Best of Bennett: The Border

Very funny Cartoon

Very sad cartoon.

Usually I agree with Clay, but the law is the law, and illegal immigrants should not be here or be allowed to work. At the same time, I think there should be a streamlined process to allow workers to enter legally and alleviate some of the illegal entry problems. I blame the businesses that hire illegal immigrants. If there was truly no work without a green card, there would be no reason to come to the U.S. I also do not think that illegal aliens should be allowed to use taxpayer financed things like schools or welfare. They should not have a DL or free medical care. However, as stated before, I have no problem with LEGAL foreign workers, and our government needs to make it easier for our southern neighbors to enter the U.S. and do work our lazy, entitled, unemployed citizens think they are too good for.

I'm inviting memphisexile to take one of those jobs. At minimum wage you would pick about 100 times your wage in product, get no benefits, wrench your back and have no job in a few weeks. Sounds like a great deal for the plantation, oh wait, the small business... While at the grocery store it costs me ten times what it used to for salad ingredients. Hmmmm, wonder why that is?

This cartoonist is the real cartoon!

Conservatives are the real problem

NGAdad...why of course,we should have the illegals(ie new slaves)do all the hard work.I don't understand why our government doesn't have those who are drawing an unemployment check after one year begin working on our infra-structure for,say,twice their check.If they made these ABLE,out of work,entitled people do something to earn their way we could get our infra-structure fixed and people could learn a new vocation.Good workers may even be hired permanently at a higher rate.

Libral, no, you liberals are the problem. No cartoon better illustrates the mess that is the liberal mind than this one. You have to be either downright stupid, or want this country to fall into chaos to come up with or believe this cartoon has an insight.

Just because it's the land of the free doesn't mean it's the land of lawlessness. Come in the right way, and you're more than welcome, break in and you're a criminal. End of story.

This cartoon also points out how liberal thought and propaganda have muddled an issue that's black and white. Only a tool of the left would pump out this rot.

No, we are the country that isn't as good as it's word. One only has to look at the treaty with Mexico to see that all these people have the right to be here. Go get a clue. You want law to be upheld. Start with fining those states trying to go around a federal treaty. "come in the right way"? Who's right way, yours? Since the treaty has been stepped on as much as the constitution, and you seem to know nothing about this, I don't give your "right way" any merit at all. "An issue that is black and white"? Many would see that as code for "no brown people". Who is spewing propaganda now? You don't even know all the facts but you can spew! Just because we have free speech doesn't mean all those talking know what they are talking about. Lumpy, I hope eventually you realize how rude you are being. If someone disagrees with you, he must be a liberal. Stop the name calling. I am a conservative liberal, or a liberal consevative. All you are doing in continuing this rude banter is showing us how you have been brainwashed into thinking it is always the other guy. Well guess what, the guilty party is the guy telling you it's the other guy. Wake up.

liberals operate on the theory that IF WE MAKE EVERYTHING legal then there won't be any crime!

maybe the T.F.P. should hire an illegal alien cartoonist to REPLACE clay!!!lol

Bennett and the other lefties here need to leave their doors unlocked, lights on, and just let anyone who wants to walk in go right in. Keep the fridge stocked, the toilet paper fresh, medicine cabinet loaded, and clean sheets on the bed for anyone that wanders in. Set the example for the rest of us.

American's should not have to pay the price for failed governments in Mexico and other points south.

JonRoss... how do you keep your toilet paper fresh? I didn't know it went stale. Just1 is right, it just depends on how far back you choose to look, much like the Israeli/Palestinian problem.

Perfect cartoon since you're up by the Canadian border, eh, hoser.

Hey Lumpy, back at you, your comment above both true and well stated. I usually stay off this side because the lieberals here are just too childish to waste my time with.

"lieberals here are just too childish"... and that statement would be mature and constructive?

dudeabides - well..how many illegal aliens are living in your house ? If none, why not ? Lead by example.

