I am just baffled by the Invader Apologists. They don't take jobs Americans won't, they steal whatever they can get. They don't spend the money they make to insure their cars or improve their neighborhoods, they send it back to Mexico. They do not seek to become part of this nation, or even create their own little communities while their children become part of the country. They want to expand Mexico wherever they go. THOSE are the facts. The rest is Spin from people who have either no clue or an agenda. I don't really care which.
Yeah, thats right, every single Mexican that comes over the border drives an uninsured car and is a burglar. Your "facts" are opinion, and its important to distinguish between the two. Matter of fact, 2ndAmendment, I am flat calling you out on that BS. If those are "facts", then document them. And I don't want to see some link that your buddy at
www.conspiracytheory.com wrote, I want to see hard evidence from a reputable, credible source. When you can do that, then you can call it fact. The other thing, you say that "they" don't "...even create their own little communites while their children become part of the country." Well, in fact, "they" do create their own little communities, but because those communities speak spanish and do business in Spanish, we, as Americans look down on them and want them to conform to our particular ways. You want a fact? Its a fact, that as of WWII, Wisconsin published more schoolbooks in German than they did in English. By god, we better kick all them dirty krauts out too! You want to label me an apologist, thats fine. I actually do think that we need to have a reasonable, sensible and most importantly, enforcable immigration policy. I absolutely believe that immigrants make this country stronger, and I would much prefer it if those immigrants came here legally. What I don't agree with, however, is this elitist attitude that we take on the issue. I am not trying to ruffle your feathers, 2ndAmendment, when I say this, but where did your family come from? If your not 100% Native American (of course, now "those" people just get drunk and open casinos), then the truth of the matter is that you don't have any right to be an elitist. I find it funny that we will go to Chinatown(s), Dutch communities and things like that and its all quaint and charming and fun, but we go to the Mexican side of town, and we are aghast. Hell, I go to college with a fair number of Latinos, many of whom are first generation Americans (or, as you would call them, Anchor Babies) and they are struggling just as hard, if not harder, than I am to improve their lives. Frankly, I have to say, if an illegal immigrant has an "anchor baby" that grows up to become a doctor, or a lawyer, or a cop or any of a thousand other things that improve our society, I really don't care. Allright, I have to go to bed now, so that I can wake up in the morning and go out and be an immigration apologist at my liberal college (which I know is the comment running through every person who disagrees head right about now). By the way, to establish my own credibility in the face of that potential arguing point, I am majoring in History, I am a registered Republican, I did volunteer work for the last election, I voted for Bush and I am a disabled Marine Corps Veteran who fought, and was wounded, in both Desert Shield/Storm and Somalia. I am 33 years old, and I have been around the world, have worked at a civil engineering firm, a humane society and for Hewlett Packard. I do not have the life experience that some of you ladies and gentlemen have, nor do I claim or purport to be intellectually superior (or, superior in any way for that matter) to any of you, but especially 2nd Amendment. I only say this to show that I am not some dumb kid who has never been around the block. I feel that since I have been riding on my high horse for two fairly long posts now, it is important to establish my backround so that you can see and get a sense of where I come from. As I said in my last post, I disagree very strongly with some of you, but I support your right to state your opinion. If nothing else, we all have the common ground of loving guns (Someone even said that in an earlier post), and I believe that we can all agree that the ability to express our opinions freely is a right every bit as valuable as the right to own a firearm (or, in my and many of the others on here case, a multitude of firearms). that is all.
