  • Short version: If we can detect actual "grasshoppers" (insects, not humans being degraded in some drug-warped version of the actual speech) in grain ships, we should be able to detect humans with a mass 10,000 times that of the bug. Without control of our borders we are the ONLY modern country without sovereignty. End of story.

  • I understand his point and his stance on illegal immigration. Thats not the issue.

    The issue is him calling these PEOPLE -GRASSHOPPERS. SERIOUSLY??? Maybe I shouldn't be surprised he's a rep from the State of Texas. But to label these group of people as animals is over the line.

    Label them what they are if you want - "illegal immigrants" and you can still get your same point accross!

    He wouldn't like it if his daughter was called a bitch even if she was having sex with the basketball team.

  • @wesside818 hes not calling the immigrants grasshoppers hes saying that someone caught grasshoppers from Brazil and this guy and our technology should be able to catch people in cartels because they are bigger than grasshoppers. get it. no where does he say immigrants are like grasshoppers.

  • @sward204  Ok I'll concede. No point in arguing. I misheard his statement

  • @wesside818 cool. if he did call the immigrants grasshoppers you would be right he would be way out of line. so i also agree with your statement in that fact

  • I use to laugh at people who thought the Onion videos were real. Now I understand those people.

  • Rep Poe is one hellava nutcase! Grasshoppers ?? WTF!

  • what the hell is wrong with white people? One day we are spics, then cockroaches, then border niggers, then mud people, then half breeds, Now grasshoppers lol.. make up your demented minds LMAO.

  • Good point by this guy.  Liberals are fanatically dedicated to making it impossible to deport any illegal immigrants or do anything to stop illegal immigration. They are trying to act like it is the Crime of the Century to ask people for ID when we're drowning in this flood of lawbreakers. If it did happen that you were a legitimate Hispanic immigrant, were speaking Spanish, and some cop asked you for ID, due to this crisis, all you would have to do is show them it. Case closed.

  • And you Ted Poe , whats your real nationality, you were grasshopper too and now you dont remember it.

  • ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐

  • somebody fire thiz bitch

  • wtf is wrong with this guys?

  • This is simple! If you want to be accepted by the people of this great Country. Just enter legally! There is a right way and wrong way, the illegal's chose the wrong way and should return to there home countries and start over. I know many people from Mexico who immigrated to Texas legally and are doing a great service to this state. I can tell you this, even they do not like illegal alien's. If you think I am blowing smoke up your rear, just come down to the Valley and ask them!

  • this guy needs an award...............like a special-ed award!

  • He is saying that if you are here "ILLEGALLY" you will be sent back to where you came from to come back another day LEGALLY, and no one will have a problem with that because you will then be paying taxes and contributing to our society instead of being a burden.

  • @atgmam Yes because working some 14 hours a day for minimum wage is SUCH a burden for business owners. Funny because no one does a thing about the illegal Polish, and German immigrants who come here

  • @jaderrockshard nobody does anything about any illegal immigrants. They should all be deported, all races, and their employers should go to prison.

  • @jaderrockshard exactly... this is all racism under the umbrella of "the law"... all of a sudden, everyone is so concerned

  • @jaderrockshard you seem to miss that Persia at one point in time had to conquer those areas also Persia like most empires spreed across the lands. they did this by wars that lasted 10s to 20 years. And im not saying its peacefull im saying its calmer than say in the 1970s. I think we need to take a page out of the civil rights movement it was only 50 years ago not everyone could eat with everyone. so by that standards the middle east is commeing along nicely

  • @jaderrockshard the problem is that everyone wants results right away, it cant happen that way. but hey do you remeber when there was no internet. like 14 years ago. time moves fast and the human race mores even quicker. Give it more time and you will see. O and by the way this is about illegals coming into our country. they should be deported. come to america but come through the door not the window

  • @sward204 Although Persia did have to conquer outside areas like Afghanistan, most of it was unified through culture. Persia did create wars but how we have war now yet there are no bombs in the streets. Persia expanded for many years and those within its borders did not see a glimpse of its wars. The only way peace can prosper is through education and enlightenment. We're are one of the few countries who needed war

  • @atgmam that's what i'm sick of. stupid americans using hiding behind the law. these laws were created by people who came here and kicked everyone out, so what right do you have to complain about people coming here illegally. Fuck the law! Fuck America too! killing people and putting bases in peoples backyards, you have no right to claim anything. what goes around comes around, and america will eventually suffer for the suffering its caused.

