“Many illegal immigrants will have to overcome deep-seated fear and distrust of the U.S. government”

Oh heck. I can’t even do that.

“Illegal Immigrants Feel Fear, Mistrust “

Well, too freakin’ bad.
Most people that believe in their country have had fear and mistrust of
people invading their country and taking things they aren’t entitled to.

Genaro Vicente, 35, a Guatemalan in the U.S. for six years, said it was unfair to make workers return to their home countries.

Cry me a fricking river Genaro. You shouldn't be here at all.

Why is it that idiot reporters have no problems finding hordes of illegals but ICE can't seem to find their asses with both hands and a map?

Ok I’m confused. My problem with this bill is that it doesn’t require them to return home, but according to Cesar Damian Solis he does have to return home first to become legal. So who’s right?

Oh. Btw, high blood pressure warning. Geraldo is having a program called “A Day in the Life” about these poor victimized souls at 8 p.m. Eastern tonight on FOX.

from what I understand, the “head of household” has to return home for one year..... but who knows at this point what the reality is......

Many illegal immigrants will have to overcome deep-seated fear and distrust of the U.S. government if they are to take advantage of the proposal to emerge from the shadows offered by Senate leaders and the White House.

Yes, and this is one of the most hilarious things about this monstrosity. I'm surrounded by illegals and they are the most paranoid people on Earth. The very thought that they would subject themselves to jumping through government verifications and bureaucratic hoops is absurd. Just shows how clueless our governing class is.

Of course, that assumes that this legislation is actually something more than a massive shell game to snow the people.
And it most assuredly AIN'T.

Maybe I am not looking hard enough, but when I read stories like this, I never see the illegal mention if he loves this country. It seems like the majority of what is said is that the illegals have some kind of right to be here and it is not fair that they have to do things to become legal.

Not to become legal...to become A CITIZEN. They are all going to be given "temporary LEGAL status" upon enactment.

"Stroke of the pen, law of the land...pretty cool, huh?"

Disgusted BTTT

Will Geraldo also go to the capital cities of other countries and ask those who applied for VISAs to come to the USA legally how they feel about having been rejected because of the huge number of illegals that the USA needs to absorb first?

Yes, because we are fast no longer remaining a sovereign nation...just a giant employment agency.

Catholic Legal Immigration Network, which employs about 1,200 attorneys and paralegals.

This is a fact! Ever wonder why Larry Kudlow (CNBC Pubbie Cheerleader) continually pushes the "We Need Immigrants" line? He uses the "Media Speak", always equating ILLEGAL ALIENS with legal immigration!

Having credited his "Catholic Conversion" with saving hia life (from an addiction to cocaine...), he is a "True Believer"!

I would propose that the majority of Catholics in this country do not support the church's activist stance on aiding and abetting illegal immigration! Though, given the demographic shifts, this may no longer be the case!

I wish Geraldo would move to Mexico City and take Juan Hernandez with him. If they are so smart, let them fix Mexico.

What’s unfair is breaking the law and being rewarded for doing so...

...just not enough fear and mistrust to leave on their own accord.

I know of a fellow who has been here illegally for 20 years, he has 3 felony convictions and uses false ID to work. He’s afraid he won’t be able to continue to work and may have to turn to day labor jobs. He has no intention of applying for any legalization because of his criminal convictions. He thinks this is unfair.
