Most Americans as myself that grew up in the sixties that were taught civics were imbued with the theory that the majority prevailed on any issue. Today Americans are preached to by president Bush that we do not have the right to close the border and deceide who is allowed into our country. We are chastised by the President of another country of our treatement of illegal aliens that are in our country. Why as a nation have we sunk to this low?

We have allowed ourselves to become complacent and dumb. Those of us who really love and respect the United States of America have a lot of ************ to do!!!

It's all about the where the next set of votes will come from isn't it? Hell... let the illegals go to the voting polls too even though it is against the law to do so. We may be chastised by a President of another country for the treatment of illegals in our country. But he is being pressured, and chastised right back for his mistreatment of not doing anything for them, except to encourage them to come here illegally since he too was voted into office. He's no better than his previous President the way I see this.
So which is worse? The mistreatment in a country you have no right to be in? Or the mistreatment from your own country? America belongs to All legal Americans. Therefore Americans have every right to stand up and be counted to have the injustices, and mistreatment's that have burdened us for years. Illegals here do not have that right except in the country from with they came from.
Besides... we have a lot of things sticking in the gears at government levels now. If we stay on top of it, and our representatives, we will eventually put plugs in the leaking pipes, and stop the potential flooding.
We're mad as hell, and not taking it anymore.

Like it or not 50% of the population is at or below average intelligence. Nobody with any sense wants these people making important decisions.
In a country where the dumb half are as loud as they are in USA it is a very difficult balancing act.
Those immigrants with the drive and resourcefulness to get into USA illegally will certainly raise the national average IQ.

Civil rights legislation from the sixties turned this country on it's collective ear. Nothing has made much sense since then.
Everything now is about favoring the minorities and slighting the majority. The only hope is that eventually the majority will one day have a voice again.

First of all, Bush never said anything like that.
Second of all, the persident of another country can say what he wants. We don't have to listen.
Third of all, I'm not so sure there is a "majority" on this issue.

Exactly why special interest groups in DC along with ZOG should be kicked out of inside the beltway.

What do you expect of a country that elects it s president based on the electoral college instead of the popular vote?
See: Bush VS Gore

Because common people never have the true power. Only the people on top do! It's always been that way!
