The priest told his parishioners at the recent Mass that he would follow them.

Why I do not go the Mass anymore.

----Some decided to chip in about $100 a month to share an apartment, but Juan Ramirez said that would mean less money to send home to his wife and three children in Mexico.----

Oh well.

Nothing in the article about a plan to deport illegal aliens.

Homeowner Julie Adams, an outspoken critic of the squatters, said the huts pose fire and safety risks.

Come on, Julie, say what you really mean. You don't unwashed hordes of illegals ruining your property nor do you want to run the risk of them attacking your or your children. It's okay to say it.

Capt. Boyd Long said, "This is just scratching the surface of a much bigger problem: immigration

Captain, this is not immigration, this is an invasion.
Immigration involves a passport and an approved visa.

"We're wandering pilgrims once again," Monsignor Frank Fawcett ...

Boo hoo. Go back home and you won't be wandering anymore.

"My children are studying, and they need pencils. They don't have enough money," he said. Ramirez makes $6.75 an hour plucking tomatoes six days a week, and sends two-thirds of his wages to his family while he sleeps under a tarp tied to trees. It's a slim return on the $2,000 he paid a smuggler to sneak him across the border last summer.

Time to do the math ...

$6.75 (no taxes taken out) * 10 hours per day ($67.50) * 6 days per week ($405) * 4 weeks/month = $1620 or so per month.

His family gets 2/3rds or about $1000 per month, which in Mexico is a FORTUNE.

Assuming he worked 6 months so far, he has earned 6 * 1620 = $9720 with virtually no expenses other than food. That is a pretty good return on $2000 in smuggler expenses. He has already sent back as least $6,000 to his family.

Barry Martin, 54, a retired airline pilot.

Hmmm..suspicious since airline pilots must retire at age 60...unless he has come into a great deal of money somehow I'd suspect that he is either fired or furloughed.

"We're wandering pilgrims once again," Monsignor Frank Fawcett told about 75 people at a Mass earlier this month.

Tough, Father. You're encouraging people to sin. You should be counseling them to go back home and come back here legally, like all other immigrants have to do.
