What is he saying that is wrong?

You know, 11 million illegals?

Of course we can escort them out.

Just open up immigration to the world, no one is indespensible.

Here's a thought. It's precisely we have cheap labor that they're coming here.

We do buy most of our grapes from Chile now, don't we? Thank you, Cesar Chavez.

Rantburg has an article about a HS in Apache Junction.

3 mexicans raised the mex flag over ours, 3 Americans took it down and burned it.

Once again: bloggers should look behind the stories instead of just parroting them.

For instance, why does the WaPo put this in such, well, psychological terms? People are "angry", Tancredo is "obsessed", etc. What are they trying to say?

Has the WaPo continually offered pro-illegal immigration propaganda, or has their coverage of the issue been fair? (Hint: the former)

Why would the WaPo do that?

Why would a company like First Data (owners of Western Union) oppose Tancredo?

Why would First Data support Tancredo's opponent?

Gee, I don't know, TLB. Probably because First Data (in my backyard, thankyouverymuch!) is making a fair amount of coin off Western Union's remittance business. Which they're (stupidly) trying to spin off.

This applys to you too, TLB: Where are the protestors against illegal immigration? Would you support and promote "non-illegal immigrant picked" produce?

Because Western Union doesn't send telegrams anymore. They make most of their money from wire transfers of cash - like Jose sending money back to Mexico.

We don't burn flags and we don't protest.

But we do make calls and write letters. And vote.

To protest, we really have to be pushed.

We're not there yet. But we're watching.

"...Where are the protestors against illegal immigration?"

Er, working? Whatever protests were in the past, now they're pretty much the domain of the paid off, the lazy, or the true-believers (like Aztlan and the other Mexican "nativists" in the latest one).

TLB:
The sycophants on this blog are selling their souls in an effort to shore up the miserable campaign of that sick, old man, John McCain. If McCain is for something, they are too no matter how it conflicts with morality, common sense, or what is right and wrong.

They prove it again here by kneeling at the altar of the Leftist rag WaPo and their hit piece on Tancredo. If they would only get off this obsessive behavior, they'd be making some good points elsewhere. I used to come here so often that I put them on my blogroll. I am rethinking that decision now.

All I hear is the banging of the drums for a doomed campaign of a 72 year old man whose two best friends seem to be Russell Feingold and Ted "the swimmer" Kennedy. Sad.

Michael:

Please stop thinking and just remove us. You aren't welcome here.

TLB:

Because obsessing over brown people is psychologically disordered.

Knowing I am not welcome here says a lot about you and is all I need to know not to come back. Adios, OJ and the McCain mantra - enjoy oblivion.

Michael:

We're all McCain sycophants? You sure you spend a lot of time around here?

There's only one McCain supporter on this blog. The rest of us just roll our eyes heavenward.

I am sure that many commenters here are against illegal immigration, but favor legal immigration. I am one of those.

It is dishonest of the Wapo, AND OJ, to DROP the adjective "illegal" and argue and pretend that we oppose ALL immigration and ALL immigrants.

Dropping the adjective reflects either viciousness, laziness or general lack of brainpower capable of granting that others have graduated positions. It's a disappointment when people who know demonization when they see it, and oppose it when they see it, INDULGE IN IT THEMSELVES.
