So be it!
We all know that ILLEGAL immigration is against the law and your quoting the Constitution brings up an interesting point - why can't enough of us get together and sue our representatives for not enforcing regulations concerning illegal immigrants? Their inaction is threatening the very existence of our country. One possible way to get the Supreme Court involved would be the disenfranchised voter angle - since with many illegals are voting thanks to the motor vehicle registration loophole, they are watering down our votes by not being citizens and voting in our elections.
SA, being a military town and having a large Hispanic pop., is a perfect place for illegals to blend in. They have become a 'sanctuary' regardless of the laws.
These sanctuary cities won't hesitate a Mexican minute to whine for federal taxpayer money if/when their local social servce budgets are drained by these "disadvantaged" people.
Some of these cities may already have their hand out, saying "It's a failure of the federal government to secure the border, we deserve to be reimbursed.".
West Side Neighborhood Profile The area is home to 134,000 residents. Ninety-three percent Latino, the residents are a diverse mix of recent Latino immigrants [codeword for illegals] as well as long-settled families of Mexican origin.
San Antonio’s West Side has been identified as the 11th poorest neighborhood in the nation. The residents most likely to be poor are the children: 44% of them live in families with incomes below the poverty threshold. With a per capita income half the city average, helping West Side families achieve economic success is critical to the work in San Antonio.
Families living in San Antonio’s West Side neighborhoods are larger than average and predominantly stable. While 62 % of them own their own homes, their housing values average less than half of the city total.
There is considerable underemployment and the rate of unemployment is twice that of the city average. The level of educational attainment is also well below that of the city as a whole, with fewer than half of residents age 25 or older having completed high school. One-third of West Side residents have no more than an eighth grade education.
I think a shotgun would be more appropriate!
Mexican minute? Is that like a New York minute?
I knew you'd say that. LOL!
We all have those particular tools that we're comfortable using.
No, there's a short siesta in the middle of it.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh, I needed it, I just read about the BP tipping off the Mexican government as to where the MM are patroling.
