Because of 9/11 we must enforce immigration laws! I know many Hispanics from many countries. When we counter protest I see the hate and racism thrown at them from all you poor illegals and illegal supporters calling them "coconuts" or our Black patriots being called "Uncle Toms" oh and white are automatically called Nazi's.

Funny how blind the real racist really are!

If you dont like Mexicans I challenge you to get to know some. They're great loving people if you give them the chance. America is supposed to be united regardless of your color. Why do we battle like middle eastern wild men who fight over beliefs or race or land. This is America and we are all one. Now lets be brothers and sisters and hang on, cuz we all suffered in 9/11 and its sad how it takes such a horrific event to get everyone to stand together..

They're racists and they dont care if all mexicans get citizenship or not. They (WHITES/BLACK RACISTS) just dont want to be the minority, but they cant control that! I am Puerto Rican and even I get told i am getting deported... For those who dont know. Puerto Rico is practically a state of the USA. Puerto Ricans cannot get deported.. Look us up if you dont believe me. Damn Minutemen lets just all be one great country

I was at that protest!!! Si se Puede!!!(Yes we can!)

My family has been here since before the colonialization of our land! we have every right if not more right to be here!

I have in no way changed the subject. You took my words out of the context that they were in. I was speaking to the fact that it is possible for other states to join the union, but clearly you want to save face rather then actually read what was written to begin with.

[tuneheads]

I am against people immigrating illegally and have clearly stated so. Them being Americans has no connection with them being citizens of the United States of America. If you had taken the time to read what I wrote before you started calling our neighbors commies and wanting nothing to do with them, you would have understood that.

Well that's a great little policy that you have here, but according to the laws of this union you must have permission to be here if you were not born here. Of course you know that but have decided to change the point with your philosophy. I love mexicans but the way they are going about eluding our system will over load the governments and break it down.

[tuneheads]

They are Americans just as the French or English are Europeans. They are not citizens of the United States of America, but nonetheless still Americans. They may not be Floridians, Californians, Texans, or New Yorkers, but yet they are still Americans. The fact is our union is a collaboration of individual states (countries) all with their own constitution. They are Americans that come from states that have chosen not to join the union.

Please deport these people we do not need them here.
