"I have no respect for people who HIDE from the law!"
Oh put a sock in it. People are forced to hide from screwed up laws because of legalistic people like you.
You are the exact kind of conservative that would most likely have a problem with Jews hiding from the "law" before and during WWII.
Your philosophy is the very same thing conservatives hate: the worship of an all powerful government.
If ICE and FBI would spend more time tracking real criminals we would all be better off, instead of them wasting our tax money harassing people who just want to live in this country.
And don't tell me that the "Columbus didn't have to get a visa" argument is not valid. Your ancestors came to this land and raped it and took it away from the people who were here before, and you have a problem with someone who just wants to live here and doesn't want to wait for 3 years before the government gets back to them with a letter stating that they lost their application or that they can't come legally because of some lame reason.
Help me out here as I have a bet with my wife. You're agasint the WOD, right?
That's quite a leap you're taking there green. Comparing hiding out until the liberal lawmaker gets things straightened out to the Holocaust? Not a good comparison. Look, everyone on this board knows that she is going nowhere because she is connected. Your post if full of emotional appeals that have no connection to reality, not the least of which being about MY ancestors raping the land. How utterly clairvoyant of you.
"Your ancestors came to this land and raped it and took it away from the people who were here before, and you have a problem with someone who just wants to live here and doesn't want to wait for 3 years before the government gets back to them with a letter stating that they lost their application or that they can't come legally because of some lame reason."
Spoken like a true America hating liberal newbie.
She is free to leave the country. Jews under Hitler were not. For you to imply these two cases are comparable is demented or you are trying to make light of the Holocaust.
Isn't that your screen name on democratic underground? It really sounds like you are missing your dinner conversations with Gwyneth now that she is in Britain.
