Better off not coming here in the first place.

"What they are trying to do, I don't think is in the best interest of the citizenry."

What do illegal aliens have to do with "citizenry"?

I don’t see a problem, they can leave and then come right back, who is going to stop them.

Something we never heard in the news is what happened in an East Texas County. A number of Texans were very upset about illegals coming into their county and driving down wages. So a number of them killed a bunch of illegals and laid their bodies on the steps of the court house. There are NO more illegals in that county.

I can already see the headline, “Hurricane Hits Texas Coast, illegal immigrants hit the hardest.”

“On Friday, a group of undocumented women discussed the issue over lunch. For some, it was the first they had heard of the Border Patrol’s plans. “Instead of offering us help when we need it most, they’re threatening us with deportation,” Patricia said. “It’s like they’re taking advantage of a disaster to go fishing for undocumented immigrants.”

Well “Patricia” (probably not her real name), since you know hurricane season is coming, you have plenty of time to take your family and leave NOW!

They count illegals in the US census and use them for political power.

I'm sure that given the chance the Border Patrol will be happy to "document" them.

Most likely they'll be sent for deportation, but they will be documented.

You are exactly right. This is just a pandering journalist story from a stupid journalist who thinks we are as stupid as they are! I’m tired of their whining. I’m tired of their whining. I’m tired of their whining!

Of course families should be kept together! That was why Elian Gonzales was sent back to Cuba, remember? As soon as his foot touched U.S. soil, he had citizenship, but the Democrats insisted on sending him back with his father.

You left one item out of the tale....... Please name the county or courthouse either one would be sufficient?

“Undocumented immigrants must choose between facing a hurricane or being deported”

Seems fair to me.
