This book looks like a must read.

…

”We can’t deport 12 million illegal aliens, THEREFORE (sic) we have to give them citizenship.”

I am thoroughly sick of that horsepuckey too, no matter who repeats it! If you can’t get rid of 12 million (really 20 million) then what about 6 million? That will solve half the problem and put the fear of God into the rest.

Do you in your wildest dreams EVER picture yourself bending over all day in the scorching heat to harvest a crop, and then returning HOME in the evening to clean yourself, your clothes, and your children, cook dinner, clean up, and go to bed on filthy disgusting mattresses that may or may not be supported by a bed frame stuffed into a dank cinder block row house?

I have seen this first hand.

The majority of the illegals that I have met are good people. Period.

I am torn on this issue like I have never been torn before.

My solution is to let those who want to stay and work, stay and work.

Bullcrap! Invent a machine to pick the crop! It worked for cotton, wheat, you name it.

Yes, I am sure they are good people. I am also sure that there are a few billion good people in China and India too, but they can’t come here either. Letting in one group because of porous borders (porous like a post Katrina levee, I mean) in adjacent countries is no excuse.

The really big flaw in this argument: If no American wants to do the job, but you make the people currently doing the job Americans, it follows that they won’t want to do the job either. And you can bet their kids won’t, so there comes the next wave to “do the jobs Americans won’t” ad infinitum, ad nauseam.

The solution is for them to make their own countries like ours, not the other way around. We can help by setting up some factories there, buying their products etc.

The rest of the world can’t fit here, and if they could, we would be a third world country. No one goes up, just down. Porous borders let in crime, disease and poverty. It is bad enough to have political diseases like AIDS that we can’t screen for, but an influx of illegals with God know what pestilences is bad for us (and our health care system) period.

Well, to hell with that. We did it before with shamnesty, we can do it again. Put the fear of God into the polticians, and the fear of God in the illegals will follow.

Next time a Greenie get in your face about the farcical “global warming”, ask him/her/it how much pollution illegals driving around in our country make. Ask them how much closer to energy independence we would be without 12 million energy consuming parasites here. Ask them how much less costly our health care and schools would be without illegals. The list goes on, the logic holds.

Resist all attempts at bilingualism. Nestle you are on my sh*tlist. (Try getting a Butterfinger without Spanish inscribed on it.)

Hear, hear!! Sears too! No more long Spanish announcements in the store!

As an aside, did you know that in bright blue Massachusetts, in the 2002 election (the same one that got Romney elected over liberal Shannon O’Brien), Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly supported ballot Question 2, the measure to replace bilingual education in public schools with a sheltered English immersion program? That’s right. Liberal Massachusetts, the same state that gave you Kennedy, Kerry, Frank etc. It wasn’t a sqeaker either: it won by 68 per cent!!

Now you know why the gays and the legislature wouldn’t let Massachusetts voters vote on gay marriage: it never would have passed! Pro-bilinguals claimed such things as “…the majority of voters lacking formal educational curriculum development expertise.” Yeah, like expertise in any of the issues or candidates is what a liberal wants! Ignorance would have served them well. The voters knew exactly what they wanted, and it surprised the pants off them.

This is why we can’t give up on illegal immigration. There is a wellspring of support in this country, even the blue states.

sorry, I read #31 too hastily–my mistake

Don’t forget to read my comments #28 and #33, also. And spend a few minutes at the links I provide to back up my comments.

Hanson repeats the false dichotomy of Bush and McCain (”We can’t deport 12 million illegal aliens, THEREFORE (sic) we have to give them citizenship.”) and is therefore disingenuous in the debate on this subject (and thus disqualifies himself IMHO), just as the PBS moderators were when they used the same false dichotomy as a question on one of the TV debates. No candidate called him on it, and all illegal alien sympathizers like Hanson ignore the single honest poll on this subject.
And they ignore this popular solution which is being proven in four states now.

I can’t wait to read this book.

GEEZ………….

Illegals have it better than us.

However. Have you ever operated a farm? Well have you?

Do you in your wildest dreams EVER picture yourself bending over all day in the scorching heat to harvest a crop, and then returning HOME in the evening to clean yourself, your clothes, and your children, cook dinner, clean up, and go to bed on filthy disgusting mattresses that may or may not be supported by a bed frame stuffed into a dank cinder block row house?

I have seen this first hand.

The majority of the illegals that I have met are good people. Period.

I am torn on this issue like I have never been torn before.

My solution is to let those who want to stay and work, stay and work.

However. I’m confident that if we prevent them from working the system that they will eventually stop coming.

In other words. NO FREE RIDE!

You will die here as easily as you will die there.

The reason I have no problem with letting them die is because I am dieing as I write this.

I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and I can’t afford to pay for the medications that could extend my life and give me piece of mind on a daily basis.

Could I go to the VA, or get Medicare, or work the system in some way that would alleviated my dilemma. Probably.

But that’s not how I was raised. I’d rather die than have the shame of getting a handout from the government that has taken my tax money and paid for illegal immigrants to have a quality of life that I don’t have because they expect the most powerful nation in the world to give them a piece of the american dream while the people who built the american dream sit in silence and wonder what the hell went wrong.

Typhoid Mary anyone?

As a Stanford engineering graduate I am embarrassed that the Hoover Institution employs an “expert” who presents Bush’s tired false dichotomy: “We can’t deport 12 million illegal aliens THEREFORE we have to grant them citizenship” and IGNORES four state ‘laboratories’ where the third (majority) option is having repeatable successful results.

VDH would have flunked engineering and physics (and logic) courses at Stanford.

Close the borders-through a multifaceted effort to beef up security, fortify the easiest transits, fine employers who hire illegals, provide verifiable IDs- and return to the assimilationist model of the past, and by attrition many of our present problems will begin disappearing while we spend years squabbling over amnesties and deportations.

And then he ruins it with the false dichotomy of Bush – “We can’t deport 12 million undocumented immigrants illegal aliens, therefore we have to give them a pathway to citizenship.”:

As long as Republicans can’t be pegged as the pro-mass-deportation party, they do much better. After weeding out very recent arrivals, felons, and those not working on public assistance, there are still several million illegal aliens who may not volunteer to return home or won’t marry US citizens. These longtime working residents need to find some sort of mechanism to apply for a verifiable ID, and then citizenship while legal residents-but after paying a fine, learning English, and going through the citizenship process. Putting 7-8 million on buses en masse to Oaxaca won’t work.

Bullcrap. Hanson ignores his own sage wisdom and ignores this Zogby poll, the only one to offer all three choices. And attrition is working just fine, thank you. Let it complete it’s job without adding more enticements of “some sort of mechanism” to reward law breakers, and thereby encourage and entice another 30 million.

Michelle – do you endorse the book in general, but not Hanson’s views?
