Kick 'em Out

This is rich:

“This is a ridiculous bill,” said Polish immigrant Paulina Cdnok. “I don't understand how it got as far as it did, and they're trying to make this a law -- and then at this point it's a police state.”

Allegedly .5 million protesters (300k by police estimates), many of them immigrants, turned out in Chicago to protest HR 4437, which would make it a crime to hire illegal aliens. And for that Bill, we're a police state? Nonsense.

Rights are critical to America and her heritage. The problem we have in this day and age is that so many are quick to start yammering on about their rights - unfortunately, many of them also overlook the concept that the other side of the rights-coin, is responsibility.

Supporters of the bill before Congress say it beefs up border protection. But thousands of people in Chicago's Latino community call the pending bill a blatant violation of rights.

Rights for convicted criminals! Rights for illegal aliens! What about the rights of taxpaying and legal citizens? Yeah, right.

If you think the Left hasn't already done significant damage to the American culture, I'd disagree. And if we don't start instilling some common sense back into our nation's politics and policies, rights won't really matter. We'll be too busy worrying about our declining quality of life.

I think we're well into that phase all ready.

The LEFT is the PROBLEM? I disagree. I think that
the problem with illegals has been caused by both
left and right.

What has Bush done to halt the flow of illegals?
What did Clinton do to halt the flow? ZIP, NADA,
ZILCH, and NOTHING on both accounts.

BTW, it already is a crime to hire illegals. I just
wish the I-9 forms would include a stiff prison
sentence for those who don't use them, and skirt
the law.

just my 2 cents,

There are several culprits, and I enumerated most of them here:

I've seen DU and DK threads with around half of the comments against illegal immigration, peppered with the usual nonsense from the far-lefties. And, there are many "conservatives" quite willing to put money and/or partisanship and/or fealty to the Bushes ahead of their country.

That said, the easiest way to do something about illegal immigration would be to discredit those reporters and sources that support illegal immigration.

From the Article:

Pulido said, “I don’t care if there’s three million people out there, if they are illegal they do not have a voice in America.”

Someone should remind this guy that in a country where the dollar is king, 3 million people who work and have families will always have a voice.

How did the left get in this? Bush has not done squat about the illegal immigrant issue.

"The line between the sublime and the ridiculous is often a tenuous one"

Old Spanish saying.

I know that we live in a "hypersensitive" "Politically Correct" society, nevertheless I was mildly surprised to find that now it seem that anyone who happens to even use a "hyperbole" such as that "illegal Mexican immigrants are overruning us like roaches," or like a "swarm of locust" trying to illustrate the fact that we are being literally flooded by a wave of humanity pouring over our southern border (another hyperbole. I hope Poseidon, the Greek God of the Sea doesn't find that offensive!), and for the most part consisting of Mexicans, has been deemed by some "commentators" on the web as "dehumanizing"!!!

In their view such "hyperbole" are the first step in
"eradicating" the "target community" claiming that "once the target community is dehumanized, the issue of their legal rights recedes into the background while an extermination narrative encompasses the foreground."

As an example a Japanese Minister's use of a similar expression was sited, in which he used the phrase
"cockroach-like Asians," to express his dismay at Japan been overrun by low-skilled laborers from Southeast Asia, and then, the much casually flung now-a-days,
allusions to "Nazism" were brought to bear, stating that
"in the late 1930s, the NAZIs used a similar phrase and orchestrated an even more macabre solution to the presence of unwanted elements amidst their society."!!!

So now, even calling a "spade" a "spade" is an act of "dehumanization," and anyone who is concerned on the impact of this veritable flood of humanity on our wages, our housing, our public services, and the ensuing deterioration of our quality of life, and wishes to stop the chaos at our southern border, is a "Nazi"?!?!

Being that the case, I would have to say that I do wish illegal Mexican immigrants would be rounded up, packed in buses, and promptly sent to a "Concentration Camp" with 700 miles of "barbed wire fences" on its north side: Back to Mexico!!!

"Sieg Heil La Cucaracha"!

Pfff!!!!

Althor :p

"Tens of thousands of immigrants, many carrying U.S. flags, marched into".................yes, but were they legal???
