Chill out, seriously. Besides, the fed has stopped cutting the interest rate. That means the value of the dollar will go up. I wonder why you guys assume when someone who has opposing views as Un-American, to go as far as questioning ones American nationality. The devalued dollar has caused more and more Europeans to invest in our economy.

There was no "opposing" view involved in your post. Methinks thou doth protest too much.

Brutal? Care to elaborate?

Sometimes the truth is rather painful; nevertheless, it must be told. Is it brutal to support the enforcement of our laws, and the sovereignty of our nation? Is it brutal to want our borders closed, given the events of 9/11? We don’t know who is entering this country, or what diseases they may have. As easily as those seeking employment are able to enter, it’s just as easy for criminals and terrorists. As a U.S. citizen, I can’t fathom how you condone this.

Againn, referring to the questioning of ones nationality, that's brutal. "How can you be American and think that way." And there you go, on a rant about how you can't comprehend the fact that they don't think like you do. The tables are now turned, Methinks thou doth assume too much.

Bottom line; close/lock at least our southern border, eliminate the Anchor baby loophole, make English the official language of the US, and ramp up mass deportations once the 'low hanging fruit' has left due to national employer sanctions laws.

Why not instead of deporting them we fine them. Give them the 10-year rule for breaking out law. After the 10-years have been completed, have people who are above the age of 18 to come back as seasonal workers? If they don't want to abide, deport them. That's a more favorable plan.

No offense, but it's difficult to take you seriously. What you consider to be a "rant" is simple discourse. You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, expect to be debated.

When you "quote" a poster, don't embellish. Your quotes are not my comments. I never said, "How can you be American and think that way?" I said, “As a U.S. citizen, I can’t fathom how you condone this.”
