Immigrant deaths in Arizona desert soaring in July

Bridges ? we can't afford BRIDGES ! When I were a lad we had to swim the river with grandma on us backs and her new fridge as well on the way back.

We have level crossings and we cross the tracks at 100mph coz the illegals have ebayed the warning lights

You cant mean the columbia bridges coz that's where the bears and lions live.

I have seen secret nets in the bushes by the river - salmon for the poaching of. I think the poachers ended up as mountain lion food

I got dressed up in a fiber glass fish outfit one night to see if I could tempt the poachers out into the open. The police saw me and drew their guns.

I said "Don't shoot me - I'm just the piranah player"

Thanks for reinforcing my point.

I'm not exactly sure where I mentioned a Republican. I was merely wondering if I were under a duty to report myself as potentially partially illegal.

Sad to say but you would more likely to be locked up for a mental exam.

Well then, I'll just get back to fondling my blue passport.

Hum there's an advantage that hasn't been mentioned before - not even on the USCIS site

[Captain Oates 911]

The two above lose the argument and then go off on a tangent about republicans :rofl: So predictable.

What ? we were talking color so Mr ####### sprung to mind. His color is nothing to do with his politics - after all the president is browner than him.

I bet you have noticed that though

And it feels so nice to fondle too.

Your passport must be ancient!

(PS. I knew what you were referring to, just taking the mick. )

That I do not know, but the data is definitely an eye opener. So much for the notion that America is anti-immigrant. Not so sure if we should be, considering the present circumstances. After all, the federal government is supposed to be looking out for the best interests of the citizenery. Not so sure they are.

I am am sure it is just coincidental, but according to your chart, immigration rates were tapering off to zero before FDR took office, and then started to grow again, from 1940 on.

It ain't my chart. I may be entitled to my opinions, but I ain't entitled to the facts. It wasn't FDR's alien registration of 1940 that slashed immigration, it was the country's consensus that immigration levels were not appropriate for the economic conditions. Something the present assclowns in power gloss over as they try to figure out how they can bamboozle the American public into the immigration policy that is in their best political interests.

Three presidents ordered deportations around that time. Hoover, Truman and Eisenhower.

The low point was the decade of the 1930's. I would think the Great Depression and the Great Dust Bowl had something to do with immigration levels, as normal migration patterns were being displaced by another migration of folks leaving the Midwest for jobs in California, something as portrayed in the Grapes of Wrath.

Any more on that? Immigration levels increased consistently post WWII.

Operation Wetback was aimed specifically at Mexicans. Public sentiment turned against the action after reports of many US citizens including children and even Native Americans getting swept up in the raids. If El Buscador remembered this he should have used it in his arguments against the new Arizona law.

Yes, the estimates were something like 1 million left the country (which was practically all). Interestingly, I think more left out of fear than actual deportation.

All to Grand Moff Tarkin's joy.

I believe Steven has used the argument against that law if I've read him correctly. Not a bad one to use either.
