This is one place you and I will have to differ Hack. There's no such thing as an illegal immigrant. Immigrants are here legally. Many of them have been naturalized and have the right to vote.Hacksaw wrote:Now Obama has stooped to encouraging more illegal immigration in order to curry favor with Latinos and improve his odds of being re-elected.

I don't get into semantical arguments like that. "Illegal immigrant" is an accepted term used to describe the people we're talking about. You don't want to call them immigrants and the left doesn't want to call them illegal. We all know what they are. I don't think you and I disagree about the right to have control of our borders, just like every other country in the world does.GBJs wrote:This is one place you and I will have to differ Hack.

An illegal is not an immigrant. They are breaking our laws by being here. They do not deserve any benefits of our tax dollar aside from basic humanitarian medical aid to ensure they are not a health risk, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a carton of milk to ensure they aren't hungry, and a bus ticket under armed guard of our military to the nearest fucking border.
It sure makes a guy wonder, doesn't it? What are we supposed to do? We catch them, return them to the Federal-es and five nano-seconds later they're trying to sneak in again.GBJs wrote:Hack, I was mostly being a smart ass.

It really shouldn't be such a tough call. Secure the borders. Build a wall and patrol it to make sure no one crosses unless they're legally allowed to do so. We'll still have immigration, but we'll know who we're letting in and how many of them there will be. Problem solved. The PC-types have made this seem like a much more complicated problem than it really is.bshirt wrote:It sure makes a guy wonder, doesn't it? What are we supposed to do?

I'm sure the genius liberal crowd here thinks we should just help them get across the border, sign them up for lifetime welfare/food stamps/assisted living/etc. Let them breed like rats in a cage when they're here and watch the entitlement cost soar through the sky....."Oh, what a thing of beauty!!".
It seems to me being PC & hugging trees just doesn't seem to work. It's a tough call.
