"Waaaaaa, it hurts my feelings when people talk about illegals because my wife is an immigrant, waaaaa."
Stick a sock in it Jeb, your wife was a legal immigrant and nobody has a beef with them, the beef is with all the illegal trash.
Either all laws are enforced or they're all subject to being ignored. You don't get to pick and choose just because you have a softspot for illegals.
"..calling it "just plain wrong" to charge illegal immigrants with a felony,"
I'm not going to pay my taxes this year. If the IRS tries to penalize me, I'll tell them they're just plain wrong.
Didn't his wife also try to smuggle some items into this country to avoid paying duty?
We can always CHANGE the laws - as for "nobody" having a beef with LEGAL immigration, you are incorrect: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1608492/posts
Let us all become a nation of scofflaws and see how the illegals are not criminals crowd likes it.
Illegal immigration is a problem (NSS) but I suspect if the feds would force states to greatly restrict tax-funded services to illegals -- and the courts supported them -- a lot of the problem would go away.
But as far as government law being sacred, I'm not a legal absolutist. If Congress should pass a law demanding I surrender my firearms, I would disobey. If I were a Mexican sickened by the corruption and hopelessness of my native land, I would hop the border. I cannot get upset at them for doing that.
What I generally hear from Bush's opponents is whining or impractical solutions.
My wife is a legal immigrant from Mexico and agrees that illegal aliens are a massive problem and should be stopped. She does pause to offer sympathy since they are desperate (as she puts it), but she agrees they are criminals and must be stopped.
