2 illegal workers just want jobs

That's all I want is a job...

Anecdotes can be found to prove or disprove virtually any argument, including killing.

[MissouriForBush]

My sympathy is solely with LEGAL immigrants who want jobs and have undergone the required criminal and medical background checks, plus endured the long waits overseas. They deserve to be at the front of the line.

Ridge is proving himself an idiot everytime he opens his mouth on this topic. If he continues unchecked, he could well be the first and last Director of Homeland Security who last his job because he refused to perform the basic function of Homeland Security - SECURE THE FREAKIN' BORDERS!!!!!

When South America, Islamic and Middle Eastern immigrants have bribed or sneaked their way into this nation and either turned it into a mini-version of the country they left or taken it over and destroyed the beacon that America represents, dim bulb Ridge may finally get the messaqge that he should have been more proactive about protecting America from her enemies (ie, illiegal immigrants).

Where did Bush find this idiot? It seems he perennially leaves his brain in his other pants.

2 illegals just want jobs ... 20 MILLION Americans just want illegals deported.

[txdoda]

Where did Bush find this idiot? >>>>>>>>>


Bush is only appointing 'open border idiots' to head our immigration dept.

Bush appointed Ziegler ("too impractical to deport illegals") only to replace him with Ridge ("deporting illegals, not workable").

Laws are enforced against citizens, why not against illegals ????

*Laws are enforced against citizens, why not against illegals ????*

Excellent question. Can we say Vicente Fox?

"Americans want us to work here, but they don't want us to live here."

Wrong....we don't want illegal aliens working here and we don't want illegal aliens living here. Your illegal presence creates problems for legal residents of this country.

"Americans need us and we need the jobs."

How much Mexican weed has this guy been smoking? Americans don't need illegal aliens coming to this country to run up huge hospital bills, recieve a free education, or recieve a deduction in college expenses which is denied of legal residents. These illegal aliens do not stimulate the economy as some claim....they send the money they earned home. Time to wake up and smell the coffee folks.

One reason is that the attitude of a gullible naive public is swayed by these media propaganda pieces. I know now (after reading the piece), that this whole debate is about nothing more than a couple of kind hardworking Mexicans who only want to earn a few dollars to send back to Mexico so that mama can buy some corn meal. How could you or any politician be so heartless that you would actually starve an old woman? -- I'm appalled. Besides that, they are just "undocumented" -- not illegal. They probably lost their documentation or forgot to pick it up when they crossed the border or maybe even had it stolen by some mean-spirited racist xenophobic red-necked bigot living in trailer down by the river.

Actually, I wonder if the writer went through the effort of going out and finding these two guys or just fabricated them -- an Al Gore "it could have happened that way" type of thing.

And if he doesn't get a job, he can just apply for food stamps and housing. Heaven forbid that we should send him back. This is one of Bush's votes.

Illegals are clearly beginning to buy the bovine scat being peddled by the moneyed interests & politicians. They really believe Americans depend upon them and are growing a great big chip on their collective shoulder.

I hope these illegals continue to shoot their mouths off - nothing will p*ss off America quicker.

[DLfromthedesert]

"They don't even know who Ridge is"

Folks, THAT is a HUGE part of the problem. Even if these people are here just for jobs, is it prudent to have all these people living here who have no ties to our country, who have no desire to know anything about our government?

AND our districts are redrawn with the presence of these people in mind. SO representation is taken away from AMERICAN citizens to accommodate ILLEGALS!!!!

"Americans want us to work here, but they do not want us to live here," said Mendoza, a native of Guerrero, in southern Mexico.

You're only half right, Gonzalo.

[FITZ]

That's just it --- First they really do just want jobs --- nothing more --- they will work for a few dollars to send back home. Next thing though they decide the wife and kids should come over too --- but the few bucks they can make won't support them so then they want free education, free health care, food stamps, government housing assistance too. Next they want the grandparents and all other elderly or ill relatives to come over to be supported by SSDI, food stamps, Medicaid etc. Then siblings, cousins, and all other relatives.

guess what, baboso? Your president doesn't want you to live in Mexico, either. If he doesn't want you, why should we?

I'm already there.
