A Picture's Worth a Thousand Words...

FINAL NOTE:
Racist Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R of California 4th district) of red-neck Orange County said that he didn't care how long people had been in "this country" illegally, if they were here illegally for 5 or 50 years that they should be deported. Fine! Europeans have been here illegally since 1492, START THE DEPORTATIONS NOW! First one to go should be this Nazi Rohrabacher!

Sensenbrenner, Schwarzenegger, Rohrabacher, funny how they all have Germanic names! .....No, it's not funny at all!

Do you want to open up this can of worms here?

" that's a big can "

That picture does say a lot. It tells me that the people that are trying to come to the US don't want to be an American. They just want what America can give them. They can protest all they want. Illegal immigration is just that...illegal, and should be treated as such. How it's dealt with is whole other ball game.

America has always been the place people want to be....from the 1600's up until today. The politicians have let this problem get totally out of control for years and now they want to dump it in our laps. If someone wants to come to America for a better life thats's great, but the price of admission should be a committment to become a tax paying "citizen" and learn the language. I would never suggest someone give up their heritage, home language or traditions. All of us have anscestors who came from other countries..but we are Americans now. I am proud of my Irish heritage and enjoy the culture and history of my family....but I'm an American! If you want to live here and enjoy the privileges of freedom then you have to be willing to pay the price for those privileges. That means you come to our country the right way, not smuggled here in the back of truck....our politicians have outdone themselves again, by simply failing to deal with this problem. They are the ones who should be deported somewhere!

Everyone needs to "work" harder at being an American citzen... and why not, it's the best job in the world!

Carrying signs depicting ANYONE as a NAZI (Besides maybe Adolf himself) is just plain wrong.
Schwartzenegger has a problem on his hands -- his state budget is out of control with the additional expense of non tax-paying illegals who use the hospitals, schools and roads.

Does he deserve this?

I agree that the people who want to come here to enjoy a better life should do just that...but do it legally. There was a story in our local paper about a husband and wife who went through the process to become legal citizens...it took them a year...and thousands of dollars do do it right.

There was a picture of a local protest here...and on the sign it said, "We pay taxes" to which someone said..."Yea, right.Show me your LEGALLY optained SS card and ANY of your tax returns...

We have a really big problem on our hands now...I'm sure with enough pressure from the 'ordinary' citizens...we'll get someting done.

Another interesting quote from a local teacher here was "What do I tell my students in my civics class...when we welcome any people that are fleeing from Cuba with open arms...but people of the same nationality from Mexico are looked at in a totally different way."

Uh oh....what a topic. . Being here in Canada where our borders (and butts?) have been open to seemingly anyone for years, I have a tough time biting my tounge on this topic. . Obviously immigration need to be through legal process....arriving in the trunk of a car isn't like sneaking into the drive-in movie! . Sure we're all originally from 'the old country' etc. but Canadians and Americans still have societies that although more flawed daily, still work. . All personal opinions here but it's like the basic principles these countries operate and were founded on erode with high percentages of immigration in short periods of time. . Seems like immigrants need a generation or two to get with the swing of North American ways....to understand and appreciate them before becoming politcally connected and powerful enough to make changes? . It's like this to me....a family flees a country for need of personal safety and wants to live in a 'free' society. . We offer this yet then when their status is secure, they push to have their old ways become a part of this society....hey, didn't they just say they wanted to get away from this type of world??? . Just last week here in Canada another 'group' won the rights to carry more 'cerimonial swords' around! . This is nuts when the average guy can be charged if his trusty pocket knife has a blade longer than 5 inches??? . I'll stop for now but that's just a drop in the bucket of what's happening here with just the supposed legally landed immigrants. . It may sound somewhat racist but I'm certainly not.....just want to keep as much of the 'real world' for my kids and others who want to appreciate and enjoy what's still left! . Good luck with it all! .

If this image doesn't piss-off everyone here, then nothing
else will (except possibly seeing a Yenko in the crusher).
Did we all miss something about the last several hundred
years of history of this nation?

Two of my wifes brothers live overseas ( after military
service ). One in Germany, and the other in Japan. In
both cases, they could not get citizenship, or gainful
employment in these countries without actively learning the
respective languages of their adopted countries. There you
have it in a nutshell - fellows! As a fellow member here
added, if they want to live here, they must learn "our"
language, not the other way around.

Years ago, I worked as a Manufacturing Engineer for a US
company in the New York area. They employed a large
Portugese workforce spanning multiple genereations. We had
such problems communicating with the workforce that the
management wanted us to learn the Portugese language so we
could "effectively" communicate with them. In a meeting,
it was suggested that we attend language classes ( after
hours ) to facilitate this. In a question and answer
session, I stood up and asked why we were being required
to learn a "foreign" language when multiple generations of
our workforce could only speak broken English at best. I
refused to participate and walked out of the meeting. So
ended my upward mobility in that company.

Yes, the useless politicians have dealt us all a major
problem. They want to continue to get re-elected
and that keeps them pandering to the Latino vote. I'm not
bashing anyone from South America here!

The major problem here is that Political Service is now a
big money making deal. How often do you see or hear of a
politician of modest means? Not often! More

When this country started, leaders like Washington, Jefferson,
Franklin, etc. were asked to hold office in service to
their country. They did it out of reverence for their
country ( ), not to make $$$$$$$.

We need to derail this train now.
