ORIGINAL: EPGAH None of the above apply to your imagined meaning of the word. Just because you want it to mean something does not make it mean that. It is for this reason I question your ability to understand the English language. All of the above apply, with the possible exception of #7--YET! Note that these are pretty much the same comparisons I used to boot...One country invades another, locusts, bad neighbors, a disease, infringing on American rights, etc. As to plunder vs. sweat-of-the-brow, please remember, they're not supposed to work in America, therefore any income they get here is illegal also--oh, wait, they're not even supposed to BE in America, which would semi-automatically preclude WORKING in America! Once again your inability to comprehend the English language rears its ugly head. The fact that they are here illegally I have never disputed. The fact that they work for what they get is my point. They don't have the right to the profits, because they never came in legally! As to why I believe you're in favor of the illegals, you seem to blame corporations and Mexicans are just innocent dupes that "somehow" got caught in the middle Your assessment is absolutely correct in that the corporations are to blame and not the illegal aliens. But to attribute any favor on my part to the illegals is hardly consistent with your understanding of the situation. How are the illegals blameless? They CHOOSE to come over here...American companies, because of NAFTA or other "agreements", have provided them jobs that they don't even have to invade America for! How convenient! ...Plus, you don't seem to believe America's ownership of our southwest quadrant to be valid (We conquered it, THEN paid for it, Wrong once again. We offered thirty million for California. When Mexico refused to sell it we took half of their country and gave them ten million. That is called armed robbery. Actually, it's more like eminent domain...That said, wars have been fought over property-boundaries for millennia, and will most likely continue... THEN paid more for the tiny strip at the SE corner of Arizona to build a railroad), and you are against enforcement that would STICK to illegals? (The current deportation intact scheme seems to be an 80's cartoon, they don't get the "And STAY out!" bit!) What I suggest would create good paying jobs for American citizens,destroy any incentive for illegal aliens to come here and add tons of money to the public coffers with out adding one person to the government payroll. You on the other hand want to employ tons of new government employees to exterminate people who do not look like you. Who said anything about tons of new government employees or extermination? If America is to be the world's Humane Society, let it be so all the way: Neuter the strays and destroy the ones that attack citizens! But it will still be their CHOICE to come to America! I, nor any other American, that I know of, have not held a weapon to the invaders' throats and forced them to come here! Let's assume that a corporation called Zero Evident Nationalism In Their Hubris--ZENITH for short--has moved its operations wholesale down to Mexico, giving up a few thousand American jobs in the process...These jobs magically appear on the MEXICAN side of the border, therefore that many foreigns have no more need to invade America...The opportunities were taken from Americans and handed to the Mexicans, This was done by the people you put into office and corporate amerika, it is called NAFTA. It takes good paying jobs from American citizens and gives them to slaves who we keep on the other side of the boarder. Do you really support this assault on the middle class of America? No, but remember, it gives jobs to foreigns so they won't HAVE to invade America! Yet they do anyways...Isn't that just ungrateful? but they sneer at this, and pass into America anyways. Maybe they just don't "believe" the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo and/or the Gadsen Purchase to be binding and/or to have ever happened...as such, in their minds, America is still at war with Mexico (And two World Wars haven't yet happened...They have over 1½ CENTURIES to catch up on!) I have tried to explain this to you at least a half dozen times but you have your mind made up and refuse to recognize historical fact. Imagine if someone were to invade your house and put their foot on your throat and a gun to your head and tell you to sign your house away. How is that different? Someone HAS tried to invade my house. I requested him at gunpoint to hold still until the police came to pick him up...He kept saying something, but in a non-English language...I made out a few words, due to similarity with French, something about his kids...Perhaps he was only trying to rob me to feed his kids? And if so, doesn't that make him MORE of a threat, not less, since his morality is twisted to support a family he shouldn't've had in the first place? However, the police specifically told me NOT to execute the bastard! Since he's alive, he'll probably break into someone else's house...Or is that the point you're trying to make, that you're only safe as long as you have the technology and the WILL to defend yourself? As to the majority of illegals being single males, that makes no difference to their third-world fertility. Did you also not study biology? Just how is it that single males have a high birth rate? Being single doesn't prevent breeding! The article goes on to say that the MEXICAN age of consent is 15, which they continue to obey here in America (3-6 years UNDER our age-of-consent law...Statutory rape, anyone? ) The age of consent in France is 12. Are you presumptuous enough to make laws for other countries? No; you're missing the point: This isn't France, nor Mexico, the age of consent in the United States of America is 18-21, depending which state you're in! And there's some kind of POSITIVE social status for getting pregnant early and often, combined with no stigma for asking for "help" from America's welfare...But especially telling is the end quote: quote:
Tisha Roberts, a supervisor at an Orange County, California, institution that assists children in foster care, has given up hope that the illegitimacy rate will taper off. “It’s going to continue to grow,” she says, “until we can put birth control in the water.” You two seem to have the same penchant for poisoning people against their will. How do YOU treat an infection? She might've been saying that sarcastically, but it SOUNDS like she had the idea to put birth-control in EVERYONE's water, not just the illegals'? I don't know which your country is, nor do I know why you misspell America as amerika...You have to capitalize the A and it's a C, not K...Are you doing this for humor value? I have explained it a few times but since you fail to comprehend what you read I will try once more. America is the country I wore a uniform and took hostile fire to protect. amerika are those who would make a mockery of that service. Or is that the "undiscovered country" Shakespeare wrote of? America "let" me in because I am the child of two American parents...I guess it comes as a surprise when Americans use the 14th Amendment, rather than illegals' spawn? As to proving my citizenship, I don't know what proof you'll accept... I will accept any form of ID that actually identifies you as an American citizen. Your birth certificate does not do that. Your dependents ID does not do that. Your social security card does not do that. Your drivers license does not do that. So once again how do you prove that you are an American citizen. Ok, I don't know of any ID that CONCLUSIVELY identifies either of us as American...Perhaps another byproduct of the founding fathers' assumptions? Or fear that the Federal Government might get too powerful? "We the People of the United States" would be ENGLISH-speakers, given that the country was founded in large part by English, Which history book denies that the Dutch,French,Spanish and German had no part in the settling of North America? Because the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, Constitution, Bill of Rights, and the rest of the Amendments were NOT written in Dutch, French, Spanish, or German...But I'm glad you brought that up...Mexico is/was a rebellious colony of Spain in almost the same way America is/was a rebellious colony of England and even our founding documents are printed in English...And our National Anthem (BTW, the attempted Spanish translation of it that got everyone upset was REALLY terrible, even worse than the Babelfish translation!) For centuries, Centuries as in all both of them? That I'll give you. America's "only" 231 years old, but we've already got a country that's different enough (Can I say "better" without you getting upset?) from our uncouth neighbors that they WANT to come in, with or without permission. Indeed, one of the excuses the illegals use now is that there's a huge backlog, so they instead skip the queue and get mad 'cause they don't get the respect that those who waited in line get...Oh, and legals get upset because illegals give ALL immigration a bad name, but that's just collateral-damage, right? English has been the de-facto language of the realm; tradition with the force of law Tradition is not law. True, but our LAWS are written in English...Could that be why illegals can't understand them? and all that, right? Besides, specifying "English-speaking white males over the age of consent" would have broken up the prosaic flow of the Preamble... As to confiscating land from people with divided loyalties, America's not the only one to have done that, and they've ex-post-facto discovered that SOME of the Japanese-Americans WERE sending messages to their brethren overseas It would be interested in seeing your proof of this assertion. ...And I think I already covered at least ONE Meixcan-American whose loyalties were to the wrong side, That would be your opinion and nothing more. No, LA Times has record of their Mexican-American mayor joining the huge protesting horde of illegals and their supporters, rather than trying to restore Law&Order! so doesn't it make sense that there'd be others? Say, perhaps a few big "advocacy" groups that teach new invaders how to bilk the system and dodge the annoying laws? Why is it when corporate amerika bilks the system and dodge the annoying laws it is called sharp business sense but when some poor person does it you cry foul? I never said it was ok, but let's punish the little lawbreakers first! The local cops call it the "Broken Windows" theory: Little criminals invite and/or incite big criminals! Plus, it can't be any worse than Mexico confiscating American expatriates' bank-holdings during the Peso Crisis of 1994-1995 (Also called the December Mistake and/or the Tequila Effect--Look it up!) Kinda like bush&co and the savings and loan debacle? Not quite, Mexico did it to save their country, the S&L debacle was for private gain... Speaking of American expatriates' properties being easily confiscatable, try http://www.libertypropertiesmexico.com/index.php?action=page_display&PageID=11 It's a real-estate company, so it is in their best interest to gloss over the idea that Americans "may" lose their land, but even they admit it's in trust, not actually owned...But any of the pages on http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=American+expatriates+property+held+in+trust+Mexico will tell you much the same thing...Including an article by Free Republic that lists a house WITH maid and gardener for $500/month! Some of the other expatriate sites have "warnings" and/or ads that you'll need security (bodyguards, not the cute electronic devices Americans use on OUR side of the border), because Mexico has a higher crime-rate, and they target Americans--Imagine that! I have read your citations and found that they do not say what you purport that they say. What they say is that land is held by American citizens in Mexico in much the same way it is held by American citizens in the U.S. with the exception of land within a certain distance from the boarders of Mexico...that land is held in a different manner but does not allow for confiscation without just compensation. Americans going there aren't allowed to buy outright, and are CERTAINLY not allowed to hold beachfront property, for fear that we might do by economic domination what we didn't do militarily or politically, i.e., annex and upgrade Mexico... That would be cheaper than the slow bleedout that illegals currently inflict, but Mexico might be upset about their "sovereignty", or some-such, right? But they have no qualms about violating America's sovereignty! So what parts have I not covered? So far you have failed to answer a single one of my points...on the other hand you have used this response to litter the page with more of your bigoted vile verbiage. What's vile about it? You keep confusing nationalism with bigotry...and/or who is NOT bigoted against criminals, especially foreign criminals?
