Freeper: "I'm Loosing (sic) Respect For Our President..."

[K8-EEE]

Immigration is THE wedge issue in the GOP and seemingly the ONLY thing that makes the freepers realize that BushCo benefits CEOs and not them.

Check it out.

We should send the damn vigilantes to corporatate headquarters, not to the borders. Bust the scamming millionaires who depend on and encourage under the table salaries so they can pocket more millions themselves.

Fight the real enemy!

"W works for the people who bribe, er, pay for the reelection campaigns of GOP candidates."

Think maybe there finding out just how corrupt the Bush Administration is.

7. NPR had a segment where Huckaby (Arkansas) objected to a

raid by the government on one of the many chicken processing plants for illegal immigrant employees. (If you keep an eye on the newspapers for those areas, you'll see that chicken plants appear to specialize in hiring illegal aliens.)

He said response coming in from residents of Arkansas was about "1000 to 1" but that he knew he was doing the right thing and would keep on doing it.

8. As a Californian, Immigration is a tough one

I mean, there is all this rich Hispanic influence everywhere in California, and I love it. My highschool was mostly Mexican-American, along with a lot of the neighborhoods I grew up in as a kid. I dig that there are parts of my town where all the signs and advertisements are in Spanish. I think that rocks.
But I'm bothered by over-population. It's starting to get really crowded, and the truth is, regardless of nationality, race, background, whatever, there's getting to be too many people, and no one ever addresses the issue.
What I would hope for would be that Hispanics coming into California and the other border states, would continue to spread throughout America, particularly Red states.
1) because nothing would give me more satisfaction than seeing the agitation of all the racist white assholes down there as their state is invaded by millions of brown people.
2) because I think there are a lot of potential Dem votes among these Hispanics if we can make clear the connection between the Repubs and the corrupt corporate influences that have traditionally fucked up their homelands.

11. Years ago there was

a bumper sticker that read: "Welcome to California. Now go home." It wasn't aimed at immigrants particulary. It referred to just about everyone. I think about that sometimes when I am stuck on the parking lot of a freeway at 1pm in the afternoon for no apparant reason other.

People want to live here. However, it is getting prohibitively expensive. A small 2 bedroom 1 bath house can easily sell for over $600,000. I don't know anyone can afford that as a starter home.

We have a lot of multi generation Asian families buying homes around here.

I do believe white people make up less than 50% of the population in CA now.

17. We have plenty of Mexican and other Latino

immigrants in the red state of Georgia. Also Filipinos, Chinese, Indians, some Japanese, people from Eastern Europe and various "'stans." Sorry to disappoint you but I haven't seen any "agitation among the racist white assholes."

21. I'm in Central Alabama.....

We have quite a few Hispanics and Vietnamese. Just sayin'

Hey, TXBSAFH, it's your side that wants to disembowel employee rights by crushing the Labor Movement. If you had two brain cells to rub together you'd figure out that your Republican leaders despise you.

10. a lost freeper probably isn't a gained democrat

but. . .
If it is corporate thievery that drives them off then Libertarian can't work because they are against regulations that prevent it. If it is the war in Iraq then they could go Libertarian because they tend to be isolationists with a few notable exceptions (Boortz is probably pro-invasion).

12. I'm in shock after reading several of their posts

Are they actually standing up for their beliefs instead of blindly repeating talking points???!!!???? I hate BushCo. but this thread does give me a little bit of hope that our fellow citizens that consider themselves "conservatives" may be waking up from their zombie like state. If Freepers are waking up to the middle class assault by BushCo. Moderates and Independents must be. Dem's have got to take congress in '06 so we can start the impeachment proceedings. Without the Bushbots in congress to overlook and even defend the POTUS, the truth has got to come out about the PNAC agenda, the deception, the propaganda, etc.

19. The problem is, what if the freepers find a REAL conservative

Imagine this situation:

1) A party that "benefits" the working class and makes the trains run on time.

2) Persecutes, scapegoats and "eliminates" minorities and "un-desirables" in the process.

Bush isn't conservative enough for them.

In other words, the freeper "Dream Team."

A GOP in their own image.

13. The scary thing is... I agree with them to a certain extent.

I'm all for legal immigration but to have a wide open border just seems reckless and stupid.

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

Attention people from other countries. You are welcome here, please come. Enjoy this land, make some money, raise a family, enjoy the treasure this place has to offer. But use the fricken door, we have it lit with a lamp just for you. Quit sneaking in the window when I'm not looking. That's all I ask. Here, we are equal and you're going to have to put up with the same shit that I have to put up with; but you'll also have the same protections I have so it sort of balances out.

It's weird that we can have two completely different views but require the same solution. The Republicans don't like them because they're Third Worlders and they're taking away money from jobs they woulnd't do anyway. I want legal immigration because I oppose slave wages and exploitation. This is definitely an opportunity for the Democrat Leadership to play a little politics.

16. I Really Think That Most Mexicans in L.A.

If they had an even semi-fair shake at home, would leave tomorrow. I'm not talking about Mexican-Americans, I'm talking about the ones who came here to work and send money home. They hate it too. There are some towns in Mexico where literally half the population lives in the US and everyone else is just working 2nd income jobs that pay literally almost nothing.

I think if we shut the border off there would be a revolution in Mexico -- the rug would be pulled out under a vast section of the society.

I don't think a revolution would be necessarily a bad thing. When you have 90% of the wealth held by 10% of the people and there's no access to a decent life for the masses, that's inevitable. Of course that's the GOP dream, to have us be that "free" of a market with no power for labor or working class.

14. but DLC donors need cheap labor..

unless we stop illegal immigration, the war against terrorism is only an invitation for attack. Why bother hiring a citizen to work on the house when you could hire three illegal immigrants for the same price?

If neither party gives a damn then why the hell should voters? :grr:

18. Loosing Respect? Why, that's Ludacris!

Gotta love that Freeper creativity when it comes to spelling..
