Somebody go upside these clowns’ heads – fast!
The Republican National Committee has let go its entire staff of phone-bank people as donations drop faster than your jaw. And nobody’s buying RNC chief of staff Hathaway’s explanation about outdated equipment.
Is there a more reliably red state than Arizona? That’ won’t be the case if the process of the GOP there continuing its hari-kiri goes unabated.
Damn it, listen to us! Seal the border. We can worry about how to humanely take care of the existing problem once we’ve stemmed the invasion.

There goes my theory that it was mostly Republicans who were paying them to be here. If there are as many as 14 Million of them here, who the hell is paying them to eat? And drink? Check out the daily Police Briefs in the local rag. There are always a few and often a few more of “them” listed, by and largely for alcohol and drug offenses. Now we can fill our burgeoning jails with them or we can go after “Da Man” who hires them. With them in jail, their property seized (kinda like what they do to pot growers and dealers), wouldn’t you think these wetbacks would all go home?

Now you want to leap forward and seal the borders. 14 Million of them here now over the 20 years since HE said this, some Government of laws, not men. This might as well have been The Controlled Substances Act of 1970. Who’s paying these people we are all growing to detest?
The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 is the most comprehensive reform of our immigration laws since 1952. In the past 35 years our nation has been increasingly affected by illegal immigration. This legislation takes a major step toward meeting this challenge to our sovereignty. At the same time, it preserves and enhances the Nation’s heritage of legal immigration. I am pleased to sign the bill into law.
In 1981 this administration asked the Congress to pass a comprehensive legislative package, including employer sanctions, other measures to increase enforcement of the immigration laws, and legalization. The act provides these three essential components. The employer sanctions program is the keystone and major element. It will remove the incentive for illegal immigration by eliminating the job opportunities which draw illegal aliens here. We have consistently supported a legalization program which is both generous to the alien and fair to the countless thousands of people throughout the world who seek legally to come to America. The legalization provisions in this act will go far to improve the lives of a class of individuals who now must hide in the shadows, without access to many of the benefits of a free and open society. Very soon many of these men and women will be able to step into the sunlight and, ultimately, if they choose, they may become Americans.

As property seizure was added to the mix in the drug war under Reagan’s rule, so should it be now in the new immigration act being pounded-out again, though we had one that should have suited 20 years ago. That’s likely not going to do it either. We gotta go put a big wall up to keep them out; well, walls hem us in as well. Some freedom! Build a wall. Perhaps I need another crash course in Freedom. I had one in ‘68 in basic training. Where we were brainwashed to believe we were to kill or be killed to stop the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia, aka freedom.

And communism wound up spreading in Southeast Asia.
The big wall won’t hem us in. U.S. citizens will still be free to go wherever the’d like.

Where did it spread to, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, and Singapore? No, it was already in Laos and Cambodia, and after the fall of Saigon, it spread no further, negating the Domino Theory. And none of those countries has bothered us since.
