Illegal Immigration IV: Amnesty For Some, Miniature American Flags For Others

Re: Illegal Immigration IV: Amnesty For Some, Miniature American Flags For Others

Funny thing is you read the guy's comments and it sounds like he's advocating.....AMNESTY!!!!

Not as funny as how you never get the main gist of articles that are cited. :p

Always amusing how you lose track of the conversation. I picture you and Old Pio sitting around the senior center with him playing the role of Grampa Simpson and you as his friend Jasper as you needlessly debate whether or not pants are more or less comfortable than they were back in the good ol' days. :D

How'd you go from this:
From this border rancher’s perspective, the immigration solution is for Americans to stop the demand for drugs, to stop hiring illegal immigrants, economic recovery in Mexico, troops and technology to seal off the border, and most of all, immigration reform at the federal level.

“We need a legal system,” said Chilton. “We need a legal system to bring good people into this country.”
to amnesty?

Immigration reform and amnesty are not the same things. Reform would/could be something like "loosen up the restrictions a little bit and find ways to more efficiently process the tens of thousands of applications that pile up in the immigration office". Granting amnesty to illegal immigrants is really just pardoning people for breaking federal law, and essentially giving them citizenship on top of it all.

Unless you're just using buzzwords to tick off Old Pio and Bob Gray, then I'm not following your logic.

.....which is a far more interesting debate then watching you chase your tail in circles in any given political thread. Someday you'll be able to participate in grown-up debates. :cool:

Umm....yes, that's the point I was sarcastically making. What the rancher is talking about makes up the crux of proposed immigration reform, the same ideas that Old Pio and Bob (amongst others on the right) label as amnesty. Just trying to help the old geezers out. ;)

You give yourself way too much credit. I can't recall the last time you made a serious argument that I needed to take time to consider. :p

Don't believe the hype. He eats paint chips for breakfast, believe that.

Because you refuse to offer anything close to a logical thought.

Probably because you forgot what you were reading half way through the first sentence. :D

I do recall my posting about why new found deficit hawks want to give the reigns of govt back to the people who gave us the unfunded perscription drug mandate, but you guys ran away from that one faster than John McCain did regarding his prior support of immigration reform. :cool:

The unfunded prescription mandate had bipartisan support. Just to try to help you out with actual facts.

What difference does that make. We're supposed to elect Republicans this year to balance the budget, right? Are you saying they'll be no different than before? Why elect them then?

you talk of giving the reigns back to those people. the Dems are in control now. how do you give the reigns back to those who are in control? Your logic fails.

Stop looking at the Ds and Rs next to someone's name. I don't care if we vote in Democrats or Republicans, so long as someone steps up and balances the budget while addressing needed spending cuts along with deficit reductions measures. And if a minimal increase in taxes is necessary, so be it. But increased spending, deficits and government programs sure as hell ain't getting us anywhere.

Again about the memory problems Bob. Need to get the staff to give you a quick check up. :p
