RINO twink.

Stopping illegal immigration would pressure home countries to reform because their citezens would have no where to escape to. Mexico might actually beome a decent country if they actually had to deal with their most desperate people.

I’m sorry if any of this sounds harsh, but it’s reality. I had no money when I was young. I hoed weeds in a field one summer and the next summer I worked in a tomatoe cannery to make money.....and I’m as white as a piece of paper. I never thought I was above doing anything to make my way.

A double Amen on that.

[Iron Munro]

If there is racism it is coming from those playing the race card to advance their push for amnesty.

[Girlene]

Exactly....or when you don’t want to even bother making an argument.

Lindsey Graham et al have no principles. Illegals have broken the law to be here. This isn’t about their race. This is about maintaining American values and ideals. If they want to be Americans, there is a legal way to do so.

Any comment by me about Sen. Goober would be removed.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

IMO, there shouldn't be any guest-worker programs, HB-1 visas, green cards, etc. Even legal immigration should have a six-year moratorium to it.

We're a melting pot, but we are boiling over and the water is scalding the sides of the pot and stove. The pot and stove is the U.S. As a melting pot, we're supposed to be simmering, so the herbs and spices can trickle throughout the fruited plains, like a finger that arises from a pie on a ledge that tells the character to come here in a Tex Avery cartoon.

One question for Lindsey, how much time have you spent living on the Mexican Border? Then how would you know how forgiving law breakers affects the lives of those who live on the border? Are we going to continue forgiving them for breaking the law until all of Mexico, and Central America have crossed the border illegally?

Ooops that was more than one question.

Hey Lindsey your partners in crime McCain and Flake have never lived on the border either. The questions apply to them too.

[cripplecreek]

Rick Snyder wants to import 50,000 H1B visa holders to Michigan for jobs they’ll magically create. Meanwhile college students are rightfully asking why they’re going into debt for jobs that won’t be there.

Frankly if we were going to bring in legal immigrants I would rather give the low skilled middle eastern Christians asylum in Detroit. If anyone can make something from nothing, they can.

When an overweight office bound Hispanic activist calls American workers lazy there is a racial angle.

[Tammy8]

As a melting pot the idea was for everyone that immigrated here to become an AMERICA and do it ASAP...this country decided to be a salad bowl instead of a melting pot and everyone that comes here is encouraged to keep their culture. I am all for family history, recipes, etc. but what is happening is people are not just bringing some of their memories and becoming Americans, they are trying to bring their third world country here with them...and succeeding.

[Williams]

That little dickweed is “puzzled” why anyone would resist making millions of illegals into citizens.

[Qbert]

"This Soros Stooge needs to be primaries.."

We told Repubs not to play with fire on this issue, and the leadership didn't want to listen. So we'll just have to exact punishment in the form of taking out Graham, Alexander, Cornyn, McConnell and the rest of those do-nothing's...

[Mark17]

..picturing Lindsie rubbing two sticks together......wonder if one of his clerks whispers in his ear every once in a while is really a RAT plant. Hey Graham, how much did you make on this flub?

I can't believe that POS was in the same Air Force I was in. Disgusting.

[SkyDancer]

Since when is Hispanic considered a race?

[SkyDancer]

[Mark17]

people are not just bringing some of their memories and becoming Americans, they are trying to bring their third world country here with them...and succeeding.

That is a deliberate plan by rats and other anti American scum bags, in order to bring the country down a notch or two, and diminish American influence in the world. Am I cynical or what?

How can the good people of South Carolina re-elect this disgusting little trollop troll?

[jonrick46]

We all know that they have lost the argument when the resort to the race card tactic. However effective that tactic is, we can turn the tables on them. We need to get our own Sharptens to go out and call the Democrats racists. The demonization of the Democrats should be unceasing and loud. If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside. Give them a taste of their own medicine.

Linda will be out of office in 2015.
