The obscure blog "Brothers Judd" - run by Orrin Judd with the technical assistance of his brother Stephen - has deleted the last four comments I left there. Since none of the comments were more abusive than usual and all were on-topic and I daresay informative, I'm left with the usual explanation when things like this happen: that site realizes that its position is extremely weak and is afraid of contrary opinions.

Of course, since most of their immigration-related posts consist of extended excerpts of a news report combined with a title featuring a smear like "nativist" or similar, together with a snarky throwaway line at the end, the weakness of their argument is largely self-evident.

Oddly, some of my comments are still there on earlier entries:
2006/03/were_all_paying.html
2006/03/its_a_living_ju.html
2006/03/sinking_islands.html
2006/03/lazy_native_but.html
2006/03/dont_look_for_p.html
2006/02/its_a_demand_si.html
2006/01/he_and_tancredo.html

The deleted comments are in the extended entry.

Previously in this series: I was banned by ThinkProgress and QAndO. And, of course, I was banned from RedState despite having posted 75 or so entries there. In 2003 I was banned by DailyKos.

Hispanic immigrants have the exact same values we do

Based on years of personal experiences, that's only true for a segment. That's not true for a large and growing segment. For instance, see the penultimate paragraph here: humaneventsonline.com/article.php?id=14010

"The first thing everyone wants to do when they get on the lifeboat is raise the ladder behind them."

I have a site that answers such childlike arguments (http://ImmRef.com), but that's one I haven't gotten to yet. So, as even third-graders realize, lifeboats can only hold so many people and have a limited amount of resources. And, we have to make sure that those we invite into the lifeboat are not going to make things much worse for the current inhabitants. That's just good lifeboat management.

Click my link for a brief introduction to this subject. Based on some of the comments, I think a more in-depth knowledge of this subject is needed.

Meanwhile: Migration of working-age people has devastated many Mexican villages.

Of course, it has a devastating impact here in the U.S. as well. For instance, U.S. companies helped send home that $20 billion, much of which was gained through illegal activity.

In other words, those companies profited from illegal behavior.

Then, they donate money to politicians that allow further illegal behavior.

Most non-corrupt, responsible people realize that such political corruption is extraordinarily dangerous.

1. Has the WaPo ever looked into all the money politicians receive from those companies and their industry groups that employ illegal labor? Have they ever - even just once - attempted to find out whether that money causes those politicians to refuse to enforce our immigration laws?

2. If we capitulate to the demands of those foreign citizens who are marching in our streets now, millions more will come here knowing that all they need to do is march in our streets to get what they want. We'll look weak to our enemies around the world.

Saving a few dimes on asparagus soup pales in comparison to corruption and a loss of sovereignty, and I suggest keeping track of all those who think that's a good trade.

Let's look behind the story:

In 2002, the Denver Post collaborated with the Mexican government and helped them spread pro-illegal immigration propaganda to their readers. Click the link for more on that paper.

In that light, one might understand why they'd falsely identify Lamm and Tancredo as "immigration foes" and talk of "nativists". And, one can understand why they fail to understand the fundamental differences between then and now.
