Tom DeLame is a real asshole and crook. He's from my town..everyone hates his ass.

Points I found interesting about your post:
- You dog capitalism. You're starting to sound like filthy commie scum.(Heavy on the sarcasm :P )
- You cite hip-hop as a "problem". This is funny and I actually agree.
- Democratic leaders think illegal immigration is needed? I was very unaware of this :/ . Please inform.

1) Capitalism is shit. Any society needs an economy for stability, but to make money the greatest focus of a people-replacing tradition, culture and heritage as the glue that holds society together-is just bad leadership. American capitalism kills the spirit: the rich get richer, disassociating their actual personality from anything not involving the almighty dollar and becoming greed machines, while the bourgeois, petite bourgeoisie, and proletariats dream of becoming like them, essentially selling their soul for an illusion (they’ll never be that rich ( ... )

Whaaaa? Maybe NORTH AMERICAN communists are yuppie scum but you see a lot of activity in Central and South America. Spain I think now is under a socialist leader... Anyway, yeah, like I said, I agree with everything you said.

Oh yeah, and Sugar Land is a suburb of Houston. So, yes, I'm from what used to be DeLay's district. At any rate, I'm not understanding what you are saying. You said Democratic leaders are saying that illegal immigrants are need to fill jobs. My question was, which Dems are advocating that? Also, DeLay's quote in the comic strip does not say illegal immigration is needed. So I'm at a loss at what you meant by statement #3.

By "democratic leaders" I meant leaders of democracies, not the Democratic Party.

DeLay posed an if/then statement: IF America was pro-life THEN we wouldn't need illegal aliens as cheap bodies to fill the job void. This implies that because pro-life isn’t a national reality that we NEED illegal aliens now. (It also implies that there is a job void, which isn’t so because there are plenty of unemployed folks in America-some of them illegal aliens, making his statement a bit ironic.)

I don't think DeLame was advocating illegal immigration. That cartoon is talking about pro-life. He's a big time Evangelical and major anti-immigration and for the work program.There is a website that gives how these guys vote. I forgot which. Anyway, he's typical of the average nouveau riche or wannabe Houstonian, making money through the oil or service businesses. In the 'burbs out here there aren't many who are highly educated and those are his constituents. Downtown Houston is where the highly educated go, so that part of Houston usually has Dem mayors. Anyway, ughhh..my dad's been following this asshole for years before he was involved with U.S Reps. Another local douche-bag is Congressman Ted Poe. UGHH. A lot of these guys are notoriously racist. We do have a few Republicans that are okay from our state. But mostly everyone is oil hungry and has ties or investments in the industry. Really sad ( ... )

Even if abortion was illegalized, I suspect DeLay would find another reason why we need illegal immigrants. It’s just too convenient for the rich and corrupt. People pouring into the country who are willing to work the dispensable lowest wage jobs because they’re twice as good as the average job back home? What a bargain for America!

People come up with weak ideas that are sensationally supported (the Wall, militarization of the border) and thus quickly rejected. The influence of culture, apparently, as far as preventing illegal immigration is concerned, hasn’t been thought of yet. I don’t take the politicians as fools-they know what they’re doing; they support illegal immigration because aliens are easily exploitable and good for fattening accounts, but they also want the common American public to have the illusion that they support the traditional American community: an English speaking, law abiding, and predominately white healthy middle-class ( ... )
