"The immigration issue is interesting because historically everyone has immigrated, this is a country of immigrants," Longira said.

Stop the wagon!....Hey!...Airhead!...EVERYONE ELSE IMMIGRATED LEGALLY!

[SandWMan]

Hey Miss Longbreather... it’s called ILLEGAL immigrants. There’s that thing called Rule of Law, but it doesn’t apply apparently anymore.

Just like everything else they purposely change the terms of the debate.

Better seen and not heard:

[brytlea]

Longoria said she "would really love to see immigration reform obviously transpire, but in a way that is obviously fair to people in the country.

Obviously was the word of the day I guess. So, obviously she knows the difference between legal immigration and illegal border crossing?

[dfwgator]

Nah, only if they look like Salma Hayek.

"The immigration issue is interesting because historically everyone has immigrated, this is a country of immigrants," Longira said.

Everyone who came here were immigrants. Not all of them were ILLEGAL immigrants...

This is true. Without illegal immigrants, golf courses all of the country would not nearly be in as good a shape as they are.

“She ain’t all that.”

I agree.

But she’ll do.

Not guilty.
