...just stealing what Americans won't steal (and for a lot less money).

I remember seeing a 60 Minutes segment identical to this one last year, so it could be a rerun.

This is being reported in such an unfortunate manner.

As we all know, these are just thefts that citizens of the United States don't want to commit.

< /sarcasm >

Once again, the myth of illegal aliens is stripped bare for anyone with half a brain to see and accept.

I just watched that segment and I was cursing and swearing all the way through.

What the hell good is our so-called Department of Homeland Security! Just another government department that is a waste of taxpayer money as far as I'm concerned.

What a joke we have become and I'm sure our enemies agree.

I'm fed up!!!!

There is next to no crime enforcement. Nope, the illegals see clearly enough what we have going on here. It's unlicensed, it's organized, and it's the Land of Opportunity.

The only reason they aren't stealing from Wal-mart is cause the stuff is too cheap to bother stealing AND re-selling on the black market.

Yawn, you know Bush never said that, by the way when are you calling one of the biggest boosters of illegal aliens in Congress, Rep. Joe Baca(D-CA).

You are always silent about that, kinda of like border patrol union that is always silent on criticism of democrats.

When I found out that an overwhelming percentage of the security, baggage and airline employees at our nation's airports were illegal aliens, that did it for me. I could not fathom that would be possible and it put me on notice to what level the corruption had risen in our nation's leadership. We are living in some parallel universe, to the one where the law used to be something to be respected.

Because shoplifters are not considered serious criminals, they rarely spend much time in jail.

Thievery ought to be treated more seriously. I don't think it's petty. I think it's horrendous. When someone robs me of my possessions, no matter how small, they've robbed me of the time it took me to earn those possessions. They've robbed me of part of my life.

The law? The only thing politicians and illegal aliens have in common is how they can line their own pockets AND scratch each other's backs.

Of course with all this boosting going on, we all wind up paying the cost in the form of higher prices in the stores, a reduced selection of available goods, and lousy customer service.

Well, I agree with the sentiment, but I think you've elevated the debate a little more than I would. Backs???? Sniker...

Hey, these people need something to do to occupy their time between elections and their DemoRat serial voting.

Yes, I see it, too. I look at what goes on in this town and realize we have no recognizeable industry, yet there are new SUVs and fantastic new homes everywhere and the town is sloshing with money. I'm beginning to think the real pros are unlicensed.
