"We don't care that you want to change the voting electorate so that you can stay in charge. We don't care if you want to kow-tow up to the corporations and the businessmen so that you can have cheap labor. This is about putting Americans first, not any special interest, not the Mexican special interest, but what is proper by the Constitution for the United States of America and its citizens."

"My compassion starts with people who are Americans because I believe one thing; There are three types of people that should be here in this country- your Americans, those people who want to be Americans, and those people that we invite here as our guests. Other than that, you don't deserve to be here."

"This is without a doubt a premier national security issue."

"Our government wants to castigate us as the enemy. Our president went down and said that the problem is here in the United States of America. Well, you know, let's face it, wherever he goes, he's gonna apologize for this country. I can't stand the guy. I absolutely can't stand him. It is not our fault what is going on in Mexico."

"There cannot be another amnesty program."


"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." - Theodore Roosevelt 1907

What would Jesus do?
 
Demanding respect for the law =/= xenophobia.

FYI.

they come here to steal our jobs = xenophobia

He especially asks, why do we ALLOW people to come here and take our jobs. Illegal aliens are not allowed to come in afaik. they just come in without being allowed to do so.
and he didnt leave out the usual xenophobe nonsense of being conquered from within..

yes this is defo xenophobia.

haven't watched the video.

But the arguments in the text are not xenophobia per se.

There are legal ways to immigrate and countries have laws for a reason.

Countries also have the right and obligation to preserve the integrity of their borders.

Neither is that sludge blob West.

Big screw-up on the part of the Army to have let him slink away with his commission and pension. The jerk is not fit for public office. He has disgraced the uniform. Her should have stood trial for torturing a prisoner.

I have no use for anything out of that drongo's mouth.

If "those people who want to be Americans" could be Americans legally without either:
a) being married or having some family member who is American.
b) Having a high paying job it has been proven no American wants already lined up.
or
c) Beating extremely improbable odds.

they would Immigrate legally. No one says "well I could immigrate legally, but I'd rather just do it illegally", it's "I can't legally get into America, so I will immigrate illegally".

By the way, I find it funny when people whose families came into the US when immigration laws were far more lax are like "My family immigrated legally why can't these damned dirty stinking Mexicans Illegals".

Cuba is a nice place if you don't like American exceptionalism

Isn't it great you live in the greatest, freest, most generous country there has ever been.

he is without a doubt, a very good man.

I really enjoy listening to him.

No liberal could even be worthy of wearing his sandals.

especially ones (lefties) that have such a special place for sharia and most dictators

Now, dont get me wrong I love Teddy R.
One of the United States greatest Presidents. And one of the most progressive too. What with his trust busting, national park forming, progressive taxation instituting ways. Which makes him a funny guy for the right to quote these days.

But this bolded part? Most immigrants that come here illegaly DO try to fit in and act American. It's called hiding. This would seem to apply more to say Italian-Americans, Irish-Americans, Asian-Americans, African-Americans, etc...you know? People "who say they are American, but something else also"? And that is something that legal immigrants do more than illegal ones.

Oh and that part after that? "We have room for but one flag, the American flag". Seems some people in the South could read that part a little more often.

Can you provide examples of these liberal lefties that "have such a special place for sharia and most dictators"? Cos it gets thrown around a lot without ever being backed up. And here, we kinda like evidence.

I have no examples for you.

I don't see much difference in "progressive" ideas and a hugo, fidel, ortega, obama,

Don't liberal, sorry progressive ideas more align with these stalwarts of human compassion.
