"anti-immigrant"

Such stupidity.

We're "anti-criminal", that's all.

No one is anti-immigration. No politician has ever said they wanted to end immigration. We still legalize 1 million new citizens each year. We are the most pro-immigration country in the world

The problem is Teddy, the people you are talking about are not immigrants, they are criminals. And what legitimate interest could these crimnals have in voter identity verification in the United States anyway, Teddy?

There is something profoundly stinky in your screed, Teddy, and do you know what it is that smells so bad?

Dishonesty.

Undocumented immigrants are in fact one of the lifelines of our economy

People like this would argue that lower wages, greater unemployment, and higher taxes are good for an economy.

Someone yesterday posted some statistics on how much these “undocumented immigrants” are draining our economic resources while contributing little to the state and national economies. Someone should tell Teddy Cruz to go stick his rhetoric where it belongs. Go to any emergency room in southern California, in Phoenix, or in El Paso, and tell me how many, if any of these “undocumented immigrants” are going to pay their medical bills. Yeah, right. Are you going to pay it Teddy?

Come here illegally, and you are by definition, a criminal.

Next.

I am VERY familiar with the Hispanic illegal immigrant community (Mexicans, Hondurans, Salvadorans and Guatemalans). I do on-the-spot research EVERY day as I deal with them. This man is a pathological liar with an agenda.

Little Teddy needs to take his Marxist commie BS back to Guatemala. His liberal shtick and stupidity is the reason he had to come to the U.S. to survive.

I’m not going to read that, but could you please tell me what benefits to cities the urbanism sees in I wide open immigration?

The big excuse that we need low wage workers is a lie, so what else does he have?

Good grief? Where to begin?

How about the assumption the author makes that the reasoned desire for a strict immigration policy is fueled by greed, but that coming to a place and demanding goods and services from others is NOT greedy?

This guy is so ate up with the cancer of socialism, that not even a lobotomy will help him. He’s terminal and ready for a decision from the Obamacare Death Panels.
