What’s this about their “rights” being violated?
There is no “right” to trespass.
There is no “right” to wilfully avoid going through a sovereign country’s border checkpoints, just because you feel like it.
And there is no “right” to stay in that country when you have come in by that method.
Rights??
Took the words right out of my mouth cc. What is with all of this “rights” business??
It’s a sign of the times and how far this Country has slid, when we are seriously discussing the “rights” of criminals and illegal infiltrators who have crossed the border illegally. Instead of treating them like the foreign criminals they are, we are granting them full citizenship if they can simply evade the Border Patrol.
Look at the Somali pirates we captured in the Indian Ocean...they are in Federal Court in New York beginning trial for piracy. How exactly do you put a Foreign National on trial in our legal system?? Their crimes were not committed on US soil, technically they are not subject to US Law, or even eligible for protection under our Constitution, because they are NOT “We the People”.
The “Reasonable Man Theory” says they all belong in Club Gitmo and should be tried by a Tribunal, but we threw the RMT in the trash in November 2008....
Part of the problem is that we have had such horribly inconsistent standards for decades now, about who is and who is not in the Country illegally. For example, if you are Cuban and are intercepted by the Coast Guard while you are still in the water, you are going straight home to Fidel. However, if you can get your feet on dry land, you have just earned a special refugee status and you can stay.
Granted, Mexico presents particular problems because we share a border with them while we do not with Cuba. Mexicans who are here illegally are committing one hell of a lot more serious crimes of all descriptions, than the thousands of illegal Irish who are here as well.
With all of that said, I fully expect the Regime to listen to guys like Gutierrez and use them as the ramrod to grant blanket amnesty to every illegal who is here right now, make them all instant Citizens, register them all as Democrats, and give them all healthcare insurance. We’ll also solve most of Mexico’s unemployment problem because we will just add them to the existing unemployment rolls.
Think you had a bellyful stuffed down your gullet this year already??
