“I thought this was a Clinton thread.”

It COULD be, but it’s too close to dinner-time for pictures of either of them for my tastes, LOL!

Boo freaking hoo. What about the taxpayers whose ID they stole scared to death after the IRS bills them for taxes and penalties, who now have to explain to the IRS they didn’t hold down 3 jobs in 3 different states? What about the taxpayers paying for the illegal immigrants kids education and all the emergency rooms full of illegals? What about the employers who paid legal workers and went out of business because unscrupulous creeps like this one hired cheap illegals and undercut the law abiding employers prices? Come here legally or don’t come. Pay more and hire legal workers. No sympathy for me for any of these people, they all broke the law.

I say deport, deport, deport. Send those who employ them to prison. What RIGHT to stay in the U.S? It’s a privilege for those who are here legally.

People judge us but supporting a family is not a crime

Uh, if you commit a crime to support your family, it's a crime.

In the spirit of Jesse Jackson:

If to the immigration laws they cannot comport,
The illegal aliens we must then deport!

“We need to change the laws so they fit reality and fit our values”

How about we enforce the laws that are consistent with American values?

The sense of entitlement that these people display is mind boggling.

I don't think those that advocate amnesty for these people have thought about what would happen if they were to become legal. I bet it wouldn't take a week before they would demand a union for immigrant workers. There goes that cheap labor.

They've had a year to do it. Wonder why they haven't?

On top of your remarks I also don't give two figs about fitting their "values"!

Did Allen Petrie, business owner, ever try to help his employees gain legal resident status? Giving Spanish lessons doesn’t count, IMHO.

Shows that people DO care about the illegal immigrant problem and refuse to support those that employ them.

Their "values" have resulted in the utterly corrupt third world toilets that their home countries are.

You know, the Democrats want open borders. They could pass an open border bill with a teeny bit of help from a few liberal Republicans. I wonder why they aren't trying?

Maybe they like things the way they are? Nah...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Where to start...

“that was just the start for the plant workers and owners. “We lost accounts because of the negative publicity,” Crystal Petrie said”

Worse news I’m afraid, Crystal...You will NEVER get my account...I dont deal with shady companies...

“Bianca Cruz, age 8, asked at the forum: “Why does the government say it takes care of us, then take my mother away?”

No, Bianca, there is no Santa Claus...Nor does Uncle Sam Claus say he will take care of you...someone lied to you, honey...

Christine Neumann-Ortiz, director of Voces de la Frontera, ... said that, as in the past, immigration foes have pitted working people against each other.... But the two groups’ interests are closely aligned, she said. “If a country supports the quality of life of its immigrant workers, it will uphold the quality of life of its citizens.”

That’s right, immigrants are important...but these pepople are NOT immigrants..They are illegal aliens, Christian...

“We need to change the laws so they fit reality and fit our values,” she said.

AHHHHHHHHHHH NO...We do NOT need to change the laws of the US to “fit” illegal aliens...They are not “We the People”...The lcurrent law fit the American citizens, thank you...

“We need a simple, affordable process to citizenship”

We have one already thank you...I’m an immigrant and it was realitively a “simple, affordable process to citizenship” for me...

“The raid has led to some changes designed to make Hispanics feel more comfortable in Whitewater. Following meetings after the raid with members of the Hispanic community, the city changed its practice of having police officers ask drivers in traffic stops for their Social Security numbers, Coan said. “Our purpose was very benign,” he said, merely a way to help collect any unpaid tickets”

You notice that nobody is ever concerned about the comfort of the American citizen community? There is never a meeting with the REAL residents of the area...The Americans are never asked for their opinion or input...The ones paying for everything are never consulted...
