So no real response to what I said? Just some snarky insult? Figures. GET EDUCATED!!! I promise it's not that hard to get a high school diploma, or a GED (General Education Degree). Then you come back to these forums and post something that actually has content to it.
Peace IS the answer, not war.
Empathy is the answer, not hate.
Freedom, NOT a police state.
As Ben Franklin once said, "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Sorry, all this peace! peace! stuff makes you sound like a throwback to the 60's hippies. Had your share of Maryjane today? Responding to the report of Mexican troops parading about our border with discussion of immigrants....I just can't find any words suitable....

Are you serious man, I'm not trying to get a rise out of you, sit back and read what I copied and pasted above and tell me you are serious. You want to kill innocent men (and possibly women) simply because they got lost close to the border between our two countries. You think Mexico is staging a mainland invasion of the United States with a couple truck-loads of troops in training? What "no good" would these Mexican troops be up to exactly? Bah, let's shoot 'em up and let Yahweh sort em out, right? I would recommend thinking before you speak, if you are so capable.edit on 24-6-2011 by ateuprto because: (no reason given)
Exactly what part of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT do you not understand? If they are illegal immigrants, they are ALL CRIMINALS by definition.

Mexicans were not "parading" in our territory, they got lost. I'm more in-line with the person who you are responding to than you. Peace IS the answer, that coming from a man who has killed quite a few of his brothers in combat. Why don't you stuff your self-righteous crap homeboy.

So then what pray tell is considered a refugee?
So the illegals do not count. If they did, we have proceedures for those needing refugee status which, if followed, would not make them illegals.
a refugee is more narrowly defined (in Article 1A) as a person who "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country
Honestly? I don't care. We have our own problems that we need to fix, and they need to stay home and fix their problems.
How can one find refuge in the country which they are trying to escape?
We should not only "stigmatize them", we should punish them as the criminals they are.
Like I said in my previous post. Immigrants should come to this country legally, but we cannot stigmatize those who feel they cannot wait and go through the lengthy legal process of immigrating to this country.
They are already making me angry. They are also angering millions of other Americans. Don't we count? It is OUR country after all.
All I am saying is that the view that you are proposing is extremist and will do nothing other than stoke anger and discontent amongst people living in this country and in the bordering ones.

Once again, this was not an invasion force. If an armor platoon and a few hundred Mexican troops "get lost" and breach our border I might be concerned. You do know that the U.S. and Mexico take part in joint-training exercises right? I've spent some time in Mexico while I was in the service doing joint-training and teaching Mexican men how to operate with small-unit tactics and to properly control combat airspace as a FAC aka putting ordinance on-target up-close and personal from the ground. Mexican military men and women are a good bunch actually, very professional and very serious about stabilizing and protecting their own country. Sounds like you have a problem with our Hispanic brothers and sisters to the South actually.edit on 24-6-2011 by ateuprto because: (no reason given)edit on 24-6-2011 by ateuprto because: (no reason given)

You are connecting dots that don't need to be connected. The Mexican government has indeed issued pamphlets and other information telling people how to survive in the desert. Much of Mexico is a desert....makes sense doesn't it? Not to mention they are not encouraging men and women to cross the border illegally, only helping people to survive if they do find themselves in dire straights in the scorching sand. We have signs on the interstate near the border telling people to look out for pedestrians (border hoppers) much like we do for deer. We are not encouraging illegals to cross, only trying to keep people safe and alive. I would much prefer a healthy Mexican immigrant (legal or not) on our side of the border than a dead one in-between. If you would prefer the other I wouldn't say it is a stretch that you are "heartless."
Please don't come to me with the old peace is for hippies speech. I understand that a bunch of acid-dropping wookies that think the world runs on magic can be annoying at times, but they mean no harm to anyone. Don't associate me as a hippy either por favor, I've spent many a year in the military and have put more heat down-range than you could probably imagine.
Lighten up brother, illegal immigrants are far from being a U.S. American's biggest concern at this point.edit on 24-6-2011 by ateuprto because: (no reason given)edit on 24-6-2011 by ateuprto because: (no reason given)

WOW DUDE!!! REALLY??? You actually think that it is a good idea to start yet another war??? To spend billions of dollars on killing more people??? Really??? That wasn't just some stupid joke? Maybe Mexico should slap you around a little bit. OR you could wake up and realize that the only way to live a safe and secure life is to treat other people the way you want to be treated. Go back to school and get educated.
