[TMSuchman]

AMEN Brother!!!

[Wonder Warthog]

Maybe we should treat illegal immigrants like drug users.

[traditional1]

If you broke into our "house" (the USA), get the hell out. You have NO RIGHT to any benefit in this household, and we don't want un-invited guests who are here to TAKE all they can get ILLEGALLY.

If you lose your ass in the process, you deserve it.

[Verloona Ti]

Gee whiz, that’s soooo sad. Lots of native American born people of all races are scared to go into certain parts of their own city for fearing of losing their wallets, purses, bodily integrity, or even lives to these criminal invaders. Some have had to flee their own neighborhoods or have had to quit jobs because of threats made from illegal aliens. How my heart bleeds to hear of the plight of illegals !

[Lander]

Yes..m31 is the new KKK in LA

shhhhh!

Don’t tell the news media or the worminator.

actually,they know. But live in fear too

[wastedyears]

They should have done this all over the nation from the get-go.

[Logical me]

Great for the great State of Indiana. At least it's a start. Now if California would do it, oh, wait. Nobody will be left in the State.

[bassmaner]

Maybe we should treat illegal immigrants like drug users.

Or {American citizen} drunk drivers.

[muawiyah]

The Queen of England owns a lot of stuff in the Washington DC area ~ always has ~ it's a Windsor thing ya' know.

That does not make her a resident or citizen!

[ChildOfThe60s]

Real estate agent Alex Lino, who works in Elkhart County, says three people asked him the week before last to put their houses on the market because they feared they would somehow lose the houses. One possible reason, he says, is that the undocumented homeowner could lose his or her driver's license. Without transportation, they rationalize, the owner can't work and pay bills.

Undocumented homeowner???? With a driver license? WTF? Can we get any more pukey PC? This really yanks my chain.

When I bought my home in KY last year I had to sign 10 pages of documents swearing my legality and provide all kinds of proof that I am legit American. How in hell do these people get mortgages?? There absolutely has to be serious shenanigans by these institutions. We have people in the lending & real estate industries that ought to be in jail.

[Doogle]

He argues that undocumented immigrants have gained local rights because they've bought so many things here -- things that cannot be taken away.

..your taking away OUR laws and taxes pinhead, no one ever mentions what citizens lose, what we pay,....and there is no such thing as "local rights"..oh by the way Raffie....dial #2 for ENGLISH

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

“That enforces a rule that has been on Indiana’s books since 2001.”

“The Goshen lot has gone two months without selling a single car to its mostly Latino customers. So Mexicar may decide to close the lot in a couple of months, even though the lot opened six years ago and had decent sales until now, Guajardo says.”

2 + 2 = 4? Still?

[Philly Nomad]

But they break into the house and start cleaning it, washing the dishes, tend the gardens, doing odd jobs and fixing up the place - we should hold them in higher regards than the native born meth-head and the six-child welfare queen just because they were “born here.”

If we got rid of all the illegal immigrants, we’d be begging them to come back in less than a month.

[humblegunner]

If we got rid of all the illegal immigrants, we’d be begging them to come back in less than a month.

Total BS.

Deep, fresh, stinking BS.
