Damn I hope he explains cause I am still haven't made the connection. Heh.
The hope that you'd ever understand anything at all is long gone, ask your parents, they'll tell you the same thing.

Turn away /= export. Export = kick out an endemic population. I do remember though the story of the St. Louis, but that was in '39. The USA after World War One was staunchly isolationist and tried very hard to stay out of that European war (except for aiding the British) until Pearl Harbor in '41, never really raised or relaxed its immigration quotas until after the war, and never really believed the stories of Jewish persecution and extermination until early '45, when we began overrunning the camps. After all, many Americans were of German ethnicity, immigrating both before and after the Great War, and Americans tended to not believe Germans would do such things. hell, most of our Jews were from Germany. We did however take in many Jews after the war, including most of the survivors of the St. Louis. I won't pretend that turning it away was good or right, but as I said, the USA is now home to the largest population of Jews outside of Israel and does not have the tolerance of Muslim violence against Jews (except perhaps in a few very liberal strongholds) that plagues much of Europe.A few things.
1. I'm a Captain of the TFB SAS, there is a reason we were the first to go in in both Iraq and Afghanistan (and that IS published knowledge), don't compare me to marines, it would be like comparing Seals to autism inflicted children.
2. I came on a bit strong, then again, i don't believe in special treatment.
3. Yeah, you did, my parents would have been americans if you didn't. Jews died by the hundreds on ships that the US turned away. Look it up. It's on google, last i remember searching there were videos of it.

I just laughed at how stupid people like spidey are. What in the hell are we to do, arrest all 10 million? Any other solution besides amnesty is bleeping stupid and any suggestion otherwise is just so political BS.

Obama has spent, what 3 trillion dollars? 5 billion would be enough to round up all the criminals and deport them. That's 100 million per state.

All i know on this matter is what i've been told from my family, you'd think i researched it but i haven't more than watched some videos played on some channels.
During and after the war Jews, gypsies and arabs were not let ashore in the US, this is how my parents got to the UK, one of sixteen vessels turned away and the only one remaining when it arrived in British port.
I have a great big problem with the US both then and before, the whole "we will not get involved in Europes war" that was the speech to the nation and i doubt you would have unless you were under attack and decalared war upon.
That said, i would put it behind me the day the US stops thinking they saved anyones arse from the Germans because the only arse they truly saved was their own.
Looking at how it is now, no Britains wanted us to go to war against Iraq, there are no flowers or banners for us when we get home, frankly, if we keep our mouths shut we won't have to fight and that is about it.
Fortunantly we'll have a new and better government soon.
Or so i hope, all in all i wish the liberal democrats would have a chance, but like your libertians, they are a side show and it's time for the Tories to take the lead.
As long as they don't act like Blair and Brown, i'm bloody well good with that.
I see this thread has been hijacked quite well. Good job guys, very nice.
Everytime I go into a speedway gas station (which is every two days because I work for my money and drive a lot) I see illegal immigrants in front of me. Louisville/Lexington, KY has become a sanctuary city unfortunately.
They can't speak our language and they always pay in cash. ALWAYS! I have never seen a mexican use anything but cash to buy their two liters of sprite by the dozen. Ran into it again on my way home.
And what after that? you think the problem of illegal immigrants will end after that? once you grant amnesty to them, within few years another 10 will be in line, what will you do then? America will always have this problem, once you reward one group, it will only aggravate the problem. And since we will always have this problem, unfortunately, the best course of action is to leave it as it is...
The best you can do is try and prevent the increase in their number.
I speak seven languages fluently, they probably can make themselves understood in a least two.
You're fucking pathetic, oh wait, i already told you that, didn't i?
I think that's a waste of time and energy. A majority of both parties want them here, they just couldn't (under Bush) face the heat of the people. With Obama though it's different. People are going to throw them out anyway over health care; it's not like they can be voted out of office twice in one year, so the Dems have little to lose and can pick up enough support among the Pubbies to pass whatever legalization they want.My main motivation of posting this is to expose Obama and what he is trying to do. Learn from history. Stop him. We can do this. We CAN stop him.
Yea I know big guy. Lets round them up like trash, ship them out, or just kill them like spidey wants. That will teach them to come here.

I doubt that we would have gone to war had we not been attacked. Roosevelt after all campaigned on keeping us out of the war, while helping Great Britain fight her own war, and many powerful people liked and admired the Nazis and socialist in general. Germany had been a good trading partner, ethnic Germans were a substantial minority in the USA, and after the deaths in WW1 Americans felt like Europe should fight its own wars, which would never stop, and that our oceans were sufficient barriers against foreign aggression. I think that's true about the Nazis, though perhaps not the Soviets. And I've only read about the St. Louis, although I admit it's never been a priority subject for me.
Sorry to hear about the lack of support at home. Regardless of how one feels about the war, one should always honor the troops who vow to go risk life and limb on whatever silly adventure politicians decide to send them on.
If we would simply enforce the laws we have on the books, a lot of them would leave. What would be their motivation to stay if they can not get employment?

They would have no motivation to stay but instead turn to crime. Our only option is to send these mexican citizens back to mexico. We need to deport them. Otherwise, they'd rob our businesses and rape our women.
You are directing your anger towards the wrong group of people.
Tell the corporate thugs in your party to stop hiring them illegally. As long as their is a demand for cheap illegal labor, they will continue to flock into the country.
You remove that demand and enact harsh punishments to employers that hire illegal immigrants, then the immigrants are faced with 2 choices:
1. Apply for citizenship.
2. Go back to Mexico.
