CCTAU 3,327 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 As I said before, Let the building begin. Sell tickets for law-abiding Americans to sit on the wall and shoot anybody that tries to cross. Let a few corpses pile up and they'll get the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the time period this little piece covers and the damning drop in illegal immigrant raids towards the end of the period; is it plausible to consider that resources that would have been used to track down these soon-to-be democrat voters prior to the end of 2001 were diverted to tracking terrorists? Sounds logical to me. Seems like the democrats "other" friends, Abu and Ansar, bear most of the responsibility for this. But then again, hating the President is too hip.

Bottomfeeder 244 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The recent enforcement of immigration laws in geared to favor the GOP in the upcoming elections (base rattling). It's political move in response to recent polls favoring enforcement. It's apparent that American's would love to see all of our laws enforced. We must to rid our government of both parties.

Word will soon spread to the others and we'll soon be through with the illegal immigration problem. Bullets cost less than concrete or chain link fence. Unlike you, I don't drop this at the feet of one man simply because my candidate lost the election. The illegal immigrant problem goes back many many many many years. You guys act like Mexicans just started swimming the Rio Grande and crossing the desert after January 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good news, of course, is that since New York City is apparently no longer a terrorist target (based on the Feds' decision to strip of NY's money from the Homeland Security budget) maybe we can use that freed up cash to actually enforce the immigration laws. But I agree with TIS that the immigration problem goes back many years. We don't need new laws to deal with it, however. We need to enforce the ones that have been on the books for most of those years--which means funding INS and other law enforcement agencies at the level required to do the job. As far as the "shoot 'em at the border" theory, maybe we should go one step further and offer bounties on their scalps. ...worked against the Native Americans.

DKW 86 7,426 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 If they knew there wouldnt be any corporate jobs available. They would just go after those non-corporate, under the radar jobs. The contract labor jobs in construction and etc. Dont get me wrong I think that anyone that hires them should be fined out of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From that statement alone, you have proven to be a ring in the nose librul. Go research the whole story and you'll see that new York got stripped of nothing.