  • @KingKarolus222 what suffering has america caused, because if you ask me america has only started one war the war on terror. name another??????????? leave the civil war out of this two because that was us fight us

  • @sward204 @sward204 wow. i could answer that for you, but maybe you should just do some research. and this country has definitely occupied/invaded land and killed civilians in operations that weren't declared wars. that's how uneducated this country is. "what suffering has america caused?".you've got to be kidding me. do some reading and get your head out of your ass. here's a good start. Google "list of American Wars" .read that list, and research each one of those. then talk to me

  • @KingKarolus222 most of the wars that america has been in and i mean all of the wars are started from other countries. The world hates the fact that we here have the freedoms most other countries do not have. the fact that you did not make a valued point just proves me more right. Ever supper power in the world has caused more wars than america. France Spain England Russia. China. may i ask why you hate america. its not like we dont give money to under privilege nations.

  • @KingKarolus222 its not like america doesn't out source our jobs to other nations. So why do you not like america. HMMMMMMMMMM what country are you from? and know whats even funnier do you realize that the middle east is the calmest its been if hundreds if years. o wait america pushes its beliefs on everyone else. when its allowed here to celebrate and practice any religion you want. soo lets here it what do we do thats so fucking bad

  • @sward204 You realize how that Middle East argument is so full of shit right? Every area has had wars in its history of course but the calmest?? Iranian military was killing activists left and right after we bought out their shah, we then divided the country and created iraq who did the same damn thing all while ignoring the pleas for help as if they were lies, and then we did it AGAIN and created kuwait. When these countries try to take back their land, we attack them. Sounds peaceful

  • @jaderrockshard you do realize that they have been at war scene the begin of time. and billions upon billions have died in result of the wars. unlike you i look at the whole history not the past 100 years. And ya in the past 50 years it has calmed down so much why do you thing its suck big new when Russia invades Georgia. 100 years ago no one would of cared because it was happening every day. please take the time and realize that the past 100 years is nothing compared to the millions before it

  • @sward204 Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, most of Saudi Arabia, and other smaller countries like Yemen and more were all part of the Persian Empire. They were together as one or not nations at all much longer than the current "peace" you describe. To say that the current situation is peaceful is ignorant, and I am not calling you ignorant but stating that this is the most peaceful era ever is wrong. America as done plenty good but that does not excuse is trespasses upon other countries and its own people

  • @KingKarolus222 you call me uneducated thats funny when you cant even prove a point. and do me a favor name one country that hasn't occupied another country. or another tribe. bet you cant. you are a fucking moron

  • @sward204 i call you uneducated because you are, obviously. you think people hate us because of our freedoms? i'm sure there are a few extremists, just like there are anywhere else, but, trust me, that's not the general consensus. people hate America because of its arrogance and its imperialism around the world (bullying). but most of all because of how stupid Americans are, believing whatever the TV says, like you, someone who doesn't think for himself

  • @KingKarolus222 you call me uneducated read your fucking post. you are a fucking retard. i was going to be civil but come on you think your actually intelligent thats so funny. Let me guess you got no friends. and you get good grades in high school so you think you know the world now. ive been around the world. Im a fucking history major fucking dumb fuck. you have not made a point and every time you go to make a point in dont you change subject. you are a fucking moron

  • @KingKarolus222 your sense of history is funny, i know where your getting your info from google, read a book. better yet read a history book from Europe I have studied over there.

    you amaze me how stupid you are. all the good that america does over seas. Lets see ya a lot hate the us, But every country hates everyother country just as much. do some traveling. People like you think you know the world when you never left state side

  • @sward204 Iceland. (just to answer your stupid question, and I can name more, but you asked for one) but, you know how i know you're an idiot, because you think i'm a foreigner and hate this country. and thats the thing, i'd hit you with straight up facts, but it would be like teaching someone the alphabet, that's why i ask you to do some research, study a little American history, and then maybe we can talk. but right now you're not at my level of education, and I'm from this country stupid.

  • @sward204 so, keeping in line with your having to use three posts to make no point, i will close off this wasteful debate with one point: the USA has damaged and manipulated third world countries into civil wars and busted economies, bullying nations into working for the agenda of the world bankers, and people like you don't care about others, but if this were happening in your backyard, to your family, you might be concerned. stop being so selfish, care for others that are less fortunate.

