Obama: provide lawyers for illegal aliens at taxpayer expense

Not Wright for America ^ | 7/15/08 | Tim Brugger

[Gypsy Man]

Barack Obama believes you, the taxpayer, should pay for lawyers whose job it is to find slick legal loopholes to keep illegal aliens HERE IN THE U.S.

This hasn't received the attention it deserves. In pandering to his far left friends at National Council of La Raza the other day, Obama went off: "The system isn't working...when communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, WHEN PEOPLE ARE DETAINED WITHOUT ACCESS TO LEGAL COUNSEL..."

Illegal aliens can have a lawyer, they just have to pay for it. What Obama means by people being denied access to legal counsel is they are denied access to TAXPAYER FUNDED legal counsel.

Deportation is not a criminal charge and lawyers are not provided at public expense to those facing deportation. If Obama wins, you will find yourself paying for lawyers whose job it is to keep illegal aliens here and gum up the system as much as possible. Enforcement, already not the federal government's strong suit, will grind to a halt, which seems to be Obama's goal if you look at his whole comment.

I am sure those five Supremes will find that every impecunious person on earth deserves a free American lawyer if arrested for crimes.

Should a U.S. citizen that is too poor to be able to afford counsel, has no driver's license or I.D., and has no clue how or where to go to find a copy of his birth certificate be provided counsel if wrongly accused of being in the country illegally?

One more for the AFIRE ping list. This guy Obama is an amazing piece of work.

This guy is right, this is a stink bomb

[visualops]

I think your supposition is preposterous.
That’s the same silly argument against voters having to present ID.

[ByteMercenary]

If one is that poor (no crime there) and that ignorant (stupid?), maybe we should export them.

I am sure those five Supremes will find that every
impecunious person on earth deserves a free American lawyer,
home, education, medical insurance, food, and welfare for life.
if arrested for crimes.

Mythological exceptions are bad things to make laws over.

If you’re for providing free legal counsel for illegal immigrants at taxpayer expense, why don’t you just say so instead of creating some preposterous scenario to justify your position.

“Obama: provide lawyers for illegal aliens at taxpayer expense”

We already do that. Plus giving LaRaza millions every year for their ‘legal council’ plus giving Mexico 1.5 billion this year so they can send their lawyers and providing court appointed lawyers because they’re ‘poor’.

[Antonello]

I think your supposition is preposterous.
That’s the same silly argument against voters having to present ID.

I think my 'supposition' will be a very common occurrence if enforcement ever gets stepped up to a level that would make any real difference. And I see a huge difference between requiring an ID to vote and requiring an ID to be an American citizen. You don't?

[Antonello]

If one is that poor (no crime there) and that ignorant (stupid?), maybe we should export them.

Wow. Just - wow.

A show of hands, everyone - how many people here really support that idea?
