Eric Zorn wants to know your opinion...
(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.chicagotribune.com ...
I wonder how much longer before they pull the poll......
“What’s with Eric Zorn’s face???”
His mother was a beaver.
It’s a Chicago poll. Like elections, poll results there can change quckley :-)
I only have one problem with the poll results. I think churches should be allowed to retain their sancturary status. I’m not even catholic. But I don’t care. As long a person is in a church praying and volunteering and doing as the church asks them to do, i think they should be left alone no matter what they did...but once they step out the door or the priests no longer wish to provide sanctuary, that’s it. But law enforcement should need permission to enter and apprehend.
Do we know for sure the son, saul, was actualy born here?
Where and when?
-—to my surprise, the poll figures have gotten even better than this AM-—

I don’t agree with that. Its very nice in theory but if that becomes widespread practice then all manner of criminals will use churches for sanctuary. Heck some unscrupulous folks will probably set up churches as shields for their criminal counterparts.
Spit. But I feel for you. I voted. I am soooooooo tired of a**holes telling me that we are breaking up a family (actually a mother and son). Take the G*dd*mn kid back to Mexico with you. Then you will be together.

Regardless of your personal feelings, do you think Arellano’s case will generate so much sympathy and passion among her supporters that she’ll become the Rosa Parks of the immigrant rights movement?

It’s not looking good for the visiting team........

Done and done!
What is very telling about this woman are her comments yesterday when she was being deported back to Mexico. She said she was “going back to my country, Mexico...” to continue “the struggle.” She never had any intention at all of becoming an American, or ever wanting to become an American. She is Mexican and therein lies her allegiance. One of her spokespersons also said just what the agenda is (and I’m sure her handlers are kicking her for exposing their true goal) when she said the struggle was for “latino rights,” not immigrant rights, but specifically and exclusively for “latino” rights. Now, tell me: Who has the agenda?
91.3
Not a single Swede or Korean in the bunch! LOL!

Maybe she didn’t know the right person. Here is what Senator Durbin said on the Senate floor after the amnesty bill was voted down.
I find this appalling that he can do this, he should be called on this.
Durbin talking on Senate floor:
Among the people now whose lives are going to be left in uncertainty is a mother I know and know very well. Her husband was one of those lucky ones. He was a citizen from Mexico. In 1986, he was given amnesty by President Reagan. He works 14-hour days in a club in Chicago as a maitre’d, greeting people, bringing them to their tables. He and his wife have four children who are all American citizens. They were all born here. But his wife is undocumented. Several years ago, she was deported, 3 days before Mother’s Day, back to Mexico. She was pregnant at the time and wanted to stay in the United States with her doctor until the baby was born but wasn’t allowed. Eventually, I called the State Department. They gave her a humanitarian visa to come back to the United States. Now once each year I make a phone call to ask if she can stay with her family for another year. Luckily, she has been able to stay on what they call a humanitarian waiver. But she and her children never know from year to year whether mom is going to be deported to Mexico. Will it make America better if she leaves? Will it make that family better? I don’t think so. This is clearly a case where this great Nation can certainly absorb a loving mother who wants to make sure her kids have a good life.
He gets her this “humanitarian waiver” every year so she can stay illegally in this country.
Read about the others he knows:

I’m in the burbs about 25 miles west of Chicago, and I can tell you this: Aside from a handful of real moonbats the folks out my way want this woman prosecuted and kicked the hell out of this couintry. And the same goes for her compadres.
Done
Well, that would have to be looked into. Any legitimate church that WANTS to provide sanctuary, should be allowed to. Obviously, once the suspect leaves the building, it’s all over. They can’t stay in there forever. Also, once the church decides NO MORE, then it’s also over.
Maybe there should be a team of religious people that go in and interview the suspect and the church officials to determine if it is a legitimate sanctary situation. It wouldn’t be hard to make up a checklist of minimum requiremets.
