As for the individuals we argue about. I did not know any hispanics when I lived in Indianapolis decades ago. Yet a few years ago when I was visiting there I met several whom I am glad to have met. I have no problems with most of them as individuals but taken together we have an actual national crises. One of several such.

Now that I think about it, I have NEVER seen an Hispanic homeless person. Easily 90% of the homeless folks I see are white.

I live in Los Angeles and I can tell you there won’t be. There are so few blacks 5 percent and so many hispanics 50 percent or who knows in california, especially s. california that the blacks will be just overwhelmed by the hispanics.

Almost all the black politicians like Willie Brown, Tom Bradley, Yvonne Burkewaithwaite etc are over the age of 60. There are no younger black activists except for marginal characters like black muslims whose only interest is harassing the few, very few white police officers left after 40 years of affirmative action when they arrest a black.

I work with a lot of blacks who live in the southern suburbs of Los Angeles like Lynwood, Inglewood and S. Los Angeles. Their neighborhoods are going hispanic. But at least the blacks I know don’t feel threatened at all.

“The neighborhood’s mostly hispanic so what” is how they seem to feel. Neighborhoods change about every 2 generations anyway.

The press goes beserk whenever there is conflict. But remember the conflicts usually arise between 2 sets of thugs and hoodlums. So a hispanic gangster shoots a black gangster. It doesn’t mean that normal working people are killing each other.

According to a black lawyer I know, virtually all housing projects and section 8 have been allocated to immigrants for the last 25 years.

That may be why the homeless of Los Angeles are about half black and half white Americans.

California’s gone. Americans should leave.

Reagan’s mistake was to declare amnesty but then it was business as usual, allowing more illegals to cross the border over time, and put us eventually in a worse mess than we were in the 80′s.

Stop the streaming masses and then we can talk about what to do next. But until such time that actually occurs, our immigration policy is being determined by those who are breaking our laws. We can talk all day about what should or should not be done, but until someone puts their finger in the dike, all we’re doing is yammering while the illegal aliens are the only ones actually taking action.

And if the amnesty for illegal aliens bill does not pass the Senate, Lynwood’s hispanic voting bloc will (in a few years) still emerge from the shadows.

I think the problem is the question of how do you actually craft legislation that can change the status quo. The bill thus shelved for now, what is the next step? Are all the Dems gonna drop dead between now and the election, enabling conservatives to sweep Congress and pass tough legislation?

And if Democrats are needed to pass a bill, but each side is offering changes to said bill that the other cannot abide, then what?

Same old?

In my mind this bill was flawed in two areas: namely the fines on businesses not being punitive enough (the jobs being the magnet that draws the people) and all the schemes for temporary workers (Y visas). To the extent we are not hitting businesses hard (for importing workers at both ends of the pay spectrum), then we have mere thumbs in a wall thundering with leaks.

But given how the country is split down the center, I don’t know that anything will change if everyone insists on having everything they want. And if nothing changes even a little, then everything gets worse.

What, indeed, is the next step to actually fixing the problem? I wonder.

Demand that they enforce existing laws (for a change), build the new fence, stop the illegal border crossings, deport the felons, and then and only then, work out a disposition for the illegals already here.

Don’t let the politicians get comfortable again. Feet to the fire, and throw more wood on it.

I think some of the 32% are people who (A) look around and see the economy humming along and no attacks on America in over six years and figure, “OK, decent job,” and (B) those who just refuse to give the pollsters what they’re looking for.

Does anybody wonder why they’re not lower? Who is this 32%?

My guess is that the majority of the 32 are loyal evangelical Christians like myself and they’re loyal to a fault.

Anybody see it differently?

Absolutely 100% right!

The “anchor-baby” idea is one of the most corrosive and abused bad ideas in all of recorded human history.

Get rid of the “anchor baby” and “family reunification,” and heavily FINE those who employ ILLEGALS and the jobs here will dry up…once those illicit jobs dry up, the overwhelming majority of those here illegally will self-deport.

Thanks for the empathy.

When rferencing Steve Sailer, I sonder do you research his validity, or just agree with his racially-absorbed agenda?

I trust many here wouldn’t agree with Sailer’s anti-creationist and anti-ID stance, so one can only suppose it’s his ‘Nationalist’ credentials that get support…

But what about the truth…

After a week at home with their constituents, the Senate architects of a delicate immigration compr…

Even if you don’t know Spanish, watch the shows anyway. You’ll see just the kind of brazen racism depicted on Mexican TV with casual ease– that would never fly on American network television, at least not that blatent.
