Answer 1

HATS OFF TO CHARLIE DANIELS....AT LEAST HE HAS THE COURAGE TO SPEAK HIS MIND!!!



I don't know how everybody else feels about it,
but to me I think Hispanic people in this country,
legally or illegally,made a huge public relations
mistake with their recent demonstrations.

I don't blame anybody in the world for wanting
to come to the United States of America,
as it is a truly wonderful place.

But when the first thing you do when you
set foot on American soil is illegal it is flat out
wrong and I don't care how many lala land left
heads come out of the woodwork and start trying
to give me sensitivity lessons.

I don't need sensitivity lessons, in fact I don't
have any-thing against Mexicans! I just have something
against criminals and anybody who comes into this
country illegally is a criminal and if you don't believe
it try coming into America from a foreign country
without a passport and see how far you get. What disturbs
me about the demonstrations is that it's tanta-mount to saying,
"I am going to come into your country even if it means
breaking your laws and there's nothing you can do about it."

It's an "in your face" action and speaking just for me, I don't
like it one little bit and if there were a half dozen pairs
of gonads in Washington bigger than English peas it
wouldn't be happening.

Where are you, you bunch of lily livered, pantywaist,
forked tongued, sorry excuses for defenders of
The Constitution? Have you been drinking the water
out of the Potomac again?And even if you pass a bill
on immigration it will probably be so pork laden and
watered down that it won't mean anything anyway
Besides, what good is another law going to do when you
won't enforce the ones on the books now?

And what ever happened to the polls, guys? I thought
you folks were the quintessential finger wetters. Well
you sure ain't paying any attention to the polls this time
because somewhere around eighty percent of Americans
want some thing done about this mess, and mess it is
and getting bigger everyday.

This is no longer a problem, it is a dilemma and headed
for being a tragedy. Do you honestly think that what
happened in France with the Muslims can't happen here
when the businesses who hire these people finally run
out of jobs and a few million disillusioned
Hispanics take to the streets?

If you, Mr. President, Congressmen and Senators,
knuckle under on this and refuse to do something
meaningful it means that you care nothing for the
kind of country your children and grand-children will
inherit. But I guess that doesn't matter as long as you
get re-elected. Shame on you. One of the big problems
in America today is that if you have the nerve to say
anything derogatory about any group of people
(except Christians) you are going to be screamed at
by the media and called a racist, a bigot and anything
else they can think of to call you

Well I've been pounded by the media before and I'm
still rockin' and rollin' and when it comes to speaking
the truth I fear not. And the truth is that the gutless,
gonadless, milksop politicians are just about to sell
out the United States of America because they don't
have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to face reality.

And reality is that we would never allow any other group
of people to have 12 million illegal in this country and
turn around and say, "Oh it's ok, ya'll can stay here if you'll
just allow us to slap your wrist."

And I know that some of you who read this column are
saying "Well what's wrong with that?" I'll tell you what's
wrong with it.These people could be from Mars as far
as we know. We don't know who they are, where they
are or what they're up to and the way the Congress is
going we're not going to.

Does this make sense? Labor force you say? We already
subsidize corporate agriculture as it is, must we subsidize
their labor as well? If these people were from Haiti would
we be so fast to turn a blind eye to them or if they were from
Somalia or Afghanistan ? I think not.

All the media shows us are pictures of hard working Hispanics
who have crossed the border just to try to better their life.
They don't show you pictures of the Feds rounding up
members of MS 13, the violent gang who came across
the same way the decent folks did. They don't tell you about
the living conditions of the Mexican illegal some fat cat hired
to pick his crop.

I want to make two predictions.

No. 1: This situation is going to grow and fester until it erupts
in violence on our streets while the wimps in Washington
drag their toes in the dirt and try to figure how many tons of
political hay they can make to the acre.

No 2: Somebody is going to cross that border with some kind
of weapon of mass destruction and set it off in a major American
city after which there will be a backlash such as this country
has never experienced and the Capitol building in Washington
will probably tilt as Congressmen and Senators rush to the
other side of the issue.

I don't know about you but I would love to see just one major
politician stand up and say, "I don't care who I make mad and
I don't care how many votes I lose, this is a desperate situation
and I'm going to lead the fight to get it straightened out."
I don't blame anybody for wanting to come to America , but if
you don't respect our immigration laws why should you respect
any others? And by the way, this is America and our flag has
stars and stripes Please get that other one out of my face.

God Bless America

Answer 2

By illegal immigrants from anywhere.

I think destruction of the middle class should be the primary factor, and that illegal immigration is a huge element of that.

So far, Duncan Hunter looks good, to me.

Answer 3

People who hate get hysterical easily. The major topic in the next Presidential election, according to the neocons, racists, Republicans and droolers, will be what has been their only issue so far . . .Clinton's BJ. AND, they'll hiss like geese about the "Liberal" conspiracy to make everyone think that Bush can't run for President again. Who knows. Maybe Bush will bribe everyone again with $326 tax rebate so that people can go to the MALL!! OR, the BIG issue will be how this never really was the United States at all and that the left-wing media twisted the truth so much that we were fooled into just THINKING this was a democracy. Yeah! That's it. As for the illegal invasion of the droolers into liberal's welfare lines, well, no one's going to care about that because those bread lines will be a neocon figment of imagination, too.

Answer 4

Yes! It is a major topic for 80 percent of Americans.

Answer 5

I do believe it should, but it won't. Neither political party has shown any real interest in properly addressing this issue and both seem to be for amnesty, albeit for different reasons. If you were to ask a majority of Americans what issue is most pressing on their minds immigration would be one of the top 3. However, our political leadership on both sides of the aisle are completely out of touch with what the American people want in this area. Frankly, I just don't expect any positive movement on this issue coming any time soon and when it does come I don't think it is going to please the majority.

Answer 6

They could make it a major topic, but when reality sinks in they wouldn't have the nards to deal with the other "suckling" politicians that don't want to deal with the PROBLEM the way it should be dealt with.

Answer 7

I have NO issue with anyone who wants to come here legally, WORK, PAY TAXES, and generally contribute.
What I have trouble with is people that sneak in, and expect all the benefits of a citizen.. sorry.. you don't DESERVE, social security, medicaid, schooling. health care, drivers license, bank account, or anything else....
We don't see Americans going to mexico and expecting to have rights do we?? If I go to mexico and decide to protest.. bet your booty I would end up in some hell hole jail... and I wouldn't get medical attention, food, and a full free education...
America GROW SOME BALLS, TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY, IT'S OK TO PISS OFF SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T RESPECT US!!!
Close the borders, and protect our own..

Answer 8

It will be a major topic, probably after Iraq/Iran. It will be tied in with Homeland Security and terrorist threats, concerns with our overall security, more so than its affect on social issues. In the case of the next president and Congress, they will come up with a compromise package, probably on the line of Bush's ideas of a "Guest Worker" plan, which should be reasonable and rational for both sides to work with. Blanket amnesty is out of the question, and politically suicidal for both parties.

Answer 9

It won't be an issue come the next presidential election if they don't hurry up, get off their asses and get something done. PPL ARE PISSED MAN.
To Paotis: Wow!!(again). Somebody turn the MAD switch ON in you?LOL!!!!
Lets get the house in order, what do you think?

Answer 10

I'll be interested to see if you get this question removed for some sort of racial infringement. If I said something similar here (England) about Latvians, Indians, whatever - I'd get SOOOOOO banned I'd have to move house.

Answer 11

yes 10 years ago
