People keep asking why they don't they close the border? Answer is simple - In the age of 0bama, such talk is considered racist and if you speak it you will suffer the consequences. Fairness doctrine is here folks. America first is out - bowing to Saudi's, joking it up with South American dictators and making "Islamaphobia" a hate crime is in. Welcome to the 0bamanation.

Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, don’t speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease.

He didn't say anything here that isn't already true.

[Biggirl]

That should have been done years ago, close the border when given an opportunity, too little, too late.

Plus will ignore the PC nonsense going on.

[who knows what evil?]

That’s New England for you...

...think any of our brain dead REPS actually read and UNDERSTOOD the bill they just passed?. ....now think “free speech”

[Mister Muggles]

"Conservative WTKK radio host Jay Severin was suspended indefinitely today after making offensive remarks about illegal aliens and the swine flu"

WOW, the FIRST word of the story is "Conservative," and he also "insulted" the swine flu itself. So much for 1st Amendment rights. Be careful what you say about the MEXICAN PIG FLU.

[Stars&StripesNE]

So, free speech is attacked when the truth is told. Imagine how bad it will get if the 'UNFairness Doctrine' becomes law.

[Venturer]

Napolitano Flu. LMAO

Two birds with one stone , he calls Napolitano a pig and he blames he for not closing the borders in one fell swoop.
He wont be too popular with the liberals.

[Doc Savage]

Can’t find where he was wrong! Am I missing something here?

[Spok]

The priorities of political correctness trump the truth, public health and national security, and the more harm it does, the louder and more shrill its supporters become. We live at a time when many believe that the sheer force of a political dogma can reshape and manipulate reality, even to the point of defying the laws of physics and nature. The Left is enthusiasticly propelling mankind toward a the Dark Ages II by turning wishful thinking on steroids into a national religion.

“That’s not the end of Severin’s anti-immigrant rants. Immigrants are leeches and their children, he warns, don’t speak English, will retard schools, add to crime and spread disease. Amid all of this, Severin has the audacity to state, ‘I don’t mean to hype the story,’ ” the paper said.

If he was speaking about ILLEGAL immigration, he's right.

My wife volunteers in my daughters' classes several times a month, and she says the entire school is out of control this year.

Seems a local apartment complex was inundated with "immigrants" and now 50% of the students speak very limited english, and some none at all.

Nobody's learning a damn thing and disruptive behavior is through the roof.

“For Severin, Mexicans are ‘criminaliens’ and primitives who export venereal diseases to the United States,” the paper reported.

OK,so break down this statement.A good percentage,most likely the large majority,of Mexicans living in this country have committed at least one crime and many have committed a second (identity theft).And many of these illegal aliens carry various diseases to our shores...VD,TB,swine flu,insects in the brain (there was such a case publicized recently).And as for "primitives"...compared to us most of them are.

So it sounds like he's right on target.

[Poser]

This is NOT a free speech issue. The government did not restrict his speech in any way.

This is an employment performance issue. Jay’s employer didn’t like the way he was doing his job. Jay’s employer is not required by any law to let him say anything he wants on their radio signal.

Unless Jay has a contract requiring the station to allow him to say whatever he wants on the air, this is a simple matter of the employer deciding to change the content of the show during those hours.
