I’ve been thinking about sneaking into another country illegally.

I’m thinking os Sweden. They have a big Nanny state and once I get all the entitlements I can, I will state that it is too cold and demand a tropical climate. Thus Sweden will have to demand global warming or I will sue.

[NY Attitude]

True on all accounts.

[Clemenza]

I should point out to you folks that most of the people living in “Little Havana” not are NOT Cuban, but Salvadoran/Guatemalan/Mexican. The Cubans started moving out in droves 15-20 years ago.

Umm, they cannot prove that they are in the country legally because they are not in the country legally.

My wife is an immigrant (now US citizen) as are MANY of her friends (100 percent legal and in various stages of residence/citizenship).

For a legal immigrant in the U.S., there is NOTHING more important than the possession of proper ID and immigration documents AT ALL TIMES, in order to avoid any problems with the authorities. It's right up there in importance with a pulse, breathing, and wearing clothes when you leave the house.

In fact it is so problematic to obtain original documents (let alone to replace them), that most will keep them safely locked away in a home safe or bank deposit box, carrying photocopies as a safer proxy.

[loreldan]

OK you lost me there.

[PapaBear3625]

As far as I can tell, most of the liberal push to give amnesty to illegals is based on the premise that they are little more than slave labor, and we all need slaves.

And of course it doesn't occur to them that once they are legal residents, and eligible for welfare, their interest in working cheaply will evaporate

[skeeter]

''There will be a tremendous demand on labor, and a shortage is a concern because we deal with a perishable product,'' he added.

The product he's obviously referring to is the size of his profit margin.

[Rider on the Rain]

There should be a 50% excise tax on all money sent out of the U.S. Taxpayers who could prove they are U.S. citizens or legal residents could get a tax credit for the excise tax they paid.

[fabian]

yes, indeed, we can all pay a little more for our goods and have a country of law and order again. Things are changing, thanks to the people.

[redstateconfidential]

To all illegals “So long and don’t let the door hit you in you A#^ on the way out” !

[redstateconfidential]

I am stunned, you have witnessed a moonbat begin a slow metamorphosis, as rare a thing a Muslim openly condemn a Terrorist.

[redstateconfidential]

Their act was Arrogance born from an Ignorance.

[danmar]

...and undocumented workers interviewed by The Miami Herald and El Nuevo Herald

Can anybody give me the definition of "undocumented worker"?

[yorkie]

"Their act was Arrogance born from an Ignorance."

Yes. Defiant, entitled, law breaking Arrogance.

[Delta Dawn]

hmmm...I should probably head up an investigation of this despicable situation. Uh, anyone got any ah, ones for a 10?

It’s for the tolls.

[television is just wrong]

we are a nation of laws. too bad for them.

[Arrowhead1952]

I guess those “in your face demonstrations with Mexican flags” worked out well for them....

Most of the Hispanics I work with were appalled at those demonstrations. Several are here as LEGAL immigrants and others are US born citizens. They were actually against the rallies and demonstrations, and one local Hispanic business lady threatened to fire any employee who decided to participate in the marches.

[Arrowhead1952]

If we could figure out how to control hiring by landscapers and restaurant owners, the problem would be pretty well solved.

See my tag line I've been using for several weeks now.

Seems like La Razza's bad English did them in. LOL

[melancholy]

Can anybody give me the definition of "undocumented worker"?

Yes, a person who is illegally allowed to stay here as a slave. This person will be harvested as a fraudulent liberal vote, ASAP. Here are some definitions:

Undocumented = Illegal Criminal

Worker = Communist

Thus :

Undocumented Worker = Illegal Communist Criminal
