Here we go again!!!!
I don't know about you people, but I'm getting real tired about illegal immagrants! (sic) No other country on this planet would put up with the crap we do about "boat people!". The latest is the Haitians crawling all over the beltway in the last few days! We've really got to get a handle on the illegal *deleted* coming here. We all know they're here to make money to send home to their loved ones, but the problem is, they're not buying anything here!!! It's called the "multiplyer effect" in Econ 101. When you spend a dollar, it becomes income to another, and the US gets a piece of it, and on and on it goes! But when an immigrant works hard and gets his "cash" under the table, he sends it home to Mexico. He's not buying a washing machine, a VCR, or anything that will help the economy!!! It's just a friggin' drain on the economy. We've lost so very much. Just my thoughts.

Whoa tiger!
Everybody is entitled to their opinion, but if you want people to listen you've got to do it tactfully. Easy on the ethnic slurs there...

I'm really confused here as to what I said wrong? I apologize for any ethnic slurs! I mean that.
I can't believe how many people jumped on me for being, "politically inncorrect"! I am not a Redneck!

The democratic senate is to blame, 100%. The House passed a bill abolishing the INS which is the problem. The INS let Malvo go free, let several terrorists go free ont he west coast and sent visas to the dead 9/11 terrorists. The Democratic senate is now sitting on a bill that would reform our protections from illegals who are causing us great harm.

You all have it wrong!!!!
I just checked "Websters New World Dictionary" and it says; "WetBack", a Mexican agricultural laborer who illegally enters or is brought into the U.S. to work. I never meant this to be a racial slur! It blows me away that all you people jumped all over this with such a "kneejerk" reaction!

Where the hell are you from? It's still a derogatory term. And don't play stupid, you know damn well it is.

Trust me, we all like a good debate here...but ease up on the throttle a little ok? There's absolutely nothing wrong with an opinion, whether it's popular or not, it's the presentation of that opinion that matters.
