Interesting. So how do you think your hatred of illegal immigrants will affect your job performance?

In his line of work a dislike of illegal aliens should result in a solid job performance as a border agent, especially in numbers of illegal border jumpers intercepted, just like a love of illegal aliens would make one tend to gravitate to the SPLC.

Hatred of would just as well as present in various instances of self defense shootings. I saw him pull something out of his coat! He wouldn't freeze when I told him to freeze! He was refusing to obey orders!

You want solid job performance than the type of people you should employ are those with no hatred but only a sensation of responsibility to uphold the law.
 
People have this odd impression that I have a "burning hate" of "illegals" I don't. I hate law breakers. Obviously there are many here that embrace those tht break our laws and are upset by those that wish to see our laws upheld.

I don't mind, it's understandable, after all... look how the "progressives" deal with states breaking rules, they change the rules instead of enforcing their own self created laws. If they cannot accept their own rules, why should we expect them to respect our laws?

I understand how you would find it as a form of baiting, but I find it to be a very valid question. Apparently several others do as well.

The relevancy of my question goes right to the heart of his trying to get a job on the border patrol. His views on illegals in this forum have been downright hateful. The border patrol is a law enforcement profession. You walk in and apply for a job as a cop and you say "I hate" anybody, you will get a double take immediately.

I have arrested many, many drug offenders. I hate what meth does to society. I don't hate meth users. Hate is way to strong and removes any objectivity from the equation. I can hate the drug and it's effects without hating those who use it. I would have a serious problem working with any other cop who had a chip on their shoulder like that. It's not good for anyone, especially those on the other side.

So to those who just didn't get my question, I hope I have cleared it up a bit.

Look at who your accusers are.They are pro-illegals.They do not have leg to stand on in the illegal immigration debate so they have to make bogus accusations of racism and hatred.Do you really think your accusers actually believe the claims of racism and hatred they spew?I don't.Only a retard would believe such nonsense that comes from the mouths of pro-illegals.

Right. Hey, you do realize that you are in the minority on this again right? How does that make you feel? How did you like the way Congress, the elected representatives of the people, didn't tow your line? And continue to get elected!


Here is the thing james, this is exactly the way you guys always react to criticism to your xenophobic rhetoric. You claim you are the 70+% majority, and you claimed that you would run the betrayers of Congress out on a rail. Yet they are consistently put back into office despite what you consider to be this "pro-illegal" stance. How does that happen james? How is it that your majority keeps putting people in office that betray the cause?

I'll tell you how...you aren't in the majority. You are the extreme edge of the spectrum. The rest of us fall somewhere in the middle, realizing there is a problem we need to address, but being reasonable and compassionate enough not vilify an entire group of people because they break a law. Your campaign is not against law breakers...it's against immigrants who break laws and against those who don't hold the same views as you hold against these immigrant law breakers. Where are you in the law and order thread beating down people over breaking drug laws or traffic laws? Why JUST this law?

Just curious.

Help me out here, how can people be law breakers when the laws have been changed making it no longer illegal anymore?

Of course you won't touch the rest of my statement. Typical of you james.

The rest of your statement is just a distraction.It does not change the fact you are a pro-illegal slinging false accusations of racism and or hatred against those who are actually against illegal immigration.

Most people in this country left or right want our immigration laws enforced and are opposed to amnesty.It is you and other pro-illegals who are in the minority.

My congressmen and senators tow my line in regard to my views on illegal immigration.

The vast majority claims of xenophobia are illegitimate.The only ones spewing those claims are pro-illegals. It is understandable why you pro-illegals spew claims of racism and hatred because you do not have a leg to stand on in this argument so you have to resort to smearing the opposition with bogus accusations.
 
One trick pony james...nothing more. I didn't think you would have anything more to offer.

I didn't know screaming racist,hate monger or using the sympathy for illegals card in every illegal immigration debate counted as multiple tricks.
