The three men have received temporary visas, Social Security cards and work permits. Some have met with private attorneys to determine whether to file lawsuits.

Why weren't they detained and deported? Anoter example of getting rewarded for breaking federal law. It works for them but I guarantee it won't work for us!!

Any bets on who's picking up these invaders medical bills?
got a mirror?

"Yes, I crossed here illegally and, yes, I know that some people say that we don't deserve anything and we should go home,"

Well, at least you've got that much right. If this article is supposed to make me feel sorry for these people it's not working.

[Waco]

Betcha they voted Nov. 5th too. Ain't motor voter great!

I know where you are coming from. This is also a prime example of how the main stream media spins these stories to cast these illegals as heros.

Why don't they tell the truth for a change?

[Brownie74]

You're right - we are picking up the tab. It really ticks me off that these people get Carte Blanche here but yet our senior citizens only got a 1.2 or 1.3% pay raise on their Social Security. That's not right.

I have 5 words for these criminals.

Get out and stay out!

They ARE the heroes, don't you get it? We white, American-born Anglos are the GOATS in this storyline.

When are you going to get it?

The bias of the story is no surprise given the author's name. Another file for racial profiling folder.

Mr. Gallo wants to pay his medical bills but doesn't know how that will be possible.

IOW we pay. The logic behind allowing these illegal aliens to stay here is so damn stupid. All you need to do is send them back to stinking Mexico then pay them $500 to come here to testify in court against the coyotes. I am disgusted at the INS!!

Might as well hang a welcome sign at the border saying "WELCOME ILLEGAL ALIENS"

[Brownie74]

I am disgusted at the INS!!

At least Ziglar will be gone come the first of the year. Is there any rumble as to who is going to replace him?

[taxed2death]

It makes absolutely no difference who's appointed to that position. GWB is walking point. He's the big guy in charge. He's not doing a damned thing right now to stop this BS. What makes you think things will change?

[keats5]

The only way to stop horrific incidents like this is to consistently deport illegal aliens.

Mr. Gallo wants to pay his medical bills but doesn't know how that will be possible.
Hospital spokeswoman Kathleen Beathard could not discuss specific cases but said that the facility will look at all types of assistance programs that could help cover such an expense. She noted that the hospital wrote off more than $47 million in patient care charges last year.

Why was he given medical care in the first place?
Message to US citizens:
Try getting a Dr. appt without insurance!! FORGET IT!
I think we should work his butt off to pay for some of those bills and then ship his @$$ back to Mexico.

[Brownie74]

GWB is walking point. He's the big guy in charge. He's not doing a damned thing right now to stop this BS.

Exactly!! I have made this point many times. All Bush has to do is pick up the phone and demand that Ashcroft and Ziglar do their jobs. But he won't do it.

As Truman said - the buck stops here.

[Catspaw]

The article says they're going to be witnesses in the criminal trial.

[Brownie74]

Why was he given medical care in the first place?

The law only requires that we provide emergency medical treatment. Mr. Gallo was probably entitled to emergency medical treatment and then he should have been deported. End of story. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

their sob stories won't play with me - they shouldn't have been trying to smuggle themselves into this country unlawfully. that one fool asked "did my brother die in vain", is this now the basis for admission? come on - I'm sorry for their hardship but nobody forced them into that trailer. my resentment of their invasion, and their loathing of America and its culture, is pushing my compassion almost off the table