  • @KingKarolus222 first of all you claim your more educated than me when you know nothing about me or where i have studied. I guarantee that i am more world renowned than you. i have spent a total of 2 years traveling through Europe

  • again, you have proven your lack of intuitive and analytical skills. 2 years in Europe. let me guess, you did a study abroad program in some major city? now you say youre world renowned? i dont think you know what the word renowned means. in any case, you are wrong. I have spent an incredible amount of time in Europe for a 23 year old from the TriStateArea. More than you, not only Europe (Neth, Eng, Italy, Germ, Pol) but Africa (Morocco, Ghana) and others (Russia, Peru, Mexico, Jamaica)

  • @sward204 and not to study, to play music, hanging out in real towns as well as cities, and let me tell you, people think were fucking arrogant and stupid, theyre not hating us for our freedoms... you see, thats why someone like me can say what I say. I have seen the world, I have talked to people from all over, I have studied a lot (not Google my friend) and I think for myself. There are only a few of me, and unfortunately a lot of you.

  • @KingKarolus222 buddy i back packed through Europe i worked in 6 different towns. i spent a total of three days in London two in . how ever i did spend 6 weeks in Belgium i also spent 8 weeks on the isle of man. so fuck you once again like the rest of the world characterizing Americans from what your news and tv shows. so much petty i have for you

  • @sward204 hey idiot. did you do the research i told you to do? you ready for your homework assignment yet? also, I'm planning a field trip, would your mom sign a permission slip for you?

  • @KingKarolus222 i dont need to do research i did that in college i unlike you went to school you have not made a valued point. in fact you have not said anything intelligent yet. you try to insult but that only proves your ignorance and your stupid. so unlike you where i have read published books Ive listened to great man and woman speak, you get your info off the internet were any nut job and write and make shit it good for your you you fucking tool

  • @sward204 so you stopped learning in college? idiot. i'm a master's graduate, and i still do research, by your standards i'm over-educated. i said plenty of intelligent things asshole, read our whole conversation.

  • @KingKarolus222 so you have a masters in what. you are one amazing person traveling through Europe playing in bands and still having enough money and time to achieve your masters. you are a fucking lair. does it make you fell good living these fact lives. try getting a real one its much better than they made up ones you be fantasizing about

  • @sward204 I know, come to think of it, pretty amazing! got my masters in Music Education, cost me a pretty penny, paid it off in 2yrs solely from money I've made through my musical endeavors. what's the confusion? I graduated school and I'm a musician, started touring during my first year of college, so it took a while to graduate, but I made it. you see, you're the one criticizing my comments on this video, making crazy judgements, when clearly, I know what I'm talking about. it's over. adios

  • @KingKarolus222 fact is your a fucking lier. it does not make you cool for lieing it does not make me or anyone think higher of you. you are a tool. you played in a band that you made enough money to pay for your masters. hmmmmm so you made 20 to 30 thousand. why are you not famous than huh. thats alot of money to have your bands name out there

  • @sward204 moron. not only have you not refuted my original arguments about America's role in destroying third world countries, but you continue to poke around like you have some business doing so. i'm certainly not famous, the kind of music i play does not induce fame, but when your making $1000-1500 a show, spending nothing because you're touring and being put up in hotels, it's easy to save 30,000. do the math, that's 30 shows, and I've done double that in the past two years. peace bitch.

  • @KingKarolus222 for someone in a bad you promote it pretty hard on your channel huh. you are a fucking retard you think your cool cuz you lie on the internet. your not your not proving anything. anyone who has a band promotes it on their channels. you are a fucking retard if you think anyone believes you

  • @KingKarolus222 Why do you lie. why do you fucking lie. please get a real life and stop liar it doesn't make you fucking cool. It actually shows how fucking stupid you are it says you have phd in science but your making tons of money touring. being put up in hotels. o and 1,000 1500 per show per person say you have a 4 piece band thats 4 grand a show if thats so than your band makes around 120 grand a year not including your stays and your free food, you are a fucking bullshitter's.

