The GOP does not yet understand how strong the immigration issue is with the rank and file members.

[Types_with_Fist]

Good riddance. Colorado has absorbed more than its share of illegals, crime and poverty. May all traitors and panderers suffer the same fate.

I really feel betrayed by my community," said Selders

I believe it was the other way around Mr. ex-Mayor.

Liberal RINO panders to illegals. Liberal RINO loses reelection. Happy ending.

There were a lot of people who were waiting to be heard in their anonymous way.

The beauty of the ballot box.

"I really feel betrayed by my community," said Selders, 61.

Arrogant bastard forgot who he worked for and got what he deserved by the "silent majority."

[panthermom]

"People didn't believe [in Selders] because he is white,

That certainly says alot.

[dforest]

No doubt, Mr. Selders, the good citizens of Greeley are fed up with their town being an illegal hotbed for the Swift plant. They were sick and tired of the proud culture of their town becoming a Little Mexico.

Quit whining, you sir, are one of the many politicians who is, or will be, washed out to sea until you catch on to the fact that you need to back the concerns of all US citizens, not just that of the Swift plant and it’s employees who are breaking the laws of the USA. Your pandering has endangered the health and well being of the citizens who trusted you.

[Labyrinthos]

"Many families and children were devastated by parents being arrested and detained," Selders said. "Children -- citizens of the United States -- were left without parents."

That happens all the time when the parents of citizen children break the law. Daddy doesn't file a tax return and his young helpless children may be visiting him in the Federal pokey. Mommy turns tricks to earn a little extra money to buy the kids food, and the kids are now in the care of foster parents. I bet half the criminals in our prisons attribute their criminal behavior to trying to make a better life for their families. American citizens break the law and they go to jail and familes are devasted. Illegal aliens break the law by not only entering and/or remaining in the United States illegally, but by unlawfuly procuring and using fake documentation to unlawfully obtain a job and other benefits, and we're supposed to give these criminals a free ride because "of the children." Boo Hoo!

[Joe Boucher]

throw out all politicians who support illegals.
Vote for the U.S.A., not illegals.

From the article:

As an agricultural hub, Greeley has long had Latino residents. But the Latino population soared in recent decades as the meatpacking industry shifted to an immigrant-heavy workforce. Latinos now make up about one-third of the city's 90,000 residents.

I wonder how many blue collar guys supported families 30 years ago by working at that plant? These days, these businesses can get away with hiring illegals for pennies for jobs that ordinary Americans used to hold to support their families.

Now signs in City Hall are bilingual. One in 5 Greeley elementary school students needs help speaking or reading English. Critics blame illegal immigrants for part of the $36 million a year in uncollected bills at the local hospital, and a 73% rise in violent crime since 2000.

This kind of thing is happening everywhere in America, from smaller towns to medium sized cities. When I was growing up, I never even saw a Mexican in my little town in southern Virginia. Now they, their language and their culture are everywhere.

That is precisely why Americans are so damned furious about this issue. We really have been invaded and our elected leaders simply don't care.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Tom Selders is still baffled ....

Idiot.

[Mister Da]

Imagine a rep from Swift coming to your town & announcing that a new plant will be built in your town. The plant will employ 1300 - mainly illegal aliens, as the wages & benefits will be too low to attract local workers. Given this, local hospitals, schools, & gov’t will have to “subsidize” these workers with handouts & free services. Crime will go up, as ILLEGAL aliens are likely to continue to break the law.

Right thinking people would tell Swift to go away & don’t come back. That is what Greeley should do. Swift is running a criminal enterprise & should be run out of town. Tell them to open their plant in Mexico if they want Mexican workers at slave wages.

[Carbonado]

Two things here:

1) This is just another case of the MSM attempting to frame this issue along the guidelines they prefer, and from the perspective that THEY are the enlightened compassionate among us and we illiterate boobs in flyover country need to come to heel, and
2) ANYONE who refers to lawbreaking illegals as “undocumented workers” or any other falsely crafted euphemism brands themselves as my enemy right then and there, period.

Lets face it, the general public knows damn well who their friends are and who is selling them out (for whatever reasons). The cozy corrupt relationship between the various anti-citizen pro illegal groups is plain for all to see, even when those groups are suposedly mortal enemies.

Attempts to Lionize a politician who tries their best to please the corrupt media or corrupt business interests against the best interests and wishes of their constituency is a daily occurrence. I believe the public is getting ever more aware of the endemic corruption in both the media and government, and therefore are ever more resistant to the ham fisted attempts by those arrogant elitists to corral the public into some sort of accommodation to the elites wishes.

When the economy has a serious downturn you will see the citizens of this country treat their enemies, whoever they are, as enemies. God help the politician who believes they are in office to represent the media, Leftists or corrupt selfish business interests.

[Flintlock]

Note the dirtiest of the dirty secrets:
His ALLIES on the side of the Illegals wouldn’t support him because “he’s WHITE”. They HATE us, boys and girls—and never forget it. Those Illegals are NOT here for warm and fuzzy reasons. They want to take, and rip us off.

[Travis McGee]

Poor little Quisling got fired. Boo frikkin’ hoo.

[melancholy]

said activist Sylvia Martinez. "People didn't believe [in Selders] because he is white, because he is a Republican, because he is a businessman," she said. "I don't think a lot of people believed he was running for his life."

This is how the racists vote, folks. Imagine when we add another 150 million of these to our tight 50/50 voters. It'll be RATs forever and ever!

It's wonderful that this pro-illegals got fired. It's another shot across the bows of others come Nov. '08.

Only the likes of Sen. Lott showed "bravery" and stood up to angry Americans by saying YES on amnesty. Bravery, my foot! He turned to be as we all thought; a first class coward who knew he's quitting before finishing his term and getting fired in the process. Good riddance!
