I agree with the protestors; hard-working illegals ought to be able to earn amnesty.
I'd say that we shouldn't felonize illegal immigration, and that we should certainly ALLOW them to work towards legal residency and then, eventually, citizenship

That's not what's happening. These people are saying that the immigrants have no right to protest, yet the 1st amendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Who are the people? Clearly, congress can't abridge the rights, but are "the people" just citizens, or just legal residents or all residents? I lean towards the latter (all residents), at least, for this amendment.
Racism against whites is just as bad as any other racism. Black hatred of whites, especially in the context of Farrakhan (sp.) is just as bad as white hatred of blacks.

Although it's reasonable to boycott, ditto, ML.

Not neccessarily. It doesn't require trickle down theory to know that everyone gets richer over time, at least, in theory.

And two, I don't see how people can get so angry at people wanting to work their way to citizenship. They're working for US. They want desperately to become citizens. And most importantly, these protests are AMAZINGLY organized today.
Quite so. Illegals come here to better their lives. We shouldn't be turning them away! We should embrace them and their willingness to come here-to work for us and our nation!

Really? It passed already? I thought it was just proposed legislation.
I said apparently. I had heard that it had been passed. "Possessing marijuana, cocaine, and even heroin will no longer be a crime in Mexico if the drugs are carried in small amounts for personal use, under legislation passed by the Mexican Congress.
The measure given final passage by senators late Thursday allows police to focus on their battle against major drug dealers, the government says, and President Vicente Fox is expected to sign it into law." (Boston Globe)
Fox just has to sign it, then it's law. Still, it seems kind of useless to let people posess these substances if they can't be sold.

That's not a question. Die.
Yeah, I know. My question is: Why are so many drugs that don't actually physically harm you (and are not addictive) illegal?
Uh... didn't LSD had the risk of causing severe mental imbalance after a not very prolonged use?
"The drug sometimes spurs long-term or even permanent changes in a user's personality and life perspective." (Wikipedia.org) I see.
Still: "Although LSD is generally considered nontoxic, it may temporarily impair the ability to make sensible judgments and understand common dangers, thus making the user susceptible to accidents and personal injury."
Ok, so treat it like alcohol, that's the only really neccessary precaution.

Golf will be a lot less sissy if all golfers have to strike below par, while at the same time wrestling bears.
If you score over par, by 1, you get a ball stuck in your butt. 1 ball for every par up to 5. After 5, you get a driver stuck in there.

Sounds good. Do you want to teach, play professionally or go into the industry, perhaps?
True. Growth, at least in a liberal market economy, is essentially inevitable. So, presumably, wage increases are inevitable too.

Not really. As ML said, whites, as the majority in the US (not for too much longer), don't really have to be concerned.
Apparently, this law was passed, yes, in mexico.
Question: I don't see any reason for illegalization of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). No toxicological studies have proven it to be deadly...

Where are you applying?
Saran wrap over the toilet seat.
What about covering a few key things in some sort of chocolate sauce to give the appearance of feces?
The minimum wage has decreased in value over the years. Simply put, yes, those on the minimum wage ARE getting poorer (if they work 1 job).

While you have no source, I'll assume that is about right.
Mind you, those are the legal immigrants making minimum wage.
How do YOU know if they're legal?
The illegals make only a fraction (less than half, IIRC) than that.
Again, source?

Sounds fun. If that happened, people would WATCH the olympics.
By the way: All sports not currently in the Olympics are now downgraded to 'activities'.

Yes, of course. Human rights (political and social ones) except for the right to vote, apply to illegals as well.
