If some of those entering illegally are terrorists (and I am sure they are) it will be more than the family dog that will die. Why isn't all of this alarming to you?
It's alarming because I almost entered into the military because of the fervor (that's the word I wanted...not hatred, fervor) of my father. Just blindly look at the war in Iraq and saying how we should invade. To make him proud I almost signed up, but that's not what I wanted to do. I feel that this fervor makes us do stupid things (Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, segregation, walls, invasions, etc.) If you have this gun-ho one sided mentality without looking at everything you will make a mistake.

It just seems that the whole stealing job thing is not looking at the all factors of the economy. I don't want my nation to make policies on fervor, but rather take everything into consideration. My friend in Fallujah would agree.

Why are are you all ganging up on me? What did I do to you? I've been civil. Sorry if my joke went a little far, but this is kinda weird. What handwriting?

First off, I don't want open borders. I want the borders tight. Also what's wrong with just allowing the people to apply? That's not amnesty...

Loosen up. Lifes too short. After my mom died, my dad got all wound up against illegal immigrants. Doctor prescribed benicar. He also suffers from hypertension, diabetes...it's a mess. I just think that while we need to control borders, why do we need to have this really strong 'hatred' (not hatred, because you all seem like decent folk, but something dark about the way you guys write about illegal immigrants) Almost as if they are personally killing your family dog. I don't know...
I witnessed and you were reported, that1guy, in the wee hours of this morn for referencing that several members should take same meds, geez please stop insulting our intelligence.

Mods can close every thread this keeps going on in, of course probably the reason he keeps this type of behavior going.

And with that, I am done

Good lord - which one?

I've counted over ten already. Some have been permanently banned, but others persist. Most I have on ignore.

Yep.

The desperation of the pro illegal side is quite obvious

What a bunch of hypocrites you all are, Aimlessly accusing illegal immagrants as low life criminals who "scurry around when the light turns on" Shame on you is all I can say, I hope the day never comes when any of you have to know what it really feels like to feel the necessaty to leave your homeland. These are not "criminals" these are ordinary people like you and me. Just think, what would it take for you to want to risk your family's life and your own, and go to a foregn country which you dont know. It takes a lot of courage, fear , and bad situations. It is not these immigrants fault that their country is messed up, they are just looking for a better life for their family and themselves.

So what you're saying is:



Yep - we get it. We get it on a daily basis.

What is it lately with all these one-post wonders?

It takes between 2-5 grand to get smuggled into the US. That's a bunch of money for any of these Nations. Once here they acquire false documents, you know theft and fraud to be able to work here. If they don't they are breaking our tax laws by working under the table. They have no issue taking tax money from the US. They line up in the ERs,schools and other social services. That is theft dear poster. These are not victimless crimes. If they could come here and not affect my wallet so be it but they don't.

How about controlling the breeding habits of these Nations? Why have kids when you are having trouble feeding yourself? Is it just easier to come sponge off of US tax payers? I mean, I can better my life by stealing my neighbor's car right?
