All that construction going on in the fastest-growing city in the U.S. Can't have expensive labor, ya know?/

Immigrants?

Oh...you mean illegal aliens!

Nevada's legislature has voted more of the largess of her legal citizens to support illegal aliens, ensuring that more will flock there, further indebting the lawful citizens of the state. Hopefully, the lawful citizens of the state will have good sense enough to route these vipers out of their state capital!

"These are children who've gone through the public school system and their parents are paying taxes," said Jan Gilbert of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.

For once, at least just once, I would like some cold hard facts that illegals are paying taxes. And I mean federal income tax, not gas tax or sales tax. How does the Progressive Leadership Alliance know that illegals are paying income tax when they don't even know if I am.

Immigrants won a handful of protections

Presumably this means illegal immigrants, I get so ticked off at the way the media lumps all immigrants together.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - Immigrants won a handful of protections from the 2005 Nevada Legislature, including measures that preserve their access to college scholarships, aim to improve their health and target human traffickers.

Those that left Cal to go to the deserts of Nevada, my sympathies.

Given the number of illegal aliens in this country today, for liberals this amounts to a large number of votes. If they can capitalize on this particular segment of the population they stand a strong chance of regaining political control.

In recent history, there has been a progressive movement by the liberals to grant illegals special privileges, such as issuing drivers licenses, which has been granted in the state of California.

It all comes down to pandering for votes. It has nothing to do with "compassion." Unless of course it is the socialists/communists form of "compassion."

Las Vegas needs Immigrants. They are the ones shoving those 900 number cards in your face every 5 feet. I even ran into a family doing it. They slap the cards first (whatever that means) then shove it in your face.

It is good that Nevada is kind to those who decamp from California. California is rather over crowded these days. More need to cross the river, and into the desert now viewed as a promised land - and beyond - and beyond some more.

"These are children who've gone through the public school system and their parents are paying taxes," said Jan Gilbert of the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.

So paying taxes trumps being a criminal if one is an illegal alien?

The mindset of the leftist politician these days....

Nevada is Blue State country. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech!

Have you formally registered as a foreign agent of Mexico? If not, why not?

Why in the world would Mexicans stay home? They're not stupid.
