" I feel no sympathy for her whatsoever "

Exactly right. When criminals are allowed to run free, then blend in with sympathy for them, we've totally lost the "play-by-the-rules" mentality in this country.

I don't care if they win the Citizen of the Year Award; the fact is they are NOT Citizens, they are NOT in the country LEGALLY, and in the good ol' days they would NOT have Standing in Court to even defend their law-breaking.

Today, every moonbat who supports their "rights" touts the un-fairness of those who break into our house, and are now supposed to be "part of the family".

[CitizenUSA]

Agreed! Major barf alert. Economic realities? How about the reality of depressed wages for the poorest Americans? Social realities? How about millions of invaders who believe the laws don’t apply to them?

For real! Identity theft is no joke.

I maintain credit monitoring and identity theft protection on my accounts at a cost of $130 annually, just to prevent this sort of stupidity from happening.

It's cheaper than dealing with the fallout of an illegal taking my SSN so he or she can work: thousands in lost income, increased credit card rates, writing to and from the credit bureaus and creditors, etc.

deportation order is for her to leave before the end of the month, of course she will go into hiding, are the high handed act of ice they will hold the order based on the bill that will go no where.

I sure hope that doesn’t pass. It makes a complete mockery of the law.

"Teresa Figueroa would have made a good American, if only we had given her a chance."

Good American baloney! She is a common crook and thief...

I sure hope that doesn’t pass. It makes a complete mockery of the law.

Citizen, her still being here is a complete mockery of the law and an insult to the rest of us that live within the law.

You are right, we are an attractive nuisance. All of the world’s misfits and bums just have to come here.

[tropical]

Both political parties do this. I’ve heard this before, but I’m not sure from what source.

[Riptides]

Illegal Alien = criminal.

End of story.

Those who pander to stunts at the expense of the law disgrace our nation, no matter the party.
