Man I have to tell you, I haven't heard of any white racist extremists trying to take away the vote of blacks in this country. Are you saying that all persons who disagree with the idea that we should give illegal aliens the right to vote and or citizenship are white racist extremists? That would be a pretty broad stroke of the brush...:rolleyes:

Well stated. I find the birther movement to border on lunacy. Who frigging cares already, he already got elected by an overwhelming majority. The same majority that just kicked out a huge number of incumbents in Congress. That is how it is suppose to work.

I suspect RichLevy was speaking to the children born here in the US of parents who were illegal alients. These children are US citizens by birthright.

There are some who are not accepting of the 14th Amendment and who do want to disenfranchise these American citizens.

Calling them "white racist extremists" are Merc's words, but if it walks like a duck....

What if it walks like a dick?

No, no, you're making it overly complicated. It's blatantly obvious the only people fit to vote are the ones that agree with me. See how simple I... I mean it, is. :D

OK xoB, but you've got to stop being so wishy-washy

Are you saying that all persons who disagree with the idea that we should give illegal aliens the right to vote and or citizenship are white racist extremists? Or just those who want to prevent the children of illegal aliens from becoming US citizens white racist extremists?

We didn't have a problem when Japs were mowing the lawn.

When we lived in Hawaii all the Filipinos did the yard work, everywhere. They don't have a problem there either. :) All the Japs owned all the property.

I haven't yet said anyone was a "white racist extremist". Those are your words.
My words were "if it walks like a duck..."

There have been 3 groups in this thread, so far:

a) illegal aliens which (I assume) refers to "adults"
who made the decision to enter the US illegally

b) children of (a) who were brought into the US with those adults, and
since they were children they could not make their own decisions.

c) children of (a) who were (or will be) born here in the US, and so are US citizens,

And it would not surprise me if there were other situations or groups.

I believe RichLevy's post, and certainly my mine above, were in reference to (c).

Which group do you wish to talk about ?

Rich made the tie between your choice c) and white racist extremists in this statement:

I was asking if he viewed those who oppose c) as being the same kind of people. I asked you the same question. And you implied you agreed with your "walks like a duck" statement, and yet you refuse to answer. Which is it?

As specifically related to (c), I prefer RichLevy's words to yours.
"If it walks like a duck... " is up to each person's own interpretation.

Let me ask...
Do you agree that all current and future children in group (c) are now and should always be citizens of the US ?
Or, do you advocate changing that ?

Answer the question first. Why are you guys refusing the obvious. You are beginning to box yourself into the answer you refuse to acknowledge.

OK, Merc.
I'm not into calling names

I can easily say that I oppose the idea of changing the 14th Amendment
to disenfranchise the citizenship of anyone born in the territorial USA (i.e., group (c))

I don't know the skin color, the racial motives, or how extremist the person is who wants to change that,
so I won't go down the "white racist extermist" name-calling road with you, if that is your intent.

As to the other issues of US immigration policies, such as groups (a) and (b),
my feelings (right this moment) are that if a person can't deal with group (c),
there's not going to be a whole lot of rational discussion to follow.

Is that enough from me, or what is it you really want to know or show ?

So basically if a Prego woman pays a human smuggler to get her across the border before she has birth you are ok with that, and so you support human smuggling operations South of the Border which exploit people? Wow, I would not have expected that of an avowed liberal.

I did not bring it up so don't try to displace it on to me, Rich made the connection. You bought into it with your "duck" comment. All of that is on the two of you guys, not me....


I really can't believe that you can continue to not answer the questions put to you....

Why do you avoid the question? Wow.... I really expected more out of a more mature person than what you are currently avoiding... :rolleyes:
