How many purges do we need?
I am here for the duration.
Why are you going out of your way to attack good men??
I’m not asking for a purge. I’m suggesting to someone that calls other FReepers, “asshats” that he go somewhere more to his liking. Really though, if you feel that way about those of us who do not share your love for your pro-ILLEGAL alien governor, why stay? So you can call us names? That’s an incredibly weak defense of your boy.
Suffice it to say that “we” never said it was OK to come here illegally, and there have been deportations (although not nearly enough) for as long as I can remember. Regardless, illegal aliens KNEW it was against the law whether or not some Americans welcomed them. Go ask anyone of them if the don’t know it’s illegal to overstay a visa or enter the country without one. They KNOW it’s wrong, but they’re doing it because they can get away with it, much like ID theft, payments under the table, and a slew of other lawbreaking activities. They KNOW, and I don’t care if it’s to make a better life for themselves and their families, because if that’s the criteria, we better just throw open the borders to the entire world!
I agree, all ILLEGAL aliens know they have broken our laws. And we should condemn both openly and stridently, all who defend that.
I should add that IF we literally throw open the borders to the world and everyone who wants to come here to make a better life for their families, America will simply cease to exist and the very things—the stability, the wealth, the freedom, etc—that make it so desirable to illegal immigrants will disappear, too.
Just like LaRaza Ricardo Perrynista does not seem to mind the criminal illegal aliens invading our country from Mexico neither do his little toadies. Most of ‘em don’t care about LaRaza Rickeeee’s NWO crap either. Yep, Ricardo sure has fooled quite a few huh?
well, a lot of us can feel compassion for guys who try to help their families.
that’s not the point.
the point is, we are in a jobs depression with at least 2 more years of it to go..........and now is not a good time for twenty million more immigrants to be admitted into USA!
Let us get a new administration that stops destroying the economy. Then, jobs will gradually recover. After Americans can get work, we can try to help the Mexicans. Meanwhile, they do have a country and it is a very nice place in many ways, and most of them should really be there — not coming in here illegally looking to “help their families” by taking jobs American citizens really do need right now.
I will not vote for, or contribute to, Mr. Bush, I will not vote for anybody else that advocates amnesty at this difficult time.
I do not expect everyone to agree with me on this, but almost all the Mexicans I’ve met here are good people who would make good additions to USA. But yes, when they enter illegally, we also get some criminal element types.... and especially worrisome are all the anti-American Islamics who are sneaking in to America.
We need to control our damned borders. Kick out the enemy agents who have snuck in. Get the economy back on a positive track with jobs for American citizens. When we get our house in order, we can invite some more Mexicans to join us. We can’t afford to open the doors just now. We need to repair what’s being broken in our own house before we can invite more company to move in with us.
Yeah and what’s with the new designer eyewear Rick? Goin’ for that fashionista / intelligensia wing of the Tea Party?
last note:
we can still admit and help real emergency refugee type people, yes. we are human beings, after all, we can act human.
but we cannot afford to give amnesty to millions and millions of illegals. they are mostly Mexicans who have a nice big country to live in at home. we can let those few stay who really need to be here for compassionate reasons...and send the remaining 95% home. Until we get our own country fixed. Until we get an administration that stops destroying our economy and jobs. When we have jobs again for Americans, we can start letting more Mexicans come in Legally (vetting out the small but dangerous criminal element, and after we kick the Islamic enemy agents who’ve snuck in here these past 6 years, OUT!)
We need to clean our own house before we can invite more guests to move in with us. It is just that simple.
Aping Sarah Palin? LOL
Damn, another one?
I like Perry. If I could, I would’ve voted for him last time in the presidential. He’d make a great POTUS imo.
One by one, our side continues to take them out of the running.
