Speaking of the South, doesn't our "ally" to the south, Mexico, still have one of our Marines locked up? Last I heard, they were not giving him much due process and definitely were not providing him free legal advice.

” A lawyer helping Central American immigrants...”

Immigrants dont need lawyers because the went through the legal process.

Illegal aliens should be treated like criminals, and e happy that we aren’t like some nations that would have shot them trying to illegally cross the border.

Three square meals, respectful treatment, clean linen, soccer and new Korans?

What’s wrong with that?

They can always go the hell home and live in their wonderful palaces again. There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that provides illegal aliens with the right to live like princes and princesses at the taxpayers’ expense if they can successfully sneak into the United States. Throw this goofyass “lawyer” in jail for malpractice.

When truth, logic and common sense don’t cut it, there’s always hyperbole....

Your point on our Marine is understood, but the comparison to Gitmo is legit; they get “get out of jail free” cards too!

The invaders are fed, clothed and housed?

Shocking!

Attorney Pamela Muñoz said at a news conference that like prisoners at Guantanamo, the immigrants at the center in Artesia, New Mexico, are in a legal limbo, without formal charges and without due process ... Guantanamo has housed prisoners allegedly connected with al-Qaida and other groups since the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington.

Leticia Zamarripa, a spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which oversees the detention center in Artesia, said the facility and other similar ones operate in an open environment, which includes play rooms, social workers and access to legal counsel.

Better they were treated like Guantanamo than Guano.
