I've never figured out why American Democrats aren't all for proper immigration control. Don't they see that the whole point of letting in all of these illegals is to drive down the demand for their labour and reverse the achievements of the labour unions? Crush the opportunities of the middle class and you have more easy to control serfs.

Of course you know that will never fly. Democrats are the kings of double standards and hypocricy.

That's right, we're all racists because we're sick of illegals jumping over our borders, smuggling drugs, killing and raping our women, and purposely dropping their anchor babies on US soil just so they don't get deported.

It totally has nothing to do with just wanting a secure country.

It is kind of a gray area here, since "full military" is a lot more common in Mexico than the United States in terms of domestic crime enforcement, and their Navy is actually the most active in high profile drug arrests, which usually happen nowhere near the ocean.

Bimbam, your mainstream Democrat (which is 99.9% of the Democrats on this board) would rather sell off their hard-fought New Deal programs, flush César Chávez down the toilet, and flush all their predecessors down the drain that fought for a minimum wage, child labor laws, 40 hour work week, and decent benefits, than be called a racist or xenophobe. Because, you know, only those nasty unsophisticated Republicans that can't tell the difference between a pinot noir and sangría are racist and xenophobic.

You saved me a post.

Why would I move anywhere with an unemployment rate higher than here? I would consider moving if I had a job though. But it would have to be a good one to make it worth the risk and cost of moving....and then there's the fact I couldn't go to a grocery store and ask where something is or read the labels...I'd have to move somewhere where English is spoken and Americans are not hated....

Honestly, liberal 'progressives' adore preening for the existential camera that makes them feel Holywoodian when crusading for the establishment of a slave-class that will wipe their collective bums for them. Menial labour is for those poor enough to want something better for themselves by breaking immigration laws while supplying cartel dope, subverting economies upon arrival that they think hurts only the rich... I know... I know... but that is how they feel about it, aside from those fuzzy hanging pinatas waiting to be bashed open full of entitlements that will be trickling their way too.

Never forget that with these types you are dealing with the self-proclaimed devout antithesis of who & what they claim are the real enemy. They can't help but be as cravenly crazed as those they oppose in their own minds, their own stances. Has anyone ever recorded that someone ever went up to Narcissus at his reflecting pool to teach fruitful gardening techniques?

We keep hoping they will come to their senses, err grips, and do the same here.

If you understood socialism, marxism and communism you would understand that the ones seeking utopia are progressives and they have been seeking it for thousands of years. They have never found it, because they are searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that doesn't exist. Our next step in this country is totalitarianism. You're gonna love it..
