So basically breaking the law is earning a right to what you take?

That is the democrat credo.

You left out the 50,000 Americans who have been killed by illegal aliens since 9/11 and the hundreds of thousands who have been victims of criminal aliens.

Tell that to all the immigrants that followed our laws. I don’t understand where their voices are.

You know, those terrorists have worked so hard, planning, evading detection, living among us, the infidels, that they’ve earned the right to blow up a city or two.

With our own brainiacs in the GOP fighting for the same thing, is there any difference? You have to start somewhere, as painful as that may be. Where did “holding our nose” work?

DHS was a bad idea and even the name, Homeland Security, is weird and does not sound American.

Getting rid of it should be a 2016 campaign issue.

Agree totally.

This is not a race issue. Texas has always been Gringo & Tejanos. But it is a question of legality and undivided loyalty to the US.

Red Communists, one and all. Raised on Marx and Lenin, with graduate study in Stalin, Mao under professors Ayers, Dohrn and Wright.

Conclusion? We lost the Cold War.

They haven’t earned SQUAT...except maybe the right to be deported.

I could not as a Christian vote for Romney. I voted 3rd party, for a very good man who would have been a very good president. Too bad you did not do the same. You chose to vote for what you consider the lesser of two evils (and I consider equally evil) so don’t blame me. By the way, the House could stop this, just as they could have stopped Obamacare — if they had the backbone to do it, and without Romney! But you know what, there are enough of us know who will NOT vote for another Democrat with an “R” after his name, and Rinos will never win a national election again. So you might as well leave the republican party if they continue to nominate Rinos, we are not coming back to give a Rino victory.

Agreed, we are on the precipice...

It is TIME to DownSize DC!

Eliminate Entire Rogue/Unconstitutional Departments.

EPA, Energy (except nuke weapons), Education, IRS, HS ...

The list is long.

“29% of federal prisoners are illegal I heard, or was it Kaliprnia?”

Here in California they comprised 35% of our prison population.

Not to mention his “deputy”.
This from the Menendez thread...

Mayorkas, a Clinton federal prosecutor who resigned in shame after orchestrating the pardon of a major-league drug trafficker, has since been promoted to DHS Deputy Secretary.

Think about that for a while.

It's obvious the federal government has earned the right to loot our wallets, bank accounts, personal privacy... and about anything else it damm well pleases to steal.

So why shouldn't illegal aliens have earned the right to steal United States citizenship for themselves, too?
