Nancy Pelosi: 'Race Has Something To Do With' Delay On Immigration Reform

[Merrytooth 5,748]

Whatever

I am less concern about rich people coming over to US for birth tourism if they pay for it out of their own packets..

But for the other fence-jumpers.. they are using free medicaid which are paid by US taxpayers like me.

According to the links posted, I see that the Chinese who are coming over to US to have US citizen kids, are paying like $30,000 for child-bearing trip to the US.

So how much are the fence-jumping people paying for anchor babies here?

The thing about the pregnant chinese ladies,

is that they leave with their child, after birth.

For the last 30 years, this 'anchor baby' concept - illegal aliens 'thought' they would be able to remain in the USA if birthing a child here. Sure, for them, is against the law, but no one in The Kenyan's administration is actively enforcing the law.

Now there's a push to 'legalize' their parents' presence. That's a piece of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform, and I'm totally against it.

Both areas are cottage industries in California.

My point precisely. Both are abusing the system equally.

I never "claimed" he was racist.

He just don't want a lot of brown paper bag colors in the U.S. Some people are into the whole pure race thing. And they can if they want to. It their beliefs.

And so what if he got a couple of praises for one thing (gave some money) he did in Africa while slaughtering thousands of others including Americans.

Okay, you never said the word "racist". You said, "We know the Republicans does not like anything darker than a piece of paper. Look at what Bush did to that boat of Haitian refugees that time."

In my opinion, someone not liking anything darker that a piece of paper sounds pretty racist to me - even if you didn't say the word. Then you used Bush as your example of that type of person.

It is just sad that you can't admit that he isn't what you think. What he did for the continent of Africa deserves your respect. And yet, for some reason, you can't be open-minded and admit it.

Sorry to borrow from Nature Boy's gig, but you need your own special set of letters.

A. Use really big words to try and make yourself smarter than you really are.

B. Use multiple when unable to formulate an intelligent response

C. Post an image you find from Google

This one is a 'C'

I appreciate the patronage. Sometimes a facepalm is all that is needed, really.

Yes but one accounts for 99.9% of the abuse..

I question the motives of those who want to focus on the .1%

I question the motives of those who give the .1% a pass... All these individuals who abuse the system and make a mockery of the 14th amendment belong to the same group, one not better nor worse than the other.

Secondly that is quite possibly the most ignorant thing to ever come out

Of her mouth. The race card. Always good for some stupidity

Yup. Interesting the folks jumping right on the "yeah, that's *racist*" wagon with Pelosi, without realizing that Nancy's just slinging mud as usual; no substantiation of her claim. It's all just 'chin music'.

[UncleBeer 244]

Nice link Janelle. Be prepared for the haters.

It's starting to look like Su&Marvin and Janelle possibly meant themselves.

Start with doing away with the Birthright citizenship then, it will stop the 0.1%

Thinking about this more, what Nancy Pelosi is doing is brilliant. She's getting more registered Democrats, and at the same time she can deflect any criticism by calling her detractors racist.

What I find really interesting is that the unemployment rate for black folks is twice the national average. I wonder if those folks will still be cheering for Nancy when all these newly minted USCs start taking their jobs? They probably will since the alternative is a bunch of old white male bible thumpers with a few crazy white females mixed in. (See Michelle Bachman)

Uh, sorry to be the bearer of bad news,

but for black folks that want these food processing and construction gigs? These gigs are already taken by illegal aliens.

Therein lies the rub.

You would need a [literal] act of congress and a constitutional amendment in order to do that effectively. The main issue, which is of a moral and historic nature, is that the 14th amendment is essentially a new world concept. One such way to do so would be to use the British system and separate citizenship from right of abode, where carrying American citizenship would not automatically grant right of abode in the US. I believe the constitutionalists would cringe at that notion for it would create a caste system in our society. However way you look at it, will not be an easy fix, and certainly not one carried out without involving a lot of emotions.

I still maintain that the issue is not what happens inside out country so much as what happens at the borders. We need to secure the borders first and prevent pregnant women from coming in to have their babies stateside.

He is one of those pure race people, just like I said. Kudos to Bush for helping Africa.

But if I rob a liquor store, kill the clerk and then give the money to the poor, does that make me a good person?
