What do you think of the free-for-all at the border?

[BigNBushy]

well, the USA AND... Japan, Germany, France, Great Britain, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Greece, Norway, Finland, S Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, Switzerland..........and like 157 more. There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we’re the greatest country in the world. We’re seventh in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science among middle school students, 49th in life expectancy, 46th in infant mortality, 3rd in median household income, number four in labor force and number four in exports. We lead the world in only five categories. Highest number of annual immigrants, Highest cost of post high school education, Number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real and defense spending, where we spend more than the next 26 countries combined. Twenty-five of whom are allies.

Jeff Daniels says it better, but he gets his facts screwed up.

Seattle won the super bowl this past year. They didn't have the best player, or lead the league in all categories.

You don't have to be number one at everything to be number one.

The natives called us all white men

there's a scene in the movie, billy bathgate. this black dude (is it still the norm to use this term, black dude? i've used it in front of black dudes, but not in a while.) who is some sort of shopkeeper, says to white billy, "you see what happens when i try to do right? they can all go to hell, as far as i'm concerned, all white men together, you tell him that too." i wonder if the different colors speak of themselves the way some others do here, like they're somehow above others? the whole idea of america may be great, but a lot of americans kinda suck...

the idea IS great! it can work. the federal government must be returned to the small, weak entity envisioned by the fathers. Uncle Sam needs to call of his SSWAT teams, stay out of the market, and relinquish his global taser-gun.

Jefferson warned us not to pile up in cities, and we didn't listen. now we pay the price.

Sadly, the native Americans were unable to enforce their immigration laws. You see what happened to them.

let me know when the mexicans start militarizing or committing near genocide here, because only then will your retarded analogy which is lacking in all perspective and historical fact make the least bit of sense.

 

[UncleBuck]

Yea, you're all ra ra because you don't realize it's dangerous to have a president with unchecked authority..

if obama has unchecked authority, then why can he not get passed the laws he wants passed?

woops, you're dumb.

the Mexicans burned the Yacqui out of their homeland, and paid bounties for Apache scalps.............more statism.

no.....not unchecked.
less-checked. less an' less all the time; each new mask. Shillary, Lyndon Banes Johnson IX, will edge us yet closer to subservience.........during her 8 years.

white christian americans did much worse, and yet you have no qualms about settling on the spoils of such.

keep making those predictions, one day they might come true and you might look smart for once.

It's a free-for-all at the border.. I , as an American, am appalled. This will forever change the political landscape of the USA. I haven't heard a peep from the "president" about this, but border agents that aren't afraid to speak out, even though they've been told not to, report it's utter mayhem.

How is it a good idea for a country to take in an additional, estimated, 250,000 poor and uneducated people? There are already millions here. When is enough enough? It's one thing to help a friend in need by putting him up for a few weeks on your couch, but would you let him move in his entire extended family? I guess "no"..

The bought-and-paid-for media will also have most unwitting Americans believe that this is mostly unescorted children fleeing drug violence. BS.. It's not like the cartels were just formed yesterday. Latinos are coached to say this crap. I also have read border patrol reports that they are only capturing 50% of the border crossers. I'll bet anything that the other 50% that get away are likely hardened criminals. Send the kids to the detention centers while the criminals skirt away into the darkness..

I used to date a girl whose father was killed by an illegal alien. The Mexican immigrant was driving drunk on a Saturday night and cut my girlfriend's father in half while he was changing his tire by the side of the road. So he was prosecuted, right? Wrong.. he posted bail and slipped back across the border. Never to be heard of again.

This is just one example of the dangers of having these invaders in our country. Many Americans will die because of this foreign invasion, your social services will be tapped out, you will be told you need to pay higher taxes, you will be surrounded by lawless people that are only here to take advantage.

Why do I say they are here to take advantage? First, they sneak into the country. Second they refuse to assimilate. Many of them don't know a lick of English and don't care to learn. I know people that have been here for five long years and can't even say "hello"... They are coached by left wing radicals and community organizers to skew the vote and max out their social benefits. There are unemployed illegal aliens in my own neighborhood that lead better lives than I do.

In my opinion this is Ofuckers idea of social justice and a plan to remove any remnants of remaining American culture. With this final push of uneducated democratic voters future presidents will have no problem turning the USA into a communist country.

On a personal level I feel for many of these people, but this is a terrible policy or lack of policy. What nation opens it's borders in this manner? These people will need to be supported with public services for much of their lives. Who pays for that? You pay for it, but not by choice, but by force. Go ahead and try not paying what the feds say you owe.. Sooner or later a man with a gun will show up.

My biggest regret is that nobody seems to be able to step up and stop this president. The military, the police, congress? Nobody..

My other regret is that I am labeled a terrorist for having these types of thoughts. I'm not a terrorist. I'm a person that has national pride and wants to preserve our nation, not squander it..That's the difference between me and Obama. He hates this country and has a mission to destroy it..

-2 points for not mentioning "Kenyan" or "Muslim".

 

[Rob Roy]

Better learn Spanish.. Wonder if they are going to lock up all the white people when we are the minority. Wouldn't that be a little justice. I'll be moving..

No, it would be justice if the individuals responsible for any transgressions are held responsible rather than blinding assigning guilt to a person because of their ethnicity.

But seriously, I have probably crossed more borders in the last year than anyone else on this board. My observation: crossing into the US from Mexico is the most secure and bureaucratic waste of time of all those I have seen by far. The country with the most freedom was Costa Rica. They also have more teachers than cops and the one time I ever had to speak to a cop, he apologized. He just wanted to advise that the area of San Jose that I was walking in was perilous.

"Amigo, quieres Pasear? Este calle es peligrosa."

"No, gracias senor."

"Siento que te moleste."

"Pura Vida." And I put my headphones back on.

but Mexicans are BROWN.......lol.
most Muslims are BROWN
I see a motif here.

apology accepted, Bucky.

one day??
its happening now, as you eat your $.89/lb gizzards and wash them down with a can of Hamm's.

A handful of white christian Americans...

funny how you blame us all for taking necessary steps to greatness.

Yet you excuse the failures of black americans, and other non white americans for some reason.

self loathing.

 

[Behind Dark Clouds]

that's hard to reconcile with your labeling of them as "uneducated" "hardened criminals" "invaders" who rely on "social services" who are "unemployed" and coached by "radicals" bent on "destroying" america and turning it into a "communist" nation.

clearly you have nothing against these latinos.

He actually didn't label them all as hardened criminals, but you read into everything so far that your ass starts shitting all over the page.

And to think you'd call me the sock puppet, your a fuckin troll.

 

[Red1966]

They came from somewhere too. Did they ignore the laws when they arrived ?

Face it, the world was never free for anyone except the very first original mom and dad.

There was no one here before what we call native Americans. If there were, there is no record of it.

The infant mortality rate is figured differently from country to county. Some don't count stillborns, some don't even count babies under a certain age, Therefore, that particular statistic isn't accurate.

what about newborns that die in housefires?
