I’m just sick of the cowardice expressed by some when it comes to the democrats. Instead of cowering when democrats hold power, conservatives need to stand and remind those democrats that they still work for us.
Here in Michigan we’ve even gotten a few good immigration votes out of Debbie Stabenow of all people. We didn’t get those votes by hiding under the covers and crying, we got them by making demands.
Better that we simply adopt the other team's positions, eh Johnnie?
Yaayyyyyy team!
Yeah, immigration is such a ‘loser’ issue, according to a few. That’s why ALL the candidates are suddenly for securing the borders and doing something about the problem!! They all sound like Tancredo now.
She's a Bush/Mexico bagman from the get.
Both she and Cornyn are in the tank for Mexico and the corrupt millions they can get out of the sellout.
This is not a Republican / Democrat issue. This is a big government versus ‘We the People’ issue.
I hope the people win but I have my doubts.
Once again, you fail to prove your point. What have the Dims actually accomplished? Where’s the list?
No suprise the Freepers who worked the hardest to elect Democrats in 2006 “to teach the Republicans a lesson” now are busy pointing fingers at everyone BUT themselves for the logical consequences of their past actions.
Poor Johnnie. He knows that I did nothing to help elect Democrats in 2006, but his brain can't process thoughts once he's engaged in a spittle-flecked, incoherent rage.
Point to actual evidence that conservatives stayed home in significant numbers. Im not even asking for evidence that the numbers were enough to change the election just that any significant number stayed home. The truth is that Iraq and corruption among other issues cost us the middle. End of story.
It’s time to do an end-run around these people.
Either the MinuteMen or Thompson or Hunter need to set up a seperate fund and ask for donations from concerned Americans to build a fence on our own, on those lands where the owners will allow it.
Sure, there would be gaps, but the public embarrassment of financial “vigilantes” taking control of this situation would force the government to ante up. A possible campaign slogan if they drag their heels - “Close the Gaps!”.
Instead of us sitting around griping about Congress’ duplicity, let’s run with this and put their feet to the fire.
Don't trouble our resident GOP cheerleaders with facts...
Yaayyyyyy team!
Nonsense. A fence is one of the steps, not the only one, to deal with the invasion of this country. And it would make a big difference.
“...maintaining, manning and staffing the “fence”...”
good one!
There’s gotta be at least one ‘maintenance free’ fence in VA that we could show ya...
But we need to build enough of the fence to reach effective critical mass to keep them out. The fence is not long enough yet.”

Fence? We don’t need no fence!
A line in the sand, shoot the first 20 that cross it.
Word gets out, no more problem....no expensive fence.
bttt
Yes, that would be the ideal solution, wouldn’t it? But...2,000 miles of border, so where to draw the line in the sand?
Given that this thread is tangentially about
GLOBALIZATION . . . the NAU . . . the Amero . . . etc. . . .

Subj: GLOBALIZATION EXPLAINED
Finally, a definition of globalization I can understand and to which I can relate!
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess
Diana’s death
Question: Why?
Answer:
An English princess with
an Egyptian boyfriend
crashes in a French
tunnel, driving a
German car
with a Dutch engine,
driven by a Belgian
who was drunk
on Scottish whisky,
(check the bottle before you change the spelling),
followed closely by
Italian Paparazzi,
on Japanese motorcycles;
treated by an American doctor, using
Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by
an American,
using Bill Gates’s technology,
and you’re probably reading this on your computer,
that uses Taiwanese
chips, and a
Korean monitor,
assembled by
Bangladeshi workers
in a Singapore plant,
transported by Indian
lorry-drivers,
hijacked by Indonesians,
unloaded by Sicilian longshoremen,
and trucked to you by Mexican illegals....
That, my friends, is Globalization
Why are Sicilian longshoremen giving your computer to illegal Mexicans with trucks? Don’t the trucks sink when they try to drive across the Mediterranean?
