Sounds about right. Businesses want the cheap labor. Consumers want cheap products and servcies. Politicians want the votes. So who is actually against illegal immigration? A handfull of Town Hall readers?

And then, after he hits the ground, offering him 35 different welfare programs to make sure he is taken care of and never needs to work again.

Inner city blacks could immediately and vastly improve their lives by reading and following the advice given in two books: The New Testament, and "America the Beautiful" by Dr. Carson. The odds that this will happen? Less than 0.01 percent.

He went to Columbia and Harvard, don't you know. Pursuant to liberal dogma, he is entitled to tax us and regulate us because is he so much smarter than we common folk. Only we we regain the spirit of 1776 will be be able to bring real change to Washington.

I heard that so far in 2012, Hamas has fired 800+ rockets into civilian areas of Israel. If this is correct, then I say Juan is completely wrong. Israel has shown remarkable restraint under the circumstances. And, by the way, how come you never hear about the hundreds of Hamas rockets in the MSM? Silly me, what a dumb question . . .

Yes, and those real people should have voted with their heads and not their hearts on November 6th. Elections have consequences, no?

Did you graduate from high school? If so, were you asleep during US government? 1. The president cannot cut taxes. Only Congress has the power to tax and spend. Bush may have proposed the cuts, but a majority voting block comprised of Dem and Repubs approved them. 2. If you want to talk about social engineering, don't forget the War on Poverty (estimated to cost $20 trillion since 1960). This year alone, welfare programs will cost just under $1 trillion. 3. Congress is composed of both a Senate and a House. These bodies have switched between Dem control and Repub control several times since 2000. Congress spends the money, remember?

If you want to compare 2 different Americas, read about the Cat 4 or 5 hurricane that hit Galveston in 1900, and Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans in 2005. How the people reacted to these two events demonstrates very well how the nation has changed.

Exactly right.

Blaming Romney and his team is a bunch of BS. This election revealed that after years of trying, the liberal progressives have won. More people favor big goverment socialism than oppose it. Romney would have won easily in 1980. JFK would have lost this election. What really died in this election is constitutional, limited government. The sheeple don't want it anymore. And they don't care if they have to pay more taxes and give up more liberty to have Mother Sam (aka Santa Claus) take care of them. They will be so surprised when the lessons of Greece fall upon the United States, and will try to deflect the blame to everyone but themselves.
