this is so bizarre compared to what you see these days

[Larry Novak]

Bush and Reagan would be called Commies by todays Tea Party

[Janet Conroy]

Bush was Reagan's Big Mistake Numero Uno, Amnesty was his Big Mistake Numero Dos. Bush comes from a line of fascists (Nazi supporters and corporatists). He was the one who REFUSED to enforce the enforcement portion of the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act. Had Reagan NOT compromised on these two mistakes, the world would look much different today -- California would still be "Reagan Country" and we wouldn't have had the two Bush Wars in Iraq. This from a Reagan supporter since 1966!

Such an informed and sensitive person you seem to be! Outside of having won the ovarian lottery, it's clear you are no more deserving of living in this fine and lucky country than any poor person who's been forced to sneak in illegally.

[legion lowrey]

eight18 - No, R U intellectually lazy, cheap, dumb, dim-witted and daffed? Now, I MUST be right bcuz I used more insults than U. Airheaded, uncouth creepazoid. I will wait to see if U actually ever use UR mind & can post civilized & use logic - or UR brain, not UR cop-out crap mouth.

I'm right according to facts & reality. UR nutz.

I would post issues, but all U gave is worthless venom. If ppl get influenced just because someone uses insults, they deserve to be deluded, deceived and duped.

you do understand that 2-3 times a year doesnt even begin to compare to how many people die in car accidents yearly right?

42,636 people die in car crashes every year, so considering ever

also, look up alabama anti-immigration farms

farmers cant replace lost illegal immigrants with U.S. citizens, as they are unwilling to take the work

also, what ever happened to "little respect for the basic traditions of our country flout our laws and promote ethnic strife and nationalism"?

There's no such thing as "menial labor no one else wants to do." Illegal aliens are willing to do those jobs for less pay than Americans are, thus, as is always the case in a job market, employers seek them out for those jobs in order to save money. If you're slow, that means: illegals are under-bidding American citizens for jobs.

And the rest of your crap: In my city, illegals constantly drive drunk the wrong way on the interstate & kill people. Happens 2-3 times/yr and its ALWAYS an illegal.
