I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD A FIRM GRASP ON THE SITUATION.

1. Yeah...

Do we really want to be equals with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela and China?

[JuniperLea]

3. Bingo!

Thank Goddess we have evolved beyond the stupidity, bigotry, and racism shown by those other countries.

Well, some of us have at any rate.

[Bicoastal]

2. "So, what you're saying...

...is that our country should be more like North Korea and Afghanistan? Well, good to know where you stand."

[jobycom]

4. Yeah, we should do things like Cuba and Iran. That's our standard?

It's not just racist, it's stupid as shit.

[Skinner]

5. Other than dumping it in the trash, I think your best response is...

To ask if the United States of America now aspires to emulate North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Communist China, Chavez's Venezueala, and Cuba.

[EFerrari]

9. Et tu, Skinner?

lol

Cuba has been welcoming Haitians for many years and similarly, Venezuela has been taking in the poor Colombians streaming across the border, displaced by Plan Colombia.

[Skinner]

14. My response was crafted specifically to tick-off right-wingers. (nt)

[EFerrari]

16. Sure! An even more irritating one: When Citgo buys our next election

Hugo will be in charge anyway and this problem will vanish!

lol

[uppityperson]

6. 1) delete 2) laugh

Yes, Canadians can carry a Canadian flag while they protest they don't get enough respect.

[wryter2000]

7. Off the top of my head

Do you really want us to be like Iran, North Korea, China, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan?

Then, you could dismantle the list of supposed benefits undocumented aliens get. For example, documents are printed in Spanish for lots of people who are here legally or are citizens. It's racist to assume all Spanish speakers are here illegally.

And no, they can't vote. That's plain stupid

8. Here's my search for immigrant deaths US Custody.

ICE disappears people, holds them indefinitely and sometimes kills them. And we pay for that. This email is factually bullshit.

10. does my brother-in-law have your email address?

respond to them with this 'go fuck yourselves'

[enid602]

11. benefits

With the exception of free education, all the benefits listed are reserved for citizens. And in the case of free education, part of the rent you pay goes toward property taxes which support the school system.

[Orsino]

12. "Liar." n/t

[gratuitous]

13. "Clearly you do not have a firm grasp of the situation"

But you ARE looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.

[newtothegame]

21. haha YES!!!

Nice AI reference :)

[mstinamotorcity]

15. I love America

land of free food stamps can't wait to get that lobbyist in washington,can you make him about 5'11,175 pounds,and not too bad to look at!!!!!!:P :P :P

[randr]

17. God bless the USA!

Of all the nations of the world, we treat people the way our founding fathers intended.

[booley]

18. Actually that's right

About what you get in the US.

But only if you are Cuban.

meanwhile we have children being put in jails.

http://www.democracynow.org/2007/3/22/9_year_old_canadian_citizen_and

People accused are rushed through trials without lawyers and in many cases deported without their American families being aware.

And what's this "free health care"?

Illegals can't get most social programs and as one who recently had an accident, I can tell you emergency rooms are not free!

Gracias por el mensaje. Ahora, come caca.

For the Spanish-impaired, that translates to:

"Thanks for the message. Now, eat shit."

Screw 'em all!
