I met women in Amsterdam who went to prostitute so their Central American kids could eat. Does that make it right?
If they are illegal, why should their opinion matter, they are here illegally.
If they are here legally, well, when did being and staying in the United States without being a CITIZEN become an entitlement.
Illegal aliens are NOT immigrants.
What's wrong with the governments in Latin America, that it is so generally such a great place to be from?Bush is looking to promote democracy, we sure need it in Latin America so its people might stop the slow-motion invasion of the US.
If here illegally screw them put them on a leaky boat. If here legally, welcome and GOD bless now get a job, learn english stay off the public dole and stay the hell out of trouble or get on that leaky boat.
Cherry picking sob stories will not change the big picture realities. Cheap labor is NEVER cheap.
Democracy is the last thing these illegals seek when sneaking into our country.
So, it's a "right" to continue doing something illegally?
RIGHT??? No one has a right to live in the US but natural born citizens or legalized immigrants. These squatters should have been deported decades ago. They had no right to take a job from a citizen and send the cash home to their relatives. They should be at home, improving their own pathetic countries. This is the 21st century, like it or not. America has no obligation to take in the third world just because they are too lazy or cowardly to change their own societies.
They could come to MA, where the state AG (among others) is pushing for in-state tuition rates at state colleges for illegals.
Which brings us to the larger question of how office-holders supposedly sworn to uphold the law can decide on their own which laws (or non-laws, as with Spitzer) to uphold and which to brazenly announce that they will not enforce. I'm not usually one to resort to "there oughta be a law," but isn't there something wrong with this picture?
I can see being in such a position -- faced with a law one is opposed to, but wouldn't the honorable thing be either to enforce it anyway or to explain why one is opposed and then to resign? Oh, wait, these are politicians . . .
If she can't feed her children, she should not have any. Bank robbers also commit crimes to, among others, feed their children. This is no excuse to break our laws.
So these people have Temporary Protected Status? Okay- sounds like they are here properly- albeit temporarily.
It's the ones who invade without permission that need to be deported.
Bush's program would grant temporary work permits to millions of illegal workers for perhaps up to six years.
Spot the problem.

If true she was eligible for amnesties offered in 1986, 1994, 2 in 1997, and 2 in 2000. Why didn't she take advantage of any of them?
Spot on. Illegal aliens are criminals, plain and simple.
A buddy of mine married a Brazilian girl. This girl has two degrees, one a Masters. She speaks 7 languages and is gainfully employed by a major airline and has been for at least 10 years. They've been trying to get her naturalized for SEVEN YEARS.
The moral of this story is, if you are indigent, illiterate, have communicable diseases or are about to download a baby, WELCOME to the USA!
If you are educated, literate in multiple languages, have no children and are free of disease, then get the hell out....
