WASHINGTON — Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says illegal immigrants do essential work in the U.S. and that he has firsthand knowledge of that — because they fix his house.
A moderate Republican, Powell urged his party on Sunday to support immigration generally because those who come from abroad are, in his words, "what's keeping this country's lifeblood moving forward."
Powell said a path to legal status should be offered to illegal immigrants because they do work that needs to get done.

Powell admitts breaking U.S. LAW. With this confession , in public no less, arrest him.
Respect is earned and this guy has had everything given to him by skin color,so what are a couple brown people to him?
Can’t the RINO Party disavow him now?
“because they fix his house”
Wait until he comes home and finds everything gone.....
And why should we all be subsidizing the work done on Powell’s house? Has he noticed the current unemployment rate? And that among unskilled black men?

-cheaply.
You tell 'em General! LOL!
General Powell....what would happen to the unemployment rate of your black brothers and sisters if illegals were to suddenly disappear from our shores????
Isn’t knowingly hiring illegals illegal?
There already is a path, Colon.
There already IS a path for the criminal invaders; back to their country of origin via deportation, then enter the line of those who are awaiting U.S. Citizenship LEGALLY
This is common Liberal-speak for AMNESTY for the law-breakers who are then parasites on the taxpayers, and beholden to Progressives who allow them to break the law, and reward them with handouts.
SAME STORY AS ANCHOR BABIES, WHERE A CRIMINAL INVADER DROPS A CHILD, AND THAT CHILD SOMEHOW IS AN AUTOMATIC U.S. CITIZEN, ENTITLED TO BRING THE ENTIRE FAMILY THEN INTO THIS COUNTRY BY APPLYING THE BLEEDING-HEART-MENTALITY OF "we can't break up a family".
Endorsing obama doesn’t make Powell a moderate republican. It makes him a fellow Marxist.
LOL! Very good!
the old dimmie myth
the jobs American “won’t take”
what steaming pile of dung
Nailed it. Good work.
Of all those who put their lives on the line on Powell’s orders, how many of those 7.1% of Unemployed Gulf War Veterans could use the work right now?
Of the 17.3%+ U3 unemployment for African-American males in this country, how many of them would gladly take work on fixing the home of the cultural African-American icon Colin Powell?
Stats from August release from BLS:

Is he saying that there were no unemployed Black Americans who could have done the same job?