  • @KingKarolus222 what are you fucking 12 try liing to someone that will fucking believe you everything you say has holes. a band that makes over a 100 grand a year will certainly have a cds out wheres are yours whats your bands name anyways haven't told me yet that would be the first thing a i told someone trying to tell me my band is real???? your a fucking liar get a fucking life bro

  • @sward204 you know what makes this convo extra entertaining? instead of choosing to have an intellectual debate, you choose to attack my credentials. moron, let me straighten you out, if you had a group with it's own page (Youtube, Myspace, FB, etc), would you use the band page to make political comments? No stupid, my opinions don't represent the band, I have my own page for that, and I make up some silly bullshit on my profile for one reason only: ANONYMITY!

  • @sward204 As someone who works in the music industry, it's not wise for me to connect my business with my personal opinions. That's why I have my own life outside of my band. That is a team, but I'm also my own person. Also, I work in several groups, several projects, where'd you get the idea that I'm in one "band"? Idiot, you're just mad that I've travelled more and that I make more money than you. Don't be! I've earned this. When you work really fucking hard at something since your 12, it pays

  • @sward204 so get off your little game. I'm not gonna give you my name or the name of the people I work with. I'm just trying to debate political/philosophical/intell­ectual topics, you want to sweat my personal life, go ahead, I'm not giving you any rope. I brought up my education and my traveling in response to your accusations that I've never left the state. and honestly, the type of music I make, it's sophisticated, you wouldn't know who I was if I told you, you probably listen to radio crap.

  • @sward204 so if you want to come back to square one and respond to my original points about this video, I'm giving you a last chance. Prove to me that you're an intelligent human being. I don't need to prove to you who I am, because I am who I say I am, my life is set, I'm living my dreams, don't think that some YouTube poster is going to irk me enough to have to prove that I'm a musician (and a successful one!). Talk to me about real shit! Come on! I dare you to be intelligent.

  • @sward204 Fact: Since the 60's there are records on the US assistance of overthrowing 50 different foreign governments.

  • what a stupid analogy

  • Calling illegals immigrants isn't very bright. Calling out Brazil is even worse. That can cause political problems hurting thousands of Americans

  • Fuck this shit he should first capture himself cause he is the illegal (pilgram)

    0

  • Grasshoppers don't take our jobs and bleed the system :/

  • Welcome to the great state of Arizona, each and every tagless brown people will be impounded. The great net of the Right-wing will do to you what a normal net would do to a grasshopper.

  • These grasshoppers have to be rounded up and shipped out.

    I don't mind grasshoppers that are here legally, but illegal grasshoppers have no business being here. Ship them out.

  • @MrRedPajamas I am worried about Brazilian grasshoppers taking jobs from hardworking Amerikun beetles

  • how do we really know that all the grasshoppers are really being caught. if we don't see them we can't know they are there. out of sight out of mind

  • hes not comparing grasshopers to illegals

    hes comparing capturing them in terms of their size. If one can capture something as tiny as a grasshoper, they can capture human beings which are larger. thats his argument.

    so the title of video is inaccurate

    perfectly legitimate argument

  • @mak2675 Thank you. God bless.

  • @eugeneonegin09 When you say sell-out, do you mean do I enjoy having my tax dollars that I've worked for, being used to help ILLEGAL immigrants... then no.

    My tax dollars should be used for US Citizens and LEGAL immigrants, people with Student and Work VISA. NOT for people that hop a fence.

  • Compares immigrants to grasshoppers? You're stretching. Is Media Matters just about generating political trash videos?

  • Why is Ted Poe asking such a stupid quesiton. He is a congressman and if he doesn't know why the US government can't catch all the illegal immigrants, then he should resign. Let somebody who knows what to do take his place.

    Idiot.

  • That guy does NOT HAVE A HEART !!!

    the poor Immigrants just want a job.

  • FUCK ALL OF YOU! White Europeans took over this country by force, killing millions of innocent Native Americas, people who respected the land. Now you want to say that somebody of Indian descent (Mexicans) have no right to come to this country. Illegal or not, if anyone deserves to be kicked out, its the Europeans that had to kill to live on this land. Fuck all of you who try to use the law as some kind of justification for keeping people out.

  • @KingKarolus222 Mexicans are of European descent to a large degree too.

  • @Sakkura1 not the ones that are jumping the border. there are a lot of white mexicans in the wealthier parts of mexico city, usually have connection within the US, and can get citizenship a lot easier than a poor native-blood Mexican. and either way, my point is that considering the way this country was founded and built, i don't think anybody has the right to this land. i know a lot of southern whites are gonna hoot and holler at me, but I'm right, this isn't their land either

  • @KingKarolus222 The majority of Mexicans (including lots of poor ones) are Mestizos, and they have substantial European ancestry.

