Bilbray is lying and you are a moron for believing him. He is obviously counting the Mexicans killed in the ongoing war -- as in an actual war -- with the cartels, which has nothing to do with us or undocumented immigrants in the United States. There is no other way to get a number so large -- 181 US troops have been killed in Iraq in the last six months. Border agents aren't getting gunned down on a daily basis. That would be BIG news.

They are manipulating you. I hope that makes you feel good about yourself.

This is what I've been talking about. Anti-Hispanic fanatics just repeat whatever they hear or read that supports their pre-drawn conclusions. They almost never verify the facts.

If Rep. Steve King's statistics are correct, over 60,000 people have been killed within our borders by illegal aliens since 9/11. That's more than the fatalities suffered by US Forces during the entire Vietnam War.
You are right! Where are the hippies?
In Congress, of course

"It amazes me that when it comes to wars you will get a massive amount of people to come out and declare that we must "end the killing". All kinds of wackos and hippies..."

Uh, hello, that is why people oppose war, especially wars that are not defensive but wars we start.

Regardless, we are not surrounded by middle easterners but illegal aliens, and in this case we should declare war on Mexico and redeploy our troops to the souther (wait, I was about to write southern border but we should enter Mexico and formally occupy their country. After all they informally have invaded our country).

To Ralph, who likes to frame our being invaded as racist (anti Hispanic). The real racists are those hispanic voters who put their race ahead of their country's immigration laws/enforcement.

Ralph, you vastly under estimate the depth of resentment felt by millions of American citizens towards the Mexican govenment's sense of entitlement by their encouragement of their citizens to come waltzing across our borders.

I forgot to add false accusations as one of the many common behaviors of anti-immigration fanatics. I've never framed anything as "racist".

To Ralph, oh yes you have and I quote, "Anti-Hispanic fanatics...". Hispanic is not a nationality, it's a race.

As far as anti-immigration fanatics, quote a single reference as anti-immigration on any of Digger's posts; keep in mind that an IMMIGRANT has written permission to be in our country. This is all about illegal aliens, who make no promise to assimilate the way an immigrant does.

Our country is involuntarily being turned bilingual, and it's quite rude. Just as I would oppose attempts to turn Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, or Spain bilingual, I oppose the flood of spanish speaking illegals streaming into my country.

FYI: Hispanic is not a race, Copernicus. He opposes Spanish speaking people coming into his country, but nooooooooooooooo, he's not anti-Hispanic.

He opposes Spanish speaking people coming into his country

Where have I ever said such a thing? Nothing wrong with speaking a language, just once you are here LEGALLY why not try to fit into the culture that you admired so much you waited to come to? Obviously our culture is part of the reason for our success.

As for Svlad...

Not once was it stated that these were all border agents being killed. The violence is spilling across the border and we should do everything we can to protect our people in this country. To use your own words, you'd have to be a moron...

Or is it ok that we just stand by while more Americans and legal residents who live along our southern border are victimized?

Stating otherwise shows your true beliefs. Expecting no one to note the violence along the southern border shows your true beliefs. Since when have we stopped caring about our fellow citizens that we would allow them to be put at risk?

They are manipulating you.

By telling the truth?

Ralph, I stand corrected. Hispanic is one who speaks spanish. Immigrants promise to assimilate and learn english like my wife has done; she is an immigrant.

And I repeat, you have no clue as to the depth of resentment in this country towards illegal aliens.

This resentment includes my asian wife of 31 years, who has learned english and assimilated. We are both tired of encountering bilingual english/spanish here in California.

Ralph, I am doing your Mother. And I am Mexican. I love White Bitches........................Viva La Raza. White Boy

If they want peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks that precede cannon shots. We should focus on improving the lives of the people and avoid conflict and learn to live together
