Thanks, current occupant of the white house.

See now you are just trying to tempt me!

And how many of the little waifs are all you open border people willing to take into your own homes and extend all that you have to make their lives better ?

Since everyone wants open borders, we don't have any need for the NSA or the Border Patrol.  Why track dangerous people when we don't give a rat's ass who we let into the country ?  We can do away with the CIA and the FBI, too.  But why stop there ?  How about all the police, our military ?  Let's declare everyone alive a citizen of the United States and be done with it.  Welfare and food stamps for everyone !  Think of all the money we can save doing away with all the unnecessary government. 

Anarchy !  Anarchy !  Survival of the fittest !

3)  This is not an unreasonable chant.
4)  Why have a machine gun and claim ammunition when there is no intention of using either ? 

Yeah, they're just CHILDREN. Fuck 'em. Machine gun 'em at the border. USA! USA!

1)  easily interchangeable, imo and the scope of this article
2)  The environmental assets need protection from trespassers more than the Border Patrol.  The trespassers do more harm to the American way of life than would the Border Patrol.  The BP must have full unimpeded access to the border they must patrol.  The border needs to be formally fenced, regardless of environmental impact.
3)  This is an unreasonable limit.
4)  No not to me.  Why have a border and claim sovereignty when there is no intention of defending either ? 

 kurtster wrote: 
1) Not environmentalists - environmental regulations
2) The environmental assets have intrinsic value so need to be protected from damage (aka saving the American way of life)
3) So you don't want to place modest limits on law enforcement?  
4) Sounds like an acceptable tradeoff to me 

Environmentalists Are Preventing
the Border Patrol From Doing Their Job

Thank you and I wish you the best as well.

Just to show you that I have not recently taken up the term invader or invasion as you claim, at least 4 years ago, I did use it and have used it many times.  From the first page of this thread ...

Have a nice day, seriously.

To be honest, I believe that you are correct.  It was something about him that pissed me off, as did the mandatory vaccination of children and some other things as well.  I did state that I did not agree with everything he stood for.  He did a lot of pandering as a candidate for POTUS in 2011.  He was never on my list. 

His immigration policy has changed.  For that I am most grateful.  Of all the things I care about in the poly world, the security of our borders and being against illegal immigration has always been and will be my highest priority.  You can scour these boards and find many inconsistencies on many things over the years for various reasons, but not on this one.  You can go back and find my declaration where I said that my ultimate litmus test for political considerations was on our border.  And I drew the comparison to other one issue voters such as those who made abortion their primary issue.  I have taken much heat over it and have had to piss people off on the boards by insisting that people quit making the leap that being anti illegal immigrant does not make one anti immigrant or xenophobic or racist, yada, yada ...  

Our country, sovereignty and rule of law begins at our borders.  Without borders that mean something, nothing else matters.  I have been 100% consistent over the years on this.

Perry has changed his position.  I guess that he figured it out and came up with the right conclusion.  I support that conclusion and am not afraid to say so.  That does not mean I support him on everything, but on this I do.  Feel free to backscroll this and the two other threads on this matter and find any inconsistencies on the matter.  There aren't any.  This matter has been an active concern of mine for over 45 years.  I will die before I yield on this matter.

Did not Rick Perry support Texas version of Dream Act and speak strongly in support of providing in-state tuition to illegal immigrants?

Hey buddy, let me in.  I don't care if the concert is sold out, I drove 2,000 miles in 4 days to get here and see these guys.  I've earned the right to see the show.  I've been a fan my entire life.  I'll just die if I don't see them.  What do you mean I need a ticket ?  Who do you think you are ?  What gives you the right to tell me no ?   Ok, I'll pay for the ticket.  Sorry, the show is sold out, there are no more tickets, you cannot come in.  Oh yeah ?  I'll show you buddy.  I'm going to get some of my friends and there will be so many of us you can't stop us.  We'll show you who is boss around here.  You can take your rules and tickets and shove them ...

.
And then there was the one about the ferry in South Korea.  They just kept letting people on and on and all the cargo.  We'll they sailed off and hit some rough weather.  It sank because it was overloaded and capsized.  There were few survivors.  Most of the dead were school children on a field trip who had made plans and bought tickets long in advance.

Well, in some of those relevant countries they might still be hiding/running away from right-wing death squads/militias and/or coup leaders that were generously funded with your tax dollars (or see your personal hero's big ol' Iran-Contra Adventure's creative use of accounting). Although the projection of power there has become somewhat less potent in recent decades.

And while (personal and fiscal) responsibility is always held up as a great virtue (especially right of the aisle), it's somehow different when things get broken somewhere else and the consequences happen to end up right on your doorstep (a.k.a. blowback), as opposed to just staying a great faraway place for investment (bomb, rebuild, arm, ad infinitum).

Finally, if you keep the shining city on the hill's propaganda engines running long enough, some are bound to believe the stuff they churn out...

The Dream Act promise of Amnesty is the magnet that draws people to come here illegally.

Who authored the Dream Act ?

We let a great deal of people into this country legally every year.   To allow illegals the same status of legals is to diminish those who have come here legally and what this country and its Constitution stands for.

And what was up with FDR ?  Did he put Americans first during hard times ?  The horror ... 

And when we look at Obama's numbers there seems to be a definite decline in the number of legal immigrants he is letting in.  Hmmm.

The numbers do not lie ...

Dingy Harry?  Well I guess he just has to follow the great leader Speaker Boehner's example. Name calling is, unfortunately, one of your typical cheap shots. That trait devalues your commentary.
An invasion of children?  Guess we better man the borders!

Get a f'n clue. Your bile is riling me. Your cherry picking of facts, half facts, and perverted implicity, and innuendo is baffling.  If the BP was truly under any kind of threat, much less .50 caliber fire, there would be an "in kind" response.  And that would have nothing to do w/Obama.

What is the Texas National Guard going to do? Shoot kids? That move is all about Perry for Prez politics.  The border is porous (so is it with Canada), always has been. They (nat'l guard) cannot block it.  And if they could, you gonna deny humanity to children? Certainly part of the problem is Mexico. As it is all of the origin countries too, even more. Why do you think parents, who certainly love their children, send them North and on a very perilous journey? Bcs life is better here.  Is it such a bad idea to share it?  See Gov. Duval Patrick's response (of MA, of course).

The kids immediately surrender to the INS/Border Patrol. This is a complex problem. Not solvable by demagoguery, it will require humanity, empathy and generosity, along with political and pragmatic concerns.
You post prolifically.  Too bad your posts don't reflect sound thinking, imo. Baffling, bcs once they did.

And, as always, as is absolutely predictable, you worked in "Obama's fault" in some way.
You have become a troll.  Have you even noticed?
I don't want a response (guarantees I'll get one) bcs you have gone from thinking and provocative to "tea-party speak" and boring.  But your misstatements and mistaken statements, and what you imply as logical conclusions, require a response.

I wish you well personally.  But your vitriol is becoming poisonous. It is not humanitarian, imo.  You are not generous to your fellow humans (children, in this case) on the planet.
Good bye (for about the ninth time).

Glenn Beck and his listeners have raised over $ 2 million to help care for the illegal children that Obama is encouraging to migrate here with the promises of his Dream Act.

What are the good people of the American left doing ?