  • @Sakkura1 ok... Europeans come here by force, either rape or enslave the Natives, and that's the birth of the Mestizo. I don't think it was a peaceful integration... either way, it's besides the point. NOBODY has claim to this land. it was taken over by violence. you don't refute that do you?

  • @KingKarolus222 Personally I question the relevance of events of long-gone centuries on what is right in the present, but I certainly don't disagree that most of the Americas were taken over by violent or shady means. Whether Mexicans should be allowed to settle in the US (and under what conditions) is a matter I leave to the democratic institutions of the US, as long as they don't violate human rights or anything of that sort.

  • @KingKarolus222

    your right,,

    but you know there going to ignore that "fact"

  • @KingKarolus222 If white Europeans never took over ameica it would still be a wild untamed impoverished continent, just like Africa. Just look at reservations and their problems unemployment, drugs, gangs white Europeans as well as educated immigrants are the people that make merica the greatest nation on earth, not Native Americans or Mexicans who are the ones that create our problems.

  • @jayati1995 wow dude. you really have a lot to learn. you should really study HIstory and learn about how Africa got to the point its at now, and history of oppression of Native American people and how they were forced into reservations. Both had very sophisticated and intelligent cultures, that also respected nature. Both were ruined and have been influenced by the European empire. to think that Mexicans and Native Americans would be savages without Europe is ridiculous and ignorant.

  • @KingKarolus222 Yeah dude, because this country would be so nice if we didn't come over. Disease was the

  • @KingKarolus222

    Language Language! This the typical liberal SUPREMIST attitude we are all sick of. We don't care if they come to the US. What we care is that we can barely make ends meet but we have to pay to educate their kids, pay for the emergency room visits they make, the police to keep the peace, and for translations into Spanish on everything as they won't bother to learn the language.

  • @MoonKnight2 yeah if the American economy wasn't so fucked up from corruption then we'd be begging for more workers.

  • @KingKarolus222 millions of "innocent" Native Americans weren't killed by the Europeans there was a very few massacres of Indians like at Sand Creek and Wounded Knee and there also massacres of whites by Indians. The Native Americans who lived here were "innocent" by no means, especially the brutal savages of the Aztec, Mayan and Inca empires. Here in N. America, tribes "stole" each others' land all the time.

  • @RuflessRecords you have your facts wrong. europeans wiped them out, through violence and disease. brutal savages??? Aztecs Mayan and Incas were a pretty advanced group of people, i don't know what you're talking about. they were also very spiritually advanced, europe is materialistically advanced, which is better? ok, so Indians stole each other's land, then the Europeans stole their land, so my point is that anyone has the right to steal this land again, I wouldn't complain

  • @KingKarolus222 no, you can't name massacres of Indians totalling 10,000 deaths. The Aztecs were the Nazis of pre-European America, they murdered hundreds of thousands of more innocent people than the Euros did, their rivers of blood flowing off the pyramids from innocent human beings that were sacrificed. In N. America, the Indians were very primitive, less advanced than the 600 BC Greeks...not even an alphabet. We did some things wrong, yes, so did the Indians, incl. before we got here.

  • @KingKarolus222 your point of view is so twisted and couldn't be further from the truth. America is a country now with boarders. when the natives were wiped it became our land all of ours. and no one cares if you come her legally just not illegally because that hurts all the hard working Americans and there rights. where are you from??? might i ask

  • @KingKarolus222 Mexicans aren't indians, infact the current Mexicans or more commonly known as yo neccisito trabajo wiped out most of the Indians.

  • The real shame is that Ted Poe's ancestors weren't "captured" when they crawled onto our golden shores and sent back to the hovels they came from. This is America, GOD DAMN IT, What the hell have we become? We are a nation of immigrants no matter how we got here. Shame on all of the Ted Poe's of this country. It is they that don't deserve to be here.

  • The title of this video is wrong. The are not immigrants! They are *illegal immigrants* and as such they have NO right to be here. I say find 'em and ship 'em back where they came from.

  • @carpolicious284 fuck you with your rights. like Europeans had a right to come here and kill a couple million Native Americans. this is nobody's home you fucking ignorant self-righteous faggot. i'm not even mexican and I really hope that they come in with a fucking brigade and take over whatever land they want.

