What is so f-ing crazy is that in a single newscast, Pressitutes will try to scare the hell out of us with Terrorist threats and then follow up with a piece casting Bush in a heroic light follow by a mention of the millions of people in the country illegally and all the while demand we citizens give up our liberties to travel freely and not be monitored while chatting on the phone. Madness. Who is the target here? How real is the threat? Is the threat controlled? If it were this real and imminent, why are unknowns pouring over the border? Millions are here illegally with identities unknown to the government, but mothers have to pour out breast milk when bording a flight from St. Louis to DesMoines or where the hell ever. Wake the hell up. If there is truly a security threat, our government needs to be out there clearing all of the unknowns out and putting them through a legal process. Do that or stop trying to scare the shit out of me with Terrorist stories while leaving the country wide-ass open for anyone to enter. Every effort of the media is calculated to manipulate your dumbass. Where is the logic in any of this?????FAWK!!!

I have to tell you a little bit about where I live and also work. The hiring of all the people in the neighborhood the I am in is now all Polish and Bulgarians, You would not beliee how many Polish and Bulgarians are now taking the jobs. Yes people say that the Mexicans are coming here taking the jobs, but they are not taking jobs away that American want. I have done research on all the immigrants that are allowed her and the American that we have know is now being taken over by Eurpoeans. They are getting all the jobs in the medical field the teaching fields and blue collar management positions. We have to hire them and give them medical (free) to their families. They are also collecting welfare. Or allowed to let their children come to schools and not have to pay for any fees. They are getting free rides and long with the jobs. Just because they are white people why are they allowed to receive the jobs and also free medical care for they families. What is good for one race should be the same for the other races. I have not been given the job I want because a Polish women wanted the job so she got it. What is so funny is that I was even told that they had to hire her because she is from another country that the Government wants to have on their side when wars is happening. She can not even speak English very well. I can Not understand why it is ok for Europeans to come and go as they please and get the jobs the American do want but can not get because they are coming here to take the jobs. I do not understand why this is not brought up. The only thing I ever hear is that Mexicans are taking these jobs. Not true. I tried getting a good job but did not. The position was given to a European. Please check and you will see that there are tons of Russians, Polish, and Bulgarians buying all this property and getting loans to buy the property and claiming they do not have the money to pay back the loan so they do not have to pay since they are not Americans. This really upsets me. I want to get a job but a Polish person gets it because we need Poland on our side. Makes no sence to me. Why do all these European countries hate Americans, But are allowed to come here and take the jobs. Go figure. What does everyone think about this? Makes me sick to my stomach.

Then to top it off they really believe they have a right to remain in your home even after you ask or tell them to leave.

When you say that whites were "boycotted" you have to wonder why right? Well all you really have to do is listen to PB speak again to realize where thier anger comes from. You must also realize that he's not the only one who feels this way although most keep thier views to themselves. I'm sure there are white people who would love to have "no wetback day" however thankfully the few don't speak for the whole. When someone has been oppressed for so long there is a movement they are forced to speak out against the oppressors. Upon seeing this the oppressors scream foul forgeting all that they have done to the other party seeing and feeling only thier own injustices and the trampling on of thier rights. This will never change unless we come to the conclusion that we are all the same under this skin. There has to be a center ,an understanding that while being different colours or religion or what have you that inside we all have the same hopes and dreams and that maybe just maybe one day we will all be able to rise above all this hatred and bigotry and ugliness inside and be able to shake hands with one another and say today this is my brother. When looking at this you have to realize that every action has an opposite and equal reaction. When you say that whites were “boycotted” you have to wonder why right? Well all you really have to do is listen to PB speak again to realize where thier anger comes from. You must also realize that he’s not the only one who feels this way although most keep thier views to themselves. I’m sure there are white people who would love to have “no wetback day” however thankfully the few don’t speak for the whole. When someone has been oppressed for so long there is a movement they are forced to speak out against the oppressors. Upon seeing this the oppressors scream foul forgeting all that they have done to the other party seeing and feeling only thier own injustices and the trampling on of thier rights. This will never change unless we come to the conclusion that we are all the same under this skin.
