Yeah, this was a horrible exchange. Even though Geraldo made his point that this was about "a drunk driver" and not about immigration, it was clear he's an oversensitive Latino.

Like most, he believes that it's ok to be illegal and even made the ridiculous argument that "America is "LURING" these illegals into sneaking across the border.

Typical Geraldo convoluted thinking!

Yeah..... I was hoping ORilley would poke him in the eye or something.....

Jerry Rivers is a Latino?

Is America luring the Mexicans across the border, or is their corrupt society pushing them? Back around the turn of the 20th Century, the Italian government encouraged emigration because the money the emigrant sent back from The US and Argentina was a big, big source of income for a country whose owners only paid pennies to their workers, so that the sweat shops of the New York garment industry offere what seemed good jobs by comparison. Money going back to Mexico is the second biggest source of foreign trade.

Geraldo's wrong. It IS about illegal immigration. This guy has been in and out of police custody for drunk driving, public intoxication, identity theft, 7 times in 6 months and he was known to be an illegal and nothing was done about it. He should have been turned over to INS and deported in October 2006, the first time he was arrested, but he wasn't. Had the local police and magistrates, the courts and the feds done their jobs 2 beautiful young American girls would still be alive.

Geraldo is a publicity-seeking moron.

Actually, Geraldo is half Jewish, half Puerto Rican.

How is that a ridiculous argument? We provide work for the illegals. We provide free health care. We provide drivers licenses. We provide in-state tuition rates for illegals. We provide citizenship to the children of illegals if they are born here.

Should I continue?

Anyone thinking we are not making the illegal border crossing very attractive has their head up their, uh I mean, head in the sand.

Geraldo is hispanic first and American second. That's the problem with way too many hispanics.

 ridiculous argument that "America is "LURING" these illegals into sneaking across the border.

Geraldo is just too nuanced on this position.  Criminals are "LURING"  and "HIRING" these illegals to sneak across the border, not America. I challenge Geraldo to show me a policy of the U.S. Government that says it's OK to lure and hire illegal aliens.  Ignoring laws on the books is a political problem, not a policy.

Geraldo's comment that "illegal immigrants commit crimes at a lesser rate than the average American" indicates the man is mentally challenged.  The very definition of "illegal immigrant" says that 100% of them have created at least one crime.

Contrary to his oath to uphold the US Constitution, the Constitution of the State of New York and the bylaws of the New York Bar Association.

It is every bit as much about illegal immigration. If the immigration laws were enforced, this would not have happened.

[red irish]

I saw the argument and it just goes to show the division we have in this country among Americans. But nobody wants to obey the rules or the laws anymore. Look at how the kids act anymore especially in school!
