I am disgusted by the insensitivity and the ignorance of these comments. The connation and demeanor of these outlandish comments can only liken you people to the GUSTAPO. I hope you are proud of yourselves--we are a nation of immigrants and illegal "aliens" are HUMAN BEINGS. Even the terminology is inciteful, blasphemous, and RACIST.....But at the end of the day YOU people have to live with yourselves.
Families are being torn apart, children are left orphaned...people come here for an opportunity at a better life.....YOU ALL WOULD DO THE EXACT SAME IF THE SHOE WAS ON THE OTHER FOOT---so just know that your arrogant, hypocritical, and RACIST comments are actually ANTI-AMERICAN as our forefathers came here to ESCAPE exactly the type of inhumane treatment YOU PEOPLE are now supporting and enacting. So stop with the patriotism BS because YOU have no loyalty to humanity, the pursuit of happiness, civil rights or the such. So sit in your narrow-minded world-view and wallow in your hateful selves--I hope your arrogance helps you sleep at night.
I understand your point on entering in the correct, legal manner. My issue is more with the people who support the "wild west rope-n-dope" round people up like animals mentality that is plaguing much of this country.
I'm a 3rd generation Italian-Irish-Czech-Croation-U krainian and all my ancestors entered through Ellis Island as well. Both my grandfathers proudly served in WWII.
My point is that when the Irish came, when the Italians came, when each successive generation of immigrants came--they were subjected to bigotry, hatred, and the like.
We have to stand up for human rights here.
Many of the people who are being deported are NOT criminals and many DO pay taxes.
It is not as simple as being LEGAL or ILLEGAL. There are various forms of papers that are somewhere in-between--work visas, student visas, travel visas, etc.
And many countries have different policies and require yearly renewal at EXHORBITANT fees!--its a racket.
Also, many people who were caught in Irving were subjected to "check-point" stops which is a Civil Rights violation.
Also, entire MALLS, apartment complexes, etc. are being scathed as if they are "hunting" people and people are being rounded up and stuffed in buses.
This HAS to stop. Let's help people FIX their papers, NOT treat them as sub-human.
Please.
Well said!!! I would love to see what would happen if things got worst here in the us(god forbid)and things picked up in Mexico. Would these hypocrites go to Mexico to feed their hungry children and give their families just enough to get by? These POS act like the immigrants are coming over here for a party. Well let me be the first to tell you. They are not! I mean common would you come to a country that you don't know the language, you are not wanted, you bust your butt working a job almost nobody wants unless you had to? These people are not beggars. They are a hard working race. It is extremely rare to see a Mexican begging for change or anything for that matter.
So ask yourself that question. Would you go to Mexico if the shoe was on the other foot?
