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.

Gee General, can we all break laws like you do? Can we break any law, or just the illegal immigrant laws?

And since you won’t obey the laws now, why would anyone think that you’d obey them if we made a deal with you and passed an amnesty law.

Does he even realize or care how many legal citizens of the United states he’s making unemployed while doing this? Unemployment in construction is very high.

because they fix and repair Powell's house.

As millions of legal American unemployed construction workers lose their jobs, homes, savings, investments.......

the old dimmie myth
the jobs American “won’t take”
what steaming pile of dung

It was that line that soured me on W in '06, I suspect I'm not the only one. The MSM lie is that it was Iraq and spending that cost Bush congress. In fact it was "comprehensive immigration reform" that cost him congress which then resulted in ballooning deficits. Having Colin as Sec of State proves that Bush was no conservative.

For years the Democrats called us monsters if we didn’t increase the minimum wage and provide all kinds of expensive OSHA work place safety rules, along with sexual harassment lawsuits etc.

Don’t Colin Powell and the other liberals realize that all those protections are lost for illegals?

[Deagle]

Of course not! Law and Order seems to have been created only to control the peasants.

Ahhh....it's good to be the Master and not the slave, huh, Colin? you hypocritical prick

[IbJensen]

Colon is such an ass.

Having the illegals do repair work around his mansion makes him feel like Scarlett O’Hara.

[Paperdoll]

The guy simply has no character! Who can be surprised after this ‘Republican’ voted for a SocialDemorat? By he openly admitting to breaking Federal Law he sneers at the rest of us law aiding citizens.

[jettester]

Today, Powell and other liberals/Marxists like him, should be called brown slave owners. It’s for the children, don’t you know...

[YankeeReb]

Unemployment in construction is very high.

Yup, I've heard 25-30% in some areas. I think it's about 20% here in CT.

Explain this one to the unemployed handymen in the ghetto, Powell.

It seems that the RINOs are taking their masks off.

The Democrat-RINO coalition government fooled us for a decade. They kept a lot of the stuff quiet, hoping that conservative voters would remain asleep long enough for Democrats+RINOs to pass amnesty, health care, gay rights, cap & trade...

But now that the Tea Parties have shown that conservatives woke up, and we took out some of the RINOs, the RINO leadership isn’t pretending any more. By announcing his law breaking, Powell is basically speaking for the RINOs: “F you conservatives. Amnesty is coming whether you like it or not. Nothing you do can change it.”

It’s the same thing with Murkowski and all the RINO losers running third party or switching to Democrat. They aren’t pretending to be the same party as us any more. With the RINO masks off we can see they are just Democrats.

” in his words, “what’s keeping this country’s lifeblood moving forward.”

Powell, you idiot. Why are all the countries these aliens come from such dumps???

So much for the rule of law with this rino.

[chiefqc]

Only for non-dumb-o-crats and the non elitist’s.

What a stupid thing to say or he feels that he is above the laws that common people are required to follow.

[marron]

Does he ask them if they are illegal or is he assuming based on something?

You don't think he's judging someone on the basis of ethnicity, do you?

[Siegfried X]

The talk shows will eat this up. They should have every unemployed US citizen call Powell and ask for a job.

[doosee]

Powell is collecting a generous military pension and a employee pension. A perfect example of our new ruling class.

In this photo released by NBC, former Secretary of State Gen. Colin Powell, retired, speaks on NBC's "Meet the Press" in Washington Sunday, Sept. 19, 2010. Powell, a moderate Republican who endorsed Barack Obama in 2008, says the president's critics should be going after him on policy, not "nonsense." Powell said Sunday that "fringe" elements on the right are taking a low road when they label Obama a foreign-born Muslim and peddle other theories about non-American influences on the president's character.

Go to hell Powell. I will say what I want to say about the Kenyan occupier in the White House. Our very own third world advocate who is always against what Americans want and always in favor of what third worlders want. Like the illegal immigrants who invade America. We should send twenty of them over to bunk in your house. I'm sure it's big enough

I blame GW for appointing this dolt Sec of State, thus making him think he has something intelligent to say
