Tinklenberg/Bachmann Debate: Immigration

[conservativetothecor]

Illegal is illegal and not racist.

[conservativetothecor]

I want them all to go through backround checks and Im sorry but I dont trust this government on either side to do that. You hand that many people a free pass and you are asking for terrorism. Well Congress already asked for it by refusing to enforce the laws. And no, I dont expect them to listen or learn. Thats why the nation will fall apart. They dont learn. I love immigrants but you just cant lump them all together as dangerous or not dangerous. The fact is they came . Deal with it.

[conservativetothecor]

This was the one issue that turned me totally against Bush. He crossed the line against our own children.I expect the left to lie, but when a conservative starts doing it they are no different.

[redryan20000]

@conservativetothecor lol. i expect the right to lie, but i too realize they're really no different. it's just corporate robots

[Naoki09]

If you want to deport all the illegal immigrants:

1) Have fun trying

2) Watch the economy completely crumble from within even more so than it is now

As unfortunate as it is allowing amnesty to law breakers, there really isn't another option.

[wolfmanrick]

@Naoki09 our economy will be fine go fuck up your own country oh thats right you already DID.

[Naoki09]

@wolfmanrick you're so fucking stupid, i love it.

[califab]

Get that bitch out of congress...fucking looser piece of shit.

[StraightShooter01]

I agree that Bachmann turned a tragedy into a political talking point - I truly believe Americans are getting sick and tired of this type of politics ...

[brabon1]

while they are both wrong on the immigration issue, it is apparent that bachman just chooses not to listen to tinklenberg and spew wingnut talking points

guest worker programs and visa programs are only here to destroy the middle class and wipe out unions

why do we need to import high tech workers? arent our universities and trade schools putting out enough? if not, why? or is it that employers dont want to pay for benefits and higher wages

as for the dairy farmers...fuck em...hire americans

[jaif4]

It will be a tragic story if this airhead wins for Minnesota.

NO bush NO McCain NO Bachmann.

Tinklenberg 08

[mikec1100]

good comment

[patitofeo76]

This lady is like a George Bush/ Sarah Palin hybrid. I hope that this guy Tinkleberg wins. She wants to re-impose McCarthyism in 2008, far-right fanatics only hurt our democracy.

[eerik123455]

And illegal Mexicans kill Americans. Do you want that?

[mrluke13]

no person in the us has ever died because someone was illegal that is dumb....the reason some one is killed ...is because the person doing the killing was evill....can you imagine if some texans killed some people in new york....and the newspaper wrote the reason those people died was because the killer was a texan....duh

[wolfmanrick]

@eerik123455 go ahead and try almost everyone is packing any way.give us a reason to blow your fucking heads off

[darkharlowe]

By the way, Elwyn was a minister. He's someone that has actually served the people of his community - not some ignorant, intolerant harpy that abandoned her constituents to be a media whore. He also said numerous times he agreed with securing the borders, not by some lame fence.

[darkharlowe]

Immigrants bring in diseases? She really said they bring in diseases?? What a bigoted piece of sh*t she is.

[brabon1]

not immigrants...illegals

it is true...we are seeing signs that illnesses like tb and polio making a resurgence thanks to the influx of illegals...because they are not vaccinated

[eerik123455]

Where did this asshole Tinklenberg come from? This fucking loser wants illegal aliens to have more rights. Fuck him!

[ejseader]

At least he values the separation of church and state!

[Antichrys]

But this whole nation is run by immigrants so what are U talking about? Should the immigrants that came to this country first dictate how many rights the immigrants of today should have...and them label them as "illegal"?

Or are U just talking out of YOUR asshole?

[eerik123455]

Yes, they have this right. And it is you who are talking out of YOUR asshole. If you want to stop us from having that right your only recourse is to go to war.

[Antichrys]

Immigrants, diversity, tolerance, new ideas is what made this nation such a success. I know what i'm talking about. You're treading on a road of ignorance my friend.

[eerik123455]

And you're treading on the road of criminality, my "friend". We have laws and they have to be obeyed. Even someone with your low I.Q. is going to have to realize that.

[Antichrys]

That's the thing about this country. Laws can change. After tuesday your point of view just became a bit sillier. I see these 'illegal' immigrants getting more rights sooner than later.

Have a nice day.

[eerik123455]

According to you I now have the right to break the law? You are one sick motherfucker.

[Naoki09]

You use personal insults, that discredits you. Nice job.

[esandeen]

Bachmann refers to Olga Franco, who was convicted in a tragic vehicle accident that killed 4 children in a school bus. She was an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. Had she followed immigration laws, I guess Bachmann thinks she'd have been a better driver? That's just crass.

[GunnySgtHartman]

That is not the issue. If Olga Franco hadn't entered illegaly, the 4 children would still be alive. That is a FACT!!!!

[esandeen]

Don't get me wrong. I feel so bad for the families who lost those kids, I can't even imagine. But it's not an immigration issue. Pick any one of a thousand things that could have happened differently that day - different bus route, different kids on the route, stop signs at a different place, whatever, and the tragedy wouldn't have happened. Bachmann using that tragedy to make a political point is crass.

[bkauringer]

The Cottonwood bus accident did not happen explicitly because Olga Franco is an immigrant. Bachmann is using a minority as a scapegoat for the nation's problems.

She recently named Obama as anti-American and suggested that the media should do an expose to discover any anti-American in Congress. This is not only wrong, but simply foolish. Something is very wrong with Michelle Bachmann.

[TigresDelEste]

Right, she drinks the Lou Dobbs Kool-Aid.

[eerik123455]

Bachmann is not saying that. She is saying that Franco should not have broken the law by coming here illegally. Do you get that now, you stupid piece of shit?
