#1 De Nile is a river running along our southern border.

#2 The Daily Bulletin and its sister paper (San Bernardino Sun) have been doing fine invesigative work on the illegal-immigration issue for a year or more. In a saner world, their efforts would get them a trophy case full of Pulitzers - but instead these stories are completely and intentionally ignored by the national papers, wire services and broadcast networks.

Several months back, the Daily Bulletin published an article claiming that not only had Mexican consular officials been allowed to set up shop in INS facilities - but that they had been granted effective veto power over INS operations. People need to be on trial for treason over this - instead, the problem is swept under the rug by the elites (both left AND right wing) and the national media. Given the almost certain enactment of ~~a total cave-in on amnesty for illegals~~ "comprehensive immigration reform" by the new Quislingcrat congress and enthusiastically signed by G-Dub, I'll be surprised if this country's intact in twenty years.

#3 Twice, the pic appears.... and I say,

Gentlemen, as a lit'le ole lady who can bitch, cuss and down good Scotch with the best of 'em, and who really enjoys the "Man" talk with Fred's finest in his choice of women for that favorite, the Rantburg Defender-Scimitar, I find that first picture above, every time I click and see it, to be just about the most repulsive image that I ever have to view. And I do have to view it, cause it is there when I click.

And with a great bit of Texas twang, blended with the best of my Southern lady voice, "Can we not use it again?"

Sorry, can't explain it.... it is just not a pic that is fitting coming from a Rantburg "officer and a gentleman."

#5 Sherry, I have to respectfully disagree. I think that pic is the PERFECT image to post with any story related to illegal Mexican immigration. Not only should it not be retired - it should be seen so often it becomes the first image that pops into people's minds when they think about this subject. Because what these two slimeballs are "telling" the photographer is the same thing that Mexico's people and government, both our political parties, President Bush and the media are saying to all of us.

#6 Sherry I likes the pic but am old enough not to ever start a fight with a lit'le ole lady who can bitch, cuss and down good Scotch with the best of 'em!!!

for years hard working SF hospital staff at St. Marys, UCSF, and Mt. Zion have told me that illegals get better access to health care because it's all free to them yet our Hospital staff cirizens can't afford the high co-pays for standard health care/medicine let alone the elective-new-age-holistic-magnetic-herbs-cosmetic medicine because their insurance packages aren't as good as medi-cal [state-fed]

Medi-cal is free for illegals with practally no limits. Years ago Medi-cal was established for seriously handi-capped folks with obvious needs, a good thing. But the good system was corrupted so long ago that it's unrecognizable today.

I know there are decent illegals but Jeebus lets care about our citizens first and foremost.

#9 I agree with Ricky: that pic PERFECTLY captures these peoples' complete contempt for our laws and our culture. It's the face of the enemy-- one of them, at least...

#10 I thought this was just a picture of a balcony in one of the many apartment buildings I see while driving through Santa Ana every day.

#11 And along the same lines, here's a pic that rather well captures Islam's attitude toward the Western world:

#12 I don't know. I always thought they (in the Pic) were telling everyone what 'size' they are. The size of a finger and about 2 inches.....

#14 Every time I read something like this, a voice inside my head says that this crap could not be happening without Bush's blessing.
"W" stands for WORM !

#16 Sherry, I'm an old lady too, but prefer bourbon to scotch. ;) (maybe throw in a little homebrew too)
No disrespect intended, but I do like the picture. It really represents the illegal problem for me.

I get very frustrated when folks start talking about this globalization of Canada, Mexico and the United States.
Did I miss something? I don't remember ever voting on anything like this. Instead, we are being told that this is what will be our future. Denver being a sanctuary city is so PC it makes me crazy.
My girlfriends cousin works for the border patrol down there and the stories I hear first hand are really sickening. And they don't get picked up by the MSM. No surprise there but that really sucks.
Here, let me shine a mirror on that picture!

GLARE!

#17 Ricky, Jan: if you are aware of significant news about the border/immigration issue that misses the MSM, please feel free to post articles & links on Rantburg, that's one of its functions. Stories told by an employee of the Border Patrol would be great to read here.

#18 Okay -- I ranted in Rantburg. It didn't go over so well. My thought had nothing to do with the immigration problem, I happen to agree with all of you about that (I do live in Texas and work in a part of Austin that often, the only English I hear when I am out of the office, is mine)

It was purely the sexual connotation that grates on me. So -- I'm not going away, I just won't read any immigration articles! Very easy solution. Now why didn't I think of that first before Ranting? Hum....

#19 that graphic has as much to do with sex as a burqa, IMHO - it's all about domination and taking favors at someone else's (our) expense
without the cab fare or a simple 'thank you'

#20 Sherry, that graphic has as much to do with sex as rape does.

It's all about defiant losers pretending they have power.

#21 Frank, like I said, and thanks for your comment of not including it in a post I read before I got to here.

My thoughts are mine, and I will keep them to myself, and just not click on articles concerning immigration, just like I always scroll through the troll stuff, then to ignore reading their trash, click, and they are gone.

And with this, click, and it is gone! No problem. I've handled this pic for several years now, by clicking. Just wanted to rant last night.

So click -- poof --- it's all gone!

Now, I'm off to New Years...... with the new year being dubbed the "year of me" by friends of mine. Physically, it hasn't been an easy year.
