The people in question have always been exposed to deportation.

What the Republican bill is about is whether a president has the right to unilaterally abrogate the law. So its not about immigration policy. Its about who has the riight to determine what it will be.

These “republicans” dont get that.

More loyal to being Hispanic than to being American. Everything else is just BS.

These young people coming up now do not and will not have the intelligence to live free should they have the opportunity. Their minds will be so addled with drug use that they will have to have a government official instruct them on how to have a bowel movement.

These other races do not really care about personal responsibility and freedom. What they are interested in is what freebies they can get from the government. From what I see in the young, the pride of ownership is gone. While they would not mind owning a house, they don't want to pay for it. They prefer to con and scam. They are all victims of something or another.

when those of us that are 60 or older now die off that will be the end of what passes for freedom in the United States.

They are Cuban-Americans who are great anti-Communist assets to the GOPe but unfortunately they also bring a socialistic welfare state philosophy into the room, not to mention a belief in liberal immigration laws.

“Republicans” like that give us three more reasons to need a new political party.

They are not republicans

They are not Americans

They are HIspanic

They never assimilated to become Americans so their loyalty still resides with their brown skin brethren.

Do not expect them to do what aides in the defense of America if HIspanics are involved.

You are off base.

These 3 vote that way to stay in office.

Corbello just unseated a communist democrat.

The seat could flip back easily if he gives his enemies ammunition.
