Then when the Republican party takes rejection of Democrats as a mandate to do whatever the hell the want to do (like the Democrats have done since the repudiation of Republicans last election cycle), I want to slap the dogshit out of the Republicans in turn.
As far as posting here, I feel as though I have said much of the same over the years over and over and over again. I'm out of breath and tired of arguing the same points non stop.
I really am not attracted to the other anti illegal sites, nor do I waste my time posting at pro illegal sites. I'm sick of the racial obsession, racial stereotyping, fabrication and disinformation and name calling on both sides, and have realized I'm not going to change anyone's convictions with rational discussion - or more to the point, what minute rational and respectful discussion there is to be found anywhere concerning illegal immigration.
I think the open borders crowd understands there is not going to be an amnesty for as long as the economy is bad. On the other side, I don't believe there is any faith that the Federal government is going going to meaningfully enforce immigration law anytime soon.
I think there is a lot of quietly seething anger which has a good chance of boiling over and burning the status quo. I just hope it doesn't blow out of control - we don't need a replay of the French Revolution.

Many of us who were involved with Prop. 187 and other comparatively early pro-nationalist campaigns feel fatigued and it seems like a perpetual motion machine to just keep arguing the same points over again. I agree with that. But....I have noticed that the status quo has evolved in our direction and public sentiment is on our side. Look at the popular support for AZ 1070 and if you have followed internet "comments" and discussion boards for the last decade, like I have, you cannot help but notice the change in stated opinions which have gone from hostility to indifferent to outright support for defending against the foreign invasion. People from all over the country are now opposing this alien force.
Will a revolution come? Well we have a government that is openly on the side of an invading army so I would argue that the revolution already took place and our country was snatched away from us while most were not paying attention. The current campaign to put the final nail in the coffin of American sovereignty by crushing American patriotic resistance is perceived as a kind of mopping up operation. How it will end is anyone's guess. Thank God popular American sentiment has finally come to our side. Better late than never.
