Illegal Alien?

by Matt | April 28th, 2006 |

I found this wonderful post by Jeff Thigpen today (emphasis added):

I was listening to Talk Radio this morning and heard a blatantly negative, misleading, disrespectful and distasteful radio ad by Vernon Robinson, candidate for Congress in the 13th District.

Aliens, flag burning, gay marriage and homosexuals, (oh yeah-even foreign homosexuals), ultra liberal, amnesty, free give aways to Aliens, blah, blah, blah. You’d think I’d see all this coming out of the Bestway on the corner. He’s already playing to fear, anger, and the dark side of the 13th District.

Traditional American Values….I think not. You’d expect more from a graduate of the Air Force Academy. An ALIEN to the 13th, Mr. Robinson will soon learn.

The citizens of the 13th Congressional District are salt of the earth, hard working, God fearing, responsible, and the fabric of the heartland in North Carolina. We are urban and rural, young and elderly, and will do the right thing. And I’m talking about both Democrats and Republicans. Good people. These folks are more hopeful than negative and they want a better lives for their children and communities. We want and need representation in Congress that doesn’t embarrass, but truly serves our needs.

Vernon Robinson is out of touch, and soon, he will lose another campaign.

Thigpin makes a good point. How can Robinson continue to spout of this “illegal alien” rhetoric when he is running in a district in which he does not even live himself? The only alen is you, Vernon.

  2. Part of me really wants to see Robinson elected. He embodies everything that’s wrong with the conservative movement and would only help the Deomcrats nationally in the long run.

  3. Help us in the long run? Maybe. Hurt every minority in the 13th District right now? No question about it.

    Shame on you for saying such a thing Sam. ;)

  4. Robinson is a fool and I really would be scared for every minority living in the 13th district if he was elected. So yeah, I agree with Matt on that one.

    To those of you who are here without a green card you are ILLEGAL. We are not trying to make you illegal; you have done that to yourselves by breaking our laws.

    When my mother immigrated to the US, she had to apply for a visa, have a sponsor, pass medical exams, learn our history, and pass a citizenship exam IN English.
    If you want to be here, I suggest you do the same thing. We here in the United States are trying to work for the common good of our country and our economy, come here legally, and join us in this work. If not GET OUT.

    I have a suggestion for the Government for the mexican illegal problem:

    1. Build 10 rows of fences 12 feet high and 50 feet apart with razor wire on top, place tangle foot and land mines between them. Then build a wall 30 feet thick and 50 feet high with armed guard towers every 100 feet and more razor wire staffed by US soldiers with orders to shoot to kill. And inside the wall place vibration sensors to make sure they don’t tunnel under. Then place only two entries ports in the fence into the United States.

    2. Fine any employer who hires illegal workers $10,000.00 per illegal and 10 years in prison.

    3. Any Illegal caught in the country after the completion of the wall to either be deported or given the option of serving in the military for 6 years.(after which citizenship will be granted)

    If this is not a workable plan then simply annex Mexico. We have loaned them countless millions of dollars over the years. Call President Fox and inform him his loan notes are due, if they do not pay up in 90 days Foreclose and annex them. Then they can be Americans and not have to jump the border.

    For the illegals from Europe:

    Same fines for the companies who hire them deportation or the Military.

    For the illegals from the Middle East:

    Send them tho GITMO until they can be identified as illegals or terrorists, then deportation or military.

    Remember
    “where is your green card”,
    “donde está su verde card”,
    “waar uw groene kaart is”,
    “l où est votre vert cardez”,
    “wo Ihr Grünes ist, kardieren Sie”,
    “πού είναι η πράσινη κάρτα σας”,
    “dove è il vostro verde cardi”,
    “あなたの計器飛行証明があるところ”,
    “너의 영주권이 있는 곳에”,
    “onde está seu verde card”,
    “где ваша зеленая прочешите”
    is not meant to hurt you or your feelings only to protect the citizens Native or Naturalized

  6. Ummm… Sean? Where did this come from and who are you? This post really wasn’t about illegal immigration so much as it was about Vernon Robinson spouting off his mouth on illegal immigration while being hypocritical and running in a Congressional District he doesn’t even live in. It was kind of like a play on words… except it was a play on a situation.
