Divine says immigration reform challenging

Millions will leave voluntarily when the existing laws are strictly enforced by deporting those we do catch and cut off their income by punishing any organization who does business with the illegals.

That's not going to happen either.

It won't be too long before we'll all see the adverse effects of the newly enacted laws on a booming Arizona economy.

Maybe then somebody around here will buy a clue.

"I've never heard anybody who's in charge of immigration enforcement ever say that they thought that they could deport 10 million people," he said. It's not going to happen.

I wouldn't bet your farm on that....the tide is changing...

WHAT’S RIGHT for America doesn’t include giving America to the third world.

No kidding. I never said otherwise.

[Isabel C.]

I'm on the side of WHAT'S RIGHT.

Do you believe that obeying our laws is an important component of "WHAT'S RIGHT"?

I love people.

Do you love lawbreakers?

[HonestConservative]

Thank you so much.

Very very interesting.

If millions of ants can migrate in a season, and salmon as well, I see no reason why people can’t do the same.

However, Israels successful use of a fence as well as that of San Diego should also be persuasive.

Briar Patch Syndrome

Ironically edited out of American literature because of Political Correctness. Apparently, "Brer" Rabbit and "Brer" Bear are the equivalent of the "N"-word.

Hint: "Brer" is what "Brother" sounded like in the Antebellum South. It insults the greatness of African-American and Southern US culture to just bury such folk tales under the altar of PC. Sickening.

Really? And your evidence of that is what?

Where are the leaders and politicians promoting mass deportation of more than 10 million illegals?

It's not going to happen.

[William Terrell]

I would have to see immigration enforcement before I could think about immigration reform.

[HonestConservative]

We must be on the look out for clandesdine midnight sneak bills that deliver parts of the Amnesty bill.

[Niteflyr]

The Constitution clearly provided that former slaves born in the US were citizens. That was the intention. Decades later a series of bad court decisions resulted in the re-interpretation of the clause in ways rejected by the folks who'd written it. There is no "law" in the sense of a statute that creates "birthright citizenship". In fact, the whole business rests on nothing more than reversible court decisions. If that happens, there are millions of Americans who will find that they are no longer citizens and must return to their native country somewhere else.

You are exactly right....all it takes is a re-interpretation as it was never intended to foster the "anchor baby" debacle...

[whipitgood]

Apparently you are on the side of illegal immigrants. You think they won’t riot. You think Americans don’t want them deported. May I ask again: Whose side are you on? Or maybe I should ask what you think is right?

[HonestConservative]

Yep, if nothing else we Freepers are totally clueless. /s

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

You do realize that you are posting on a CONSERVATIVE web site?

Perthaps you love people a little too much if you want to give America away to them.

Huh? I love to see people gain the American dream. If you call that "giving America away" then that is on you.

But then I think that it’s likely that you are hiding your real agenda from us.

I don't have to "hide" ANYTHING from you bozo.

I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK about my positions on ANYTHING.

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

QUISLING: a synonym for traitor, someone who collaborates with the invaders of his country.

[Tennessee Nana]

Yes like the DREAM Act...

We saw the Supreme Court reverse Plessey v. Ferguson with Brown v. Board of Education.

A future court, for a variety of conceivable reasons, could reverse the current interpretation on "born" ~ possibly by tieing in the "jurisdiction of" clause, and massive social dislocations would ensue.

The illegal alien advocates did not seem to appreciate that threat in their latest effort to write a law to legalize 20 million Mexicans ~ apparantly they are unaware of the power of the courts in this country.

[Jorge]

Apparently you are on the side of illegal immigrants. You think they won’t riot.

You need to read my posts again.

The fact that I don't think they will riot has NOTHING to do with being ON or AGAINST their "side".

[muawiyah]

Who said "mass"?

The deal is that America is going to sic it's lawyers on the illegals and make their lives a living hell for the next 35 years ~ more or less the same way we do the legals.

[Man50D]

Huh? I love to see people gain the American dream.

They can legally gain the American dream by waiting in line with other foreigners who have been waiting outside the U.S. for many years!
