You notice that as well I see..........

But what if I'm opposed to Poles and Serbs also? I'm opposed to the entire CONCEPT of immigration. I'd like to have a wall built around our country--Fortress America. EDIT: *This idea was espoused by Pat Buchanan.*

Do you suppose we would have been hit by terrorists if we'd never allowed them in the country in the first place?

I'm starting to hate the actions of the pro-illegals more than the actions of the illegals themselves.

Let's all be honest here, folks, and admit it. It's nearly impossible to be even MILDLY against illegal immigration without being a racist...the two just seem to go together. I'm also against prostitution....and the MAIN reason is, that deep down inside, in my heart-of-hearts, I REALLY just hate women.

There...(sigh)....now I feel better. Anyone else care to 'unburden themselves'?...

Yup. Whenever there is ANY kind of protest related to illegal immigration, it's always in favor of the immigrants. The rest of us are scared to be seen protesting against the protesters.

And I can understand why........

The pro illegal crowd are throwing their temper tantrums due to many of them being unmasked as de facto Un-American traitors.

Can it be racist when it's applied equally to all illegals, regardless of their background? I'm just as opposed to illegal Poles, and I am Indians or Pakistanis, as I am Chinese, as I am Cubans...I don't care WHERE they come from, as long as they go BACK wherever that is.
