“Immigration Reform” = “Amnesty” no matter how strenuously the libs and RINOs protest.

Reagan’s biggest mistake

Immigration reform is sorely needed—in the form of vastly reduced immigration, restriction of birthright citizenship to children of US citizens, and deportation of all illegal aliens. America just doesn’t need any more illiterate, third world leaf blower operators.

“to draw on his life experience”

Yeah, those “compelling life stories” override my rational thinking every time.

Because this chump has a “life experience” I’m supposed to be in favor of amnesty. Go share your life experience with some buddies in Tijuana and clean up a little border crime while you’re down there, Ortiz.

This Rep Ortiz wants a joint merger between America and Mexico. He’s a Mexican so that’s what he wants for his people. It’s the same thing when 95% of Blacks voted 0bama because he is one of their own even though he comes from East Africa and all American blacks are descendants of West African blacks

Mexico is the last country I want to merge with. It is run by narco-gangs. Far better that America stays a sovereign nation with defended borders while Mexico crumbles. Mexico and Haiti have no future except a downward one. The indigenous people are too indigenous.

Amen to that.

Of course, we also need a government that would actually enforce such laws.

You nailed it. Such sappy articles tugging at my heart strings. The “authenticity” of Rep Ortiz’s life experience dazzles dufus liberals.

Why I don’t read the fish wraps

“The House bill, introduced last month by Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., would protect unauthorized workers from unscrupulous employers and give 12 million unauthorized immigrants a chance for citizenship if they meet certain criteria.”

And tightening the border would also protect them because they wouldn’t be able to make it here in the first place to be taken advantage of. And how about this for certain criteria: Sneak back into Mexico so no one ever knows you were here illegally, then apply to come here. Otherwise, they should be deported and blacklisted.

“When I was sheriff, you would be surprised how many news reports of skeletons they found in the field: of women, children, females who died on their way to the United States,” he said. “This is painful.”

I have an easy solution for him. He can tell his Compadres to stay on their own side of the river.

“Ortiz grew up in South Texas and did agricultural work with his parents. He remembers well the barriers and discrimination that he faced as a Mexican American.

“I was not an illegal immigrant, but I suffered having to live in substandard conditions, with housing that we had, working in the fields. “

How anyone lives as a child is the fault of his PARENTS, not a nation they dragged you to! AND this fool is a congressman!
(which is PROOF he never suffered ‘discrimination’!)

And guess what, Mr. Ortiz, PLENTY of White USA citizens have worked the fields and had to live just like you did.
Comes with the job! The difference between you and them, is they won’t get to be an affirmative action legislooter!

Tal vez, foco débil o bombillo débil. Bulbo significa una planta como tulipán.
