Well there goes the economy

I think we should embrace all illegals and encourage more. In fact why don't we just drop the whole US citizen/Illegal Alien thing and have a dang Hootenanny! I mean after all, how dare us lay claim to any chunk of land when we are actually a global citizens of the one united planet. Line starts on the left.

Your actually comparing peoples concerns about the amount of illegals in this country and the inherent ecomomic affects to Hitlers Germany???

Yes, but one has to remember that we had what, 2-3 million illegals in country at that time. He also called for legislation to counter the incentives by applying huge fines to employers that employ illegals. Today the numbers are estimated at somewhere between 10-and 20 million. I guess it didn't work too well.

I have no problem with legal immigration to this country.

So, you don't think Reagan's amnesty actually encouraged illegal immigration? And you don't think his giving only lip service to employer sanctions was a cop-out (for which I blame both parties)?

A tough Sheriff

A racist with open ties to white supremacist groups whose department systematically harrasses brown people in his county.

An over reaching state house member

Is overreaching the way they describe racism now?

Tancredo was a Republican US Congressman and candidate for the 2008 nomination for president.

An unfortunate incident that should not have happened.

Not just one incident and not just one person. Forde was connected intimately with the Minuteman Movement.

I believe I noted that Reagan' actions didn't work out too well.


How would do you want me to respond in regard to your original post, John. If you want to conveniently turn this in to a race thing ( I could see it going there and I was correct, again) for your argument then fine' I just don't want to play along. To point out a handful of sad realities for your argument then fine, I don't wish to play along. It's too easy to divert attention from issues by dropping the race bomb.

I am curious as to what you believe should be done about it. My immediate guess would be, nothing.

(Hmmmm actually that sounds pretty damn good. So long as the rest of the world does the same.)

(Tongue-in-cheek humor tinged with a pinch of seriousness. It's okay when Beck does it. Right?)

Our unemployment rate is a hell of a success.

And, of course, the economic collapse Bush engineered has nothing to do with that. If Obama were any good at all he'd have fixed everything already. Fifty-five weeks in office is more than enough time.

I really, really, really hate it when Republicans try to blame others for their own failures while insisting that the way to fix those problems is to double down on the very things that got us into this mess.
