Kudos to you Robb for questioning your beliefs and confronting the hate they had created in you. I hope others do the same.

[RobbPearson]

Yes, ALIPAC1. You uncovered our devious plot. David Marlett and I planned this all along. The plan was to hold a rally in NJ, and then A FULL YEAR LATER I would move to PA, reverse course on the illegal immigration issue, and then get interviewed by a production company in Virginia. David, meanwhile, would end up filming a movie in Argentina about the sport of polo (which he is in fact doing).

All in the hopes of bringing down the "immigration enforcement movement."

How ridiculous.

my older brother is illegal, he was born in mx in 1963 and came here when he was 2 yrs old my mom never got him citizenship and ignored it all his life untill recent he wanted to astablish his citizenship, the u.s. gov told him he has to file just like anyone else and theirs no gurantee he would be give citizenship, there fore he was here illegal. the funny thing is my brother is a racist and hates mexicans and thinks they should be deported back to mexico exspecially illegals, what a hiporcrite

jalu my friend is filipino last name villapa and he has family members that are illigal cus they come with visas to usa or canada and over stay.so this issue is agains mexicans cus aperently every brown skin is mexican and thats profiling and equals to racism.so tel me what about indians my co worker was picked up by ice.this is racism unless tha facts back up what they acused the illigals but evrthingh has showen to be bias.

I am a filipino american, am married to a naturalized citizen, and the product of a naturalized mother and citizen father and I oppose amnesty for illegal immigration. Living in San Diego County I have met many people, regardless of race/ethnicity, who stand on different sides of this issue, even within the same political parties are there differences of opinion. One thing we can all agree with is that there is a problem.

alot of people are 'anti illegal immigration' that arent racist. However when you 'look at a person and think of them as an illegal alien'...you are racist.

Lets not let this man get away with justifying this as 'mob rule' or getting caught up in the moment. That is for the dance floor.

Even this supposed confession is full of racial quips. The issue actually brought up what his feelings were before he got involved.

He just needed a way to vent them in public.

[aznheat13]

calm, your right, that is the problem...the boarder and the corrupt system is the problem not the amnesty itself...people are learning the wrong lesson from our past...we didn't secure the boarder, the thing that will prevent most immigration and their employers, the corrupted businesses that exploit their desperation, i hope an amnesty will come soon and when it does the boarder and employment persecution must be a priority

:D

[calamagrostis88]

aznheat13, The problem is that the people who are hiring illegal immigrants don't want them to be legalized because then these workers would have rights and demand higher pay. If they are legalized the illegal employers will just bring in more illegals. In the last Amnesty for illegals there were promises to seal the border, but those were just empty words to keep the whole corrupt system going.

[aznheat13]

NO open boarders...legalize current illegals so they can contribute...deport the dangerous ones...build the fence and secure the boarders a little better....harsh punishment for hiring new illegals...a lot of

now-taxable income for medicare and unemployment tax...get driving license fees, more automobiles bought, more airport income...more jobs because of more profits for these business...illegals lose the advantage of lower wage when trying to get employed... :D

what do u guys think?
