I've had it.

Well, I guess that's where you and I part company. But then again, I've never been one to sit back and take a beating, either. Those who fight to protect their nation have long kept pacifists from becoming martyrs. When and if we get this invasion staunched, and the whole ugly mess straightened out, you can thank us then.

Check out the New Testament sometime for the rest of the story. It's fascinating how it all ties together.

By the way, I just read your profile, and as an "ex-Army killing machine" and software engineer, your stance on this issue surprises me. Your faith must be incredibly strong, and I congratulate you on that. As a former (not ex) soldier myself, I still feel incredibly inclined top defend my country, despite the fact my shoulders and knee make it impossible to do so in uniform anymore. My oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, didn't end just because my contract with the national government did. Did yours?

I'll fight the good fight, but the battle is already lost. In another few short decades the borders will be obliterated, and the America of the Founders will be dead.

[Mr. Mojo]

D*mn illegals. Who do they think they are, trying to scratch out a better life for their families, taking all the sh*t jobs no self-respecting adult would have?!

No one blames the illegals, they blame the Feds.

[newgeezer]

and the America of the Founders will be dead

Blind optimism.

[BeerSwillr]

Yep, I agree. Business took me to the Raleigh/Durham area earlier this summer. I was completely blown away by the number of people who could not speak english. Seeing lots signage in spanish was also unexpected.

I've gotten accustomed to encountering this in Texas, but man, North Carolina?

It just makes me sick.

[Mr. Mojo]

True enough, most of that America is already dead.

I do not think we should halt imigration.

I haven't seen anyone suggest a halt to immigration. Only a halt to the inflow of ILLEGAL migration.

[ET(end tyranny)]

I'm still waiting for the explanation for when the switch from Hitler to Pharoah occured, as well.

[newgeezer]

No one blames the illegals, they blame the Feds.

"No one"? More of that blind optimism. ;-)

Yeah, so am I, but after my self-addressed post further back in the thread, I'm too embarrassed to push it any further. Thank you for dredging up my shame! I'm just gonna go eat dirt now, thank you very much...lol.

Well I am going to try again. If I should get a reply, don't think I will, I will post it.

I'm amazed that some of 'em have the attitude of "give me the raise first, then I'll learn the additional requirements".

This has amazed me for years.
I've always been told that you have to do the job first before you get the raise.

[Joe Hadenuf]

This has amazed me for years. I've always been told that you have to do the job first before you get the raise.

Oh, you mean like the other thousands of people that want to enter our country legally, by the book, that have to wait years to enter legally? Only to have hundreds of thousands of others spit on our laws and sovereignty and push themselves to the front of the line?

I've always been told that we are a nation of laws, and you have to enter legally before you can expect to live here and get a job and enjoy the benefits of America.

Obviously, this isn't true.

[Just another Joe]

Oh, you mean like the other thousands of people that want to enter our country legally, by the book, that have to wait years to enter legally? Only to have hundreds of thousands of others spit on our laws and sovereignty and push themselves to the front of the line?

That's exactly what I mean.
Line? What line? By the looks of thngs the illegals don't believe there is a line.
And by the looks our government gives them the government doesn't believe there is a line either, other than the one at the voting booth.

[BeerSwillr]

Is there anything else you have to prove that it's the illegal immigration that's preventing your son from obtaining a job?

The fact that they are here is enough for me. They are competing for the jobs that kids on summer break or just out of high school used to fill, and it's affecting not only my son. From reading some of the responses, it's happening in other locations around the country as well. It is only going to get worse unless something is done.

I can only give you anecdotal evidence. Look around and you will see it, or you can go here.
---Servers on the line at Luby's, illegal immigrants.
---Staff at local fast food establishments,illegal immigrants.
---Car wash staff, illegal immigrants.
---Staff at the local flower nursery, illegal immigrants.
---Roofers, illegal immigrants.
---Lawn care, illegal immigrants.

Throughout high school I had these type of jobs. Now the kids can't get them. Granted some kids may not want these type of jobs, but many do.

So, since the illegals are here they have taken what opportunities there may have been.

And not only that but they are weakening our economy by sending a large majority of their earnings back home to Mexico rather than spending it here.

First,

They came for the teenagers jobs....

We can all figure out the rest.
