Hey, lets go ahead and open up that border, and let all 90+ million roam to their hearts content. We can then move south to a now empty land, and let the idiots wonder where all the producers and taxpayers went. Oh yeah, then they'll want us to send money north so their welfare payments won't stop.
bear, what are you complaining about, aren't you one of them illegals getting all the free stuff?
No, I am a LEGAL immigrant. I am inviting the criminals to go home. They have no honor, manhood, or place here.
Why don't you PROVE you aren't illegal...because I'm pretty sure you are, and will be until you prove other wise...

Pretty easy to forge a passport isn't it..? So let's see this "proof," mr. illegal..
No anonymous comments, please.
but that IS my account...what do you have against anonymous?
Ok, ok - anything for Queen Vic..
bear,
I calculate that it would require approximately 300,000 40 seat school buses to send all those illegals back. You may have hit upon something.
