Blacks + Latinos + Public Sector Unions = 'Rats in power. Latinos are devout, hard-working, and family-oriented. They should be Republican and Conservative. Workers - YES! Welfare Collectors - NO! Get the illegal workers out into the open, collect taxes from them just like we do others, and kick the freeloaders out!
Agreed.
I have no problem with the CLEAR Act's basic concept, really - any time an illegal immigrant is arrested, they ought to inform the federal government. Ditto for the welfare fraud cases.
But honor students, maids, nannies, janitors, and even folks serving in the armed forces (one of the first Marines KIA in the liberation of Iraq was an illegal immigrant) - hey, I'll take those folks over a Michael Moore, a Barbara Streisand, or a Natalie Maines any time.
