Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa said in his Democratic National Convention speech that immigrants would find life so intolerable under a Mitt Romney administration that they would, “self-deport.”
“Instead of supporting their dream, Governor Romney wants to make their lives so miserable, so oppressive, so intolerable that they would leave behind the life they’ve built and ‘self-deport’,” he said. “But we believe we’re a better country than that. And thanks to President Obama, as we keep on fighting for the DREAM Act, they can remain in the country they love.”
Really, Villaraigosa? You think so little of the immigrants of this country that they would return to their own much more oppressive, and even dangerous countries, just because the American government didn’t give them free handouts?
Villaraigosa has clearly never seen miserable, oppressive and intolerable, if he thinks an America where immigrants have to work toward their citizenship falls under that category.
Try raising a family with no money in downtown Mexico City; try living in fear that it will be your daughter that is kidnapped next; try being afraid to walk down the street or say hello to a stranger; try watching your life’s work go up in smoke because your government expropriated your business and then ran it too the ground.

Well in that case, Go Romney!
I suspect this only reads like satire and is actually true.
Ha to him. Far less sympathy for illegals in the nation as a whole than knows. This is a huge winning issue for us if only they pursue it.
WOW so you mean people who come here ILLEGALLY, committing a CRIME, will just leave if Romney wins..holy cow what is the world coming to when criminals cant stay/sarc
So he’s saying Obama would go? Great news...
Now how about Soros?
Obvious, not being an ignorant, asswad, racist, is not a requirement to be mayor of LA................
celebrities threaten to leave the country too.
Can we help them move?
I don’t believe you Tony. If they are legal immigrants they have nothing to fear. If they’re not immigrants but just illegals, who cares?
I see nothing wrong with this.
I got in to a short argument with a liberal in CA (didn’t know who/where they where. They just commented on a friends timeline on FB)
It started with the CA Lib demanding we dump more money in to “green” crap. When I slapped that down and learned they where in CA I mentioned how well CA was doing with their money and how they are allowing the state to be over run with illegals..
They fired back with “I am offended you would use the word ‘illegal’ “ I shot back with “I’m offended they are here, breaking our laws and using our services while bankrupting YOUR state who is going to come to ME to bail THEM out. These ILLEGAL people you seem to embrace are part of the reason your state is in a HUGE hole that it keeps digging. Call um what you want, they broke the law, they are here illegally thus, they are illegal aliens. I suggest we have another “operation wetback” to clean up the mess..
I figured the CA lib would fire back calling me every code word under the sun..
Nope. They just went away.
“Try raising a family with no money in downtown Mexico City; try living in fear that it will be your daughter that is kidnapped next; try being afraid to walk down the street or say hello to a stranger; try watching your life’s work go up in smoke because your government expropriated your business and then ran it too the ground.”
I think this is something we have to realize, that even with a border fence, national guard at the border, etc we’ll have an illegal issue until Mexico gets its act together.
LOL. Hey Mr. Mayor, look at the statistics. They are “self deporting” already because of Obama’s horrible economy.
I think that’s the point. Romney/Ryan 2012
“We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.” - Teddy Roosevelt
A darn good thing, these are citizens of another country here illegally.
Actually they'll riot for more goodies, and Willard will give in
I didn't think I'd live long enough to see the USA invaded and virtually conquered by another country -- especially Mexico! We've not only been invaded but we pay our invaders to come here!
This Californian says BRAVO to you! If I’d been in on that Facebook conversation, I’d have been supporting you.
L.A. Mayor: Immigrants would “Self-Deport” if Romney Elected
_________________________________________
Tony, why would they want to ???
Willard is just as much an illegal alien lover and enabler as Obama is...
Willard was FOR the AMNESTY Bill...
Said “We cant send them all back”
and “We must find a path to citizenship” for them...
Willard KNOWINGLY hired illegal aliens to do the lawns of the gov mansion in MASS
Willard has not come out against Obana making his unConstitutional EO about the illegal aliens who were supposedly brought here as children...
The illegal aliens have nothing to fear from Willard...
But then again you knew that didnt you Tony ???
Youre just concerned that the illegal aliens might vote for their champion and savior Willard instead of their champion and savior Obama...
Antonio Villaraigosa = La Raza.
Self deport vs. US government freebies? Naw, ain’t happening.