  • @KingKarolus222 You don't know your history! Why are you even posting about this you apparently live in the UK?

  • @atgmam

    Hey! D**N Straight. He is living right in 1984 over there.

  • @atgmam Obviously neither do you, because he is right. Besides, California, Texas, Arizona and almost every other Southern state was taken from Mexico. The farmers simply crossed the border built houses and then shot any authority attempting to kick them out. After a while so many were there that we fought over the land with them. Europeans and Americans were the first illegal immigrants

  • There are many HIspanics in Poe's district.

    They don't like being compared to grasshoppers.

    If he wants to be re-elected, HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE IMMEDIATELY.

    And that's just the way it is.

  • @DillonDee1 maybe they should kidnap him like the 400 kidnappings that occured last year in Phoenix arizona by illegal immigrants. Wait...Thats what he's trying to prevent...Nevermind

  • @pipersmitty no maybe they should capture all the white people in this country and send them back, afterall, there was timothy mcveigh,...

  • @pakiman47 Stay in kuwait. :)

  • @pipersmitty ill stay in kuwait when all you white fucks gtfo of the middle east....

  • He's exactly right. I would've used the word "locusts" instead of "grasshoppers". Other than that, everything he said is factually true.

  • Ted Poe is right! Something has to be done. The title of this video is wrong. The are not immigrants! They are illegal immigrants.  Not "undocumented" workers, illegal immigrants! They are breaking our laws! Now those who are a part of the Mexican drug cartels are killing our people! If people who only want to work can cross the boarders, then drug cartels and terrorists can too! This is a security issue!

  • He is so loud..it's not easy for ppl from other countries to come here.Obviously if it was "everyone" would be a citizen..better not to judge because I have met some of the most wonderful warm and courageous ppl from other countries..can't stand the american superiority bs some display.Continue to be hateful and judgemental if it makes you feel good...

  • @Jiannamarie1 hey imbecile, it's about stopping the ones coming here illegally, not against all other people from other countries or against all immigrants...as if you didn't know after a decade of this insanity.

  • @RuflessRecords I won't go down to your level I saw you're profile and it speaks volumes about you...I guess you are against arabic ppl also... you wouldn't be acting like that in middleast that is for sure u would be crying.

  • @Jiannamarie1 same mistake on Arabs, I'm against terrorists, not Arabs, see it's very hard for stupid, drooling knuckledraggers like you to get this "complicated", "nuanced" views, but let's try again.

    Immigrant good, illegal immigrant bad.

    Arab good, Arab terrorist bad.

    Hope that helps.

  • The TOXIC dumbing down of the conservative movement (1950s-present): Buckley / Goldwater (rolling over in their graves) Nixon's Secret Plan & Southern Strategy Reagan (Trickle-down & MASSIVE DEBT) Religious right hijacks Jesus. GOP hijacks the flag. Limbaugh & Hate Radio Family values hypocrisy Fox "News" Bush/Cheney/Rove Palin Birthers Beck GOP hijacks Tea Party. The abyss? Conservatives, you are HERE.
  • @4evermeXY Oh shut up. If you wana come into this country, do it legally. We're all immigrants dumbass. My ancestry comes mainly from Scotland and the Cherokee. If some Mexicans want to come here for a better life more power to ya! Just do it legally and learn English and pay your taxes, get insurance, and pay your damn medical bills!

  • @DefendinMyBase Illegal aliens pay their taxes and get nothing in return. some speak perfect English and pay their medical bills. look up your percentages and statistics again dumb ass!

  • @VIadimirMakarov Are you kidding me? One of my dads workers was driving along when suddenly an illegal with no insurance, couldnt speak a lick if English, and probably not paying taxes, ran a stop sign and almost killed the guy. The illegal jumped out and sprinted away. Guess who got to pay for the car and the medical bills? Not the illegal. I'd be fine if they became legal US citizens. They're not.

  • He was not comparing Immigrants to grasshoppers. Nice trolling tactic. He was comparing the effort to keep out potentially harmful insects to the effort to keep out potentially harmful people. All you whores who are getting paid to be traitors are still going to be grouped with the civilization that you help to destroy.

