Thread: Mexican Invasion is a Reasonable Fear

As I was away for a week I had gotten a little behind on local news stories. While catching up today I found a "letter to the editor" story in the Burlington Times News (NC) that somehow got bumped up to a feature article as a guest columnist. Hmmmm, I wonder if Lance is a member of ALIPAC? If not he sure should be! Kudos to Lance for the GREAT commentary! Lance, if you're counted among us already or happen along later please send me a PM. We need to talk!

Xenophobia is defined as an unreasonable fear or hatred of foreigners or strangers. In a recent Times-News article, Ebher Rossi tossed that word around to describe en masse, Republicans, and anyone agreeing that felons should be arrested and deported.

How is it that he can so cavalierly dismiss the fear people are expressing as not only valid, but warranted?

Elvira Arellano illegally entered our country in 1997. After being apprehended and deported, she returned and gave birth to an “anchor babyâ€

Excellant post

ditto. great post and great article

BTW- If anyone else agrees with Lance please go to the link provided, rate and comment on his article. The Times publishes comments on the most popular story and we can get some more play out of this one with a little help from the team! Jump on this like Lindsay Graham on a soft taco! Go PAC! (Warning: the "comments" feature on the site is a bit trying but stick with it and you can make it work for you.)
