    I am not Mexican. I am not even dark skinned (maybe a little beach-tanned, at most). My point is that the political discourse of Stan, espeir, punkinhead and a part of the extremists is not about trying to solve a big problem; it is just the instintive reaction of "kick'em out". They think they can solve a problem with 12 million people the same way they would expulse 10 people. They don't think about the huge amount of logistical, political, economical and ethical complications. Since is just an instinctive reaction it is not reason. That's why facts don't matter. And to be honest, I can't even say I don't like what they say. I don't even dislike espeir, stan and etc. They are too far away from me to do me any harm. Actually I find them a little exotic, in a curious sense; like those exotic people in National Geographic Magazine. At a close look, no one is normal.

    Hopefully not like the women in the remote jungles of Africa that they always seem to find - the ones that run around with their boobs dragging on the ground? I don't want to picture Stan or espeir that way.

      The only pertinent fact is that we simply cannot absorb the entire poverty stricken masses of Latin American regardless of what otherwise wonderful people we might be. It is not our fault that these invaders happen to be of another "race" (what ever the hell that means). We have to drawn a line somewhere. It might as well be here and now. If that means being inhumane than we should be inhumane. We are no more obligated to be suicidally nice people than any other nation on the planet. The three million that were given amnesty in 1986 are now 11 million just as everyone at the time knew would happen. The current 11 million are going to become 30 million. The 30 million will become a hundred million at which point we will simply become a Latin American nation. There is absolutely no legislation that has been offered that has done anything to address this massive infiltration of our society by peoples from disfunctional hispanic nations. Regardless of what it takes we need to immediately begin seriously criminalizing businesses that hire them, and begin shipping them back to Mexico, do whatever it takes to secure the border, and than institute a sane guest worker program. This is absolutely our last opportunity to defend the econmic and social integrity of American culture and avoid massive, perhaps cataclysmic, social unrest in the future.

      What is so exotic about wanting the same migration restrictions that your country maintains? When I see Brazil importing its share of Mexicans, I might consider you as something other than a hypocrit. "You get that which you tolerate"

        That's a hell of a distinction. Do you think walls to keep things out have some magical property that make them more effective than walls to keep things in? Please tell us how that works.

        Well, the big distinction that needs to be made about the Berlin wall, aside from keeping people in, was that it was only the final leg of a no man's land along the border which was enforced by the military with a shoot to kill policy for people looking like they were escaping. Sure, that didn't stop everyone but it was pretty effective. If you raise the ante to a high probabibility of being killed if you're caught, people might tend to think twice before trying. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

            So you propose turning the border into a killing field? How very humane of you.

              I don't recall advocating anything about the US border in my post. People were arguing about why one wall or another was effecive about keeping people in or out. All I did was point out why the Berling "wall" was effective. Thank you for putting words into my mouth. However, I would like to see the Mexican border secured for a number of reasons.

                        It means that natural selection has essentially be removed as a driving force in human evolution. Therefore, since we're developing the capability, human evolution needs to be planned, directed, and controlled if it's to take place. The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance.

                          So morality is going to stop people crossing the border? People are going to get to the fence and see the error of their ways? I think JCs point (and JC can feel free to correct me here) was that walls don't work, not that they are immoral.

                          Huh? no, walls will stop them at the border. JCs' point was it was imoral, just look at the Berlin wall. My distinction was they server diffrent purposes.

                          He made Both points. And I provided proof that walls can be effective, mabe not 100%, but then again, nothing is 100%. My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

                            Again, where does race come in to play? Can you point to anything these people said that was racist? Maybe you disagree with them, but calling them racist makes it look like you are just attacking them because you disagree with them. And it's just plain wrong.
