Who said anything about the correct legal term? I don’t give one damn about laws that I believe to be morally wrong. We all get to choose how to use language in the way that we feel best represents our thoughts and feelings. Since I have Zero problem with what they’re doing and wish with all my heart that it was legal, I prefer: People. Human. Migrant.
I guess if I had to be more clear in some case, I don’t mind the term undocumented immigrant. I don’t really like the term alien, especially in this case where the average Mexican almost certainly has deeper ancestral roots in this land than the average Anglo-American.
It is not cheaper if it does not work. They have built lots of tunnels in the past. But, most come over in cars and trucks through the borders. So a wall is just a feelgood ,that wont work.
Want to stop illegal immigration? Go to companies that hire them and severely punish them. They hire people without paperwork, that don’t speak English and pay them below minimum wage. If there are no jobs for them, they wont come here.
Ha. You’re willingness—no, desire—to equate the KKK with those other two groups just shows that you can’t be objective. It’s imbecilic. Both comical and sad.
I wouldn’t go as far to compare the three, but is there a typo in your post? Did you mean to say Minutemen? Because the implication is that you think Christian Identity is a good thing? Or KKK is good and the other two are bad?
One main difference is that the Minutemen haven’t committed any acts of terrorism (some of you may say yet…)
I shouldn’t have included “Christian Identity” in my response by saying “two groups”. It’s too amorphous and there are indeed some in that group just as bad as the KKK. My objection is** jayjay’s** likening the Minutemen with the KKK. The latter group was a bunch of vile, ignorant, white supremacist murderers. The Minutemen are none of those things. They are ordinary Americans volunteering to help our government do a job that is constitutionally mandated. They should receive thanks and commendations, not disrespect. And every one of them would rather spend their time going about their lives rather than sitting watch in a dessert.
:rolleyes: So, with all the Minutemen down there for all these months/years, they’ve not found the chance. Seems like they’re not very good at either finding them or shooting them. If there weren’t enough rolleyes before, you just made each one as valuable as the Hope Diamond. Especially since I just used the last one.
Er… really? Very few borders are secure from smuggling. Many borders are secure from invasion.
Calling the US border “Insecure” is preposterous, grist for hysterics. News flash: the US safe from invasion from the Mexican army. No sovereign nation is immune to smuggling, North Korea included. It’s just that North Korea prefers to export people and import goods to and from China, rather than the opposite.
Kudos to Pete Stark for mocking these crazies. If he wants to make fun of the International Marxist Tendency or the Freedom Club that would be ok with me as well.
Give 'em time. Jason “J.T.” Ready, a big supporter of the National Socialist Movement, “an organization that believes only non-Jewish, white heterosexuals should be American citizens and that everyone who isn’t white should leave the country “peacefully or by force.”” – well his group hasn’t been patrolling the Arizona desert for too long. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gI9VGR-rYGUBVsCKwBH-s8Rv11qAD9H0TLAO3 Personally, I have a problem with that organization.
Somehow, I doubt whether the farm lobby would go along with that plan.
I think we should build a $100 gazillion wall and stock the Rio Grande with piranha and laser-guided sharks. It wouldn’t do squat about illegal immigration, but it would be great for the economy.
