You're always one of the more logical people on here.

To hear you talk about "illegals" the same way they do, as if it's some kind of united group acting on a concerted plan to invade is very, very disappointing.
I am using logic, as the title says "Illegals threaten" well that would be a personal tipping point for me. I don't think they are invaders, I know they want jobs and a future for their kids that they cannot obtain. My heart is with them.

However, violence requires tough decisions and my decision would be to defend the US.

You guys need to stop with that tough guy attitude. It's pathetic, and funny. "Methinks" giving you guys open carry was a horrible idea. Geriatric fools with guns can easily get that gun shoved up their a**.

For old white people to show up at rallies holding guns(Immigration marches, Obama speeches), it's all good, but how's it going to be received when the brown people start attending rallies with guns?

You think we don't own guns too? You don't think there aren't a lot of pro-reform people in Arizona who enjoy the lax gun law too?
The difference? We aren't little weaklings hiding behind the police and trying to intimidate with guns.

We show up with our numbers, and march peacefully.
So us white people are all old, fat & weaklings? But you have the nerve to say that we're all full of racism and predjudice? Wow. If foreign nationals attacked on US soil, I would defend my country and my fellow citizens, including Hispanic, Asian, black, white and any other AMERICAN. I would not limit myself to the side of "white" as you do to the side of "brown".

If anything, I imagine with these open carry laws, and how the rabid anti-illegals carry guns to the demonstrations, there will likely be a much different type of incident.

But I don't ever humor the silly fantasy that this issue is simply "illegals vs. Americans".

I agree there is no war between illegals and citizens. It is a major problem that needs delicate handling. I don't condone AZ citizens going around confronting illegals either.

Let's just keep it cool and not start any violence.

I saw a crazy lady screaming in a video.
It's kind of like when someone threw a water bottle, and next thing you know, people are going up and down these forums talking about "recent riots".

I'll defend America too, and if Mexico was invading the US(which the anti-illegals always claim is happening), I would fight the Mexican government.

My family in Mexico have always fought against the Mexican government in the revolution, the Cristero War, etc. I have no problem with that.

But the anti-illegals are always acting like there's this inevitable war is going to go down between "real Americans" and illegals, when it isn't really like that.

Many, many Americans are pro immigration reform.

I just hate this stupid, supposedly oncoming war, and how these people have the nerve, the entitlement, to question us Latinos on our allegiance. "What side would YOU be on?"

I tell them to F off. They think they are higher, and are entitled to question fellow Americans that they see as Latino. I don't humor that.


no offense to you, I just hate to see them derive any pleasure from one of the more consistent people on the forums.

You're right it's not like that. It's actually many illegals who are doing the demanding.

Yeah those questions get on my nerves too, I get asked it at WORK of all places, all the time: "So how do YOU feel about illegal immigration?".

It's not a war, it is a problem. I just tell them to relax and please don't go around asking that question to every Latino you see.

Despite intense efforts by illegal alien organizers and police to keep the angry crowd back, a large Hispanic male in a red sport jersey that reads "Warner 13" tries to push past handlers and another voice screams (garbled) "you can't argue with a pu**to!"

Truthfully I don't believe illegals want any part of a war, they just want money and hope for their kids. This is one giant clusterfk.

Of course only the hotheads will make it on Youtube.
