I also love how you dicks like to make assumptions about me and put words in my mouth. As long as it all fits into your tidy, small-minded view of the world...

James Joyner asks a question that probably occurred to many regarding yesterday’s events:
The obvious question is Why doesn’t the Border Patrol go round these people up and deport them? It’s their job and it’s certainly easier than trying ...

Maybe you Righties should quit hiring them, moron. I doubt most of them are working for "lefties", are they LJD? They are working for the big money boys that back the Republican Party and you know it. Construction companies, hotel chains, restaurants and on and on.

This is a tough one for the Republicans, LJD. The big money Republicans don't want these people deported. They do want to get fools like you all fired up, though, so you'll go out and vote for the tough-guy Republicans. Then, they'll forget all about it after the election.

As long as you lefties keep making this a racial issue, there will never be a solution. As long as you keep pouring emotion and sensational rhetoric in, we'll never have a rational debate. Interesting that your 'plantation' Democrats want to keep them in the 'subculture' status, rather than integrating them into all of our AMerican culture.

I love the Mexican people and their culture. They have much to add to our country. Immigration should be reformed, to allow them to come to the U.S. and work legally.

They should not be rewarded for violating our border. They should not be placed in a position of priority over those who have waited in line.

It was called "Day Without Immigrants" &mda......

I think we'd find unanimous agreement that people have no problem with legal immigration, but it's the illegal immigration that is the overwhelming concern....

All quiet on the boycott or protest front here in Palm Beach County. There is a reason for that....

The obvious question is Why doesnâ??t the Border Patrol go round these people up and deport them? Itâ??s their job and itâ??s certainly easier than trying to catch them as they slink across a gigantic border in the middle of the night.

If the answer is that we donâ??t have the national stomach to do that, then the protestorsâ?? message is already self-evident but unacknowledged. Indeed, if they manage to do this in a dignified mannerâ??i.e., marching quietly and not under inflammatory banners and foreign flagsâ??this strikes me as the perfect way to get their point across. Rather than â??This land is rightfully ours, anywayâ?? the message should be â??You want us here as much as we want to be here.â??

Two excellent points. Good post!

It sounds like some people would like to discourage immigration by making America just the kind of place that does that

Grow the F up. What part of ILLEGAL immigrant can't you understand?

My commment simply called to the floor the fact that if the jobs dried up, so would the immigration. In your own twisted way, you supported my point.
