Ship 'em to Cleveland, do they?

Being a resident of Columbus, I have often wondered what is it about Columbus that makes it such a hot spot for Mexicans and more specifically, every Chi-Chi's and Bob Evans.

What do you call five Mexican illegal aliens in quicksand?

Quatro cinco.

[Tancredo Fan]

LOL!

The scenario often is the same: Illegal immigrants, who can't qualify for a state-issued driver's license but who must commute to jobs in construction and service, are stopped for violations ranging from broken taillights to drunken driving.

This is better than giving out driver's licenses. You can bet they'll drive carefully now.

I would like to see them start something like that in Kalifornia! We are over run with illegals..... and crime

"As a human being, I can't understand why law enforcement feels compelled to call immigration to pick up someone who's not done anything crimi nal,'' she said.

"I don't understand why they feel compelled to make this a deportation issue. It's a humanity issue to me.''

As a tax paying citizen I can't understand why my country is not doing enough to stop ILLEGAL immigration and I also cannot understand why Latinos believe that they have an inalienable right to be here.

I couldn't resist, given today's date.

unwilling to give her full name for fear of reprisals. She spoke through an interpreter....people such as Fabian increasingly have been snagged in the net.

The gist of the article is that being a Mexican illegal alien is OK, being a Muslim illegal alien is bad (e.g., Mexicans are innocently "snagged in the net" rather than being captured, hook line and sinker).

Also, it appears that everyone else in the story is also illegal: wife, sister, everyone. Amusing that they're "afraid of reprisals," in other words capture as criminals under United States immigration law.

"Julia Arbini-Carbonell of the Ohio Hispanic Coalition said the surrounding counties are not as tolerant of the undocumented immigrant population as Franklin County has been.

'As a human being, I can't understand why law enforcement feels compelled to call immigration to pick up someone who's not done anything criminal,' she said."

So coming into this country ILLEGALLY, and taking a job ILLEGALLY, and driving on our streets without a drivers license ILLEGALLY, and taking his wife and kids to the hospital so that us stupid taxpayers can give them free care, nope, no problem here.

I'll tell you what, Ms. Julia Arbini-Carbonell, why don't you go to ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and try doing there what you do to us here. And when they have gotten done with you, you can come back here and tell us all how bad we are.

People like this are the reason why I've given up on working to get ahead. Screw it. It just doesn't pay to try to get ahead in America anymore unless you are here illegally. Since I don't pay taxes any longer I don't have to worry about my money being used to subsudize illegals, and boy does that feel good!

Not a chance. California has reached the tipping point where Latino political clout has enacted policies of law enforcement being directed to never contact the INS when they nab an illegal. They use the excuse about it not being their job to enforce federal laws, but try killing an endangered species in front of a cop and see what happens.

"Their contribution to our economy in a way is underappreciated,'' Dunn said. "They take jobs that are difficult to fill with U.S. citizens. The restaurant industry would probably collapse without them.''

I call bullsh!t. Sure, maybe the price of washing dishes would rise, but it would be offset by the falling gasoline prices and falling tax burden.

"As a human being, I can't understand why law enforcement feels compelled to call immigration to pick up someone who's not done anything crimi nal,''

Well then, as a humna being you are an idiot - the very fact that people who come here ILLEGALLY are in the country is in and of it self CRIMINAL... Hello? Anyone home????

[theDentist]

And if they could "mistakenly" deport Grey-out Davis along with the illegals...

[raybbr]

Huzzzah!!!to Ohio law enforcement.

I'd like to know what a gang of at least 20 young Mexican men, speaking nothing but Spanish, plus assorted women were doing in the Super Walmart in Wilmington, Oh. Saturday evening. I'm not aware of any crop needing harvesting in Ohio in early May, and less aware of any crop needing planting by humans in early May. I am aware that these people were a mere 1/4 mile away from a very large Airborne Express hub...........walking distance. Interesting.
