How about.........Leave!

You have a country - yours. Go back to it.

Headline.....immigrants
article....undocumented immigrants

They are not the same

[Principled]

There is not even a mention of the other side of the argument. Not even one.

This is journalism today. It’s advocacy.

[SkyPilot]

The term "Undocumented Immigrants" is itself offensive. It implies that illegal invaders are engaged in something legitimate.

They are not. They are engaged in illegal behavior, and are foreign born Invaders.

It would be akin to calling men who rape women "Pre-Marriage License Husbands."

It is an affront to decency and an assault on the language, and the truth.

She was returning to Mexico — and to her husband — with Steven, 13 years old and American-born.

As it should be - why did you wait 2 years?

[metmom]

They are not immigrants.

They are illegal aliens.

They made their bed. They can lay in it.

[Principled]

You’re right of course - she wasn’t an immigrant when she broke in. She was an illegal alien. She still is. The word immigrant describes a lawful process of coming from another country to live here.

[Haiku Guy]

Hard choices.....

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

More conflating of immigrants with illegal aliens.

Her husband committed ID theft, used a stolen SS number. He was a criminal.

[mad_as_he$$]

+2. I vote leave also.

[xp38]

agreed

I was just stating what the article said.

My post was just showing the usual dishonesty of the slimes and MSM.

[mad_as_he$$]

Mexico needs a $15 per hour minimum wage.

[boycott]

They put illegals like this in the news. Why don’t they profile more of the ms13 types? What about other violent offenders?

What about immigrants on welfare? That is a more realistic profile.

I'm familiar with Hampton... 50 years ago it was a very neat, clean, safe little community with a thriving retail and service community, at least one nationally-known company, was situated on a major (for Iowa) highway and served by three different rail lines. The surrounding farmland - immense, fairly flat and very productive - was divided into small family farms. When our family used to drive through Hampton on our rare trips, we thought it was a wonderful place.

(To be fair, that part of Iowa had a lot of similar towns- Belmond, Humboldt, etc.)

Now Hampton is roughly half foreign-born, Walmart and Mason City took the stores, much of the old Highway 3 traffic is down on a four-lane US 20, and there is one mega-railroad that basically roars through town on the one remaining bit of track. The surrounding farmland is now in the hands of a much smaller number of large landowners... many of whom are/were invested in the confinement facilities that hired illegals beginning in the 1980's... that was when guys like Austin ("Jack") DeCoster tapped into the old Iowa farmers' Achilles heel: greed.

Fewer farms, fewer farm families... the small town goes to hell.
