One more good reason to like Georgie's speech!
In case you were wondering where all the anti-immigrant rhetoric was going here is a quote from Vox Day on World Net Daily in reaction to Bush's speech the other night [http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=50198]:
And [Bush] will be lying, again, just as he lied when he said: "Massive deportation of the people here is unrealistic -- it's just not going to work."
Not only will it work, but one can easily estimate how long it would take. If it took the Germans less than four years to rid themselves of 6 million Jews, many of whom spoke German and were fully integrated into German society, it couldn't possibly take more than eight years to deport 12 million illegal aliens, many of whom don't speak English and are not integrated into American society.
It isn't often when you find one so excessively honest about the intellectual roots of his program. Apparantly at least some of the anti-immigrant party clearly see a comparison between the 12 million illegal aliens and the Jews of Europe.

That was a stupid thing to write. Seldom does comparing a proposed plan to anything the Third Reich did, much less a Holocaust analogy, help your cause.
The author, apparently, is unaware of the difference between a Democratic Republic and a Totalitarian Dictatorship.

Yes, to both observations. And that is the point.
The quote also betrays a serious lack of historical understanding -- 1920s Jews were "were fully integrated into German society"? Not in any history I'm aware of. I can only hope their stupdiity will be their downfall.
Yes. And more to the point, the German Jews are not the Jews Vox Day really means anyway, although he clearly doesn't know it. Those Jews, who were thoroughly 'assimilated' to German culture (which I think is what he is trying to say)left before the Holocaust because life was made so impossible for them by law. So I guess ol' Vox wants us to pass our very own version of the Nuremburg Laws to encourage the 'illegals' (though he seems to mean Hispanics in general)to move right back to Mexico. Unless he really has in mind the one way train trips to the killing camps.
Let's assume that even such a right-wingnut doesn't mean that. I hope.
BTW - are your husband's papers all in order? And Joey, are your aunts and uncles all as legal as you think they are?
Just for the record, my ancestors were here when D. Boone went traipsing through the area.
Well, unless there was some ventriloquism pregnancy, I think we are okay. All my aunts and uncles were born American.
