Aint that the damn truth! It’s good to know that common sense still prevails in some avenues.

This attitude of entitlement—not only among illegal aliens but also among legal Hispanic immigrants and their children—extends to the full array of welfare programs.

Well ain’t that the truth. It’s been that way in Western Mass. for almost 40 years now. It’s no coincidence that the lead Dem on this is “representing” MA.

By the way, I just saw a paid ad by an open borders group, they showed various occupations and kept repeating “we need labor” over and over.

I also saw an ad that was totally in Spanish, put out by Comcast, on a regular cable channel.

Oh well, people just don’t get it. If anyone wants to see how well people have been assimilating over the last 40 years, come on up to Springfield or Holyoke, MA… See how many tax dollars we spend on all things bilingual.

That’s funny – same sentiments. I was busy hunting and pecking while you were posting that.

Reaganaut, don’t forget Lawrence, Worcester, and Methuen.

I guess I’m one of the 1 percenters.

This -is- the republican party now. Fred Barnes said it a few years ago – a properly oriented big government with lots of programs is no problem. He’s the republican party. We need to realize it.

“We have the right to health services,” an illegal Mexican in Santa Clarita, California, told the Los Angeles Times.

I have smoke coming out of my ears right now. Smoke. You know how much the “worst” family plan costs in MA? $900 a month. $900! And. that’s with no drug benefit and high deductibles…

All I want is to be treated like an illegal alien.

No more health insurance bills. No more car insurance bills. No more taxes. No more license and registration fees. On and on it goes.

You know people can ramble and type on and on with all the reasons amnesty (and that is what this is)is a good thing. So much so that my eyes are glazing over from reading the same talking points and I cannot read them all. It is about S-E-C-U-R-I-N-G the border you nim-rods. The word is derived from the word secure. Google it. We, at least I do not want ordinary law abiding citizens deported…. oh hell screw it, I am getting tired of explaining it.

“But Hispanics are Republicans waiting to emerge,” counter the Bush strategists.

That would truly be a magic transformation since at least half of Hispanics crashing our party have strong to very strong communist ties.

Do some Republican lawmakers actually think those Hispanics are going to give up working our sweet system and leapfrog over our liberals to become the reincarnation of James Madison?
Dream on losers.

California, the future of America.

The Hispanics most likely to vote Republican are the ones entering the US legally.

Those are the ones that should get a fast track to citizenship.

Then we have to get it back.

Well, I’ll be flying over to MA for 3 months this Sunday. I’ll be sure to wave, or something.

I just read a book called “The Brothers Bolger” — Until I read it I never thought a state could be more corrupt in entitlement programs than Louisiana. Mass makes La look like the Vatican and a bunch of white guys passed the laws it talked about for …surprise… the benefit of a lot of white families. Bolger only left in the last few years.
