S’ok. Let’s hope someone gets it about our borders before too long. Watching the dems debate last night was not encouraging.
How many old-timers here recall the poll run on FR for the MOST DESPISED PERSONALITY on TV? This must have been eight or nine years ago B.B. (before Bush). JUst gobs of freepers voted.
Guess who won the poll!

Grow up, Geraldo.
This is not about race, so do not make it about race in your own mind.
This is about Popular Sovereignty among United States Citizens — plus our national security and our maintaining the rule of law in our sovereign nation.
Geraldo, you ignore two letter that make all the difference: IL... as in ILlegal. No one dislikes Latinos, what we dislike is criminals, lawbreakers, felons— those who break the law. You, Geraldo, as a purported lawyer, should be one who respects the law and looks for methods within the law to get Latinos here legally to do what we want them to do for us...
There is so much to dispute in this, that it’s pointless and too time consuming to try. Hiraldo is a low life ass that seeks to herald the idea that criminality is now to be accepted, and that the honest men who don’t are extremist racists. Tell me Hiraldo, what do you call someone to advoctes a two tiered symtem of laws, one that citizens must abide by and one that one race of people do not? Get back to me when you come up with the word.

If the Republican party loses the presidency and continues to lose seats in the House, it’s because they’ve ceased to be the party of the bigger pie.
Ronald Reagan won a landslide because he believed the pie could be bigger. While Democrats were busy arguing over quotas, set-asides and affirmative action, Reagan believed that a growing opportunity would benefit all Americans. He believed we could cut taxes and increase defense spending. Reagan refused to play the zero-sum game. He said that the rich could get richer and the poor could get richer at the same time. And given the choice between a candidate that believed in a bigger pie and a candidate that promised to redistribute the pie, Americans chose the candidate with the vision of a bigger pie.
Today’s Republican Party seems to have lost faith in the bigger pie. We don’t seem to believe that we can create more jobs than we have citizens. We don’t seem to believe in an expanding American empire where Americans can greet each other with “Hola” in Puerto Rico, “Aloha” in Hawaii, and “Hafa” in Guam. We don’t seem to believe that we can tap new oil fields, improve the environment, and become the world leader in renewable power. We don’t seem to believe that liberty is essential for freedom to survive. We don’t seem to believe in an America that is both the richest and the most generous nation on the earth. We’ve lost a vision of an America that is great because America is good.
Instead, we want millions of hard-working people seeking the American dream to leave the country. We want to forbid the printing of the word “Aloha” on Hawaiian government publications through English-only legislation. We want to give up our liberties for the sake of security. We want to kick Rudy and Geraldo out of the party. We want to preserve our share of the pie.
Meanwhile, there appears to have arisen a new candidate that embraces the idea of a bigger pie. He ends his stump speeches with the exclamation, “Yes we can!” And the expansionist candidate of hope is attracting larger and larger audiences away from the protectionist party.
so to solve our problems of our Citizens being murdered by someone with no right to be here, the “yes, we can” crowd wants to continue to problem. It appears this candidate is saying “yes we can” let the Citizens continue to murdered, and “yes we can” feel good about it.....(shaking head)
I don’t respect anyone who respects Geraldo.
Why is it that Republicans think that a background check for a citizen to purchase a gun should take less than 2 minutes but don’t mind that a background check for an alien wanting to become a permanent resident takes more than 2 years?
If we made it easier for law-abiding foreigners to become citizens, we’d have fewer problems with illegal foreigners.

Giraldo was a republican?
Knock me over with a feather!
Thank You, gubamyster, for pinging in the Conservatives. I have to go now...I’ll leave this thread for better persons are coming on board....I am tired...someone please take the lead.
Even though Geraldo is Jewish because his mother is, he is always on the Reconquista side. He is an Hispanic irredentist.
Yet all his wives have been fair nordic white women
He’ll screw anything but look who he marries and makes babies with
Is this supposed to be a joke?
Next we’ll lose Barbra’s support!
“The only reason they have to jump the fence is because he [Cornyn] does not have the gall to have a program, or a process, or a legal system to have legal immigration.”
Apparently we have no legal immigration system. And a single Senator is apparently responsible for setting one up.
‘Perhaps surprisingly from a commentator who consistently railed against bilingual education and criticized my Puerto Rican community for welfare dependency and illegitimacy, (and was punched in the nose when she showed up to speak at a community college in the Bronx), Ms. Chavez went further in a May 2007 column called, “Latino Fear and Loathing.” It had me cheering.
Apparently we are supposed to admire, support and include in our party people that physically assault people, in a public place no less, they disagree with.
Perhaps Geraldo supports the neo-nazis who assaulted him (albeit not in a public place).
No thanks.
I can not stand to even watch Geraldo....he is a leftest idiot on this issue. Fox would do well to get rid of him.
You mixing apples and oranges.
We’re the party that loves the million legal immigrants.
We don’t hate the half million illegals that get in, but we want our government to take it seriously and do something about it. We don’t want a two-tier labor system, one set of laws for legal workers and another for the people in the shadows. We don’t want two classes of people, some who are protected by the laws and another class who are not.
That means that everyone needs to come through the front door. That can’t happen when it is so much in everyone’s short term interest to leave the back door open and unattended.
I love it that people say Hola, Aloha, Hafa adai, and hey buddy, Puerto Rico to Guam as you say. Those people are all here legally, they belong here. The others, who aspire to be here, welcome, take a number, do it right, and you’ll come in with all the rights of a citizen minus the vote, and in a couple of years you’ll have that too.
So then, you haven’t noticed that the violent crime rate has gone down even while the immigration rate has gone up the past 10 years?
Now, don’t get me wrong, I don’t favor illegal immigration. But I do favor opportunity. America has enough opportunities to extend to many more legal immigrants than we do currently. Our legal immigration system is stuck in the 20th century and is broken. We need a 21st century immigration system. We need a 21st century border control system. We can screen passenger lists on foreign airlines instantly. But it takes us over 2 years to check on an applicant for a green card. We have hundreds of people crossing the border every day and we have no idea who they are.
Businesses can now e-verify the Social Security number of job applicants. They also need to be able to go to London, Toronto, Singapore, Santiago or any other city to recruit new workers and be able to instantly sponsor them and their families for a US work visa and temporary residency.
