"Immigrants still living in fear"

No, they are not.

First, they are not "immigrants" but criminals who broke the law by entering illegally.

Second, they don't live in fear. The illegals continue to committ crimes with impunity in the face of a Homeland Security dept. that plainly refuses to enforce the law.

Just the other day, I heard on the local radio that the ICE was releasing felons who had completed their sentences back into society instead of deporting them, as Federal laws demand.

This ***hole Ignacio has been living here for a decade and still can't speak English.

This 'reporter' should be indicted as an accessory to a crime.

i’ll wager many illegals are planning to return to mexico

[dforest]

Just GAG ME!

I have a solution for them — GO HOME! They are here illegally and breaking the law and need a one-way ticket back to whatever country they came from! That I am willing to see my tax dollars spent on — one way tickets out of the Country.

[SampleMan]

If only there was a place they could go and not live in fear of deportation.

Perhaps we can create one. They can speak their own language and have their own autonomous government.

We can call it Mexico.

One phrase for these “immigrants”: ESAD.

“Immigrants still living in fear”

I feel terrible for them.Maybe we should send them home so they will feel better.I know I will once there gone.

[FreePaul]

They broke immigration law a decade ago ...

My sympathy just melted away. If I break laws I suffer the consequences. Maybe they will have to enjoy the same "privilege" that I have.

I am not impressed with Ignacio's hard work because he has been here 10 years, has three American citizens and STILL CAN'T SPEAK ENGLISH. I wonder if his children do and how they fair in school.

Just another tear jerking anecdote about the good, hardworking, contributing ILLEGAL LAWBREAKERS.

I seriously doubt they’re paying taxes, except perhaps sales taxes. If you’re not a citizen with a ss#, you’re not paying taxes. If you’ve stolen an id, you’re messing up someone else’s taxes.

[Clintonfatigued]

The have the option of applying for citizenship legally. No one forced them into the country.

[bluecollarman]

They go to church. They broke into my home, purchased fake documents, assumed a fake identity and committed fraud. The oldest daughter does well in school and dreams of college.

Doesn't sound so nice that way does it?

I grew up in Kalamazoo. When I was a youngster there were always some migrant workers in the area during the summer, working the harvest. There didn't seem to be so very many of them, and they didn't stick around after the harvest season. That has changed a lot over the years. When I visit now, I'm surprised at the number of Mexicans I encounter in restaurants and stores.

Kalamazoo has a lot of liberal-leaning folks, thanks in part to WMU. The Gazette leans left as well, so this article sympathetic to illegals doesn't come as any surprise.

They'll get no sympathy from me.

“``I live very fearfully, watch everything I do, all out of fear of being deported.’’

Go back where you came from.

[bill1952]

Personally, I’m tired of any phrase that has “illegal” and “immigrant” in the same sentence.

By LAW someone who enters the country illegally is defined as an “alien.” Ask any ICE agent, provided you could ever find one.

And again, by legal definition they are criminals, and I do suppose that families harboring a known criminal might live in fear of discovery. Tough.

the parents continue to fear a knock on the door that could split this family in two.

[Tennessee Nana]

Since he’s only been in the US illegally for a decade (10 years) and the 3 kids were born here..the oldest is only 9 at the most...

Shes not “dreaming of college” but playing with Barbie dolls..

And theyre all illegal aliens...NOT immigrants

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

"Immigrants living well in USA, Illegals still living in fear"

There, fixed it.

``All it would take is one phone call and you are gone,'' said the father, Ignacio, 45, who spoke in Spanish through an interpreter and asked that his real name not be revealed.

I would like to see the Republicans in Congress push a bill to set up an immigration Hot Line. Call a number to turn in an illegal.

If there are sanctions against companies that hire illegals, or landlords that rent to them, the US government should split the fine ($10,000 per incident) with the tipster.

In the meantime, Congress should also force Mexico to become more Capitalistic in order to receive US aid. For starters, they need to privatize PEMEX.

Immigrants still living in fear

We're even then. I'm still living "in fear" of the illegals invading (some confirmed terrorists) this country.

Where's The Fence???
