FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
......................................
The group hopes the website and issue benefits from Republican candidate Mitt Romney's endorsement of self-deportation as a solution to the problem of illegal immigration, according to spokesman Stephen Winters.
"A surprising number of authentic patriots have found in their own genealogical searches that one or more of their ancestors came here or stayed here illegally, and yet continued to make a living in this country and have children who in turn became instant citizens," said Winters. "Some patriots, faced with this moral dilemma, have decided to set an example for others. Knowing that their own presence in this country is not on moral solid ground, they have decided to demonstrate the highest level of civic dedication and sacrifice, and engage in self-deportation."
In order to address the surprisingly large number of such cases, Patriots for Self-Deportation launched SelfDeport.org to support, inform, and assist those undertaking or considering a similar move. At SelfDeport.org, patriots can answer for themselves the following questions:
How can I know if ancestors of mine came here legally?
If I suspect that an ancestor should never have received citizenship, am I morally obliged to do something about it?
What support is available if I decide to self-deport?
If several of my ancestors came over illegally, how do I decide which country of origin to return to?
How do I go about self-deportation?
Patriots for Self-Deportation urges all patriotic Americans to visit SelfDeport.org for answers to these questions and more, and for testimonials by patriots who have chosen to live in accordance with their values. "We hope that this resource will help guide other patriots in carrying out this difficult but essential duty," said Winters.

in the Columbia SC newspaper, a very snarky letter talking about how the Republicans ideas are all good, but don't go far enough. The final point praises them for their tough stance on immigration, but says that we should demand that anyone whose family was not here on July 4, 1776, and eligible to vote in the first election, be deported. That way, the letter says, "We'll never again end up with a President named Barack or a Governor named Nimrata." Our Governor was named Nimrata Randhawa and was a practicing Sikh before becoming a right wing Christian Republican and taking the name Nikki after she got married.

(31,464 posts)I wonder if that letter-writer can offer up the bona fides to prove he/she meets those same "immigration" requirements.

(13,868 posts)He wanted to end all taxes while doubling the military budget so we could invade Iran - and France if they objected to us invading Iran. Definitely satire.

You are clearly not getting the ironic message here, Carl. Anyone not American Indian would self deport by these standards.
Stop being a tool.
