@Curmudgeon,
I also agree that shooting the illegal immigrants, providing medical attn, then sending them home would be a bit costly and wasteful.

I agree with the wall, but who's going to guard it? I don't care how tall, deep, or thick you make it, they'll still find ways over here.

Liberals make the Constitution up as it suits them. We should atleast know what it says.

Can you be a little more specific? I know much of my constitution. I quote it from time to time.

They may but not by the millions. Barbed wire is so old school. The isreali wall, they just check it now and then just to see who is stuck in it. If they are alive they through them back.

@Curmudgeon,
and while I realize that a wall isn't going to stop illegal immigration completely, it's very much a step in the right direction.

The only thing that can stop it completely is becoming a closed society. I'm not so against that, but I can't see it being the best thing for the U.S.

Sorry you don't like it but that's the way it is. If you don't like bringing up the past then don't do it.


:wtf: I dont bring up the past.

I on the other hand have no problem with it. First is was bringing up Clinton, now it's bringing up " Prior" Admins, what will it be next?



Nope, my point is it is pointless to say prior admins did not do something and use that as an excuse for the current admin to not do something. They already did nothing about it. The current admin has the problem in their face and is doing nothing about it RIGHT NOW. Which leads me back to the A you gave Bush. I bring up a flaw in Bush and you counter it as some previous President, aka Clinton, done it too. So what? Bush is doing it NOW.

Are we free to speak are minds or are you setting precedent? I am free to point out what I see and what I see is someone who when blame I will not conform to your view on debating your only solution is to edit or ban me.


Wtf? I point out problems I see in your points and you tell me to ban you? Because I disagree with you? No one is stopping you from saying what you want as long as you do it in a decent way. No one is stopping me from getting annoyed at the the blame shifting you do either and me calling you on it.

That's just it. We're talking about children born in the US, and then deported to a foreign country until they are of age (which is unconstitutional). But lets say that somehow it's possible.

These US citizens who grow up to be adults now can enter the US legally just by walking in. They are also allowed to bring their spouses and any children they have with them.

There is no "proper channel".
Yes there is a proper channel. If a US citizen marries a foreigner they have to file paper on the union. Also if they have kids. Now if he find an american to wed that is a different story. An we are not deporting them, we are deporting there parents. I suppose they could give them up for adoption if they wish not to take them but knowing most parents i think they would take them with them.

You have to understand that the rules are differnet when you use the military. Innocent is no longer a civil state in terms of military action. Innocent is defined as someone who isn't engaging a military unit.

Legally are they innocent, of course not. In the eyes of the military though, unless they start shooting first (depending on the RoE, they're innocents).


They are not innocent. You are proposing to spend money on hiring more people to stop illegal immigrants. I am proposing to use the people we are paying to sit on the border and prevent Illegals from entering THE SAME WAY THAT YOUR PRECIOUS BORDER PATROL WOULD.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just deport them, instead of shooting them, praying that they don't die on us, have them recover at the expense of you the taxpayer and then deporting them?


Deport them? How? WE HAVE TO CATCH THEM FIRST SMART GUY.

You must be a liberal.


Wow what an educated response. I'm far from it. I voted for Bush in 2004. :FU1: You must be a sterotypical right wing where if someone disagrees with you they are automatically a liberal. Open your mind Bushbot.

Quote:
The military is not chartered to be policemen. Guess you've never heard of posse comitatus, huh. It makes what you want to do illegal. Maybe instead of pounding away on a computer keyboard, you read a book (maybe American Govenment for Dummies?) first.


Want to attack me some more smartass?



Quote:
I guess you don't have a passport, huh?


Actually I don't :thumbup:




Quote:
From a police matter, I've never said that. When you use the military, it's a whole different matter.


It is a federal law that the Military can back up on the border.

Quote:
Again, American Govenment for Dummies. I think Amazon has it.


I can see a book for you in the working: If They Disagree With You, They Are Liberal - Sean Hannity

Stop attacking my intelligence.

Simple, Tell then if they see any one coming over the border. Stop them from crossing.

And all we need is an OK from congress.


Yet no one seems to have the testacular fortitude in Congress to speak out and call for it to be suspended, why is that?

Could it be because it's an election year?

Yes priors have done nothing but how long has bush been talking about the border and a guest worker program? Long before the dems jumped on the band wagon. He has three more years to "Do something" and if and when it gets done i'm sure it won't be him that "did" it.

The problem is personal opinion.I'm not telling you to ban me. I'm saying i'm not going to stop talking about clinton or whoever?

No, but IMO you are the one making it an issue. No one is stopping me but some are trying. I think I have always remained decent even in the heat of debate. I know i annoy, some see it a shifting blame. I can live with it.

I know the dems reason, they need the votes. The repugs? Becasue they probably think the dems may get the votes?

So what? They talk about it? Goodie. He has had 6 years to talk about it and has only 3 years to do something about it now, of which nothing is being done.

Of course not. It's a conspiracy by the media.

I'll just ignore the clinton remarks then and let you shift blame and live in a world where Bush is A+ President and Clinton is a loser.. yet Bush has made many of the same mistkes. :dunno:

Take a look at how it's done in Israel. It's quite effective. IIRC, they've got about 1 person per 10 miles, with response teams scattered about.

With an American war do the people still have a potential of getting thorugh it? Of course, but instead of having 1000 cross a section in a day, I'm sure you would agree that if that number is reduced to say, 5 or 10, the wall would still be considered a success.

Oh I agree. Before you stop the bleeding, you gotta reduce it first.

So where's the line, I'll sign on a wall. Smile

Not just talking, some repugs got a bill through the house, they one that made illegals felons? You know the one that Reid stopped. But i'm sure it's still you opinion that nothing is being done.

Ignore what you like. Let me shift blame you have no control over other then what i specified. I believe what i believe as well as you. If It is your opinion I shift blame then to you it is so. I would still like to know why in this day and age of accountability why it is only Georgeand his admin, who should be held to account. Every body else gets a pass. I find that strainge.

Townhall.com :: Columns :: U.S. workers and taxpayers pay heavy price for illegal immigration by Phyllis Schlafly - Apr 24, 2006

Illegal immigrants in this country are threatening a massive boycott on May 1, purportedly to demonstrate they are so essential that the U.S. economy would shut down without their labor. On the contrary, such a boycott will expose the lie expressed by President George W. Bush in Cancun, Mexico, that they are "doing work that Americans will not do."

According to the Pew Hispanic Center, illegal immigrants make up less than 5 percent of the U.S. labor force. If every one of the 20 million illegal aliens in our country plays hooky from his job on May 1, the overwhelming majority of those same types of jobs will be worked by millions of U.S. citizens.

All over America, U.S. citizens will flip hamburgers in fast-food shops, wash dishes in restaurants, change sheets in hotels, mow lawns, trim shrubs, pick produce, drive taxis, replace roofs on houses, and do all kinds of construction work. Americans are quite willing to work unpleasant, menial, tiresome and risky jobs, but not for Third World wages.

______________

Some interesting numbers for sure.

I think this coming Monday, if you don't have a job you should go to any place that you suspect hires illegals.

This whole "taking the day off" is a crock of ****.

Looks like many showed up for the protests , but it doesn't seem to have made much impression . A lost cause if you ask me . I am encouraged by the comments some media outlets have aired from legal immigrants , saying they are upset that new immigrants might get a quicker route to citizenship than they did .
My Mexican neighbors are almost totally against "wetbacks" .
