No one bothered to clarify their definition of "immigrant" did they.........I will.....ILLEGALS!!!!!!!!!!!

[RasterMaster]

If you are here illegally, you are a CRIMINAL INVADER not an “immigrant”.

[ARE SOLE]

Ha ha. Now leave.

“You don’t see them going after the Irish. The difference is, the police will stop us because of the way we look. It is all about race,” said Gould, a native of the Dominican Republic.

Show me an Irish protest demanding citizenship and money for Irish illegals and I'll go after the Irish.

What a stupid argument they have.

[ruination]

You don’t see them going after the Irish

Wrong freaking century, lady.

I am stationed in California where it is literally over ran with tax sucking illegals. Now California is in the hole $18,000,000,000 (yes billions) this year alone. Meanwhile, our schools are failing, streets crowded, hospitals in bankruptcy, gangs everywhere, and billions in government aid to them all so that some businesses can have cheaper labor. Go ahead Rhode Island, dig that grave.

Why don’t these immigrants find the countries that have the jobs Rhode Island doesn’t have and then go to those places?

[metmom]

We are all immigrants.

Not if you're here illegally, then you're a criminal.

[Right Wing Assault]

Immigrants come flooding in to a state and then complain there aren’t enough high paying jobs. DUH. People this dumb we don’t need.

They could only get 90 people to show up? I could find 90 illegals on a street corner in Central Falls. Rhode Island is overrun with illegals.

“We build walls for people who have to leave their country for economic reasons,” said Gladys Gould of the Providence Presbyterian Church, one of a number of organizations that took part in “Unite for Fairness,” held at the Pawtucket Visitors Center. “You don’t see them going after the Irish. The difference is, the police will stop us because of the way we look. It is all about race,” said Gould, a native of the Dominican Republic.

She'll change her tune when she or someone she loves is gang raped by the misunderstood members of MS-13. Those poor dears! /sarc

Yep, there’s a few here in Houston too. Last time I saw most of them; they were sitting down in the middle of the streets in a demostration here in Houston.

You don’t see them going after the Irish.

That's because we wisely drove out the Irish after they tried to swarm our nation and declare the areas they infested as historical Ireland. They claimed it was taken from the original (racially pure) Irish by the English by force of arms and that they were there to reclaim the land for true Irishmen. And they drunkenly swarmed the streets waving Irish flags and shouting, "Yes, we can! (Hic!)". And left empty whisky bottles and Harp lager bottles everywhere at the rally site.

That's the liberal playbook 2008. Republicans are "anti-immigrant". I must have missed the single example of a republican who is that. Anti-ILLEGAL immigrant, yes.

[Oldexpat]

There are a lot of Irish here illegally..and I want them gone as well. Illegal is illegal. White, black, yellow or brown..if you are illegal we want you out.

[Myrddin]

The story conveniently fails to mention the problem is ILLEGAL ALIENS whom the press soft peddles as "immigrants". There is a hell of a big difference. Legal immigrants have gone through the appropriate channels to enter the country legally. They have appropriate visas and/or resident alien cards. Some may be working on becoming citizens via the appropriate legal procedures. That is very different from sneaking into the country and doing whatever you want. If you're not here legally, get the hell out. Prosecute the employers of illegal aliens, but do give them the tools to identify who is legal. If they persist in hiring illegals even when they have the means to discern they are illegal, then prosecute, fine, incarcerate until employers of illegal aliens get the message.

.....and this is why I don’t go to the Presbyterian church much any more....it’s been hijacked by moral exhibitionists....they started in the 60s with civil rights; then VietNam; then nuclear disarmament; then the Sandinistas; then gays&lesbians and now it’s illegal aliens....they’re always pissed off about something....always looking to demonstrate their pious anger.
