Wow. The article you linked seems pretty biased for illegals. From the article:
"Mayor Tom Macklin, who drafted the ordinance, said the city needed it to clean up substandard and overcrowded housing that is often rented to illegal immigrants.
"If we had known that this was going to happen, we would not have moved here," said Mendoza, a Mexican native with U.S. residency. "Although I am a resident I feel like all the (illegal immigrants). If they do something against them, it's as if they were doing it to me. I am dark-skinned and don't know much English. I too am a target for discrimination under the ordinance." The Rev. Jose Gonzalez, pastor of St. Catherine's Catholic Church in Sebring, organized the prayer service in conjunction with immigrant rights groups around the state.
They came from Polk County, Tallahassee, Sarasota and Miami, he said. Gonzalez invited other parish leaders to join the effort against the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, among them the Rev. Jorge Torres, a priest at St. Ann Catholic Church in Haines City and one of the prayer service leaders. Torres said he came with about 20 of his parishioners."
When I read the article this morning I was incredulous. What part of illegal don't people understand?
It's as if being an "illegal immigrant" is on a par with driving 66 in a 65 MPH zone.
As long as they pick the citrus, strawberries and other crops for crap wages then it's a "wink, wink; okey-dokey thing" to be one.
Talking with one guy the other day and he said the citrus industry depends on illegals and would go bust if it wasn't for the cheap labor. I asked him, "So, it is better to pay 10 cents less for a grapefruit and $100 more for an ER visit to have illegals living here?"
"Although I am a resident I feel like all the (illegal immigrants). If they do something against them, it's as if they were doing it to me. I am dark-skinned and don't know much English. I too am a target for discrimination under the ordinance."
Good example of assimilation.
This racist Mexican/anti American is what we have to look forward to if we don't stop this invasion. He is no"target" but he IS a liar!
