Thread Name: BS: The Worst Debate in History?
Subject: RE: BS: The Worst Debate in History?
So, Rig, you equate continued immigration to establishing the US-Mexico borders as they were before the Mexican-American War?
Continued immigration is going to happen. As for pushing the borders back to 1845--not quite so likely. And, believe it or not, there is a difference between the two--even if Mr. Tancredo and your other sources of wisdom may be trying to blur the difference.
Back to the old question, which you, showing off your unparalleled question-dodging skills, have not found time to answer: what evidence do you have of substantial support among the Hispanic community for your border-changing nightmare?
If you can't find such support for this idea, just take a few aspirin and rent "The Alamo". And comfort yourself that San Jacinto came afterward. As did Mr. Polk's war, about a decade later, even if Lincoln was against it. And as Art points out, the Hispanics in the US aren't really too eager to rejoin Mexico. It's not exactly Heim ins Reich.
Lie down and think about something uncontroversial--like how much Hillary has for years spoken of the importance of gratitude to God as a daily discipline.
