If you want to dance you have to pay the fiddler.

If they want to immigrate to the USA they should do it legally.

"There’s the tiny Christmas tree, still perched by the window. Over there are the toys her kids should have put away before going to bed. On the kitchen counter, bamboo shoots and dishes wait to be washed. She doesn’t want to move away from this jumbled place, but she knows she has to"

Molina said his fake green card is worthless to extend his lease, since landlords and governments are verifying document numbers against federal databases.

Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. "His FAKE green card is worthless." I can't find it in myself to feel sorry for this guy. If this article was a movie, I'd love to see it on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Daniel Molina, an undocumented Mexican immigrant, said he’ll move even farther when his lease at Shandoka expires May 4. Molina said his fake green card is worthless to extend his lease, since landlords and governments are verifying document numbers against federal databases.

“Some are going to change apartments and move to Montrose,” he said of the 15 companeros who crossed with him a year ago. “But if I go to Montrose, I have to get a ride or a car, and pay every day. The work is in Telluride.”

So Molina said he has decided. This spring, he’s returning to Mexico.

Good! Wonder how many more got the message?

Oh, the humanity! The thieving intruders can't steal taxpayer money as efficiently. Go home. If you don't like it there, fix it. You want to come here, wait for an invitation.

"we don’t have any other alternative"

These people have no shame. To be a criminal, then whine about being "forced" to prove you're legitimately in the country you invaded is too much to ask? To expect others to PAY for your keep, as a CRIMINAL, is somehow a duty of society?

Aiding and abetting criminal activity is a CRIME, and yet, our own government is doing it in so many places and profiteering, literally, by making money using the low-paid illegals. How is this different in principle from running sweat shops back in the 20's and 30's?

So long as the government can violate the law, and courts protect the illegals, society is the one who is penalized, where the criminal illegals are used and manipulated for business purposes, and as long as those businesses are big donors to the politicians, they will have impunity for their law-breaking.

I've scant sympathy. They wouldn't be in the situation they're in if they would've legally entered.

I mean, the entry programs have existed for years and millions have availed themselves of the programs and it's so unlikely that they would be turned away because 'everyone knows that there are many job positions open because Americans don't want to do those jobs'. /sarcasm

[philman_36]

The hard-hearted ogre offers this...“I have a tourist visa, but I’m illegal because I’m working.”
She sure as shooting knew how to go about getting a tourist visa, but she couldn't be bothered with getting a work visa so she could work!

An incredibly cynical article!

Subsidized Housing?

They should be in work camps along the southern border building a fence.

"So Molina said he has decided. This spring, he’s returning to Mexico."

See, you don't need to round up 20 million illegals, you just need to take away the incentives they had to break the law in the first place.

HOORAY !!!!

“We’re moving to Norwood,” Margarita said in Spanish. “It’s going to be a drastic change, but we don’t have any other alternative. I don’t have the slightest hope of staying.”

Move back to Mexico.

[Ninian Dryhope]

"So Molina said he has decided. This spring, he’s returning to Mexico."

Excellante! That is some good news, indeed. This shows that the law is working.

Why should citizens pay to subsidize the housing for illegals?

[Trteamer]

Figures the article came from Telluride. The ski industry would fold if it were not for the illegals. The entire Colorado western slope is dependent upon illegals, so with the democrats now controlling our state government, expect a lot of looking the other way.

[Freedom4US]

"Margarita sighs and glances around the home she’ll soon be leaving.

Like the start of a really bad novel. Tell me this was on the Editorial page. Right?

[crz]

I guess since these people are breaking the law and getting away with it, then there must be no law.

What the hell..I guess we can do whatever we want now.
