Clean, dust free shoes as they enter the country?
Did our forefathers serve in foreign lands to defend the rights of illegals?
Do our servicemen and women fight in Iraq to defend illegals and provide them with protection under the Constitution?
Are the names on the Wall in D.C. chiseled there to commemorate the fight for illegals' rights?
Do the crosses in Arlington stand for the men and women whose sacrifice was for illegals or U.S. citizens?
Did we invade Normandy at great cost to ensure that illegals get amnesty?
Didn't we send troops to Kuwait to push out thousands of illegals who invaded her?
What ideals are our soldiers fighting for today? Is it really to satisfy the hordes of illegals in our country?
“What Old Glory means to illegals”
...free health care, free housing, free food stamps, free guvmit cheese and free laxatives with which to help the cheese’ passage.

...and what lesson do they derive from the words and deeds of the Democrat Party, who miss no opportunity to disparage and defame our President and our policies?
Diiferent issue. The dems are defaming the soldiers more than the president with regards to Iraq, IMO.
Bush has presented himself as more concerned with the Iraq/Iran border than with the U.S. borders. Sovereignty is something to be protected and revered in Iraq under Bush but not U.S. sovereignty.
You got it.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo is the peace treaty, largely dictated by the United States[1] to the interim government of a militarily occupied Mexico, that ended the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). The treaty provided for the Mexican Cession, in which Mexico ceded 1.36 million km² (525,000 square miles) (about 40% of its pre-war territory) to the United States in exchange for US$15 million. The United States also agreed to take over $3.25 million in debts Mexico owed to American citizens.
The spoils of a war Mexico lost.
Ping!
I get pretty tired of those idiots screaming “Learn the history” when they clearly don’t know it themselves.
The few Mexicans that were in what became the present day USA happily changed sides. Those people were basically left as place holders and all but forgotten by Mexico.
As I understand it, American soldiers were welcomed throughout much of what became present day northern Mexico as well. There was no real serious resistance until American soldiers approached Mexico city.
As far as I’m concerned we should have kept the northern half of the country as well.
And after we caputed Mexico city we were nice enough to give BACK Mexico city and the northern HALF of mexico plus we payed good money for the rest.
Dang sure ain't gonna do that next time we conquer mexico!
Here’s one to add to your collection. Scroll down a bit.

caption: I stood DIRECTLY IN FRONT of this guy as he was attempting to burn the U.S. flag. He was surrounded by news reporters and cameramen, BUT the news reports tonight stated “during the march someone attempted to burn a flag, but they were stopped”. There was NO mention which country’s flag was being burnt and by who! AND there were no photos or video of this act although the flag burner was surrounded by cameras flashing and taping him doing it.
The media just will NOT tell the truth! (I have already sent this photo to all my local media)
Please pass this picture around. -—Eileen Garcia - [Photo shot 3.25.07 in Downtown Los Angeles]
