A day without...

the problem with that logic is it's self policed by government, whose main purpose is to grow government

Everyone wants to think that they are indespensable or irreplaceable these days-

But the Old Lady apparently saw what was behind yesterday's empty gesture a long time ago.

"'We're on strike,' said John Galt. When asked why, he replied: "Why should this seem so startling? There is only one kind of men who have never been on strike in human history. Every other kind and class have stopped, when they so wished, and have presented demands to the world, claiming to be indispensable -- except the men who have carried the world on their shoulders, have kept it alive, have endured torture as sole payment, but have never walked out on the human race. Well, their turn has come. Let the world discover who they are, what they do and what happens when they refuse to function. This is the strike of the men of the mind, Miss Taggart. This is the mind on strike."

Robots don't go on strike.

"Artoo, who is John Galt?"

They said they were going to miss work, and were told they needed to be there for contracted jobs. They still chose not to come to work. The company is the one at fault now? Im going to try that argument with the IRS. Ill let you know how far i get.

The issue isn't immigrants - hell, just about everybody's family were immigrants at some point.

The issue isn't with Ellis Island types who did it "right" when they came to the US - the issue is with illegal/undocumented/unauthorized/not-suppose-to-be-here immigrants who don't have citizenship, aren't Permanent Residents, or don't hold visas.

Progressives know this, yet continue to use wholly-inclusive language to make their opposition seem more extreme on the issue than they actually are.

And the issue is partially with us, because we allow the left to continue to subvert the meaning of words so much that, a needed conversation becomes so convoluted, that no one knows what the hell anyone is even talking about. In this example, we`ve allowed the left to call illegals, simply "immigrants". They then make comments about those evil people who are so openly against "immigrants and immigration". It`s despicable.

As usual, the news seems to not make a distinction between legal and illegal immigration.
And fails to point out that if America is so bad (like the news says), then why do so many people want to come here.

They want to fundamentally change it to their liking.

And it has gotten more pernicious recently too. Only a short time ago did the media attempt to rebrand illegal immigrants as "undocumented immigrants". Now all pretense has gone and the media just refers to them as immigrants.

Only they`re not immigrants at all if they`re here illegally, they`re illegal aliens. Words matter, words carry weight, use them appropriately.

 

[2A_Tom]

Words matter, they have meaning.

The only way to get around it is to change the meaning. This is the method of leftists. They are succeeding.

Our problem is we have no offense, because we never wanted to fundamentally change America.

Now that leftists have made such deep inroads into the fiber of America we can go on the offensive, the problem is they are more experienced than we are.

Yessss. Immigration was always meant to be an orderly process governed by rules and bounded by the needs of the nation, not the desires of those wishing to emigrate

Slipping across the border is nothing less than slow-speed invasion

I`ve heard John Hagee say that immigration without assimilation is an invasion.
