Divine says immigration reform challenging

Your suggesting changing a law more than a 100 years old enacted to help slaves and their descendants.

YES, we don't have slaves here now.

[packrat35]

No he posts here on FR under the name Jorge

[muawiyah]

Ever own a paint store Jorge?

Guess not eh!

Go do some interviews.

[muawiyah]

Actually Jorge, what I want is for the Mexicans to go home so I can make more room for 100,000 Indian immigrants who already have graduate level degrees in technical fields.

They are willing to do stoop labor for a couple of years in return for a chance at the top end of the American Dream ~ not just the bottom rung.

Actually, maybe if this works I can get another 100,000, then another, then another, and next thing you know maybe 20 million ~ have to toss in some Chinese though 'cause I'm going to run out of degreed people at some point.

Anyone who opposes my plan is a bigot.

[Guenevere]

What a bunch of hogwash!

I'm ashamed he's from Chattanooga!

[dforest]

US citizens have the will. Our so called leaders listen to open border doofus’s like this guy.

People like Mr. Devine think his own opinion is speaking for “the people”.

We could deport illegals, it is possible. While they are at it, this guy can follow the illegals back to Mexico and lobby the corrupt Mexican Government to take care of it’s own.

Hi

I too was surprised to not see Divine's pic on the thread - couldn't resist adding one.

 
Oh well, he probably still votes.

 

True enough.

“It depends on the benefits.”, “it’s probably not in our interest to ban children from school etc.”

Emergency care is fine. Everthing else is cutoff including education. We as a free people are not responsible to educate people who do not belong here, no matter what the Supreme Court says. Remove them.

“No decent people are going to agree to place a “tariff” on money transfers from people trying help their impoverished relatives in other countries.”

I don’t care about anybody’s impoverished relatives in Mexico. The government of Mexico depends on these transfers and it’s time they feel the pain of being without them. And a tariff will gain the US revenue in the meantime. If people want to send money to Mexico, go ahead, but there will be an extra cost.

“Your suggesting changing a law more than a 100 years old enacted to help slaves and their descendants.”

Nice try bringing in slavery and the associated tears and violins. The 14th amendment was never intended to create anchor babies for criminals. The amendment grants birthright citizenship for those under the jurisdiction of the United States. The children of illegals need to be declared outside that juridicition and all the benefits that go with it.

Enough with the emotionalism.

Maybe then somebody around here will buy a clue.

What uber-lib DCprofiteer doesn't and maybe can't understand is that Americans would rather have a bit of economic rough road (debatable in itself) than hand our children and there children a balkanized, unrecognizable America with a new and huge permanent underclass.

No, DCprofiteer and his despicable ilk are too enamored of their lifestyle and their toys to think about the mess they will leave. He is a judas.

[HonestConservative]

I would much rather do without and adjust our lifestyle down then continue down the path of civil war.

Who says you would have to do without? DCP? Who is he? just a guy who profits from the illegals and doesn't want to see his good thing dry up.

[HonestConservative]

No, I’m just suggesting that even if it came to that. No one has to put ideas in my head. Trust me, wtc, I got plenty of my own.

There are many that want things cheap for themselves (they assume) then they care about our nation.

[wtc911]

We agree.

>> I challenge you to show me and EVERYBODY ELSE here the "slurs" and accusations I made that others were "bigoted" in this debate.

SHOW US!

I bet you can't do it.<<

"neo-nativist know-nothings" (post 60)

To: oldbill

Tony Snow is probably one of those advising him to do it. He has been one of illegal immigration’s biggest proponents and been most insulting to those who think otherwise. He considers you folks “neo-nativist know-nothings”.

Good for Tony.

Reading the hysterical rhetoric on some of these threads certainly supports his view of the opposition.

Jorge, "neo-nativist know-nothings" sounds like a slur to me.

This is just a "polite" way of saying "stupid racists."

If, instead of calling us "motherf***ers" you call us "incestuous fellows" it's just a clever way of getting in a nice insult.

You have called many of us DU members.

And I know that you have received some hostile posts from some members, so I know you are not the only one to sling mud.

But I do respect Tennessee Nana and have not known her to lie.

I welcome reading your point of view, even though we strongly disagree about Bush and amnesty. I know that you support building a border fence (which some have failed to notice), and I even hope that you will gain a greater respect for anti-amnesty people through discussions on FR.
