Former Secretary of State Colin Powell says illegal immigrants do essential work in the U.S. and he has firsthand knowledge of that -- because they fix his house.
Powell, a moderate Republican, urged his party Sunday to support immigration generally because it is "what's keeping this country's lifeblood moving forward."
In an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," he said a path to legal status should be offered to illegal immigrants in the U.S. because they "are doing things we need done in this country."
He added: "They're all over my house, doing things whenever I call for repairs, and I'm sure you've seen them at your house. We've got to find a way to bring these people out of the darkness and give them some kind of status."

Well, that figures.
Back in the late ‘90s, many people in both parties thought this jerk should be president, without the benefit of having heard him speak on most of the major issues. Now we’ve gotten to know him much better in recent years.
Americans need to get over the white guilt and stop giving endless benefit of the doubt to every AA who becomes prominent in government.
hunh...whaaaa?
The Peter Principle.
Who wants to bet Rush leads with this Monday?
They must be black. You know, that’s what matters to him most. I bet Bill Cosby has illegal black people working on his house, too.
What does one expect from this asshat, he voted for an illegal alien for pResident did he not?
Ezactly. Does it matter if you are a D or R?
So he’s paying them cash under the table?? No withholding?
Sounds more like the liberals I know.
His ignorance and non-compliance with law really bothers me! If this is acceptable, then make it law, otherwise enforce it!
The more I read about this kind of blatant ignoring of current law, the angrier I get...and the idiot press just passes it over...
Is it no wonder that we are losing our “Law and Order” society? Is this what they are shooting for?
He was a political affirmative action general.
No, I don't think so. He served two tours in Viet Nam and was injured (and decorated) both times. He is an intelligent and able man, by all accounts.
WTF is he above the law?
Surely you meant Peter’s Corollary...
To be even more specific....Mr Powell your attitude is a major factor in the fact that the unemployment rate among your black brothers and sisters is so high.Get the wet...sorry,"illegals"...out and *black* unemployment *plummets*!
Powel, you dumb bass, are you being intentionally stupid? Immigration is not the problem. Republicans must not become pro-ILLEGAL-immigration like you. It's people like you who are hiring ILLEGAL immigrants. I bet there are plenty of bros who would love those jobs. /s
Calling Powell a "moderate" Republican reminds me of an old Woody Allen joke about his rabbi:
"He was a reformed rabbi. He was a really reformed rabbi. He was a nazi"
I’m sure he pays minimum wage...
Powell is one sorry sack of cow crap.....doom on him .
