There's no need to "restore" the second amendment, it hasn't gone anywhere.

Not to mention inaccurate, as there is hardly a "tidal wave" of illegals, especially since the economic crash. Funny thing is, before the border war was intensified by yahoos, illegals used to come here for seasonal work that Americans didn't want to do, make some money, then go home until the next year. The more we enforce the borders, the more we make them stay here. One of the unintended consequences that happens whenever we try to enforce unjust laws. That's just fact, check out illegal immigration demos from the past 75 years. We went from moderate two-way flow to massive one-way flow, although lately no one really wants to come here anymore comparatively speaking.

Funny thing about 2nd amendment zealots is that they never seem to care all that much about the other 9 in the Bill of Rights. Not that it's not important, but I'd say the 2nd is by far the least trampled of the bunch in the past decade. And yet that was the only one Thunder mentioned, predictably enough.

Please explained to me how we have an estimated 20 million illegals since the 1986 Reagan amnesty? If your theory was correct, we would have a fraction of that if the worked and went home. I see you buy into the "doing jobs Americans won't do" malarky. Just curious, who did these jobs before we had this epidemic of illegals? I'll save you the time. Legal immigrants, teenagers, and low IQ Americans typiclly did these menial jobs.

Even with that, there are too many senseless restrictions. The fact that we can't carry, is a violation of our rights.

Legal immigrants, teenagers, and low IQ Americans typiclly did these menial jobs. Blacks and Irish mostly, and they were legal immigrants by choice or force and there were a shitload of them. Other legal immigrants had already moved up. Obviously now we don't have that large influx of legal immigrants willing to do anything and we never will again. And children of course. Not teenagers, more like 10-year olds. You're not going back far enough when it comes to child labor because it kinda makes Americans look bad, but a lack of child labor laws certainly helped a lot. The lowest classes with the least rights will always do those jobs in any era. Today those are illegal immigrants. Between the social safety nets and a sense of entitlement, you're not turning back the clock and making anyone else do a lot of those jobs again, not even teens and sure as hell not most legals, many of whom are better educated than most on this board. And that is hardly one of the top 100 problems we face today. Last edited on Tue Dec 20th, 2011 04:30 am by srossi ____________________ This thread was great before AA ruined it. |

Legal immigrants, teenagers, and low IQ Americans typiclly did these menial jobs. Dude, you're way off. In my old neighborhood, it wasn't unusual to see white teenagers mow lawns, rake leafs, shovel snow, and wash dishes. Of course, there was always the low IQ adults with no worthy skills that worked with them. I'm not ashamed to say that I washed dishes at my cousins restaurant, pumped gas, and bagged groceries. How's this for killing two birds with one stone. We should seriously slash welfare benefits. These freeloaders will now have to actually work in order to survive. They will finally do what they should have been doing for the last forty years by cleaning toilets, washing dishes, and menial farm work. In doing this, the former welfare recipients will finally gain some sort of dignity. Who knows, they may become decent parents. Last edited on Tue Dec 20th, 2011 04:37 am by BlueThunder |

Because my world begins before Reagan was president. I'm going back further than that. In the '50s and '60s in particular, they came and went every year.

Then you would know that 1.3 million illegalls received a one way ticket back home courtesy of Eisenhower under Operation Wetback. Believe it or not, I'd be in favor ofa true guest worker program. This would have to be monitored very closely.

Your old neighborhood is from the late 1800s - early 1900's? I'm not sure why you're talking about 1970s or '80 suburban middle-class America when I'm telling you about the history of the immigration issue in this country. You're making huge broad generalizations and then when I dispute them you suddenly focus on a very specific time or neighborhood. You can't have it both ways. Anyway, back to books...

Anyway... I just finished reading the first 2 1/3 books of the "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" trilogy - got bored of the discussions of the Swedish secret service in the third book. Now, I've got some other Scandinavian crime fiction I might have a go at, or I might try and get on with the rest of the JFK book (300 pages down, 1200+ to go).
