Only in America can you be called a hateful, bigoted racist for expecting the government to enforce the law.

I didn't read anywhere in this article where this gentleman is calling for all immigrants to be sent back home. He is fighting against ILLEGAL ALIENS. Criminals. Maybe if more people were willing to take a stand like this guy, the powers that be would give a crap.

He's a brave astute person. He saw the writing on the wall.

Save our State Supporters Joe Turner

Joe Turner is absolutely right, and I support Save Our State in their efforts. It takes a real man to stand up and speak the truth like he has.

The only argument the OBL has is to cry racism. It's not a racial issue, it's a financial issue.

There is no state that can withstand the invasion of millions of third worlders who bring poverty, ignorance, disease and dependence with them. This is what exists in California, and it must be stopped. Our state is becoming unrecognizable, and we have a right to fiight it.

"This is a person who is a racist," Lozano said. He questions why Turner comes so far for protests. "Why doesn't Joseph Turner just go home."

Why don't the illegal immigrants just go home?

"Why don't the illegal immigrants just go home?"

What I don't get is the waving of Mexican flags. If you're a legal immigrant, you've decided that the United States is a place where you and your family have a better opportunity for a better life. If you're an illegal immigrant, then you've risked life and limb to get out of Mexico and into the United States. Neither case would seem to call for the waving of Mexican flags. Not that I don't think people should be able to wave whatever flag they want; it just seems silly to me.

The illegal immigrants will not go home because they're made to feel entitled to cross our supposedly sovereign border whenever they feel like it by our Federal government, reconquistas, and others (some even on FR) who actually support their criminal actions. Make no mistake about it, support for illegal immigrants is support for criminals.

We are being sold out by big business's desire for cheap labor.

It's the typical liberal argument. When they run out of ideas, they start the name-calling.

"We are being sold out by big business's desire for cheap labor."

And by 'Compassionate Conservatism'.

Compassionate Conservatism = Ignore laws and the economic and national security of the country when you feel sorry for someone.

I believe that most of our legal immigrants are proud to be U.S. citizens - after all, they had to wait a long time and have perseverence to become citizens. They had to take the loyalty oath to the U.S. On the other hand, the illegals have no such loyalty and are only here to take from us. I don't think it's in human nature to respect another that allows you to take advantage of them. They may live here, but they probably plan to return to their home country (or re-create it here!).

Why Mr Mayor, he is home - California.

Or did you mean somewhere else?

[NJ_gent]

"illegals have no such loyalty and are only here to take from us."

I see what you're saying - it's sort of like when a thief breaks into your house at night. He's risking life and limb, too, but he's there to take something and run, and he's not proud about being there. I suppose it takes a real sociopath to be truly proud of doing something wrong.

[Serenissima Venezia]

That's what I was trying to say - the thief analogy is good.

Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!

"I would say eventually we are going to need people like Joe Turner, but I would hope that he could think about his words a little closer," he said.

[Cultural Jihad]

Turner's biggest complaint is that he says too many illegal immigrants in the U.S. could lead to a revolution of sorts, when radical groups try to take back California for Mexico.

Preposterousness defined.

Why don't we call that piece of crap Mayor Lozano, who thinks Joseph Turner, an American, should "go home," but doesn't tell illegals to go home? (626) 813-5201
