Bollinger tells News 11 he will accept anyone into this country as long as they come here legally

sounds like a reasonable view to me...

Bollinger says his wife is from Russia and he had to jump through all kinds of hoops and pay for the process of her becoming a US citizen. He feels everyone else should do the same.


So, essentially the guy is just pissed off that he had to pay so much for his Russian mail order bride when he could've just as easily received a free Mexican.

Ahh, another citizen of this country that doesn't understand what it means to be an "American". Getting pretty tired of these idiots living in my country.

If we could just deport racist, xenophobic non-Americans like this guy, wed have plenty of room for all the low-wage foreign workers we want!

YA RLY. The original said "Turns out the Statue of Liberty is wearing a thong. Who knew?"

Oh well.

Personally, I'm more disturbed by this banner:

What exactly do they mean by "taking action"? Is this some kind of perverted swinger jargon?

If you've seen Russian porn (as opposed to Mexican) I'd go for the Russian mail-order bride.

If she's a Russian porn star.

Unbelievably hot.

/Any good Mexican porn sites?

No need to be upset. There are still plenty of free Mexicans to go around.

Well, this guy has little or no class, but I'll defend his right to protest just like everyone else. And I'll defend that right with my Gun you liberal commie bastages!

Now on the other side, do illeagal aliens also have protecton from the Bill of Rights? Honest question here.

2006-05-30 1:20:38 PM  
butt, you don't underwear, i mean understand!!

wow, new story, the night the statue came alive.

I was walking slowly up the stairs, mesmorized by the idea of what she stood for, when I noticed the damp ceiling above me. When in an echoing voice, a womyn cried out
"Take me now"
In a panic I climbed up what I thought was an escape hole. She kept screaming and groaning, and the walls were slick, and they kept contracting around me....

Hell no, I don't vote! Votin's jes' a waste o' time! I put mah time ta good use on important things like this here statcha. That there statcha sends a message to alla them crooks in Washin'ton that we want action! And when they see me here on tha tee-vee, they're gonna set up an' take notice! Yessir!

Yeah, but have you seen how Russians age? Not good! They start out looking good, but they go downhill really fast. And they've got pretty bad attitudes--pushy, demanding. Asian is the way to go, I'm told, if you want something that will wear well and be compliant.

/Friend has a Russian wife
//Have other friends with Japanese, Filipino wives.
///Have an American model myself.

seems like he earned the right to his opinion.
not that i necessarily agree with it.

Since when did expecting people to follow the rules become racist?

Thats MRS. to you, OR simply, goddess of all things twisted.

of course it was tasteless, as I thought the idea that putting a thonged ass in a front yard to protest illegal immigrants are!! He should have at least had the courage to wear the outfit himself the next time he went out in public

Yeah, what a racist. Could you believe the crap spewing out his mouth?

Just because he's not eloquent in his delivery, I call him unamerican, a racist and probably a Republican.

Of course! the statue of liberty stands for OPPRESSION!

Oops. I forgot about the laws Farkentology. Looks like I'll have to say 5 Hail-Spaghetti-Monster's & subject myself to 18 lashes from the wet noodle.

Mrs. Spank my ButtMonkey,

I am liking you more and more. I see that we agree on this issue. I for one would not like to see him out in his front yard with a thong on; however we can discuss thongs at length if you would like. Please?

/I have often wondered about my obit in the paper and although I have often hoped for an opening such as 'It started out as a normal day', Zoo has not ever come up before. But I do like the way your thinking.
 
2006-05-30 1:36:59 PM  
btw, wanting people to follow the rules doesn't make him a racist, but his paper mache statue of liberty with a thong and sign saying "kiss my american ass" certainly might be a clue, jackass.

/dated a russian, couldn't stand her codependent nature
//guy only has an american ass to kiss because his parents farked here, well done patriot

Indeed they do. Any person on American soil, who is here leagally, illegally, or imported from afghanistan is protected by the constitution today. In the past this wasn't true (think pre-civil war), but we've cleared that up now.

As for Illegal immigration, there is a quick and easy way to stop it. Fine people who employ anyone who provides a false Social Security number the equivilant of a [legal worker's] year's salary for that worker. Got an Illegal berry picker? That will be $25k. Got a construction worker? $50k.

The SS office just introduced a system where you can verify the authenticity of a SS# online so this isn't even a big inconvenience.

Once employers stop employing Illegal low-wage earners, that pool will dry up. The wages of the lowest class will rise and society as a whole will be better off for it, in the form of lower crime rates and higher education levels.

The statue expresses Bollinger's distaste for illegal immigrants.

I'd say that's a pretty accurate photo caption.

Douchebag from story
You don't have rights. You are here illegally," said Bollinger of the people who cross the border without permission.

This is the scary part. You need to be a citzen ot have rights in this country? No due process?
 
2006-05-30 1:40:36 PM  
Did you know that the Statue of Liberty is actually a cross-dressing dude?
 
2006-05-30 1:40:37 PM  
baby_hewey --
Do you see the word 'citizen' appear in them, or any such caveats?


The Constitution largely provides structure and duty to the government. Amendments IX and X makes it clear that the intended default is powers and rights reside with the people, not with a government hypothetically free to deny any non-explicitly-granted rights.

cresquin: Once employers stop employing Illegal low-wage earners, that pool will dry up.

almost 50% of illegals are hired by individuals for day labor, how do you stop those people from hiring them?

this problem needs more then 1 solution, fining companies is a good start though...
 
2006-05-30 1:45:20 PM  
Guy has a point. Not racist, either. If you feel so bad about the poor Mexicans, let them live in your house.

RE: BobtheFascist : "Since when did expecting people to follow the rules become racist?"

Well said!

I don't understand how people can be called xenophobic when they are simply asking for our laws to be enforced.

And you'd better watch out, because if this guy doesn't accept you, he won't hesitate to, um, make some bad papier mache in your direction.

Headso:

Easy, have a cop stand out in front of Home depot. Let the day laborers stand there. When a potential employer comes up to hire someone who is here illegally, fine them.

in twisted metal 2 you could shoot missiles at the statue of liberty that would make her first turn into a fat woman in a bikini, and then a skinny woman in a bikini.

/got nothing.
 
2006-05-30 1:56:49 PM  
also, eliminating 50% of the job opportunities would definately make illegal immigration less attractive.
 
2006-05-30 2:03:47 PM  
For what it's worth, the following anecdote:

I recently needed to have my roof reshingled. At about the same time, some relatives of mine needed the same thing. They went with a company that bragged about how they don't hire Mexicans, and they give them all drug tests, and yadayadayada. It took a week to complete. First they delivered all the stuff and a dumpster, dropping it off in front of the garage, trapping them (well, their car) until the job was done. Then they were late getting started. Foreman didn't show up on time. Landscaping ruined. Nothing but problems.

The company I hired sent out a van full of latinos. It was like a goddamn clown car, these guys just kept pouring out of the van. I don't think any of them spoke English. Took them four hours to do the job. They cleaned everything up, didn't stomp on my flowers. I inspected the job and it's flawless.

So as far as I'm concerned, send over as many of these guys as you want. They want to work. I'd rather have a house full of illegals living next to me than a bunch of white trash any day.
