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

Powell said a path to legal status should be offered to illegal immigrants because they do work that needs to get done.

Hey General, when you were in the military, if you performed an illegal act, wouldn't you be court martialed, dishonorably discharged, and maybe even shot?

Powell belongs in a cell for the insane.

Two centuries ago, Powell would have been a black slave owner.

Having electrical, plumbing and other structural work performed by illegals is asking for trouble.

They are not licensed, bonded or available when the house burns or collapses.

Sad thing, many unqualified workers are hired by construction companies in mass produced, planned community developments where the flaws don’t show up until just after the warranties expire. Construction supervisors are not always bi-lingual.

My first thoughts also. I guess if a liberal (which Powell most certainly is) asks the resident status of a Mexican or other dark-skinned immigrant that's acceptible. But if law-enforcement asks that would be profiling.

I used to respect Powell. But that was before he revealed himself to be the liberal he obviously is.

"what's keeping this country's lifeblood moving forward."

Translation: "what puts extra spending money in my pocket because I don't have to pay a market wage for home repairs."

(Also, usually blood moves in various directions. The only time your lifeblood moves in just one direction is when you're bleeding to death.)

Hey Powell... I'm a black contractor who's seen his income cut to near poverty levels by the influx of cheap illegal labor.

How 'bout you explain to me how that's a good thing for my family? I've been doing the "work that needs to get done" all my working life.

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.

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?

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.

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

Colon is such an ass.

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

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.

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.

So much for the rule of law with this rino.
