u stfu.illegal immigration is destroying us.we had laws and these people are breaking it.they are not here to be americans as the old immigrants did.these people dont want to assimilate or speak english.yes its our fault.but the people who care and speak out are as you say called racists.just as u call em one for being concerned.
we had laws to control flow,now its open borders.i live among 3rd world immigrants and my beautiful neighborhood has become a sewer.chinese,latino,russians,they are pigs and refuse to speak english and if i say something thye know how to tell me to go f--k myself.thanks to liberal pukes and politicians.
my great grandparents came and demanded their children only speak english,my grandfather didt understand german,today the children of these lowlifes only speak their parents language,the parents leave it to the school sysytem to help the kids learn english.that affects us all
wake up fools

There is no reasonable excuse for Bush administration events that she discusses in this video. Since these points made are SO critical to the freedoms of the United States, will she apply these points to the Obama administration as well or continue to give him a pass like so much media has been? The one that struck me most was point #9 as it relates to town hall meetings of summer ‘09 & Pelosi’s comments about them plus Obama rejecting dissent about his policies. Bush did not let “a good crisis go to waste,” and neither has Obama.

As the one sign held up said, “dissent is patriotic”. Unless it’s a conservative or independent holding the sign, I guess.

“If Americans do not REVOLT AND RE VOTE for Don Cordell as your president, you might as well start learning Spanish, German, and 158 other languages as we lose our national identity, and surrender to the New World Order.”

OH NO...LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE?WHATEVER SHALL I DO I CAN BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH?!lol yeah don...you def got my vote…

and the United States is a melting pot,dimwit.that means we’ve never really had a national sense of identity.we are a mass of immigrant cultures balled into one.THAT is what makes this country a wonderful place to live.if i had to be surrounded by a bunch of boring white people all the time(myself being one of them)i’d move asap.
