The hatred runs deep and so does the paranoia.

Facebook friend shared US Open Borders's photo with a bunch of paranoid crap about some secret plan by the President to use amnesty and welfare to entice Hispanic voters. This is our exchange.

ME: Does anyone remember Bush and Vincente Fox meeting in 2000 and allowing an "open borders" policy for a number of years until Fox was voted out? Does anyone remember the brouhaha over allowing truck to come across the border without inspections. I do believe that Rick Perry was complicit in the open borders arrangements. This policy combined with the neglect of the borders and enforcing immigration laws on the book contributed greatly to issues in the border states. No one seemed to have a problem paying under the table for gardeners, restaurant workers, agricultural workers, construction laborers, etc. Our fine citizenry reaped the benefits of cheap labor sometimes carried out in conditions not unlike slavery.

So after the bankers and finance sector have sucked the wealth out of this nation, it has suddenly become an issue. We use, abuse, and throw away people in this fine Christian nation. We've done it with the Native Americans, with blacks, with the Chinese, the Irish, the Germans, the Japanese, and any other group who was exploited for labor in this nation throughout its history. You use a people in this shameful manner, you have an obligation to them. You just don't take and take from them and dump them like garbage.

1. besides ...

Maybe someone should inform her that the stations being closed are not exactly in the hot entry point areas.

Rather, they are located in NORThERN Texas (Lubbock, Amarillo, Dallas, San Angelo, Abilene and San Antonio), and Billings, Mont.; Twin Falls, Idaho; and Riverside, Calif.

Further, people should be informed that the personnel of the closed stations will be re-allocated to the Yuma, Tucson and Southern Texas sectors, AKA Border Sectors.

I was just told by this woman that " the ones that were here ,, were offered a one TIme amensty deal furing the Reagan years .. the new ones coming and coming and coming .. are not being used and abused they are coming to use and abuse our system".

I had to remind her that there GWB was president in the 2000s.
