[...] Wow! 12 million ILLEGAL aliens in America — they ALL work, they ALL pay taxes (even when they ALL get paid in cash), and they ALL stay out of crime. Amazing. Some journalists, even in the heat of passion to make a point, would use a soft term like “most” or “the majority of” to sell the exaggeration better. But not this one. [...]

I grew up in California and have spent a big part of my life in Texas, so I am pretty familiar with Mexican immigrants.

I know one thing: For the past 40 or 50 years no one, Democrat or Republican, has really tried to stop illegal immigration from Mexico.

Congressional Republicans can get all tough and stuff, you know, and threaten to charge Pedro with a felony for being here and charge me with a felony for hiring Pedro to mow my lawn, but when it gets right down to it the power in the Republican Party doesn’t want all that cheap labor deported. No way. It’s all for show. You can’t see that? If you want to buy into it, go ahead.

All I know is Republicans have been persona non grata in California ever since they got everybody fired up and passed Prop 187. It didn’t stop illegal immigration but it sure boosted the re-election efforts of Pete Wilson.

Hey “stop bush”. Quit projecting your bigotry and hate onto other people. There is not one word on this post that is racist.Pointing out democrats that refuse to honor their oath to uphold the laws of our land was clearly the point.Oh and by the way please point out what it is that you claim to be lies and misrepersentations.

The truth of the matter is that the vast majority of immigrants â€“legal and illegalâ€“ are hard working, honest, and just trying to make a better life for themselves and their children. You link to Tancredoâ€™s screed, full of half-truths, clever manipulations of facts and figures, and which ignores one very basic fact: weâ€™re talking about human beings.

Human beings who do not belong in this country.

Or, as El Presidente puts it, in beginning of his speech for the new cartoon, “Our First Mexican President,”…..

“Okay, folks, let’s try this in (heh-heh) English. Look, I know what you’re feeling. You feel the good old USA is being invaded and occupied by a country with a government so rotten, so corrupt and so half-assed that it must dump its own people on us illegally………. Hey, the elite feel your pain. They’re not all globoloco (heh-heh)….”

Stop Bush!

Which part of “Sovereign Nation” don’t you understand?

Funny. Especially since 95% of this post comes from the Chronicle. Just reporting the facts, right.

But where’s the link to Tancredo? Please point it out and share with our audience.

And thanks for your continued readership.

How sad for you.

After reading California Conservative for a while now, I was expecting today’s diatribe, mean-spirited postings, fact-distortions and outright lies and misrepresentations. I thought I’d probably be upset with what I was going to read, but to my surprise, I feel pity.

Pity because history has taught you nothing. Pity because your understanding of the issues is so shallow and dogmatic. Pity because you are without compasion. You all but out-and-out call them dirty, lazy Mexicans.

xenophobia: fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign

Which part of “Compassionate Conservative” don’t you get? Wait, don’t tell me. I think I know.

Outside of my local burrito joint being closed, i think the country got along quite well without illegial immigrants. Although I am jonesing for carne asada; and to keep the economy humming i bought two dvds and two cds.
