, and WHY.
No wonder that older generations of immigrants are doing well, but their kids are increasingly nationalistic (to their old country), racist, and getting into gangs. Our leftist friends have “helped” them do that real well. Everything the left touches they corrupt.
The author needs to drop his latte, Take a step outside his(it’s) world.
I do not support a moratorium. However a reduction to historic levels of, say 1/10 or 1% of the population per years (300,000) seems reasonable.
I don't know if I agree with that, but...DANG...your list is scary!
We are SO screwed.
Not quite yet.......we are still breathing, and we will not relent!!
I feel like we’re locked in a sealed train, that’s been hijacked by madmen heading for a broken bridge.