  • @4evermeXY THIS IS AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT SUPPORTER!! look at the anger and negativity around their words. Name calling and mixing fact with fiction. This is a pure example of a possible federal operative or an actual illegal immigrant that knows the true agenda of this looming illegal immigrant problem. Do no engage these people just point them out and don't give power to their words. We are naturally born Americans!!  The laws are as WE say they are!! now sit down and shut up!

  • @calmdowngirl CHINGA TU PUTA MADRE PENDEJO, Y VETE A LA CHINGADA TU Y TU FAMILIA PERRO. stop using google, you prick...ばか!

  • hwy9-you are true in most aspects...but either way we look at it the US is going to borrow money from the chinese no matter what party is in office.and china will continue to buy because they have nothing else to do with their money.but i think that that situation is best understood by very experienced economists, which we are not.but good argument

  • 1. He is talking about ILLEGAL immigrants, Not simply immigrants (misleading title).

    2. Regardless of the title, he is not even trying to dehumanize Illegal immigrants. He is simply saying: if we, as Americans, can take care of small illegal insects, then why can't we take handle full grown illegal human beings?

    3. But, this what MM is about: Portraying illegal aliens as the poor victims being dehumanized (with faulty proof) INSTEAD of addressing this matter as an issue of legality.

  • He's not comparing them to grasshoppers, he's comparing preventing Brazilian grasshoppers from crossing into Texas with preventing illegals from crossing into Texas.

  • He's wrong In term of pure logic. In fair comparison in sizes the border is almost 2 million times the height of a person thus the ship would have to be 60 miles long. Even with a huge crews they would still have about 32 million illegal grasshoppers inside at any given time.

  • oh yeah and arent flaming liberals afraid of global warming and the death of trees and flowers and plants?yeah thats what i thought.go smoke your weed because thats all you hippie mfers do

  • lmx you are so stupid its not even worth talking to you.the strength of this country is a result of a lot of things, with one being strong republican presidents in the past

  • One thing say to this guy, a trash on human society.

  • Librals are weak? you are coward, scared of everything, scared of terrorists, scared of african americans, scared of undocumented workers, scared of healthcare reform, scared of african american president, scared of democrats, scared of librals. Not only you are scared yourself, you are scaring others too. Real american doesn't scare of anything.

  • That's not the right way to fight illegal immigration. Rounding up individuals merely suspected of being illegals will lead to serious problems like false accusations due to racial profiling. There's got to be a better way...like going after employers who hire illegals and making easier to become legal.

  • @TreyParkersBitch The government has had decades to go after employers but refuses because employers want cheaper labor. Illegals lower domestic labor rates for employers. Now that border states are fed up with federal inaction and are enforcing existing laws, now pro illegal immigrant persons like yourself have suddenly discovered the employers! There is a better way. Enforce existing laws.

  • @electango I never said I was "pro-illegal immigrant". I live in a town being taken over by illegals and working in a grocery store I see illegals come through all the time with their WIC checks while single American mothers struggle everyday. It's not right...but like I said hunting individuals merely suspected of being illegal who could very well be innocent isn't the right solution. This is racial profiling and almost hate...as Americans we can find a more humane way. I know we can.

  • yea hes right! if u can watch porn on your iphone, then why is it so hard to monitor and protect 1000 miles of borderland 24/7/365! seems pretty easy. cmon people, use technology and computers to somehow magically make this problem go away.

    great contribution numb-nuts.

  • @eugeneonegin09 I'm not white, I'm not a redneck. You support illegal activities and illegal aliens.

  • @psychoklown66 ,o....k.... then you're a sellout, better?

  • and his ancestors were grasshoppers too!!!

    jumping from Europe to here in the states!!!!

    and then gave the natives small pox ='(

    killed most of them, drove them out of here and called this place their own!!!

    GO USA!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I find it hilarious that all of these videos come from the same site, A site that is way off to the left and apparently just bashes republicans and the clip was cut early just to make people take it out of context. I feel sorry for all you people who are merely followers and just listens to what anyone on tv says...

  • The pilgrims were the first illegals. So I guess they are the first grasshoppers. ;0

  • and of course this is media matters.....the liberal biased group..who trusts these retards? you liberals complain about fox news being biased..but you get news from this OBVIOUSLY liberal biased group..and msnbc....and you can sit there and tell me there not biased?

    liberalism is a mental disorder.

  • @zackgonnahaveahissy-fit, conservativism is brain rot!

