I will repeat this one more time and not post here again,since two things are obvious.
The first is that despite the numerous repetitions of my request,some of you insist that it has anything to do with liking,loving,etc illegal immigrants.
All I ask is that YOU
DON'T USE DEROGATORY TERMS (my definition) in your discussion of illegal immigration.
I suppose some of you just want to continue to claim that those of us from out of state are lobbying for love/acceptance,etc of illegal aliens.So you go on to describe the damage to the economy,increased crime rate,etc...............WHICH CAN CLEARLY BE DONE WITHOUT USE OF DEROGATORY TERMS.I can understand the discussion here over wheteher a word IS/IS NOT a derogatory term,but not the insistence in trying to convince us that illegal immigration is criminal/not welcome and illegal!(Duh!
).
Nobody is saying it is good/acceptable,etc.(double Duh!)
The
second thing that is obvious,is that
some of you just "don't want to give it a rest".Even though you understand very well that my request is to NOT USE certain terms,you go on with your diatribe on how illegals ruin your state,etc,etc, etc.
NOBODY IS SAYING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY!(Saying I "understand" why someone would steal bread to feed starving children,does not in any way condone stealing.The same applies to illegal immigration)
I want to thank those who agreeing (or disagreeing) with me,
are willing to grant my request NOT TO USE THE TERM!<---for those that insist I am requesting that you love illegals!
Garryowen,thanks for your post and your regard for me and my family.As you know,the brotherly love from us to you and your guys is reciprocal!Derek gets along with my sons and me just fine,as we have proved in the past!
Last,I want to tell you that I am aware of the ancestry of those mentioned before (
WW,sanguine,TopCrest,et al).If my request had anything to do with "loving illegal immigration"(which it does not) it would still not refer to these fine gentlemen,because they are as native and patriotic as any of you.
DM and SR would not even figure into the equation,since their ancestors were here before anyone else's
I have the greatest love,respect and admiration for the Arizona crew.I do not get together with any other group as often as I do with the AZ,TX and NY/NJ crews.This is in part because of geographic and personal reasons (son lives in Phoenix,I live in NY,etc),but i also get together with these groups BECAUSE I LIKE THEM.If it were not so,I would go to AZ and spend no time with WW,TREETOP<and so many others.There are people in AZ whom I love as brothers/sons.I try not to visit Phoenix without a brief get together with all who want to have a beer together,and always will..................providing I have the time!
With this, I end my rant.
Do as you wish.I have asked for something.I have subsequently told you to do something for me.And now...................I will act on those who insist on ignoring my request .
