Wait…but you won’t be one of those will you? By you own admission you will submit to your gun grabbing overlords.

I break the law on a daily basis, practically by existing. And don’t even get me started on the difficulty of being a business owner.

The truth of the matter is, my right to keep and bear arms is constitutionally enumerated in the Bill of Rights. Non-citizens have no such right to be here. As I said up-thread, they are here at the pleasure of our government and we don’t need a reason at all to ask them to leave. If this bothers you Willie, bite me.

You don’t need ill intent in order to break the law, which you did by your own admission. You were lucky enough to not get caught by a system of people who don’t care, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

Good, because I sense there will be plenty good conservatives breaking the “law” when or if certain states, or god forbid the U.S. government, passes gun legislation.

Wait…but you won’t be one of those will you? By you own admission you will submit to your gun grabbing overlords.

have contributed to this country and continue to contribute. I have to ask you the following questions:

1) Have YOU contributed anything to the US economy in terms of creating jobs?
2) Have YOU ever broken a law?

Chances are you will admit that yes, you have broken a law. So how is it OK for YOU to break a law and not me? Are you actually going to suggest that as a US citizen, you have more right to break the law than me? LOL.

The sense of entitlement is strong with this one.

Oh and by the way, what do you mean by you “question my motives”? Do you think that I’m here as part of some nefarious plan to steal from America, or some other kind of skulduggery? Lay off the drugs pal.

Liars are unbelievable.

Pimps, thieves, traitors, whores and crooks, one and all.

How was that possible? How did you drive (“never drove without one”) and yet not have a DL?

I appreciate your acumen as to your financial success and responsibility as you’ve relayed it there but you write often about how you “found yourself” engaged in illegal activity after activity…found yourself here illegally, found yourself overstaying your visa, etc., while not admitting that you either were not cognizant of what your tourist visa (or work or medical or student, whatever, visa) permitted you to do as to your stay here OR you were defying your visa terms. No one simply, oh, ho-hum, look at that, my visa is now in expiration and I’m still here, how’d that happen…

You gained legality by marrying a US citizen. I’d say that was really convenient…

I question your motives, though. You remained here illegally, you also engaged in more illegality almost certainly while here, yet now you’re promoting some sort of “ease” of our laws. No surprise there.

RE: the driver’s license. I did not drive without a license. I never said that. Please read more carefully. I said that a license would be handy as ID, but I’ve gotten around that. Meaning, I use another form of ID.

Next you accuse me of saying that I “found myself” doing this or that illegally. Didn’t use the phrase once in my post. Again, please refrain from being dishonest about what I said. In actual fact, I did get into a situation where I had outstayed my visa a little and had to make the choice whether or not to go home. I chose to stay, and you will never ever make me regret that.

Are you actually questioning the validity of my marriage? Stay classy dude…and like it or leave it, gaining legality by genuine marriage IS legal. You complain about me breaking US law, and when I get my green card 100% legally, you’re not happy about that either. Tough.

I have contributed to this country and continue to contribute. I have to ask you the following questions:

1) Have YOU contributed anything to the US economy in terms of creating jobs?
2) Have YOU ever broken a law?

This like most other issues we discuss doesn’t even matter any more. We’ve already gone too far down this road to turn back. We lost on this issue just as we’ve lost on the others, betrayed by our own.

DFCtomm on January 13, 2013 at 5:18 PM

You do know how right you are don’t you? Our party has been so exclusive where the Democrats are inclusive. We eat our own…dems unite. Going to lose gun control debate too. Bet on it. We never set the narrative…and 2014 Dems will retake the house

Bet on it. Without Rubio or another strong minority we’ll never win the WH again…

We sure can..by denying and withholding the billions in Federal Funds these sanctuary cities and states suck up and give away to illegals. Let them sue…..they’ll be in court forever and spend millions more they don’t have…and then let their legal citizens and taxpayers see the SHTF and try to explain to them why they’re wasting money on protecting illegals rather than attending to the needs of CITIZENS!.

Next…kill that anchor baby obscenity….reform the 14th Amendment. Leave the second alone.

I would strongly disagree. Rubio is a Bush man, 110%. He was hand-picked by Jeb.

BocaJuniors on January 13, 2013 at 5:08 PM

I think that is mostly true. He didn’t develop any anti-establishment credibility till he decided to ambitiously cut the line, and that was when he lost his establishment support. He, however, was smart enough to hop on the tea-party train as it was leaving the station, like a true politician.

THEY actually work, unlike the white and black men.

Redford on January 12, 2013 at 4:53 PM

And thats kind of offensive to a white man who used to work in construction. I definitely worked hard. There didn’t really seem to be a racial competent too it, there were lazy and hard working guys of every race on our job sites. The lazy ones didn’t keep their jobs for long.

Timin203 on January 12, 2013 at 5:07 PM

Sorry..I should explain. I know there are lazy people in all races, however this thread is illegal immigration related. Ride by any construction site in NC, and you do not see one white or black man who is working. Other than a ‘white’ super, the crew is Hispanic. All of our hog/turkey/chicken farms are Hispanic who work very hard. The most powerful lobbying firm from my state is the ‘hog farmer’.

This is not an illegal problem, it’s the companies on profit off of cheap labor. And why do u think neither party has secured the border? The people who line their pockets profits, so do the congressmen.

betrayed by our own.

DFCtomm on January 13, 2013 at 5:18 PM

By our supposed own.

Marco Rubio has the inside track, I wrote, as the most talented member of the Class of 2010, the Tea Party class that owes little to the pre-existing establishment.

I would strongly disagree. Rubio is a Bush man, 110%. He was hand-picked by Jeb.

There cannot be amnesty until we secure the borders and we push the vast majority of illegals to leave the country due to a lack of jobs, welfare, education, anchor babies and free healthcare.

End the incentives and make them self deport.

A ship at sea has sprung a leak in the hull.

We can:

1. Fix the leak (secure the border).

2. Start bailing (enforce our laws and pass HR 2885, SAVE Act, etc. – implement mandatory E-Verify to promote attrition through enforcement).

3. Declare the incoming seawater to be “cargo” for the 8th time (yet another “amnesty”.

“Amnesty” as it is being used is a misnomer. Granting residency, even without a pathway to citizenship, is a REWARD OF THE ILL-GOTTEN GOODS TO THE CRIMINAL WHO STOLE THEM!!

Anyone advocating “amnesty” should be required to show an example of an illegal activity where REWARDING the criminal with his ill-gotten goods contributes to ending the illegal activity. Maybe try it on burglars in your own neighborhood by awarding them the stolen jewels??

Attrition is the most popular, efficient, humane, just solution.

And listen to this illegal alien explain how it works where it is tried, as in Georgia.

Anyone who advocates “amnesty” is ignoring the 7 failed amnesties so far.

Him or Cruz, I don’t care, I just want our county back…
