Hit The Road, Elvira...

This is good to see; an illegal alien being arrested and shipped out:

Hit The Road, Elvira

Now, I know some of the bleeding hearts here will complain about her being separated from her son, but she has only herself to blame. Had she just kept her ass in Mexico, she wouldn't have that problem...

Re: Hit The Road, Elvira...

The moral of this story is if you are going to give the law the finger and hide in a church, don't come out and hold a press conference.

Personally, I am opposed to the idea that a church can be used as a shelter from the law anyway. Seems to violate the separation of church and state by granting the church special extra-legal status.

The difference between you and good Americans is that good Americans know that it's not a game, and that there's no way to keep score. Good Americans will do what's right, despite the fact that it might be a very, very long time before the problem is rectified...

I volunteered for the Red Cross this year and I like to help anyone who is willing to work to better him/herself. Dunno if that makes me good or bad.

So the legals are leading 19-1 in the workforce. If they can hold that lead, more power to 'em! If they can't, oh well. . .

ummmmm, no How the hell do you get a illegal lead? the number you gave was 1 out of 20 is illegal.

If your Red Cross service included helping illegal scumbag aliens, it would be "bad"...

Quote:
It is.
People like you are the reason this country has the illegal scumbag alien problem it does. If you people would smarten the fuck up and do what's right, we could solve the problem...

Quote:

Agreed.

However, those who support scumbag illegal alien lawbreakers lose. They're just too stupid to realize it...

If we lost one out of 20 workers in this country, I think we'd be just fine...

Sure, next time I see someone hungry and hurt, I'll be sure and ask for their residency status first

Nope, illegals are here because people are willing to hire them, i. e. supply and demand. Econ 101.

Unlikely, the problem of border bigotry is too difficult to solve.

Maybe we should remind them on how badly they're "losing". . .

Re: Hit The Road, Elvira...

Steve, why do you keep using the term illegals when what is bothering you is not the fact that they are staying illegal but that they are immigrants?

If the illegality was the problem the easy solution is just to make those 12 million people legal workers. But you dont want that, because you dont really mind the illegality, you just dont want those people staying in your country.

Re: Hit The Road, Elvira...

Erik,

I believe Steve has made it quite clear that he has no problem with legal immigration. I challenge you to point out otherwise.

Then why doesnt he just want to make it easy for people to immigrate legally so there wouldnt be this mess? If everyone who wants to live legally in the us could walk to the border, fill in a form, and become a legal worker with all the corresponding rights would you be for that steve?

I have no idea where he stands on reform of current immigration policies, but I do know he is not against legal immigration. He has said this time and time again, as I recall.

A good American would be concerned about an American Citizen's mother being pulled away from him.

Wonder how Steve feels about more H1B workers--who are 100% legal--coming here. . .

Quote:
Legislation seeking to hike the federal government's annual cap on H1B visas from the current total limit of 85,000 (65,000 + 20,000 ADE) - to as many as 180,000 was introduced in the US House on March 22nd, for what is the start of another push in Congress to allow more professional workers and graduates into the USA.

H1B - Immigration USA - Green Card - H1B Visa - USA work permit - H1BASE.com - H1-B - H-1B - Live in the USA
