Why any beds..it should be a cage....why do we have to hear it in front of a judge....we are so stupid...call his embassy and say you have 100 or so here to pick up...and they are getting very thirsty and hungry...and then escort them out of the country...it seems HUMANE ENOUGH for me...enough is the key word
It is total insanity -- derived straight from Washington, which is totally out of control, are really cares less about the impact of its malfeasance and its dysfunctional mode of operation, which only serves its own politics, and not America.
It just gets more ugly by the day now.
I don't know why you folks keep posting to these threads. Nothing is going to be done and it's time to simply adjust to the situation and keep on going. The only alternative is a rebellion -- you'll be killed. Other than that, the big boys want them here for cheap labor and that's it.
Her voice was soft and her manners gentle and beautiful. I detected an edge of worry in her.
I ask her if she were originally from here. She replied, "No, I lived in El Paso, before I came here. That's where my son was born."
I inferred that she is an illegal alien and that her son, now a teenager, is a U.S. citizen.
She seemed overly eager to do a good job, and I felt that this was the reason.
As I sat there, I couldn't help feeling the desire to protect someone like her. I think most people would.
I did not pursue the subject with her, but I did ponder the subject of illegal immigration.
With some reluctance, I think President Bush is right. I don't see how we can deport people like that.
She needs her job. Where would she find a job back in Mexico (if that's where she came from)? Her son is a U.S. citizen. Would we send her back and not him? Disrupt them? Take her job? Pull him out of school?

Within weeks he was working, first roofing new houses, then repairing sewer pipes for a city contractor. He earned $8 an hour on that job, more money than he had ever imagined making in Mexico, he said.

I found this line interesting, I remember when $8. an hour was far beyond the wildest dreams of all but the most ambitious tiny minority of American citizens, I was probably past thirty before it dawned on me that I might one day earn that much. Now, thanks to our government which has relentlessly removed all backing from the currency and inflated the money supply constantly during my lifetime, $8. an hour is now little more than peanuts. In fact, according to most figures currently quoted it is no more than equal to the 1963 minimum wage of $1.25 an hour, I say it is less than that.
