If they break our laws--yes-they would go\n\nNo one looks at color anymore in the US-its all around . But we do look at bad behavior and law breakers.\n\nAnd I hate to tell you this--most Americans are not blond and blue eyed--Stop watching Bay Watch on TV it is affecting your brain.

I dont think we can shut him up.  However, we can try and show people the other side of the story and why he and those like him are extreme leftists in this country and how that isn't the best thing for our nation.  And no, not shame on you.  It is very easy to swallow the leftist media and its marxist tendencies.

If he's annoying, turn the channel off.

No.  And if a program is enraging you, perhaps its time that you stop watching that program.  I have never been enraged by a television program, and would be concerned if I let something so inconsequential bother me so much.

You keep doing what you're doing, sister! These people believe in freedom of speech, unless of course it contradicts their views! Half of those harping are probably here illegally, anyway! Keep fighting the good fight! We are with you! Sound the alarm and wake up the silent majority! Our way of life is in jeopardy!! And Thanks!!!

Hey guys,\n\nI read your comments and agree with most of them, however, since I found this question under the “POLITICS & GOVERNMENT >> IMMIGRATION”, I figured I would stay on subject. \n\nThis is concerning. If history repeats itself (as it usually does) “The Media” can shape norms that provide a strong reaction from the general public, that can eventually motivate many forms of extermination. It can be dangerous when the role of the media is transformed from a neutral purveyor of fact, to a corporate sponsored monster that satisfies the psychotic and pathological appetites of the masses. \n\nThe basis for freedom of press is to PREVENT governments from regulating fact, to impose politically motivated information to the general public, and/or punishing those who surpass those imposed regulations. Disestablishing freedom of thought (via any media type) is the intention of manipulating the media. In today’s news, we are now seeing major corporations taking control of media sources and creating their own precepts and opinions on global and local issues (and yes even personal appearances as stated above). It’s becoming severe.\n\nSo with the oxymoron of freedom of press that we have in this country (and most others) the responsibility falls on the people to sift through the information provided and expose these tendencies. It is OUR responsibility to prevent these influences on the media that can lead to bogus information on very important matters like……Immigration Reform and the present situation our country is facing with the Mexican border. I doubt we will ever know the real issues by watching just the news. We can however guarantee the opinions we have are based upon what CNN or MSNBC has stated as fact.\n\nI suggest reading newspaper articles from other countries on these issues, and using the internet to understand Immigration Law and the legal ramifications of building an  armed wall to keep them out (or if you really think about it.......keep us in!) \n\nBe good guys.\nIt was nice talking with ya.\n\nThanks,\nAndre M

Freedom of speech does not matter when your cursing and saying vulgor and offending music. I love rap and hip-hop music but alot of the words are inappropriate to play to radio in tv. Children are affected enough by tv and radio, imagine if they could hear everything they say in these songs. I have a child and I will whip his behind if he ever repeated those things!

No before long the american people already tired of illegals and the handouts they get when others can not, the jobs that they take from legals will get fed up and vote in people that are a lot harsher in views than those of the current administration and if the leaders then do not want to do anything then the people will take it state by state to end the freebies. The only sane solution to the problem is to invade Mexico make it the 51st state then there are no illegals

No, because if a person does not like what they see on TV or hear on the radio, they can change the channel.  If they do not like what they are reading, put the book or magazine down.  Once the thing that "offends" you is out of site, it really should not bother you anymore.

No. Having a free society requires us to occasionally put up with the fact that other people who have repugnant opinions are just as entitled to speak their mind as we are. What we don't have to do is take the repugnance itself lying down. It's fine to challenege someone's "stupid racist remarks" whenever they're made, whether "on TV" or elsewhere, and we/you should whenever we see it. Free speech is not the problem, letting racists go unchallenged is.

Immigrants are great, but these are ILLEGAL ALIENS.  It looks to me like a great opportunity for INS to find all these lawbreakers in one place and initiate arrests.  With our being told which companies HAD to shut down completely or partially, that the Attorney General, Homeland Security, or whomever is responsible for fining companies who do hire illegal aliens, really just have a list now that they can follow. \n\nThe protest offended, but didn't really affect me, or the town in which I live.  The following things bothered me:\na.  these protests were for ILLEGAL ALIENS, NOT regular immigrants.  Their PR machine was great in blurring the lines here.\n\nb.  The Mexican flags were still very prominent.\n\nc.  I was soooo tired of seeing all the posters written in Spanish!!!!!!  And the signs that were translated to English were often very critical of this counry that they claim to love so much.\n\nd.  One of the organizers, last name Rodriguez I think, was on some TV shows the day before.  He made very negative comments about the U.S. in general.  It seemed he was leading up to the one comment that made me wonder about the REAL agenda.....he said, paraphrasing, that the southern part of the U.S. was STOLEN from Mexico, and that the people just wanted to reclaim what was rightfully theirs.  Okay, we did fight and confiscate land way back in our early history......but wasn't just about every country formed by gaining land from somebody??  \n\ne.  The whole thing would have been so much less significant, had our media simply refused to give these demonstrations wall to wall media coverage!!\n\nf.  Do these illegal aliens have the constitutional right to assemble like this?  This is just a question I wondered about.......they are not citizens.\n\ng.  IF these folks are really protesting for rights, better conditions, etc., well, I can't help but be curious as to why they don't just demonstrate in their own countries where conditions must be worse.  Couldn't they use this energy to focus on problems at home?\n\nh.  I can't help but wonder WHEN the LEGAL CITIZENS of the U.S. will step up to the plate, care enough to organize as efficiently as these folks, and take our voices and opinions to the streets, all the way to Washington D.C.\n\nWhew, got some of that off my chest!  I understand the plight of these illegal aliens, and this IS a country of immigrants, but it's also a county of laws.  What do you think would happen to us if thousands of U.S. citizens decided to sneak into Mexico, Colombia, Venzuela, Russia, China, etc., and march on their capitols & make demands for rights while waving American flags and speaking mainly English?  How about trying that in Cuba or Iran?  \n\nWelcome to all immigrants, just do it LEGALLY!  We do have a process in place for that.  Many of us feel that we and our country are being greatly disrespected by the ILLEGAL ALIENS. (I am ever so tired of the term "undocumented workers"..............does that mean that we citizens can drive around freely with no drivers' licenses, and simply be "undocumented drivers"?  Political correctness can get way out of hand.\n\nI just about forgot one other thing that burns me, and that's the so-called Spanish version of our National Anthem!  This is not a translation, the lyrics are totally different.  This is the United States.  We speak English.  A common language is necessary for assimilation.  And our National Anthem should be sung in English!  What's next, translating our Constitution, the Pledge of Allegience, etc??

People will forget all about this issue when "American Idol" and "The OC" start their new seasons.The rest of us will eventually tire of going around in circles.And when that happens the government will give the illegals amnesty (quietly) and that will be that.The will be no end to it.10 yrs from now the politicians may us the issue again to get voters rilled up.