  • he is also a grasshopper because somehow we all americans are immigrants, I dislike people like this man, is more of an act of racism

  • @sergioyeldon You're taking it the wrong way. That's not what he meant.

  • I saw this on CSPAN yesterday lol. Channel 35 TWC son!

  • what an insult to grasshoppers!

  • Once upon a time in imperial Japan a master of karate and kung fu was born and he taught his students the way of the grasshopper soon after they invaded manchuria and raped their women.

    True story. Beware of the grasshoppers that will rape your women.

  • wow

  • what makes you people even more ignorant is that u consider this video a comparison when its really an analogy of how pathetic the laws against illegals are...

    and yes we can deport all of you hahhaa

  • @deadindian1 " its really an analogy of how pathetic the laws against illegals are" - Exactly. I saw this on CSPAN yesterday or two days ago, and that's exactly what he meant.

  • We would be better of helping other countries then spending all this money turning good people crossing the boarder in to criminals.

  • theyre not immigrants.. theyre ILLEGAL immigrants

    and u people r idiots

    im a mexican-american from arizona..im from the ghetto...my old neighborhood looks like little mexico and its a fucking shame i wish u people wud come down to arizona and see what its like... u have no idea..ur all so clueless and ignorant..swallowing whatever the media feeds u

  • @deadindian1 the truth is with you my friend. The real American public knows what you are saying and support Jan and the rest of you in Arizona. Most of these guys specially on this George soros funded site are federal internet trolls specially hired by Cas sunstein to oppose opposition to real issues from the inside. Don't let them suck you into their misdirection of leading conversations away from the main topic at hand. Good luck to you all down on the border and stay firm in your resolve.

  • @deadindian1 nobody dislikes these people because they're mexican, and we frankly don't give a shit about their living conditions. If they want to be American citizens, they can apply like everybody else and go through the same processes my grandparents went through.

  • @deadindian1 yep

  • @deadindian1 fuck you. Europeans took over this land by force, killing millions of innocent people. nobody has the right to say someone can't come in this country, illegal or not, this country was founded on unjustified immigration through force. go fuck yourself

  • @deadindian1

    to be honest, i'd rather listen to media and politicians than someone from ghetto that can't even write "would" or "you're" correctly.

  • @biauas bitchass there wasnt enough room to write everything in full words. maybe if you had thoughtful responses to videos you would also have to use short hand. "someone from ghetto"? i think you mean someone from THE ghetto as the word ghetto is usually used in a general sense and there is no pro noun form of the word ghetto. and as far as I can tell I have 14 thumbs ups on my comment and you have none.

  • Lol. It's a metaphor. Lol x2 @ all the people who are getting offended over this.

  • wow

  • @calmdowngirl just FUCK OFF!! Im tired of you!! go away with your puta verga madre

  • Xenophobic, racist, nativist.. none of these words begin to describe Rep. Poe. These people are human beings too, u know. "Whatsoever u do to the least of my brethren, that u do unto me"-Jesus Christ

  • yes republicans do say some dumb shit but lets not for get the democrat representative that was afraid that the island of Guam might sink

  • @calmdowngirl hell no! like that guy, hell no! Im Vejita and my pride is for my people. Kill myself? sure...like Vejita did for his love ones, i will do the same for my people, destroyed myself against a bigger enemy.

  • Go Poe! I remember you talking at my elementary school a long time ago when you were still a judge. We need more Reps like you.

  • @houstonredneck616, please let texas secede .

  • @eugeneonegin09 See, I'm all for it. Very few Americans know the economic power Texas has on the rest of the country. They would rather have their skewed political viewpoints take precedence over any sort of logical thought. I assume you would be another coin in the bucket of that bunch.

  • Illegal aliens are not immigrants. They are criminals who wont follow the law of the USA, but they want the freedom it offers.

  • were here to stay crackas. better start workin on your espanol.=]

    fuck patriotism. This country got founded on lies and deceit anyways. time for a revolution.

  • @mannybags12 hahahhahahahaha ill end you if u ever talk about America like that again you dirty mojado

  • haha i agree wit gerfall..having a wetback is what keeps us alive when we cross the border lol

  • This was slightly edited to be skewed. Arizona is leading the way to reform!!!

  • @psychoredneck66, arizona is leading the way to Trailerpark U.S.A.
