Latinos are religious, morally conservative and tend disproportionately to join the military. They also tend to be hard working and entrepreneurial. Do we really have too many of them?
Do we really want to pack them up, forcibly, by the millions in the greatest forced migration in human history? How many are there, 15, maybe 20 million? No one has ever moved 15 million people against their will. No one has ever moved half that many without concentration camps, forced marches of one form or another and mass death through plague.
If theres another way to do it, please tell me what it is. But I havent heard one. What I hear is slogans like what part of illegal dont you understand and attacks on amnesty. Slogans move callers to dial in to talk radio, but they dont move 20 million people voluntarily back into poverty and squalor. Soldiers do that (unhappy ones); box cars full of people do that. Camps surrounded by barbed wire do that. In the end you either let them stay or you herd them out. If you want to call it amnesty, go ahead.
After all, whats wrong with amnesty? The idea has a well-worn legal tradition, one strongly associated with the Christian faith. It means forgiveness. After the Civil War, Lincoln offered amnesty to rebel soldiers. Was he wrong to do so? They had taken up arms against their own government; they had killed hundreds of thousands. But Lincoln (as opposed to the radical republicans) had the wisdom to offer forgiveness. What about runaway slaves after emancipation? They had broken the law, shouldnt they have had to pay the price even after the laws were changed? Of course not. Why should immigration laws be any different?

But wouldn’t it be unfair for those who are not yet in the US, to not be included in this amnesty, therefore I propose totally open boarders, no laws regarding immigration, and special benefits for those not yet honored to be called US citizens.
Illegal aliens are government growth hormone.
30 million illegals is enough to create some 50 congressional districts and they don’t even need to vote to do it. If they do vote then those districts will be almost exclusively democrat.
Now think about it. How much does it cost to administer a congressional district? How much pork does the average congressman seek/ How many earmarks?
You are living in a dreamworld. It ain’t gonna happen.
The best we can do is STOP new illegals and assimialte the ones here who are worthwhile hardworking people.
Keep the wheat, kick out the chaff.
The term “Latinos” moves the argument from legality to race. As soon as you buy into the premise that “Latinos” are the problem, you have lost the argument. It is not about race, it is about legality.
The '86 Amnesty was supposed to be a "one time only deal". We were finally going to get serious about enforcement.
The '86 amnesty was supported by the Republican leadership, signed into law by a republican President, - and has been paying dividends for the DNC ever since; - at the local, state, and federal level.
B-1 Bob Dornan's congressional district, a district that he had represented for eleven consecutive terms, has now become a democratic stronghold.
Bowyer is clueless.
These Hispander Repubs are making sure that the Romney campaign manages to lose to the evil Obama by driving down the base turnout. WTG dipwads! The Republican Party must be destroyed after 2012!
Immigration ( low skilled; - legal and illegal, anchor babies, etc. ) is the number one reason why.

OH! ALRIGHTY then.. here it is... Grasshopper(author)..
Pass laws in every local community that you must prove citizenship or some kind legal status to reside in the USA..
-OR-
You will be prosecuted and sent to a work camp along the Mexican Border to build the wall and fortifications there.. or just deported..
LAws like this would cause many/most to Self-Deport themselves exactely the way they GOT HERE.. Its simple really they might be mexican or some other foreigner BUT THEY ARE NOT STUPID... (most of them)..
**NOTE: Not all illegal insurgents are latinos there are many chinese and other asians.. and people from every country on this planet.. Same work camp all of them..
Bumper sticker: “GET LEGAL OR SELF-DEPORT”....
I like Bowyer. He’s pretty clear thinking on most issues. But this is just nonsense. Every amnesty is just bait for another wave of tens of millions of new illegals.
There are three magnets that draw the illegals here: 1. economic opportunity, 2. free stuff from the gov’t, 3. US citizenship for their progeny. Eliminate these three and the illegals will self-deport.
The author then stoops to the level of calling opponents of illegal immigration Nazis with thinly-veiled references to concentration camps.
If one must use dishonesty and underhandedness in order to advance a cause, why would one think that the cause should be advanced?
Then the illegal ones ought to read their Bibles, paying particular attention to the parts about stealing, coveting, and being in submission to the authorities over us.
True that many are conservative in principal, but when the first act of a person is to enter our country illegally and break our laws doing that, then they have become an intruder. Just as a person who enters your home without your consent is an intruder. Anyone who is an intruder or an invader must be repelled at all cost. Only when they are willing to leave and re-enter legally are they welcome.
I would not sit by and let someone come into my home without either forcing them out or killing them on the spot.
Someone at Townhall has been nipping at the medical marijuana.
Yes, we do. Too bad the author didn't include "Law breakers" as one of his glowing adjectives about ILLEGAl ALIENS.
True to an extent. And, I suspect, many conservatives might not be so exercised over illegal immigration if we weren't obligated to pay them welfare, food stamps, WIC, Section 8, hospital care, and schooling for their kids.
The United States has a remarkable history of accepting immigrants -- anyone from anywhere. But they used to have to fend for themselves once they got here.
I argue that point with hard-core libertarians all the time. Usually get no response.
Well, you big meanie, you just want to stop the author and his friends from getting the cheap labor from the illegals who do his yard work, clean his house and his pool, and care for his children.
