Vice President Joe Biden extolled immigration as crucial to American innovation Saturday at a college graduation ceremony in South Florida. […]
Biden said a “constant, substantial stream of immigrants” is important to the American economy, urging citizenship for immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
“That’s why we have to act to bring 11 million people out of the shadows and put them on a path to citizenship,” Biden said. “These people are already Americans.”
When someone in the crowd shouted “Stop deportations!” he replied, “We’ll do that, too, kid, but let me finish my speech.” …

I really wish you had a second trick.
Look I am focused on this right now, because it appears to me that both of our parties are in complete 100% sell out mode, and both are sheering off as much for themselves as they can, while the destruction of America continues.
Sorry but that’s the way I see it.
China is just about to pass us. For an entire generation we have been sending jobs to China.
Now that has changed.
It is now time to support America.
Neither of our parties is standing up for America.
Neither one. I am trying my darnest to point out to the GOP that this is the single defining issue of the future.
We need jobs.
American jobs. Neither party is standing up for America.
In just one generation, we have dissassembled what was at one point the most successful nation in the history of earth. I want us to continue to lead the world.
I don’t see that happening, by sending America’s industry to China.
I see that ending badly for America. One of our parties will eventually stand up for America.
I’m just trying to influence the GOP to be that party.
It is amazing, how much of America wants to sell out our very own nation.
Problem is, what you propose as an ACTION is actually a RESULT.
It would be like me posting over and over again, “I really need a house that’s worth more! My house needs more value! More money value for my house!”
No, that’s a result. What I need is to post ACTION suggestions. Things like, “I need to paint my house! I need to landscape my lawn! I should repair the electrical and plumbing in my house!”
Then my house would gain value.
You keep posting the RESULT you want. You need to be posting the ACTIONS you want, in support of your RESULT.
I said nothing about the jobs leaving; of course that is a horrible thing, and destroying our middle class.
These immigrants (legal and otherwise) are being welcomed to save other jobs: schoolteachers (whose unions are the de facto owners of the Democratic Party), cops/firemen, politicians, etc. - the whole public sector that can’t weather the exodus of taxpayers from Red (communist) states. At the same time they provide the wage suppression necessary to sink our standard of living to that of Red China’s rising middle class.
I have posted how I feel we should respond, numerous times. However I have avoided focusing on that too much.
There are lots of areas which can become huge issues of disagreement. I don’t want disagreement. I want us to discuss what is currently wrong.
We need to discuss this however. Now. America is rapidly losing our national lead.
To a massive communist nation.
A communist nation, with 1.2 billion people. America wake up.
We need to compete. Stop selling out to China.
Compete with China.
“Stop selling out to China. Compete with China.”
We were sold out when our leaders stopped referring to them as “Red China”; we need to revive that custom.
I believe you are right.
We have over-reached toward China.
China may (or may not be) a friend. China is a competitor. Maybe not an enemy, but maybe they are.
We are being far too friendly right now toward China. China is looking completely out for itself. Americans cannot buy land in China. Americans cannot even buy businesses in China except as minority owners.
We need to stop being so idealistic.
America we are a great country. We need to act like it.
One or the other parties need to stand up. Or we need a new party to stand forward.
America needs to remain strong and on top.
I don’t see either party currently looking out for America above all.
Neither party is America-first.
Tea Party, stand forward on this.
Red China is not a friend in any definition of the word; there is no reason not to treat them as a hostile enemy. North Korea is Red China’s sword pointed at our allies and interests in the region; it only exists through massive subsidies from Red China, and is a completely dependent puppet state. Their views on human rights, reproduction (1 child policy), and religion speak for themselves as to how much of an enemy they are; our government today is starting to resemble theirs, and that may explain why we built them up while we hollowed out our own economy.
Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Philippines, and Thailand (for starters) should prepare an alliance to combat our ally Red China; we certainly won’t be helping them out in the event of a Red chinese attack. Our shopping malls wouldn’t be able to bear the financial brunt...
Yeah all those illegal pulled Rosa ice cream bar carts I see all over town are soooooooo innovative.
