I'm not sure I agree or disagree, and that means stuff is good--to entertain a thought without accepting it.<br /><br />My 2 objections...reservations... are <br /><br />--to importing the failed Latin American culture along with its people. Britain has it even worse of course, the most popular name amond newborns being Muhammad.<br /><br />---and the corollary, that via family unification, we're not importing blank slates to be raised to love the American Way, we're actually importing their parents, the adults, undocumented Democrats.<br /><br />Who vote to repeat the failed [leftist] political philosophy of the places they fled! [And in buying the 'social justice' part, unwittingly empowering the left's dismantling of Judeo-Christian morality.]<br /><br />I mean, I dig Christianity and credit the West's success to it, but wouldn't we be better off importing educated Hindus from India and converting their kids to Christianity [Bobby Jindal] than importing Christians and trying to educate/convert them to a sensible socio-political philosophy?<br /><br />The Hispanic American fatherlessness rate has just shot through the roof, and they still overwhelmingly vote Democrat.<br /><br />This is kind of a new thought, Steve--inspired by your post here--but I hope you see where I'm going with this. It's easier to convert someone to Christianity than away from leftism.<br /><br /><br /><br />Tom Van Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121072404143877596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-10100482924368000122014-07-29T05:06:33.611-05:002014-07-29T05:06:33.611-05:00Steve- I think you articulated this well and thank...Steve- I think you articulated this well and thank you again. Lots of folks are worried about immigrants voting as Dems... might be the only way to change the Democratic party! And in turn force the Republicans to change as well. <br /><br />Bottom line is that if we had not stopped having children there would be no need for the government to allow this mass illegal immigration. But as it is our Social Security system is dependent on these people that will pay into the system with no expectation of ever receiving a benefit.<br /><br />I do support efforts to apprehend all of the illegal immigrants coming across the border for the purpose of trying to cull the criminal element.Doug Pearsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08321954889600414571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-13674961772903394942014-07-28T22:30:08.446-05:002014-07-28T22:30:08.446-05:00Flambeaux, when we changed from an agricultural Am...Flambeaux, when we changed from an agricultural America to an industrial America, did the sky fall? Did the heavens roll up like a scroll?<br /><br />No. <br /><br />To say that the America we know and love is gone and is not coming back is not to say that this is The End (tm). Sure, bucolic America was nice in the 1800s, but it had polio and whooping cough and smallpox and people died from a scratch on their finger.<br /><br />Things will be different. Better in some ways, worse in others. It will be more Hispanic. If you like Tex-mex, that means it will be awesome. If not, not. But this America is passing away.<br />Steve Kellmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509461318016670424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-10896848775535965632014-07-28T13:59:12.665-05:002014-07-28T13:59:12.665-05:00M.R., these people coming across the border are pa...M.R., these people coming across the border are pawns of the criminal cartels in Mexico, Central, and South America. We have enough of a crime problem now without bringing in more fresh recruits from there. And in case you haven't noticed, the Dems are very enthusiastic about bringing these people into the USA. And most of these children weren't children at all. The children were mostly older teenagers, and probably already gang members. And teary ol' Glen Beck was handing out teddy bears to them?! What a moron!

You and others have been hammering this sort of stuff for awhile, Steve. To what end?<br /><br />Since if it is as bleak as you seem to think, I'm not sure why I bothered to try and have the family I do. Hell, if it's all so pointless, I'm not sure why I get out of bed in the morning.

Sad how Latinos are just written off like that, as though they're genetically programmed to vote Democrat or something. That's not the case. If conservatives would greet the immigrants with kindness and help them, like Glenn Beck is doing, it would help their image and may even win some over (not that they should be doing it for that reason, of course). Instead, look at the hate Beck received from many conservatives just for passing out teddy bears! It seems the American Right today can't even do the right thing for cynical, political reasons, let alone out of truly Christian charity.Mystic Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942881240727501358noreply@blogger.com
