Wow.
Your message #6, and your messages #17 and #24 seem, to me, to be written by 2 different people.
What’s going on? Is there a committee, posting under the ID of Popocatapetl, putting this pro-Amnesty and anti-American junk on FreeRepublic?
There really is no conflict in anything that I wrote. At first, I wanted to point out to them how horrific what so many are just glibly passing around as a final solution to the illegal immigration problem, by calling it what it is: ethnic cleansing. Has that ever crossed any of their minds?
Is it collective insanity? Sadism? Is it real racism?
And the knee jerk response is since I don’t support rounding up and expelling 15 million people that I am somehow anti-American? Since when do Americans do shit like that? And yes, the expletive is very appropriate. Americans go to WAR to STOP shit like that in other countries.
There HAS to be a better way. But it is not simple, easy to understand, or as emotionally gratifying to many as “Round ‘em up and kick ‘em out!”
Good Lord, can you imagine people so glibly suggesting that “we” do that to black Americans? “They’re African, so they should be sent back to Africa.”
And then they say that they should be kicked out because “They are criminals”. And as I pointed out, NO, THEY ARE NOT. And why do they think this somehow justifies what they are thinking and saying? “It’s o.k. to brutally eject 15 million men, women and children because they are ‘criminals’.” That is some pretty twisted rationalization.
But NONE of this means that I either want illegal immigration, or want foreign enclaves in the US. But I had to explain that, too.
There are a lot of very crappy people here, on this issue.
So I have given explanations and alternatives. Something that should be done on this forum.
And I think of myself as a HELL of a lot better American than anyone who says “Round ‘em up and throw ‘em out.” People with that attitude should be kicked out of the country first. They have no place here.
Get real, illegals or their enablers would never use false IDs. :]
