Now what is wrong with that Mr. Navarretee, unless you are advocating the take over the USA by Mexico. If you are not legally in a country, it is more than rude to protest and demand "rights", especially when you are demanding preferential treatment for criminal Hispanics over law abiding legal immigrants of all races. And the illegal aliens who peed on the USA flag during those marches speak volumes. The definition of “natavist” is someone who puts citizens above foreigners.

All you do is ceate another job opportuntity when you lock up a dealer. Either people will have to grow up and not use drugs and start loving themselves and life or it needs to be made available in any quanity anyone would like. It's called natural selection. Either way, the crime goes when the profit does. That speaks more volumes as to why things aren't being done. Good points, except that as long as there is a demand, there will always be a supply.

I can respect a Mexican's desire to support his homeland's soccer team, but if they are really that proud of Mexico, they need to go back home and fix their own country. We have enough problems as it is. Ruben has always been a little disingenuous in his presentation of the immigration debate, as any of you who have read him before undoubtedly knows. He likes to label people that don't like illegal aliens for good reasons as racist. How a well-informed U.S. citizen that sees some of the detrimental effects of illegal immigration on our country (depressed wages, porous borders, etc.) can be called racist for wanting to protect their way of life is beyond me. Sure, they might make light of culture and custom because that is the only exposure they really have to immigrants, but they realize that there are serious dangers involved with having uncontrolled and unlawful immigration. Cultural conscience does not make these issues magcially disappear. The real problem in all of this is the money: as with any issue we face as a nation, you can follow the money to the root of the problem. If businesses did not offer jobs to illegals, they would not come here. Just look at Arizona. A cop had to die there. How many U.S. citizens have to die before we get serious about our borders? It seems as though we have a few too many business owners looking to make a quick buck at the expense of our nation, and not just by shipping labor overseas. Heaven forbid that any of them should be responsible for something equal to or worse than 9/11. As with the war on drugs: don't go after the users; go after the distributors. Make the supply dry up because the demand will always be there. Please remember to vote your conscience this November. You can and will make your voice heard. Esto es para las razistas (y las racistas): si no quieren asimilarse, que se vayan. Si no quieren respetar las leyes de este país, por favor, que se vayan. Que vengan a visitar, que vengan a vivir legalmente, que vengan a trabajar y recibir el pago justo de su labor. No se vendan. Busquen la protección de la residencia o ciudadanía por medios justos y legales, y serán recompensados. Y después, si pueden, ayuden a su país natal, ni importa cual sea. No apoyen la injusticia ni la corrupción, sino ayuden a que leyes justas y líderes buenos guíen a sus países natales a las alturas del éxito. Si, se puede.

The fiat North American Union enterprise is wholly underway without any public yea or nay. Our "glorious government" has secretly effaced all security and sovereignty without our consent!! No wonder Homeland Security blindly ignores horrific crimes against Americans day after day by these so-called "southern neighbors". While FEMA revs up it's para-military exercises and leases public land for secret purposes, we bite and kick against the frightening and mounting escalation of "us vs. them". Whether illegal Mexicans usurping our citizenry or stealthy jihadists floating incognito and waitng for some sort of "go" signal via global media. Wake up America! These are perilous times.

It is a time-honored custom. On Columbus day, lots of people drape themselves in red, white and green. We don't mean it as an act of war, but as respect for a heritage. When taking to the streets for festivities, all understand the spirit of the flag, or flags. But, when taking to the streets in protest, one waves another country's flag, it is an act of obvious insult. That slight does not go unnoticed. To quote the author, "to flaunt allegiance to one country while demanding rights from another," says it all.
