A History of Amnesty
Proponents of another new amnesty for illegal aliens fail to acknowledge the history and net effect of previous amnesties. Many Americans believe that there has been only one prior amnesty, the Immigration and Reform Control Act (IRCA) of 1986. In fact, including IRCA, there have been seven amnesties since that time, using the misnomers of “reformâ€
For everyone who is old enough to remember America before 1986 ... do we need another amnesty?
We missed the "road closed" sign, we're on the edge of the cliff, do we pull a Thelma and Louise or do we back her up and fix the road?

My sentiments exactly. Lets back up and fix the road. Lets do our jobs. Lets get these people out of here like we should have done in 1986 and every single day since.Quote:

Now another question. Anyone who is old enough to remember the 86 Amnesty, did you really think that it would not look like it does today? Did we not know it was wrong and would lead us to this very spot in time? Was a degree in rocket science really needed to predict the outcome? Did one really need an IQ higher than that of a mushroom to see the damage that an act such as amnesty would create?
And who was the brilliant conservative of the day?
No slack for traitors!

I am among those responsible. I lived in the Northeast. I do not believe I ever saw an illegal. I was, stupidly, unaware of the threat. Our President was Reagan. I felt that if Ronnie were for it, it was probably OK. I did not look behind the curtain. I knew Kennedy was involved and I did not trust him--but --again, I thought Prez Reagan would veto it if it was bad. It was estimated to be one to one and a half million people.
Today, I would put them all on trains and buses and send them back--regardless of age and time in country. I sincerely believe, just from looking around me and paying at6tention that there has to be 30 million here. The estimates for Georgia are three fourths of a million,. I visit Louisiana and NY/CT to see my children. I will not list every single town and city, but Danbury, CT --overrun with Brazilians. Putnam and Westchester County--- in very store, on the streets. Portchester NY --infested with them and a Fed judge just created an unbelievably un-American rule so that they can have a Hispanic councilman in the city. New Orleans--zillions.
It wasn't until the last 6-8 years that I had my eyes opened. However, they will be shut in death and I will never, never understand the liberals who argue that we are a country of immigrants and, like lemmings march together to the destruction of the greatest republic in the history of man.
I am in my late 70s and it may happen before I die.
We all knew. We all knew it was wrong. He should have never ever agreed to it. Then there were 6 more after his. It's time to put the car in reverse, back up, and go fix the road. It's time to get these people out of here and keep them out. No mercy, no exceptions, no bias, no preference. All illegal aliens, 100%, must be deported with their families intact, no minor children abandoned here. No Child Left Behind.Quote:

If the Republicans cannot, or will not uphold the laws of this land, will not pay attention and uphold the Constitution of this land, then they should be exposed as the traitorous scum that they are. They should be........ :evil: We should all realize that the money spigot has been opened wide, some have received just what they wished for. The Republican Party leaders cannot be allowed to act as though they are all blind men and did not see this freight train coming down the tracks. The whole lot of both parties have been selling our country for nickels.Quote:

I refuse to carry water for a party led by leaches and worms!
misterbill, I remain optimistic in the long run. Americans are waking up, each and every day. There is no stopping the awakening. It may very well get ugly, but we Americans will win out. Who the heck wants to live under the totalitarian thumb?
Is the Tea Party Anti- Amnesty or Pro-Amnesty?

I was 10 years old in 1965 and my whole world was Sunset Park, Brooklyn. It was in that year that my world started changing as many, many friends and neighbors started moving away. My own family moved away in 1969. I didn't understand what was happening at the time or more importantly, why it was happening.Quote:

Fast forward to 1988. Hong Kong was soon to be repatriated with mainland China and many Chinese of means thought it would be a good idea to migrate to America to protect their wealth. At that time there were already 2 Chinatowns in NYC, the famous one in Manhattan and a second in Queens. They shared one very vital link, both were along the N line of the NYC subway system. Ah but growth of those communities was limited so they looked along the N line and saw that it had a stop at 8th Ave. in Brooklyn. 8 being considered a lucky number in the Chinese culture this neighborhood became their target of opportunity.
It started slowly as the wealthy Chinese immigrants over paid for properties and businesses in the area. They even were willing to pay tenants of apartment buildings large sums of money to move out. Of course their new tenants became poor Chinese immigrants (mostly Illegal) who heard word of opportunity in America. Once again it started as diversity but ended in total displacement.
An interesting fact though is that a great deal of the displacement happened to the Puerto Rican community that had formed in the late 60's. This caused a period of racial tensions between the 2 groups for a number of years (most noticeably from 95-2002) but anyone who didn't know the area had no way to learn this. Not only the MSM of NYC but also the small local news papers of the neighborhood failed to report anything about it.
To listen to the politicians of NYC one could only conclude that this is the way it has always been and always will be. In my old age I have learned to read between the lines though and now realize that race and ethnicity were never the real factors in this process of displacement. It is actually the economic circumstances. Once a large portion of any recent migratory group reaches middle class through years of service/work they had better start looking over their shoulders because the next wave of poor, usually from a different background, will be encouraged to displace them.
And all that immigration was illegal without the consent of the states affected by it. What a shame.Quote:

Now, that's "Change" I can believe in.
:wink:
It's not going to happen again! If we would have had the internet back then they would not have gotten away with amnesty.
What we should be doing NOW! How dare these traitors do this! I am so mad/furious with these overcompensated crooks.Quote:
