After HS I hitchhiked all summer up to Canada and down the coast road before college. Spaghetti cooked over driftwood on an Oregon beach with hippies in a magic bus. Different planet.

Some of my favorite Americans have been immigrants. One guy is from Malta. As a boy he watched Messerschmidts dogfighting with Spitfires over his roof.
He came here as a young man and built a life and was successful and very grateful to the country for the opportunity.

“I do NOT understand why libs cannot fathom the difference between immigration and illegal immigration. “

It is *not* mental illness. It is a deliberate attempt to obfuscate and deceive.

It is pushing an agenda.

It is evil.

Some research surveys suggest that many Trump followers aren’t so much anti-Hispanic as they are worried about the perceived effect of immigration on their culture and pocketbooks.

Gee, dya think? They start with a fixed point: racists. Then they try to figure it out.


Morons.

Crowded highways, stores, schools, 19 Trillion in debt at the Federal level, and 28% unemployment. Add in free social services, schooling, and Social Security for non taxpayers, and a lack of the necessary “love of country and countrymen” is enough for me.

Illegal immigrants receive more unconstitutional, vote-winning federal welfare per family than American families on welfare do.
Cashing in: Illegal immigrants get $1,261 more welfare than American families, $5,692 vs. $4,431

Although Trump is going to have Mexico pay for the wall, note that estimates indicate that just putting a stop to welfare for illegal immigrants would pay for the wall in about two years.

As an added bonus (sarc), taxpayers also get the following from illegal aliens.

Moron. It’s not immigration, it’s ILLEGAL ALIENS.

The problem with this article is they have it wrong from the get-go. We are not worried about immigration. We are worried about people entering the country illegally. The wall is not to keep immigrants out it is to keep people from crossing the border without going through an official entry point controlled by the border patrol and customs.

June 1952 statement by Sen. Pat McCarran (D-NV) on Immigration

(PLEASE NOTE THAT HE WAS A DEMOCRAT! THAT WAS BACK BEFORE THE DEMOCRATS MORPHED INTO THE COMMUNUIST PARTY, USA. GUESS THEY OVERLOOKED THIS ONE WHEN THEY WERE CHUCKING STUFF DOWN THE MEMORY HOLE!)

WIKIPEDIA ^ | JUNE 1952 | WIKIPEDIA

I believe that this nation is the last hope of Western civilization and if this oasis of the world shall be overrun, perverted, contaminated or destroyed, then the last flickering light of humanity will be extinguished. I take no issue with those who would praise the contributions which have been made to our society by people of many races, of varied creeds and colors.

America is indeed a joining together of many streams which go to form a mighty river which we call the American way. However, we have in the United States today hard-core, indigestible blocs which have not become integrated into the American way of life, but which, on the contrary are its deadly enemies.

Today, as never before, untold millions are storming our gates for admission and those gates are cracking under the strain. The solution of the problems of Europe and Asia will not come through a transplanting of those problems en masse to the United States.... I do not intend to become prophetic, but if the enemies of this legislation succeed in riddling it to pieces, or in amending it beyond recognition, they will have contributed more to promote this nation's downfall than any other group since we achieved our independence as a nation.

"The flag-burners talk about “anger” like it’s a bad thing."

Damn right...we need to get good an pi**ed off about what's being done to our Republic, our freedom, our families...maybe then we'd actually get off our butts and DO SOMETHING!

That should get some sort of clueless article award.

You got that right.

Those clueless authors are asking and answering the wrong question.

The issue is a lot more immediate and important : it's not about surrendering our culture and our fellow Citizens; it's about preserving our historical identity as a Nation, without which discussion of culture is uselessly academic.

Without defended borders, no nation on earth can long exist. What could be more self-evident?

We have let in too many people over the last 50 years. We need to stop all immigration for at least 30 years to assimilate what we have now.

People aren’t angry about immigration.

Speak for yourself.

We should pick and choose small numbers of people who have something to benefit the U.S.A., and let them enter.

Why? To reduce wages?

Ignorance is no excuse for stupidity.

Of course not! No rational informed adult would make that claim.

But it is a succinct and complete explanation : a fatal combination of ignorance and stupidity.
A borderless nation has never existed, and can never exist -- for long.

Who says we are angry? We are upset, to see how Barky and his government of mooslums are ruining our Country by letting heaven knows what or where coming into our Country and then taking away from our Citizens to take care of them when they haven’t earn a penny towards it and never intends to do so...Upset, you ask, why would we be upset that our health benefits are gone to put money in someone’s pocket, or to see our Veterans and Wounded Warriors who fought for our freedoms be treated like a door mat, or to see all of our jobs going to other countries and a stupid H1B Visa bill was passed by our ‘spineless sissies’ in ‘sewer city’ so our people, our Citizens don’t have jobs to feed their families, or have to live with relatives because they can’t make a house payment for their own homes, or take a child to a birthday party for their birthday because they don’t have the time, because they are working 2 and 3 jobs a day, no we aren’t upset, WE ARE DAMN TIRED OF IT AND MIGHTY FED UP WITH THE LOT OF THEM!!! And don’t ask us to re elect any of you ‘spineless sissies’ because we are tired of you lining your pockets and living ‘high on the hog’ while we are sitting in the ‘cesspool’ you created!!!

UPSET??? OH HELL YES WE ARE!!!