Been looking for that treaty the U.S. abrogated which would have allowed law breakers to enter the country at will. Can't find it. Kinda like that social contract you lefties squal about. Can't find it either.

justonewoman...what treaty are you referencing?

The pilgrams didn't pay attention to that sign, why should anyone else.

Wikipedia my rump

justonewoman...yeah,read that.Where does it say that all future Mexicans have a right to freely enter into the U.S.It did state that all current people living in the annexed areas assumed full American rights and continued ownership to their lands.It may have been better to have annexed all of Mexico at the time of the treaty as was called for by "some eastern democrats".

onewoman you know and I know if there was anything legitimate about your argumant Eric Holder and Barack Hussien Obama would have already bulldozed every border crossing on the southern border.

It is a fact that this document does give mexican nationals a right to cross the border. That was a huge point in the treaty. But we never honored the treaty. That was my point! We are not a nation that keeps our word. We haven't kept it with the First Americans. We haven't kept it with our veterans. We haven't kept it with our constitution and the American people.

But you guys keep on arguing with that fence post. It seems to be working out so well for you.

justonewoman, I agree with you on some of these issues. So join me in calling for the immediate resignation of Barack Obama from the Presidency of the U.S. That would be the best place to start in bringing honesty and integrity and patriotism to the U.S. government. Don't you think ?

"we are not a nation that keeps our word". Mr. Obama told us that the healthcare debate would be on C-SPAN and in full view of the citizens so we would know whats going on. That did not happen. He also told people that it would "bend the cost curve" which was a lie. He also said that "you will be able to keep the doctor you have", which was also a lie. He told us he barely knew Bill Ayers, which was a lie. He said he wants a successful end to Iraq, yet he made a political decision to surrender Iraq to the jihadists. The list is long.

The Occupy crowd needs to start at the top. The least trustworthy person in the entire Federal government stucture is Obama. He has no emotional connection to this country. You could drop him into any other place in the world and he would be the same person. A radical socialist bent on remaking the society around him into one big nasty socialist circle farque.

justonewoman...where in the document does it grant free access to America for Mexican nationals?I don't believe that is does.With todays events where there are people who wish to kill as many Americans as possible here in America,I believe that to not protect our borders to the very utmost of our ability is tantamount to treason.

Before leftists made so much progress with enacting social programs it was easy to embrace the indigent of the world with open arms. Now that we have this massive, expensive, inefficient cornucopia of giveaways it gets very expensive to pay for the health care and education of everyone that can slip across the border.

It is understandable that the 50% of us that pay into the system would have objections to allowing anyone and everyone to take from it. It is also understandable that the 50% who are getting a free ride don’t give a damn if the producers are saddled with more. You know, those evil “rich” people.

The sign should say "Land of The Free Stuff". What is wrong with the laws on the books? What needs to be changed? Can an American go to Mexico and work without permission?

harp3339...Mexico imprisons anyone caught illegally in their country,but screams to high heaven if we try to keep them out of ours.

What free ride? Are you talking about federal income taxes? What about paying into Social Security and Medicare? What about sales taxes? Does the IRS give people intrest on the $$ they pay during the year when they get back all their income tax back. Nope. But if you owe the IRS $$, they sure do charge you intrest.

How many people in the U.S. are actually on the dole? Is it not mostly retired seniors getting that $$ that you hate paying? Take all those grandparents off the dole and make them go pick fruits and vegtables in Alabama. Do you like that idea BRP?

There is not an easy solution to the illegal worker problem. Food cost is going to soar in the near future. If the employers didn't hire them, then they wouldn't be here taking those precious american jobs that can cripple the body.

The only ones getting a free ride are churches.

Thank all of you on this thread for giving money for the Funeral of Victer poe. When i asked if any of you could donate toward his Funeral, i knew in my heart that some of you would, $400 was given by the ones that could and felt the need, Thank you from the bottom of my heart and the family also asked me to thank you also. May Karma come to you in your hour of need, i know it will.

Sincerely Thank you, Cathy

What American would want to go down there to work for pennies on the dollar, compared to what they can make here?
