A Sign of Controversy Over Immigration

There are 75 of them in Southern California. One towers above my neighborhood Jack- in-the-Box â€â€

Sir,
The only acceptance of illegal aliens you will find in Texas is we are running them out of this state by withholding jobs, WIC, emergency room treatments, tearing down vacant houses. Apparently you haven't you
heard? This is not an illegal alien state. Many have started to move on.
Perhaps they can go to your house and where the other people live who
don't mind their new found arrogance.

This particular statement of NON FACT explains the ignorance of the author....

The world already eats our food, listens to our music, speaks our language, spends our currency

1. We're producing LESS food than ever before

2. And here's the biggy
OUR CURRENCY HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE EURO........Even China and Russia will be using the EURO in their new OIL deal. Go to Europe and try to give our dollars away! Much more difficult now.

Now, that's HUGE NEWS and mightu IMPORTANT

"If," Liberman told me, "I put up a sign that had Big Ben in the middle of the L.A. skyline and put my newscasters in tweed jackets and said 'the best British news on the market,' nobody would think I'm telling people the British are coming."

What a bogus argument. How about a sign with Big Ben saying "wecome to LA, Great Britain". That would be a similar action, if we were being invaded with people from the British Isles.

Thank God we're not, since Pat doesn't like English people. She goes on to display her own dismay at that thought with this gem:
