Alex, I applaud you for your pro-American thoughts and assimilation into our beautiful country. You are the kind of immigrant that is a blessing to our country.
As for Dobbs he isn't anti-immigrant he is anti-illegal immigration. Those from south of our border get the most attention because they make up the majority of illegals in this country and for no other reason. He only made one mistake in reporting and that was his leprosy report. He apologized for it but you notice that the pro-illegals have no other story to demonize him with so they keep harping on this one and as if his apology is worthless.
I would like for the pro-illegals in here to back up their claims of racism on Dobb's part with exact statements from him that would prove it. They can't as it never happened! They just hate him because he doesn't share their immigration views and points out to the public the factual negativities of illegal immigration. They don't want the public to know the truth and therefore they hate him and lie about him.
I just got a speeding ticket. Should I ask that I not have to pay the fine because at some possible future date the speed limit on the highway may be upped to be in align with the speed that I was going?
"In a country with a growing Latino electorate that may become the largest ethnic group within a hundred years, it might be wise to start learning Spanish especially if one is in law enforcement and expected to serve a diverse community."
Why? Hispanic-Americans are bi-lingual and so are every other non-caucasian citizen group in this country. We can all communicate in our national language which is English.
Wow, what an assumption that if a cop pulled over a German speaker that he wouldn't have issued him a ticket. Talk about victimhood for Spanish speakers well here it is in black and white. I noticed that Mr. Thailand's valid point about these drivers not being able to read English traffic signs didn't even merit a comeback response. Truth can be painful, can't it?
How does one obtain a driver's license in this country without knowing how to read or speak English anyway?
If the juvenile is in our country illegally then it probably means his/her's parents are also. Solution...deport the whole family together, end of family separation, right?
Michelina, you seem to be able to write pretty well in English but you claim you don't understand what I am saying? Did I say you weren't an American citzen? No, I did not. I just said that I suspect you are of Italian ancestry (based on your last name).
What sh*t am I supposedly stirring? Everything I have said is a fact but as usual you pro-advocates get beaten at your own game so you come back with non-sensical remarks and insults rather than proving the other side wrong.
What a coincidence that there are two females of Italian ancestry in this blog, right? You wouldn't happen to be the same person would you, like the mutiple identity theory that myself and this Liquid Reign are being accused of? I haven't a clue who he is nor does he know me.
Michelina, another one of Italian ancestry? Hmm, interesting or suspect? You either don't get it or you are pretending not to get it or you are not comprehending my posts. I didn't say there was anything wrong with being proud of one's ancestors or heritage. What I said is that a judge is not supposed to allow their personal experiences or gender influence their decision making but go strictly by our laws and Constitution. Did I make it plain enough for you this time?
Apparently whites are not supposed to be proud of their ancestors though because according to some they were all guilty of killing the native indians and therefore their descendants are equally as guilty. Even those who didn't even come here till way after any native indian conflicts are supposed to wear that collective guilt as a race eternally. Those dead I was referring to are those that DID kill the native indians and vice versa. What dead people are you talking about?
I never said forget the past. I just said it was irrelevant in our right to have and enforce our immigration laws today. Your reading comprehension problem is really making me suspicous now. Maybe you should be talking to the one who keeps begging for attention but I intend to ignore till hell freezes over. That reading comprehension problem seems to be contagious.
Phoenix is not on the border and when "border violence" is cited it most likely means the drug cartel related violence.
Michelina, I can't speak for dead people's actions and views and neither can you. Sure there was discrimination back then but what has that to do with today? Our immigration policies and quotas are not discriminanatory today. So why bring up the past? We have over 300 million in this country today so yes, we do have to control our population growth. It might not have been a valid excuse 200 years ago but it certainly is today.
Then you go on to ask why the native indians were slaughtered. Well, the slaughtering was done by them also but it is all irrelevant in 2009 anyway. Those people are all dead now or are you of the opinion that we (meaning white people) should hold some collective guilt over the past for eternity and it nullifies our country's immigration laws and borders today?
Yes, the Constitution was written long ago but it continues to be our national bible so to speak even today. It is what protects Americans, it is what gives us our freedoms still today. Citing past history to make some kind of lame argument against immigration laws is totally unreasonable and is a totally different issue. Today we take in more legal immigrants than any other country and from many different ethnic groups. So where is the discrimination? Do you call limiting the numbers of immigrants each year which is in the best interests of this country, discriminating? No, it is just common sense.
Michelina, come on there were no immigration laws when the first settlers and pilgrims came here. So no, they didn't come illegally. It was a raw and open frontier occupied my those who came across the Bering Strait (they also immigrated to this country). Even they welcomed the newcomers until the newer immigrants became so large in number that it created conflict with those already here. There were no established borders, named countries or governments back then. There were only individual indian reservations sprinkled throughout this continent and what is now the country called the U.S.A. Citing history from hundreds of years ago does not negate the immigration laws of this country or any other country today.
