The legislative history of the Low-Power FM / Microradio movement is interesting and discouraging. One very revealing incident that happened in 2001 was that NPR teamed up with the likes of Clear Channel and the National Association of Broadcasters and successfully lobbied to gut a bill that would have allowed hundreds or even thousands of small-scale, community-based microradio stations to operate legally.

Thank you for posting the link to the transcript, not script. And listening to the audio is helpful too. I'm waiting for the op to come back yet again & explain away both the transcript & audio.

I wasn't sure if your post was indicative of your true feelings or if it was just satire. I'm hoping it's the latter because in a way it was funny.

No, half of illegal aliens don't "break in" from anywhere; they come on legal visas and overstay (http://pewhispanic.org/files/factsheets/19.pdf). And only around half are Mexican.

Yep. Those, too--but they're still illegals as soon as they overstay that Visa.

Either renew your visa or GO HOME.

But then he called the illegals "non US citizens" and the Southwestern part of the US the "disputed territories near the current Mexican border" What does that even mean? Is he suggesting that Arizona, California and Texas are not really US States?

Could this be Obama's plan? To return US land to Mexico so he can continue his campaign of being more than a US President? More of a Global Gandhi?

The Border Patrol is a farce. The last thing the criminals in Washington DC want to do is stop or even slow down illegal immigration. The government works for the corporations and the corporations pay the government to keep people flooding across the border in order to keep real wages falling due to the supply of labor increasing faster than the economy as a whole.

In addition, illegal immigration increases sales which increases corporate profits, and allows the government to increase their tax base which they need to try to postpone the eventual collapse of social security.

The real purpose of the Border Patrol is to run illegal checkpoints to bust US citizens for drugs and confiscate their vehicles to be sold at auction. I have a checkpoint near my house which posts a sign saying they have detained around 400 illegal aliens and performed over 4000 drug busts, now tell me what their real purpose is.

Meanwhile the government has given amnesty to over 60 million illegals along with welfare, food stamps, drivers licenses, free education and every other incentive they can think of to attract them from all around the world.

You could've actually read the thread.

It's been thoroughly shown that the OP's claims about what he heard on the radio are entirely fictional.

But just in case you can't be bothered to actually read the thread, here's the link to the audio and transcript: http://www.npr.org/2014/12/17/371364...aimed-at-women
