    Funny quote, as none of the current wave of illegals will ever see it. Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty are not anywhere near Mexico and our Southern border. That quote, if aimed at anyone , is aimed at legal immigrants who used to come in that way. Not the "brown lettuce pickers" who (*)(*)(*)(*) on our laws and skitter over, and under the border fences.

    Indeed. I always laugh when that Emma Lazarus poem is invoked in the context of illegal immigration at our Southern border.
    Nobody jumped off the ships that brought immigrants to Ellis Island for screening and processing and swam ashore illegally knowing that Uncle Scam
    would make their children citizens, pay for their education, medication, food, college tuition, etc. AND work full time to legalize their presence here despite blatantly peeing all over our laws.

    Yosh.... if there wasn't work in the US, do you honestly think that anyone from Mexico would try to go there?

    Undoubtedly some would, dazzled by the array of freebies and give aways our social welfare safety net can provide to the parents of citizen children. Why kill yourself working when you can sit home and let Uncle Scam support you?

    Why? Are you claiming that Mexico is filled with the most perfectly moral people on earth who would not take what does not belong to them?
    After living in California for about fifty years I can tell you for a fact that's not true!

    I live in Mexico. I know many Mexican people. They are my neighbors and my friends. We speak about this often. No one that I know here knows anyone who has left for the US for any reason other than making more money there than they can here. And when the construction jobs in particular started opening back up here, many Mexicans came back to Mexico because they could make more money HERE than they could there. AND... the health care is worlds better here than there as well.

    You beat up on PALTROW and we'll take down BACHMANN AND PALIN! Of course one of these women is not and was not asked for run the country and
    wasn't in congress. Go figure. Do I really give a flying fig about a 26 year old woman 'civilian' who gushes at a private event over a politician??

    What am I missing here??

    A Jewish multiculturalist wrote this nonsense, and a Zionist to boot.

    Why do you hate whites?

    Ironically you are talking to Mexicans in Mexico
    and using them as examples of people who would not move to the US when there are literally hundreds of thousands of Mexicans who already have.

    As long as the lure of free money and services exists as an option for at least some of these illegals it's absurd to claim it's not an inducement.
    When the Mexican social safety net (if there is one at all) matches the American model let me know. Until then your anecdotal evidence doesn't really convince.

    They are only here to make a dollar. What does this say about their loyalty?

    Why are you favoring Mexicans over Europeans and other nationalities?

    and I suppose other nationalities are more loyal?

    And when did I ever say I was favoriting Mexicans?

    - - - Updated - - -

    convincing you of anything is nowhere near my bucket list. I know Mexicans who have gone to the US and I know those who have gone and come back. Economics and employment potential always drive the problem.... not some pie in the sky dream of a social safety net.

    - - - Updated - - -

    why would you purposely make stuff like that up?

    Is it part of your comedy schtick?

    Not all of them, but at least Europeans assimilate and mostly leave their loyalty from the countries they came from.

    It seems like you are by always defending Mexicans and latino multiculturalism.

    Well, he is very handsome and is quite charming. Are you saying you think he is not handsome and charming?

    There are so many examples of this why do you bother? Why would you try to convince me of something I KNOW not to be true?

    You are on the side of minorities and are pro-multicultural.

    Most snake oil salesmen are. That's how they fleece the stupid people in society.

    I am certainly multicultural, but that, in no way, means that I hate whites. Self loathing has never been anything I do.

    The only 'sense of urgency' I get from Ms. Paltrow is to 'consciously decouple' my TV from the station she's appearing on.

    If you like white people than why are you in favor of replacing us and our culture? Multiculturalism discriminates against white people.

    Conservatives keep thinking they are smart, I just have yet to see one exhibit any intelligence. I have been waiting since 1980 to find one.
