I am the son of a LEGAL immigrant. My mother always wanted to come to the U.S. She followed our laws and became a citizen before she married a dashing young USMC Lt.
Legal immigration is OK. It brings many benefits. We routinely "brain-drain" other countries by bringing in medical doctors, engineers and scientists. Their loss, our gain.
Luis is a good FReeper of long standing, and he is not in favor of law breaking.
Enough of my speech. I now return you to this thread, which is already in progress.
Just did a quick Google lookin' for a pic of him.
Here's an interesting one of him and guess who?

lol!
You've got it. :)
I agree with much of what you say.....the problem of massive amounts of illegals flooding in here threatens the very fabric of this country if left un-checked and that's a fact that shared by a majority of people on this forum and across the country. That said, I'm a big proponent of anyone who comes here under the proper circumstances...heck I'll help them move in next door if need be because I know they're here to help pull the train and are not going to be latching on to the welfare system.
Basically, my point is if one says their against illegal immigration then be prepared to discuss and accept certain realities of the situation.......just not pick and choose or totally dismiss some unpleasant aspects concerning the issue.....I just don't think you can expect to have it both ways and have any credibility.
OOOHHH!!!!!!
LOL!!
check your pings....there is some nut...well I will let you read it!!
That is a plain fact. I think you will find that Luis also agrees, but I cannot speak for anyone but myself. I agree. The invasion of our country will destroy it if it is allowed to go on.
Terri who?
The good news is that even though there are a lot of people with radical positions both left and right, they aren't usually in the majority or in a position to make decisions.

My feelings on the Schiavo case have been stated in a thread based upon an editorial from a Florida paper, which I posted. It was in praise of the nine Conservative Florida Republican Legislators who did not join the rest of the party in trying to change the law to intervene in the case. In that thread, I voiced my personal contempt for the antics of so-called "Conservatives," in Washington. I believe that Conservatives and Republicans have a new Albatross around our necks as a result of what went on in Congress over the March 18 - 20th weekend. But I will hold off really addressing the whole question in detail for a few weeks, so that emotions may calm down, and reasonable discourse may be possible.
But again, thank you for the kind words.

Nope. You said it all.
Farewell from Free Republic.
Sure, we're both stating what's patently obvious but I still stand by the fact that in order to begin to solve this mess more people need to understand the hard, harsh REALITIES of what's occurring right under noses amid all the fluff and nonsense generated by the MSM using the MJ, Scott Peterson, Martha et al to keep us all routinely distracted. Truth be known this whole illegal immigration mess is just a conditioning tactic to force us to accept the new FTAA style of governance soon to be shoved down our throats by the usual suspects.
(Philly razz.)
Please give Luis a break. He does not deserve your anger. He is a good American.
The only reason for watching that atrocious film, "O Brother Where Art Thou", is for the soundtrack, in my humble opinion.
-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)
hehe!
You must be talkin' about THIS nut?:

together on oil prices. ha!
I pinged it on #22. :)

the guy is a whack job....
I am noticing A LOT of lurking trolls that signed up in January and Februrary.....
" I ate in Hell's Kitchen and heard more languages spoken in one place than I've heard in my entire life, and I had a cabbie tell me that the real America was not to be found in papers stored in D.C., the real America was in the immigrant neighborhoods of the Big Apple...and I believe he's right."
I agree. When are you moving your family to Hell's Kitchen??
"The greatest city in the world is an American city filled with immigrants from every corner of the globe."
Why ?? Is it because of the desireability of living in a graffiti-infested,hell hole, with high crime, long welfare lines.etc, or is it something else??
They did have a line about Philly: "You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave."
