What about some compassion for Citizens and Taxpayers who are expected to accommodate these invaders?

What is defined as “compassion” towards those that have no respect for our borders? The libs mixing up compassion and leniency again?

It isn’t about compassion. It’s about voter registration.

IMHO

News Flash; You don’t manage a country based solely on feelings and interpretations of emotions. That only works as a short term strategy, say the last week before elections.

Compassion is not the prerogative of government. Its compassion is tyranny. Compassion must remain the sole concern of individuals and their religion.

Compassion is not the prerogative of government.

Which is precisely why "Compassionate Conservatism" was neither.

Where is Mexico’s “compassion?” They are coming from their country are they not?

“They have a brand-new narrative-name today: ‘Americans-In-Waiting’.”
****************************************************************************************************
Martin O’Malley (former governor of Maryland) and the Maryland ‘RATS called illegal aliens “New Americans”. O’Malley and his ‘RAT friends made Maryland into an Amnesty State.

Speaking of which, did I read Hanen delayed his ruling on zero’s stay request... meaning he’s going to give them another week before he says ‘NO’? Anybody got the latest on this?

Illegal immigration is like coming home from work, having someone sitting in your living room watching TV and eating your food, and feeling like you can’t ask them to leave because it may hurt their “feelings.” They may ultimately decide to help you with jobs around the house. They may not. Regardless, they aren’t leaving and soon they are going to start having kids, whom will also live in your house and eat your food.

Yes, he gave the plaintiff’s until midnight next Tuesday to submit their arguments in response to the Obama regime’s request for stay. Any decision on the stay request won’t come until Wednesday AT THE VERY EARLIEST.

I read the ABC (Jim Avilla) article. It was radically slanted and misleading. It ended up with a blatent sell-job:’it’s cheaper to keep ‘em.” I wasn’t surprised, ABC has been all about advocacy for a long time.
