Pot is an anti-anxiety drug. Safer than alcohol, cheaper than prescription medicines for the same problem.

Can any one tell me why the drug and alcohol companies are in the forefront of the war on drugs? Or is that too hard a question?

And how does this relate to immigration? We are subsidising through our Government Cocaine Price Support and Gang Finance Program the constant testing of our borders. The criminals will be moving people one day and drugs the next.

You want to stop it? Make the people and drugs legal. Because no government is powerful enough to defeat market forces. Evidently the fall of the Soviet Union has left no lasting impression on Americans.

Oh, well.

And once the fence is up? That will leave 3,000 miles of border with no fences. Canada will be next. Followed by an Atlantic Wall. Say. Didn’t the Austrian corporal have one of those too?

Socialism always leads to the same ugly ends.

Republican Socialism. The RIGHT kind. Feh.

American companies do have a way of dealing with oppresive taxation. It is called outsourcing.

So what would the response to the current wave of anti-immigraton do? Well the jobs and taxes that they represent will go to the crooks in Mexican government instead of the crooks in American government. Or perhaps we will be enriching our Chinese enemies.

This may or may not be a net plus.

At one time Republicans claimed to understand economic forces better than the Democrats. I’ve given up on that one.

This program currently espoused will be as effective as the War On Unpatented Drugs.

If this passes it will be another hit on the American economy just as the housing bubble is beginning to burst.

Morality always trumps economy. In the end causing more immorality. Do they still teach alcohol prohibition in schools?

Well nothing stops Republican Socialism when it gets the bit in its teeth. You only need to look at drug prohibition: a price support mechanism for criminals.

This is kind of like unionism and the minimum wage. The government as protector of labor against the free market.

This anti-immigration hysteria is the Smoot Hawley of 2006.

What I would like to see is a program to turn them into Americans faster. Teach them English. Teach the Constitution etc.

BTW I don’t think you can eliminate sin by the rule of law. It has been tried so many times you would think by now it would be as discredited by now. However, like communism this stupid idea hangs on. Religion seemsto make people stupid on this question. BTW Jesus was no fan of eliminating sin by rule of law. You think Christians will ever catch on?

Doubtful.

Bubonic plague, mumps, TB etc….

It’s not global warming.

What does it mean to be a US citizen ?

Second, I am for guest-worker programs. I disagree with U.S. citizens who argue that illegal immigrants “steal our jobs away.” I can tell you that there are so many pathetic U.S. citizens who think that cleaning toilets, picking produce, and flipping burgers are so beneath them; these “jobs” are honorable and honest, and if U.S. citizens are so proud of being American and want to contribute to the economy, then they should accept these jobs no matter how “demeaning” they are. My father is a legal immigrant from the Philippines, a staunch Republican, and at 84, continues to work as a janitor and doesn’t have any intention to retire soon.

Third, let’s finish building that wall at the southern border. I say that good fences make good neighbors. What good is a country without borders or territorial limitations?

The open borders lobby is now out to redefine the English language. On a local L.A. radio station Nativo Lopez, a prominent California legislator stated that the word illegal, as applied to “undocumented migrants”, was a disparaging term on the same level as n***** and k***.

… have drawn such force in the news? Adding another layer of amnesty legislation to laws we don’t already enforce will only result in more “unenforcement.”

We’ve made it easier and better for people to come here illegally than it is for them to come here legally. Perhaps one solution is to figure out a way to make the process of coming here legally a lot smoother.
