The same principle applies to the subject that the audience really wanted to talk about above all others: illegal immigration. And it was during that discussion that reality went out the window.
It started when a woman who identified herself as a teacher asked what she was supposed to tell parents (who were illegal immigrants) about why their children (who were also here illegally) couldn't go to college or apply for financial aid, even after they had worked hard and earned good grades.
You see, typically, the pursuit of higher education requires a valid Social Security number, which illegal immigrants don't have. Some states also require that undocumented immigrant students pay exorbitantly high out-of-state tuition rates, even if they and their families have lived in that particular state and paid taxes for years.
My answer to the question shocked some in the mostly Latino audience: Tell the parents they made a terrible mistake when they came into the country illegally, and that they compounded that mistake every day that they stayed here without legal documentation.

Next time ask 'em how many illegal aliens they've taken in to their homes to shelter, feed, educate, and medicate. If they say none, then tell 'em to shut up! :-)
You said it much better than I did; bravo!
Yep " Economic Terrorist Invaders" is right.
Protect our borders and coastlines from all foreign invaders!
Support our Minutemen Patriots!
Be Ever Vigilant ~ Bump!
I've tried to read this upside down, and backwards....but it still doesn't make any sense to me.
Am I nuts?
Fare well...friend.
"Am I nuts?"
Hardly. I got tired of Tempest quoting scripture to justify
illegal criminal invaders, so I quoted what the American middle class blue collar worker would say in response.
It is necessary the New World Order".
Liberal apologists will never acknowledge those Scriptures which do not agree with their warped world view.
LA ENTRADA DEL PACIFICO construction underway.
This administration is SCARY..mainly because so many believe that Bush is Pro USA
There was I time I did..but I am no longer deceived.
Oh....I get it now.
FRegards,
Do you have children??? Have you ever had to tell them they couldn't eat for a couple of days until you could getthe money to get food??? These immigrants come here looking for a better way of life, this nation was founded on immigration. Do you think our forfathers were actually born here?? Where do you think all the races in ou country come from?? The only people who truly are Native to this land are the Native tribes. My daughters father came here looking for work and works very hard. Jobs that us Americans don't want to do. Heavy labor and for cheap. if we want some of the leisures in life there are always goingto be someone to do the work. waiter and waitresses, cooks, cashiers construction etc. Well we aren't taking the jobs so why not give them t someone who actually wants them and needs them. People are dying in those countries from things that could of easily been prevented. But they don't have the same knowledge and money like our nation to prevent them from happening.Some of these folks are working three jobs to take care of their families. Do you work three jobs??? Are you able to enjoy life, because these folks don't get the chance to. And what would happen to our family if he were to be taking from us?? Our nation is so gung-ho on families but we are destroying others just because they are so desperate to take care of theirs they come here illegally. America has alot more opportunities then other nations.
Tell them to GO HOME! What I would really like to tell them would get me a 'time out'. Why should anyone pay for ILLEGALS to go to college when there are LEGAL citizens who would also like the same benefits?!!! As if they haven't already gotten more than they SHOULD HAVE from the TAXPAYERS!
Tough *hit! They are what they are; ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!
Response: You are wrong! The Democrats are driving us to disaster at 101.0009 MPH. The Republicans are driving us to disaster at 101.0008 MPH. See, there is a vast difference!
Few Americans understand there is more than one kind of 'law' in operation in our country. One can commit a crime against another person, or one can commit a violation of codified law.
To them, a law is a law is a law, and should be immediately obeyed without question.
It's how government controls the sheeple.
I don't think so.
but there is an important definitional distinction. Criminals are folks convicted of violations of the criminal code, which is usually things like murder, rape, armed robbery, burglary, etc.
A lot of illegals are potential felons for coming back after being deported. Many commit felonies by forging documents. Methinks you are missing the bigger picture here - perhaps by design?
It is an important distinction because, as Giuliani pointed out when he cleaned up New York, the the foremost function of the police should be enforcement of the criminal code, and civil stuff comes lower on the rung of priorities
And now you get it ass-backwards. Giuliani also pointed out the importance of enforcing the small stuff as a deterrent to the big stuff. And that's what more and more Americans have realized in this debate.
I stand corrected! :^)
