Another one to the slaughtering pits...
Whose the bigot? The first word you threw out was racist.......if you were so intelligent then youd realize that prejudice against a religion isnt RACISM its prejudice.........which is not anywhere near the same thing......
But good job on the name calling through out the thread man, typical tactics.........
I was called a Muslim after I informed the poster of my ethnic background - after he mistook it because everyone with a different opinion than him is a Mexican or something confusing.
That is racism. Then he went on with bigotry and intolerance bashing towards Islam. All the while another poster is trying to connect the immigrant issue with the Iranian "threat".
Typical tactics? What, I'm a disinfo agent now? Come on, get behind that mask again...quick! What I see is typical demonizing of ethnic minorities. Those that can end up in large groups of people physically fighting it out. You might think that's all fine and dandy but as someone says a word that irks you wrong - typical tactics.
please! that is not the case, There has been much research referenced here that shows the cost of illegal immigration. Point me to some research that discusses the benefits of illegal immigration.
I'm anxiously waiting for that.
More nonsensical ramblings from you. Why can't you stay on topic, and discuss the impact of "ILLEGAL" immigration. What are the merits of illegal immigration vs. legal immigration, please enlighten us.
I can assure everyone here that I'm ok with you being a Muslim.
What I'm not ok with is you hating on Christianity
yet begging for tolerance of Islam
and claiming to be nonreligious when in fact you are a muslim
you cant be tolerant and intolerant at the same time with the same subject

Are you okay with me not being a Muslim though? I mean, does that exist in your world?
What I'm not ok with is you hating on Christianity
I'm not hating on Christianity. I hate on organized religion. Furthermore, I can point to stupidities in the religion I'm most familiar with.
yet begging for tolerance of Islam
I don't see me begging anyone
and claiming to be nonreligious when in fact you are a muslim
Get this through your racist, ignorant skull: I'm not a Muslim.
you cant be tolerant and intolerant at the same time with the same subject
I think you lost it. What is interesting is how bad you underestimate me really How's that false sense of superiority? Fading yet?
That will be my last reply to you for a couple of weeks. Next time, lets see if you've increased your knowledge.

I never said that you were a Muslim or an extremist.
No, but your brother(s) in ideology did.
I said that your people are parasites.
Well DUH, you are oblivious to things that happen on your own border, on other borders so how could I expect you not to be knowledgeable on history. Do you think an uninformed opinion like yours makes me mad? I know what my ethnic ancestors achieved and offered this world(do you?), that's all that counts.
I find it exquisite that you are trying to piss me off. Can't fight the facts huh. Now imagine how many desperate people you owe a form of apology to, even if a thought, even if a realization that things weren't as clear cut and black and white as you thought. Don't worry, I don't take offense to your insults as they are founded on nothing but ignorance.

How is that an insane rationalization.
How is turning the US arms trade into Mexico into the following NOT insane rationalization?
. Probably an awful lot of illegals and anchor babies smuggling these weapons back into Mexico far easier than running drugs in.
Well???
People that are so avid in defending or encouraging this person? Do you see the effects? You guys are helping each other go NUTS.
What you are experiencing is cognitive dissonance.
Benefits? Costs? Alright, I see what kind of person you are now. So the right approach to you would be; hey take a look at those MEGA COMPANIES that embody the American dream. Now look at the amount of illegal immigrants working in these companies. Without these illegal immigrants, millions of Americans would starve. - there. That's one, grade school argument for a benefit.
I just think you are being blinded by your perception of 'racism' on this issue.
What would be your response if I told you I was 1/8th American Indian
I've heard that first hand from several hispanic 'legal' immigrants, that they are disgusted with the illegal immigration issue; because they realize it is impacting their livelihood, as well.
This is _NOT_ a racist issue, no matter how much you would like it to be, to validate to yourself that all the Americans are evil and racists, which is not the case.
We are a hodgepodge of all ethnicities, but we have an organized system and don't appreciate people coming here illegally and impacting us here.
You keep mentioning the corporate and the rich, but those aren't the ones who are effected by 'illegal' immigration, it's us little guys that feels the pinch, the guy who can't get a job or makes 1/2 as much, because of the glut of under-paid undocumented illegal workers.
America was once the greatest of nations and we didn't have the overwhelming numbers of illegals that we have today. We did just fine without them. If we starve, it won't be because of not having illegal immigrnats.

Lets see...every period of manufacturing in US history has been done at the hands of immigrants. In fact, without immigrants there wouldn't be a USA today!
But lets all stay ignorant of history shall we. Suits religious minds.

If it is illegals and fifth-column Mexican-Americans who are smuggling the guns in, how exactly is that the fault of America?
We have relatively open gun policies. If Mexico doesn't like it, they can close the border, simple as that.
He was intentionally letting guns go to Mexico? "Yes ma'am," Dodson told CBS News. "The agency was."
An Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms senior agent assigned to the Phoenix office in 2010, Dodson's job is to stop gun trafficking across the border. Instead, he says he was ordered to sit by and watch it happen.

It is not the responsibility of ATF to protect Mexico's border. If that were the case, we should have invaded Mexico a long time ago for harboring drug cartels and allowing so many illegals to cross into the US.

I actually wanted to add that to my post:
"Oh" but you say "those weren't illegals".
I was WAITING for someone to make that post.
Do you know how they treated those "legal immigrants"? Worse than they treat illegal immigrants now so yeh, some of them were even taken from other places, some were sold by their place of origin(Africa/Orient)...
what you fail to understand is that America simply needs the cheap workforce that doesn't bitch about this benefit or that pension, because America simply can't "afford" hiring at "human rates" - this is the harsh reality. And even if some companies can afford "fair wages", they certainly won't be jumping to hand "fair wages" out.

Actually it says that it was Dodson's job to stop gun trafficking across the border. He was then ordered to sit back and do nothing by the US government.
Give it up it's right there in black and white. And of course it isn't the american people who are at fault but it is your elected officials so stop acting like they are not the ones pulling the strings.
