“There are white immigrants - Russians, Poles, lots of Eastern Europeans.”

Don’t forget the ones that came on the mayflower !

By all means, shut down freedom of speech to save America.

“It’s still speech, and this is not some third-world hellhole or a failed state”

Uh, it is too, it’s Rhode Island.

One man’s attitude is nothing compared to using the jackboots of the state to shut people up.

In his neighborhood, they are over run with crimaliens.
He can do business with whomever he wants.

He asked for a card, he didn’t detain anyone. If no card he wanted them to leave, not stay.

"Inspired by the true stories of Vietnamese refugees who fled their land after the fall of Saigon—and those who were forced to stay behind, Journey From The Fall follows one family’s struggle for freedom."

But don't forget, if you ask a Dem, there were no re-education camps, there was no blood bath. The reunification of Vietnam was peeeeeeeeeeeeaceful.

My best friend (excluding hubby) came from Vietnam with her family. Father was a French speaking, freedom loving professional, and they were punished for it. Cramming into an overcrowded boat with three young daughters under the age of 4. Then they spent 1-2 years in camps waiting to come here.
Most Americans don’t realize the risks so many took to get here. If they did, perhaps Obama wouldn’t have so much support.

See Post 24.

You walk into my place of business. You are an America citizen just like these two men were.

For whatever reason, I, the business owner, do not like the cut of you jib and I demand that you show me your Social Security Card or I will make a citizen's arrest because am a member of "Local Citizens for Law Enforcement".

Questions:

1.) Does my request have ANYTHING to doing with "do business with whomever I want to"?

2.) Would you "show me your papers" as I demanded or would you tell me to stick my request where the sun don't shine.

3.) If you refused to "show me your papers" and I tried to carry out my threat to make a citizen's arrest because of your refusal, would you allow me to make such an arrest since I was merely "doing business" or would the fists fly when I tried to arrest you?

The actions of that man had nothing to do with "thought" or "doing business".

They were an attempt by a private citizen to conduct an illegal search on another private citizen for sensitive private information that can and is used in criminal identity theft and attempting to conduct that illegal search by verbally threatening to use physical force.

If a business owner at his hardware store tried to do that to your wife and actually touched her trying to make his "citizen's arrest", after your wife kicked him in the nuts and called 911, the Police would be dragging that business owner off to jail and charging him, not your wife, with assault and also with attempted robbery.

Mosr Americans don't realize how good they have it, and how great this country really is.
Please tell your friend that it's people like her and her family that made this country what it is today.

I grew up in SoAz and there was a lot of this kind of crap dished to people who had been born and raised in the US (3rd generation +) I got tired of it as well. A good first start - Yo hablo espanol un poco.

From the article - Genao said Richardson lifted a phone receiver and told the men he could call immigration authorities “at any time” and make “a citizens’ arrest.”

Sounds like a threat to detain to me..

But then:
todo que usted hace o la opinión tiene concequesnces, previstos o no?

And yes, I am dead set against Illegals as anyone, maybe moreso - slavery should not be a part of our Nation.

He didn’t say he would make a citizen’s arrest. That’s the Projo’s rag- journalism.

He told them he wouldn’t do business with non citizens.

The anti-american activist cruds are a rent-a-mob. They are professional liars, most bussed in from D.C. They have no credibility. Genao is making things up.

Providence is over run with crimaliens, commies and other criminals. The citizens are fed up.

Plenty of room in Alaska, the unemplyment rate is just under 6%, so lots of jobs. Came up in ‘80 and haven’t seen a reason the leave yet.
