National immigrant groups blast Bruning for position
KPTM ^ | April 22, 2008 | ap

National immigrant rights groups are blasting Nebraska Attorney General Jon Bruning's stance against giving legal aid to illegal immigrants and are laying the groundwork for a possible lawsuit.

The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund says it is investigating the issue but stopped short of saying that it would definitely try to sue Bruning.

Raul Gonzalez with the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic rights group, called Bruning's position "legal gymnastics" and that "taxpayers should understand they're going to pay for his politicking," because it will likely be challenged in court.

Bruning cites a section of the 1996 national welfare reform act when saying he shouldn't provide legal services to illegal immigrants.

We need to make Bruning our Attorney General here in Arkansas. Or AG is a democrat bought and paid for by the pro-illegals in our state: AR AG blocks ballot initiative

These pro-illegals completely believe that we are obligated to let in and provide a living for every poor hispanic in the world.

Don't make threats Raul. You should understand that there are plenty of taxpayers who are sick and tired of supporting mexican nationals.

I'll pay for the "politicking" allright. I'll send funds to help pay the court costs of anyone willing to stand up against the mexican invasion of this Country.

Let’s see:
ILLEGAL INTRUDERS coming across the USA borders.....
Illegal intruders are NOT citizens......
Illegal intruders do not have the right to welfare.....
Illegal intruders do not have the right to free anything....

Now, the believers in La Raza think they can sue because a state says—”No free legal services”?????

They can pound sand. Round’em up and send’em back SOUTH.....

Tax payers are already paying for this guy's dirty brethren from south of our borders to drain our public resources. I think most would unanimously say they'd rather spend their money fighting punks like this twit than paying for a bunch of people who had no right being in our country in the first place.

Good for Jon Bruning.

I am always impressed by public officials who have the guts to say what they are thinking.

And he's right. He has nothing for which to apologize.

That the open borders and pro-illegal alien types have their panties in a bunch over this is just icing on the cake.

The nerve of this guy Bruning to withhold free legal aid from people who are here illegally. They should sue!

They ought to demand 10 shares each of Berkshire Hathaway while they are at it.
