Disgusting.

[dfwgator]

Just as sickening as Fred Phelps and his crew.

[Right Cal Gal]

And why should he “feel” for all y’all?
You AREN’T his constituents.

And PSST! If you don’t like it, “home” is thataway!

[NeoCaveman]

Just plain sick.

[The Blitherer]

Organizing a political protest at a funeral. Yeah, that’s always gained people a ton of sympathy from the general public.

Winning friends and influencing people.

“Yeison had the megaphone strapped around his neck, letting other youngsters take turns shouting chants into the microphone, in English and in Spanish, such as “We want to be with our parents!” (”Queremos estar con nuestros padres,” in Spanish.”

OK...THEY ARE IN MEXICO. GO FOR IT.

[Turret Gunner A20]

Where’s Bull Connors when we need him?

[70times7]

...shouting for an end to immigration policies and enforcement practices that the demonstrators say unfairly divide families.

Seems simple enough to me. Just reunite your family back across the border you crossed illegally.

[bigfootbob]

Or George Wallace in his youth.

[marlon]

The question I would have to ask is why isn’t there an ICE team with vans dispatched to pick up the protesters and begin deportation right away?

[ljco]

The difference between the Phelps family and these morons is that the Phelps klan are citizens and as such, their right of freedom to assemble and freedom of (sick) speech is protected (unfortunately)....I just don’t understand how Non-Citizens, Illegals, Immigrants....whatever you want to call them.... don’t want to us to enforce our laws, but they want our laws to protect them and their “protests”.

[Coldwater Creek]

Not crazy about Norm Coleman, but every family deserves respect and privacy when they have lost a loved one.

Hopefully the service at the cemetery went well.

[Jaysun]

These people aren’t just disgusting, they’re idiots. Who would expect this kind of thing to work?

[goldstategop]

What you can say? The Open Borders Lobby is willing to take advantage of the Senator's loss the gain political mileage. Now THAT's low.

The elder Mr. Coleman saw action on Normandy Beach and got a Purple Heart in the Battle of the Bulge.

Maybe they were just trying to bring back the nostalgia of the Wellstone funeral rally.

Cordially,

I like the way you think!

This "separated family" cr*p can be stopped two ways. It can be stopped immediately by rounding up the whole family and sending them to wherever the adults came from. And, it can be solved in the future by an Act of Congress that ends the process of "anchor babies," by defining the nationality of a child born in the US as that of its parents (if known to be the same as each other) or otherwise, of its mother.

I'm tired of non-Americans acting in an unAmerican way, by demanding American rights which are not their rights until they obey our laws to come here, if they can.
