I continue to be astonished at the insularity of the folks in D.C. - this isn't even a partisan issue. People all across the political spectrum are screaming and the suits have got their fingers in their ears and are chanting the same old crap from the opium-smokers in the East Coast press. Infuriating.
Elvira...Elvira...My heart is on fire, for Elvira...NOT!!!
Thank you for your service as a Patriot Guard. They organized a parade and a welcome home ceremony for my nephew and two other guys from his Texas National Guard Unit when they returned from Iraq recently.
It’s a wonderful organization and provides a much needed service, especially for funerals.
Too bad it wasn’t around in the 60s.
How in the world has it come to the big bad Americans against the illegal immigrants.
The real problem, and until it is solved we will have a problem with illegal immigrants from Mexico and most of Central America.
The Problem is the whole government of Mexico is corrupt!!!!! They have as many natural resources as we do, but because of ignorance (lack of education) fear of the gangs and corruption of their government the citizens of Mexico don’t have a chance.
We have ignored the immigration laws, propped up their currency, set up millions of businesses in Mexico and given them billions of dollars in AID and has it eased the illegal immigration problem? No it is worse.
I am really tired of Mexico telling us how we should treat their citizens. Keep them home then.

“Will she become the new Rosa Parks of the Immigration Movement?”
What a joke of a question. While Rosa Parks was indeed an active civil rights activist before her infamous bus ride, I didn’t find it inappropriate at all since it was wrong to designate her to the back of the bus due to her skin color. Rosa Parks was a legal citizen that had a right to equal public services.
Here we have a woman that has broken the law of entry, purposely had a son to allow her to “anchor,” hidden in a place of worship to avoid prosecution of US laws and is then arrested when she attempts to emerge from her “sanctuary” to protest hers, and others, immigration status.
Bye-Bye Elvira.

Did it. It’s overwhelming for our side; i.e. people who feel as we do about the illegal immigrant problem.
As part of getting illegal immigration under control, we should have some laws which criminalize the act of giving sanctuary to them. If a church does so, the people who set policy for the church should be prosecuted.
