"Not 20 feet away stood Daniel Jorge, a Dominican immigrant who moved his family to Hazleton last year after 25 years in New York City. Jorge, a real estate agent, was wondering how he would break the news to his wife, who had been enchanted with the small-town friendliness she found in Hazleton, a small city in the hills 80 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
"I'm sad. I loved it here," Jorge said. He gazed at the police officers lined up in the middle of Church Street, separating crowds of white and Latino demonstrators. "I never in my wildest dreams thought I would see this here in this city."
Dude....cry me a freakin' river.
Perhaps you should have waited in line and applied legally.
Pinger!
"Dude....cry me a freakin' river.

Who says he didn't ? ... certainly not this news report ...
He's been here (at least) TWENTY-FIVE YEARS, and he's STILL frikkin' illegal??? In that time he failed to take advantage of HOW MANY amnesties???
I think you can go 25 years of being here legally and not a citizen. Ozzie Guillen apparently started playing here in 1985 and did not become a citizen until 5 months ago.
