Who cares, they're all dirty illegals that hate America. Even if they're not illegal, they're still brown, and I don't like them.

I have no problem with legal immigrants, but ILLEGAL immigrants have no right to be in the United States and the only rights they DO have is to be humanely deported back to the country of their origin.

Actaully some are tan, beige, yellow, and redish something. But your parody is good we should hate them all and they alll need to go back to where they came from. We don't need no immigrants here just send us good Americans after all America is for Americans.

 

[RyrineaHaruno]

Claps I am proud that Americans are all coming together to protest this bill that goes against our rights as Americans.

People with jobs generally don't have time to protest all the problems caused by illegals or the federal government's less than stellar handling of such problems

It's generally true that people with jobs do not have time to protest period. That is why in the sixties and early seventies the anti-war moement was filled with 'students'.

BTW - Where are the Tea Party leaders getting all of the TeasCups to protest ? Are they all laid off Lipton employees ?

They have human rights that were given to them by the Geneva convention.

Geneva convention covered illegal alens ? uh ?? The Geneva convention that I always heard about covered the rules warfare! But I could be uninformed and there is another Geneva and another convention ???

My bad it was the basic human rights they are given Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Sorry about that I had gotten confused a little bit.

Well my sister in law attended several-she's a housewife with all her children in college now so she isn't employed. Several others I know are employed but the rallies were on weekends or evenings. I know the biggest one in my area was on the saturday of the labor day weekend--an athletic group I am a member of has a tournament on that weekend and we couldn't get our normal park because of the tea party.

1.4 million Americans attended the Obama inaugural-a record

only 14 missed work:mrgreen:

hey I am not like a few Mods and self important know it alls who act like middle school girls and jump on every little thing. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights that is a very imortant document. I had releaives in what was the prison of nation\s aka USSR and my dad was wanted by the KGB so that The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was one something the discidents in the USSR used as a "legal" document and rallying cry.

no idea but it was funny

Obama's top bag lady in Cincinnati was there. She is a rich JA Princess whose hardworking father sold his business for millions and she spends most of her time whining about the GOP and how unfair America is to the poor. She was featured on NIGHTLINE about 5 star "camps" where you pretend to rough it during the day while getting haute cuisine at night. SInce her job was "promoting Obama" I really don't believe she missed work by being at his swearing in. of course when you raise a couple million for the messiah you are gonna get an invite.

Wow a bunch of liars,criminals and pro-criminals came together to smear Arizona's anti-illegal immigration. Not a parody post.

It's time for reform!

As long as immigration reform contains amnesty or some form of it I do not want it.Immigration reform should be enforcement, denying tax payer funded services to illegals(that also means no food handler's permits, drivers licenses and etc,), banning sanctuary cities, requiring police to verify the legal status of everyone they pull over(or some other form of legal contact), more border agents,perhaps militarizing the border, repealing the law that allows for the chain migration of relatives other than spouse and minor children and requiring that those who hire illegals be severely punished.

Yeah! Its a lot better to disregard our laws and bow to intimidation by open border fanatics who don't give a crap about our sovereignty as a nation.

I have only been interested in the political human right mostly so I would not have bothered reading anything about immigrants and of course not about llegals in the UDHR . Does it have specifdc references to illegals ? Ii of course have hope that legals are treated well but illegals deserve only humane treatment in the process of being sent back. No chips implanted of course.

liars,criminals, and theives oh my !!! So there wasn't even one honest law abbing person among them ? liars,criminals, and theives oh my !!!

I did not see anything immigrants per se as I thought :

Article 13
1.Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.
2.Everyone has the right to leave any country, including their own, and to return to their country.

"within the borders of each state." I did not hink that it would have promoted Illegal Alienism. !!!

" return to their country" So illegals have the right to be thrown out and to return to where hey came from.

 

[jamesrage]

How is it honest to sit there and say the new Arizona allows racial profiling or that it allows cops to just stop anyone the suspect might be an illegal ask for ID and immigration status without first stopping them for some other offense or some other legal contact? There might be some law abiding citizens among them assuming that they are not harboring,aiding or employing illegals.

Did you see some of the LIBRUL stuff that the UDHR has ??? Some of the stuff is bordering on Socialism..!!!!

Article 3
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
Article 4
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
Article 5
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment
Article 6
Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

it get worse

without any discrimination to equal protection
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent
right to freedom of movement
Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.

OMG terrible just terrible !! Who the hell does the UN think that they are telling that we cannot discriminate ?

Well some people feel that the law especially beore the tweaking can be interpreted to allow profiling. But let's say that someone thinks that !! Ok so how does that make them liars? Now let's discuss the crimnal aspect. If the demonstartors has not commited a crime and convicted they are not criminals. If they are illegals they are criminals but do we know how many illegals were at the demonstration ?

There might be some law abiding citizens among them

so they were virtually liars, criminals and thieves / oh my
