Not only has Bush suggested opening the borders....but by turning his back to illegal immigration, he has been condoning these illegal acts. Your position has merit. Maybe the government should pass new laws....give these people work visas and ID. And let them work in jobs that Americans don't want to do (Bush administration's words). But here's a fact. At this time, the bulk of Mexican immigration is illegal. The Bush administration apparently thinks the present laws are bad. So they choose to do nothing. Well pot laws are bad too. But I don't see the government letting pot peddlers and users slide. A law is a law. Until it is changed. This administration's selectivity in deciding which laws to enforce is hipocracy. Plain and simple.
What? The government wants to aid and abet illegal alien invaders and interfere with the rights of Americans because the corrupt Mexican government is whining again? Preposterous.
Earth to Washington.... DO YOUR JOBS AND STOP THE ONSLAUGHT! MILITARIZE THE BORDERS NOW!

"Your planted axiom is that the murderers are ranchers rather than unemployable drunks, druggies, and half-wits out to vindicate their imagined superiority."
Interesting. You seem to have an agenda in your posts. I am interested in factual information regarding this issue, and realistic discussion of the results of the continued situation on our borders, and the proposed policies of "Amnesty" and "Guest Worker" programs. Your agenda falls in line with those who wish to demonize and shout down those who want to call the Federal Government to account for its failure to defend our nation's borders, its single most important constitutional mandate. Your protestations of conservative motivations not withstanding, I find your token throwaway Hillary bashing disturbingly ingenuine, and basically beside the point. If you mean to characterize honest citizens as "half-wits out to vindicate their imagined superiority", then I would suggest that other members of FR regard you as basically a dishonest disrupter, as you seem to fit the profile. Clearly, you have been here for a while... but your choice of rhetoric is quite disturbing and unfortunate. If my post is responded to with vituperation and ad-hominem attacks, I would point to that as proof of my suspicions.
My planted axiom?
The Associated Press is clear in its intent to smear ranchers and farmers as psychotic rapists and murderers. The original posted article is still there for all to read and comprehend.
You do realize that you're posting on Free Republic, don't you?
Rush did a great job of countering Daschel's comments yesterday on the Russert program. I was about to pass on it, but I'm going to develop the audio for that program later this afternoon and post it here where everyone can hear it.
Folks right here on this forum are all too willing to damn these patrols as racist Nazi efforts, giving the illegals a free pass. I find them much more disgusting, for they should know better.
You and I are on the same page on this. I agree that the activity down there on the border could be classified as vigilantiism, but I think we are playing into the government and media's hands if we use that phrase to describe the activity down there. Vigilanti is a very powerfull and negatively charged word. We need to develop this debate around "patrols" and let the other side explain why folks can't protect their own land by utilizing them. I think we should avoid using the term vigilanti.
I read your post and it was quite good. I hardly hate to diminish it with a simple matter such as this, but would you kindly post your messages in black, not in blue.
If everyone were to start posting in multi color (throwing in smily faces even, arrggghh) this board will get real messed up and hard to read. You know, like those kiddie boards.
Thanks.

I do use mutliple colors. I know some folks don't like it. I generally do it when I know I'm going to be copying a lot from the orginal text. I find it desirable to make my comments right next to the comments I'm responding to.
Take a look at that post again. In that instance I used one color for my response, for the most part. At a glance it makes it much more difficult to distinguish between my comments and the original text, even though I used quotes extensively.
The post you addressed should have been written in black, since I didn't follow the model I had intended to from the start. If everyone were to start posting in multi color (throwing in smily faces even, arrggghh) this board will get real messed up and hard to read. Yes, I suppose that's somewhat true. Then again, utilizing different colors can actually make posts much easier to follow.
At times I will use multiple colors and other times I'll use all black. I don't mind your raising the issue. It's actually a debate I have with myself too. Thanks.
You can say the same thing about the majority of the population of the world.
Well it most likely is druggies and the number of women murdered takes time and probably an organized effort. This has been going longer than the "militia groups" have been around.
see post 52 . Look at all the little wackjob commies.
