[...] It’s probably better or him that he doesn’t try to go head-to-head with Michelle on the issue. He doesn’t usually tend to come out too well on those situations. As Bryan notes: [...]

[...] Geraldo says he “cringes” whenever I’m on Fox. I’ll tell you exactly why. It’s not because of any principled objection he has to the arguments I’ve made in my books (which he hasn’t read), columns, blog posts, and tee-vee appearances. It’s because the mere existence of conservative-thinking minorities who reject his tired old brand of identity politics threatens his race/ethnic-card-playing schtick. He can no longer dismiss all immigration enforcement proponents as racists without looking like a fool or tool, because there are countless, vocal numbers of them like me who have skin as brown as his. He cringes because he knows I’m not alone. He cringes because I’ll call out his bullcrap to his face without feeling any need to soften the blow or suck up in a collegial manner. He’s a know-it-all who knows nothing about the deportation abyss–and he masks his fundamental ignorance with incoherent indignance. [...]

[...] Remember: Geraldo’s so over the cliff, his answer to whether any criminal aliens should ever be deported was a blubbering digression about John Lennon. [...]

Sonnyspats1:

Our national sovereignity will not be respected because our very own civil self servants DO NOT RESPECT our sovereignity. Look at Bush, especially! He is interested in his own legacy now. He wants to look good, and those RePUBICHAIRicans who go along with amnesty are hoping that they will not only be viewed favorably and get the Latin vote, but they are also answering to their corporate masters who favor…SLAVE LABOR.

It is unbelievable the damage being done to our country from BOTH political parties.

How strange. Some years ago, Al Gore was SCREAMING that Bush lied and betrayed America (concerning WMD). Well, it seems to me that this has come true concerning our national sovereignity, border security, the rule of law, and our culture/heritage as a nation. At the risk of sounding pornographic, here in the city they sell a GOOD BUSH/BAD BUSH T-shirt. I am VERY TEMPTED to purchase it and to wear it….EL PRESIDENTE JORGE BUSH!!!!

As far as Geraldo is concerned, perhaps we should not be too harsh with him. After all, by him demonstrating his DISHONESTY, he is actually showing how honest he really is…WHEN IT COMES TO APPEASEMENT, PC, BORDER ANACHARY, AND RECONQUISTADORE BOWEL MOVEMENT.

Thank God for the boss. Also, let us also be grateful for Mark Levin and Laura Ingraham who also inform us accordingly.

The existing rules and regulations that apply to all immigrants apply to the illegals. These are the standards that have to be met to qualify for US citizenship. Period end of story. Whats all the hub bub. The Mexicans have invaded this country and are now kicking up a shit storm to try and belie the facts. The whole lot of them need to go back to square one and respect the sovereignty of the US. This is equivalent to a military invasion and we as citizens should not hesitate to turn these people over to the authorities. There is a criminal element to Geraldo’s rat/snitch remarks. Geraldo buy a vowel it’s called honesty! MM is totally right to emphasize the importance of this issue. It is amazing how Geraldo exposes his dishonest core on National TV.

Heh Heh Did someone say Joey Buttafuoco?

And I thought Joey Buttafuoco was the supreme idiot.

Nope, Not while Geraldo has a platform.

I’m curious. How do illegals pay into Social Security if they don’t have SS#’s? Are they using fake SS#’s to get a job and the employer is making payments in the name on the fake id?

ctmom on June 15, 2007 at 8:33 AM

I was told a few years ago that illegal aliens can get something called a tax ID number. It is not a SSN, but it IS a form of ID for the purpose of tax payment. So some illegal aliens DO pay taxes, based on the explanation given to me.

Uhh…where does it say that all illegal immigrants are criminals, and commit a crime every day just by being here? That’s what Bryan said. It’s not there dude.

By the way, in some jurisdictions, exceeding the speed limit by over a certain number of MPH IS considered a crime. And they WILL take you directly to jail, and keep you there until you can make bail or appear before a judge under CRIMINAL charges, and it will go on your ‘criminal record’ in that jurisdiction.

Ok, if you can point to the criminal code of the United States and prove me wrong…

I’ll save S.L. the trouble:

Check out US CODE:
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part II > § 1182
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part IV > § 1226
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part IV > § 1227

Furthermore, if you get a speeding ticket, you do not have a “criminal record.” If you get a parking ticket, it doesn’t go on your “criminal record.”

Ok, if you can point to the criminal code of the United States and prove me wrong, then go right ahead. But illegal immigration is not in the criminal code, and by definition, not a crime.

Not everything that is illegal is a crime. There’s a difference!

It’s rare to see the difference between conservatives and liberals on such obvious display like it was in this debate. Geraldo resorted to emotional arguments throughout

Didn’t Michelle invoke 9/11? I believe that would qualify as an emotional argument. Implying Rivera represents the “liberal side” is ridiculous anyway…conservatives and liberals alike are united in thinking he’s a total douchebag.

Geraldo often seemed at a loss for arguments, resorting to sighing or filibustering.

so would it have been better for him to interrupt her rather than sigh? I guess you would think so because Malkin certaintly had no problem interrupting him.

Michelle SPANKED Geraldo.

CrimsonFisted on June 14, 2007 at 8:38 PM

And I think he liked it.

He kept going back for more.

Hmm talk about population transfer. The irony is killing me.

I was intrigued about Geraldo’s racist reasoning: essentially, that if all these millions of illegals were white, nobody’d be complaining. Turn that coin on its flip side, and it’s Geraldo saying, “If I weren’t Hispanic, I wouldn’t be supporting the innundation of this country by Hispanics

.”

Exactly! The blatant hypocrisy of the OBL and the racist canard is more then I can stand. Just what exactly is LaRaza, MEChA, LULAC et al?

Great job Michelle!

For those too young to catch my refrence…

The Secret of Al Capone’s Vault

My little brother was 1 year old at the time, so many won’t remember.

But seriously, this was back in the days of 4 major network television networks, and Geraldo was built up to be the next Howard Carter at Tutankhmun’s tomb…. But instead of “Wonderful Things” Geraldo found…

Some empty gin bottles.

I actually watched the thing when I was a kid. The shocking level of disappointment after the unjustified promotion for that event was a defining moment remains with me to this day.

Geraldo mentally scarred millions of impressionable members of Generation Y. Perhaps that explains why far more of my peers than those of other generations demand actual results, and not mere empty promises.

28% of violent Federal Inmates are illegal Hispanics. That is a crime rate 6 times the national average, double that of Black males.

Its not a battle, Geraldo is a sentimental wet paper bag and Bill O’Reilly has gone SOFT. Michelle needs to take over on The Factor. americaslaststand on June 15, 2007 at 12:33 PM

Man, isn't that the truth. Bill has become a total pee you ess ess why with a capital 'P', one who stakes out 'middle' positions for the sake of showing that he's really an independent. Thus, in addition to the above-referenced pejorative, he's also a total phony. Michelle's appearance on his show is about the only reason to watch anymore, which is why I just tune into the videos here instead.

Michelle!! You thrashed Geraldo without mercy, went straight for the jugular and on top of everything you turned his own projected racism against him!! How deliciously evil! I’d propose to you now if you weren’t already married!
