I came across this person who exemplifies what is wrong with America. It’s a My Space blog of a presumed American who has no sense of principle or moral reasoning. I tried to leave a comment, but I couldn’t load the page, so here’s my take on what is alarmingly common thought concerning the illegal alien problem:

Creepy Myspacers with Blogs
Current mood: good
Please say I’m not one of them…the creepy myspacers with a blog…There are some messed up people out there. People who have pimped their myspace accounts with super creepy Jesus pictures where Jesus is bench pressing the cross on his back. People who have modeling pictures, practically nude, wearing bikinis of the american flag. Both of these people are die hard Republicans and the bikini chick is running for governer of Nevada!! And she has alot to say about illegals working in our country. I don’t know if I could vote for somebody who has a whole bunch of web tests on their account (she is 100% conservative and also has pics of Jessica Rabbit on the site). I guess you can be both conservative and nude model. Oh and she has 2,054 friends on the site and the first friend is her! Um, ya….
I agree with Julie up to this point. I don’t go for those freaky Jesus pictures either and I certainly wish people would keep their clothes on. Unfortunately, Julie’s assumption that Republicans are the only freaks on MySpace is tragically flawed.
FYI, I don’t know how I feel about illegals in the country.
Why not? How can someone not have feelings or opinions about the most important issue facing America at this time? This issue effects everything from taxes to public infrastructure to health care to highway safety! Uh Oh, I think she really does know how she feels… here it comes:
Their situation is pretty bad at home–nobody leaves everything and everybody they know to go a new country for the fun of it.
No question about it: Mexico sucks. So does Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Columbia, Ecuador, and virtually every other country in Central and South America. There’s no doubt that these people are invading our nation to benefit themselves economically. They are, however, breaking the law.
A friend of mine who was stationed in Mexico somewhere (not in the military) found a 1.5 year old baby in the streets. His mother had left him there hoping that somebody would find him and be able to take care of him better than she could.
OK. Sad story. I agree. Poverty sucks. Irresponsible desperate people do irresponsible desperate things. Unfortunately, the abandonment of one’s own child is un-natural and inexcusable. American women do this too, by the way.
He took care of that child for the 2 years he was there but then had to leave him with somebody.
That’s very nice for someone to give of himself to care for another. Individuals will always be more compassionate and caring than government.
Tell me that people who have no hope, no way of living, cannot be empathized with.
Well, the woman who abandoned her child should be punished severely. I think I can empathize with those who are poor and suffering. I can understand people feeling hopeless and desperate. I cannot empathize with those who have such disregard for law and order that they would illegally invade another nation rather than attempt lawful immigration. Better yet, why don’t they do something to change their lives? Why not overthrow that piece of crap government they have down there? Why don’t we overthrow the piece of crap government we have in Washington DC?
I don’t think that the people who are so against illegal immigration take into account the human suffering factor–they don’t have to.
I am against illegal immigration. To accuse people like me of failing to consider the suffering of others is groundless and irresponsible. I think we all should be concerned with the plight of others. The problem is that we have 20 million criminals living in our country. They are increasing the suffering of American citizens. To expect us to sacrifice our livelihood, our jobs, our health, and our nation because some people are suffering is unreasonable. The job of our government should primarily be the preservation of the interests of Americans. The invasion of the USA by immigration criminals is devastating our nation. Our government has immigration laws in place so that people can come here legally in a controlled manner that will not put our own citizens in disadvantage.
I don’t know how that translates into policy or solutions, but it is always easier to blame than to understand.
DUH! Why do people like Julie think that people can’t simultaneously blame and understand? Why should criminals not be held responsible for their behavior?
The people who are staunch Republicans and also “Christians” oftentimes do not connect the fabric of their belief systems.
People exist who actually think this way! Being a Christian has nothing to do with enforcing the law! Being a Christian does not demand that we allow our nation and our people to be hurt as the result of desperate people invading our country! Why do you think that being a Christian means that we should support lawlessness? Why do you think being a Christian means that taxes should be taken from us by our government to pay for people who have broken the law? I’m all for helping the poor. I’m all for missionaries going to other countries to help them have better lives. I’m all for legal, responsible immigration! I am not for legitimizing 20 million criminals and their anchor babies so that the American people have to finance the failure of other countries!
And it is very difficult to–Jesus said not to judge others (lest we be judged) and he was all about helping out the lowest common denominators of society, which a that time was the lepers.
Julie, the USA is a nation, not a church. Let Christians help those who need help. Christians should never, however, support criminals who are destroying their society.
Clearly, illegal immigrants are shunned at least in word societally, although 12 million people are working here and doing jobs that Americans don’t want to do.
You really believe that the immigration criminals are doing work that Americans won’t do? How pathetic! What a lie coming from the politically elite! Just because Jorge Bushe would never take a job working in fields does not mean that all Americans would not! Perhaps this statement could be modified: “Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans will not do at the same wage” - or - “Illegal aliens are doing jobs that Americans would be doing if the Illegal Aliens were not violating American law by doing American jobs.”
I understand the ramifications of those workers being here and the economics of it. Again, I don’t know the solution,
I know the solution! Secure the borders now! Put minefields, walls, fences, soldiers, and high voltage electric barriers along the border. Keep them out! Those who are here already should be relentlessly pursued just as a rapist, murder, tax evader, or other criminal is pursued. Get these criminals out of this country NOW!
but maybe what I am asking for is consistency between the two sets of beliefs. Be a Republican, be conservative, be a Christian, but for God’s sake, get it together. Don’t claim to be a Christian, then turn your back on people who need you.
Why do you hate Republicans anyway? They are about the same as Democrats! Do you really hate Conservatives? Republicans and Democrats are supporting amnesty. Most of us who are Conservatives and Christians are consistent: we seek to defend our country while seeking to help others at home and in other countries. Compassion does not mean that we should have no regard for law and order. Anarchy and chaos will not help anyone.
Does Julie really believe that Christians should give comfort and solace to child predators? Should Christians give aid and shelter to murderers? Should Christians work to grant amnesty to muggers, lynchers and the like? Christians should work to do good to others and for others, but Christians also have a responsibility to co-exist with the rule of law.
Our nation has NEVER turned its back on those in need. That’s why we have such a liberal and lenient LEGAL immigration policy. That’s why BILLIONS of dollars are ROBBED from our paychecks by the Federal Government and sent to other countries that hate us. That’s why thousands of people volunteer every year to go help those in other countries. Nope. No one has turned their backs on anyone as far as I can tell.
Enforcing the law and preserving our nation is NOT un-Christian!
Maybe this makes me a bleeding-heart liberal humanist, but we already knew that.
This makes you an incredibly ignorant, shallow, unthinking human being, Julie. This makes you a willing, foolish pawn of the Liberal Democrat & RINO machine.
I hope that you change your mind and start working for the good of America. If America is destroyed, who then will work to help the helpless?
