Speaking of illegal immigrants...

[CathyBogart]

When did illegal immigrants suddenly become sub-human?! "Oh, well, he shouldn't have been here anyways, so who cares if we tore five years of his life away and shredded whatever good reputation he may have had for the rest of his life?"

Really now....I'm not a fan of illegal immigration, but I'm also not against ALL PEOPLE being treated fairly. I do think he deserves a big fat settlement out of this, and I hope the horrible people who ruined his life burn, and that their daughter is a strong enough person to handle all of the drama she must be surrounded with right now.

my faather was an illegal alien once.


He got his green card and then became an American citizen.

He came home from the ceremony with that little American flag that they give you when they swear you in .

You would have thought he won the lottery- a gazilllion bucks as the prize.

And all it was was a piece of paper saying that he was an American citizen.

For every chump that breaks the law, there is one person that made it through the system after breaking the law.

I am sorry....
The only time it becomes news is when a cop or the dog catcher gets a cap busted at them.

Two kids in El Lay were shotk by a jerk who had been sent back to Mexico -
only to come back, illegally.....

If the Government starts to look at credentials closely, what crimes will the media report?

Flying lessons anyone?

Have you noticed the media often mentions someone's religion, race, or legal status when they are : (a) trying to make fun of someone's religion, race, or legal status or (b) trying to sway people to their way of thinking about someone's religion, race, or legal status, or (c) trying to stir people up and cause trouble about someone's religion, race, or legal status.

Just my observation!!! I'm sure there are some who will disagree. That's ok! They are entitled to their opinions too.

trying to stir people up and cause trouble about someone's religion, race, or legal status.

That guy on the FBI list with the multiple wives has me running scared.

Sometimes Mormons freak me out!

ESPN is currently promoting the Little League World Series.

Teams from all over the planet come to the US to play baseball.

the commercial I saw has a van load of kids singing "take me out to the ball game" in spanish. The kids representing the team from Mexico.

I thought about the car being chased by the Border Patrol that flipped and killed 9 out the 21 people on board.

I am waiting for the cries of racial insensitivity.

FYI the mormon religion does NOT allow polygamy. If this person has multiple wives, he is not a member of the mormon church.

Thank you Vio and Jackie for an outsider's view. We are a nation of immigrants but sometimes we are a nation of I have mine, now go away.

When some brag..."my forefathers came here legally....it puzzles me....until fairly recently coming here legally meant having the money to buy passage and not having any of a number of communicable deseases and not being Chinese (for a while there was a national law against immigrants from China.) Quotas for immigrants from different countries and much of the red tape is relatively new.

It also meant being low man/woman on the totem pole. Working the jobs others didn't want and hopefully....working your way up and into the larger society.

We often wax eloquently about being the children of immigrants...until someone else wants to immigrate that is!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Two of my ancestors are Native American!!! Yep, they are here legally!!

I was talking about the Evil Mormons....

They don't allow it but......

Ever notice that the religions that begin with the letter "M" are a little off beat?

My choice of religions is the cargo cult!


They worship airplanes-Flying them into buildings is a no no!

And what's off-beat about my Methodist church? Come any Sunday, and you'll see we keep the beat very well - and we'll make sure you don't leave hungry afterwards.

You guys are amazing me! Are you really serious?!?!?! A nation of IMMIGRANTS is calling a poor Nicaraguan worker (who was not killing people on the streets, but WORKING) a criminal. I would think a little more before I would even think that for myself, let alone type it on a public website.

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED! He was wrongfully sent to jail for something he didn't do and if he were anyone else you would have shouted loud from the same hill against the injustice done.

Aren't you, Americans, the ones who are so proud of their legal system? So, justice is just for some?

BRAVO.

Some of us ARE ashamed V&J, of this action.. not necessarily the system as a whole. That's why we are posting, and "venting". We are still allowed to have different opinions, and the opportunity to change some of it when we vote.
