I’m sorry. I’m still no clearer on your logic for what are 2 contradictory sentences. When you say “They are not trying to enforce laws on other people. Just one law on the people that broke it,” You are saying Dumas and Hoffman are not enforcing laws they are just enforcing laws. The only way these 2 statement are not contradictory is if you are nitpicking and saying Dumas and Hoffman are not enforcing “laws” they are enforcing “one law” or if you don’t consider the mothers and their children to be people. I’m willing to forget about ever understanding what you wrote if you want to drop it.
This issue has been ranked as number one in regards to the difference of opinion between citizens and their elected representatives. I live near Chicago, there are plenty of people here who are fed up with the status quo.
Really? On March 3rd 2002 HR 1885 the so-called “Illegal Immigration Residency Extension” came up for a vote. This bill, allowing illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. without legal residency, did not receive one “no” vote from the 7 congressional districts representing Chicago. Even Henry Hyde voted for this bill. The bill passed 275 to 137 so it is not like there was no opposition to it…just not in Chicago. As punishment the voters in Chicago returned every one of these congressmen to office in November except the congressman from the 5th district who ran for Governor. Do you know who the Congressman representing the 5th congressional district is? Rahm Emanuel! The voters of Chicago elected Clinton’s point man on NAFTA to the US congress.
Illegal immigration must be a huge issue in Chicago. <./sacasm>
