Not everyone in Colorado shares Tancredo's opinions.

[datura]

Damn near no one in here shares yours.

Accessing quality child care, enrolling in schools, learning English, finding a doctor, communicating with government officials or neighbors, understanding the legal system and feeling like a valued and welcomed part of the community can all be challenging for members of the foreign-born population.

Ohmigawd! What can we do to help?????? /sarcasm

[Travis McGee]

What's that missing word? Oh yes: ILLEGAL.

U.S. Constitution Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"

Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

Tower of Babel, anyone?

The plan suggests that area employers hold career fairs in multiple languages, create written materials that define employee rights and provide translated information on the skills required to climb through the company ranks. It suggests that town halls have adequate translation services and encourages officials to mentor immigrants into positions of leadership.

[TADSLOS]

I'll say this much, you're as persistent with your misguided message as the illegals coming across the border.

[datura]

What is the term for someone who assists in lowering the living standards for everyone below him on the corporate or company ladder by making sure they get paid less?

What is the term for someone who openly flaunts US law - hiding behind his forum handle to avoid prosecution?

What is the term for someone who hires illegals as a rule instead of American citizens - and thinks that is OK regardless of the results on the macro scale?

What is the term for someone who assists in the deterioration and/or destruction of our nation as we know it? (Other than Senator or Mr President.)

Since when does a conservative believe in open borders?

[datura]

Come on bayourod, you're acting like a troll tonight - post and run.

Let's hear you defend your sorry position.

What a heart warming story! I'm surprised that there is any room for legal immigrants these days, so this is very special. They do need to set up volunteer programs for these wonderful people, so they can learn English. This is the only way they will assimilate, and become successful.

[bayourod]

You post a picture of a truck full of men. Are you trying to imply that those men are Hispanic? Are you implying that they are illegal? Please explain what point you are making. Certainly you aren't suggesting that all people with brown skin are illegal aliens are you?

[datura]

Amazing - try to throw the racist card around here. You of all people.

[bayourod]

"What is the term for someone who openly flaunts US law - hiding behind his forum handle to avoid prosecution? What is the term for someone who hires illegals "

Please clarify if you are accusing me of those things.

[cartman90210]

Certainly you aren't suggesting that all people with brown skin are illegal aliens are you?

That seems to be what you're doing here: "Remember that when you see a production floor that has employees that look illegal, that on the second floor are bookkeepers, managers, salesmen, engineers, secretaries, etc.. who would be out of jobs if the production line stopped.

Oh yeah - here's your laugh track.

[A.B.Normal]

Why welcome them? We do not need more people, more expense etc. Immigrants were welcome to help build America - it is built. Immigrants were expected to help them selves. If they are not able to be employed, adapt or able to learn English why welcome them? These are the same people who were unable to build their own nations into something viable

This welcome crap only will fill up the land. No there isn't plenty of space - we need to grow food, and few reside in the deserts, mountains and most prefer to live on the coast.

Politicians say our most precious right is to vote. So they dilute our vote with every new immigrant, legal or illegal and do not honor the will of the voters to terminate illegal aliens entering at will.

[Rummyfan]

Huh????

[bayourod]

Sorry, I posted to you by mistake. My apologies.

Immigrants that don't have jobs...So then they're on WELFARE...And no mention of them learning the English language...

Get 'em out of MY Country...

[bayourod]

"Immigrants that don't have jobs...So then they're on WELFARE"

Do you believe that every person who doesn't have a job is on welfare? You are aware aren't you that federal law prohibits even legal immigrants from receiving any type of federally subsidized welfare except WIC for at least five years after they come here?

[John Filson]

Corrupt leaders want someone to love them. It's almost touching.
