What part of 'illegal' immigrants do the liberals not understand. This is an invasion. It's just Obama, but both political parties.

Just read a new book (A Time To Stand by Oliver) & it's about a small town in America that finally stands up to federal tyranny & bureaucrats!

I strongly recommend it to everyone cause the nxt 3 yrs. doesn't look pretty. What's nxt for the democrats after health care is passed? giving citizenship to illegal aliens just before the 2010 elections so the democrats can stay in office. Read it
