spare me the SOB stories. Illegal is illegal is illegal. No matter where you came from or what you look like.
Parents that come here illegally know they are illegal and know that any day they can be arrested and deported. They are the only ones that bare the blame.

As for these meetings in a church, well, this is a violation of seperation of church and state. It can also be seen as an ethics violation on the part of Luis Gutirrez and any other elected official who attends.

Now, fellow Americans, you want to get really mad.. YOU are paying the bill for Guiterrez and his clan to fly all over the country and holding these meetings..
How do you like that? getting screwed over by one of the most racist hispanics in congress and he is working AGAINST america and for his own people.

Don't blame Gutierrez, take it up with the voters of Illinois district 4. That's what they wanted. Reyes from TX also attended.

Democrat socialists always on the side of the illegal aliens. If any parent commits a crime they are also removed and seperated from their families. Helloooo, what distinguishes the U.S. as unique is the rule of law. One can't be compassionate to one group without another group not being affected. We legal, second generation hispanics have to compete for the basic services that these illegals demand. Isn't it obvious. The wages for the lower legal class will continue to be stagnant. Democrats only want more constituents!!!

[Project 5]

Anyways, this is going to be a screwed up situation no matter how you slice it.

On one side you have illegals demanding amnesty and in the process encouraging more illegal immigrants to come, or at least not discouraging them.

On the other side, you have idiotic jingoist Americans who just want to feel good about themselves and scapegoat the country's decline by spewing hate and fanning the flames of this issue, and solving nothing, just making it worse.

If they would use more tact or just simply shut up and let the reasonable measures take place we'd all be better off.

Borders, Language, Culture, Heritage, Values, Progress, Education, Technology....

[Taser]

1500 demanding you hand over your house, your valuables, your history, culture heritage, institutions, your children's future and your self respect.

[Jim]

Well now I guess we should feel sorry for the mass murderers that we put in prison, because we are separating them from their families by incarcerating them. If you break the law, then there are consequences. We do not need to amend the law to keep families from being separated, the people that break the law should stop breaking the law...then they will not run the risk of breaking up their family. Simple as that.

Where is the 500,000?
Yes, another sob story about people who break the law! Didn't you love that one where she stated that she would have return to her native country after breaking the law and she is pregnant with her sixth?

[in town]

Oh I weep for them. Wy not go see there loved ones in the country they were deported to. Mrs Galindo needs to invest in birth control. That is no different then the lady from Califronia with the kids. Raising kids is an expensive things these days, if you cannot afford them you should not have them, or be held criminal liable for child abuse. Just an opinion.

[Tom]

The majority of the illegals who are crying the blues knew beforehand the consequences should they be caught so why demand we change the law.Go back to Mexico and it would solve the problemm of being separated from your families.This is our country and the laws are ours.They have contributed nothing and expect everything.As far as your children being hungry,many American children go to bed hungry each night due to a lack of funds taken up by those who got here the wrong way and now want everything.Go back to your native country and come here the proper way and you have no problems with your family being separated.Mr Guiterrez and Mr. Reyes, I need not say more than religion and politics DO NOT MIX.

[Dissent]

it would be nice to get an anti-war demonstration that big

[Hwestexan]

History and demographics has proven time and again that the number of immigrants to any country must be limited if that country is to maintain its cultural identity, its values and its language.
To call Luis Gutierrez irresponsible would be a compliment. He wants to destroy our borders and our culture. It's that simple.
Almost a million immigrants are admitted to the U.S. legally every year. Latinos outnumber all the others because national origins come into play when setting immigration quotas. Law-abiding applicants for immigrant visas from Mexico have been waiting patiently in line since 1995. This is because there are more applicants than there are visa numbers available.
The unqualified, the illiterate and those with criminal records are among those who want to leapfrog over the law-abiding applicants. We MUST NOT REWARD THE LAW-BREAKERS and punish the law-abiding. Those who want to do so do not have the best interest of the U.S. in mind. They are selfish law-breakers who will not contribute anything positive to our country. Their main contribution will be to our welfare rolls and our police blotters. They will also be instrumental in further destruction of our schools, our hospitals and medical facilities and other public, tax-paid institutions.
We MUST see to it that the indolent, unqualified immigrants take their place in the waiting line just like the law-abiding applicants.

There is no mention of the separation of church and state in the Constitution. Just saying...
But the rest I am with you 100%!

[America is Full]

I can't stand these people who are here demanding things and then they'll continue to walk and no learn to espeak Inglich but bi%$ch about how horrible America is but they can't say enough of their Mexico Lindo....don't want to get deported??? Don't cross illegally and set up camp here...sounds easy to me

[Patriot]

These churches should lose their tax-exempt status. Like Louie said, where is the separation of church and state? They shouldn't meddle in political issues.

[planet of the apes]

FAMLYS UNIT!!!..in you home country...now get the f uck OUT..america has too many sucking uncle sams tit....

[Gutierrez Sux]

Gutierrez' mission is his only goal in office. More voters. He stated on Dobbs' show "The reason I became a Congressman was I knew what NAFTA would do to the Mexicans' jobs." His U.S. citizenship should be revoked. He's nothing but Anti-American looking out for "his people." So where do we find the "fact finding mission" for our side? Gutierrez is under the pond scum.

[Bluenote]

"Annabelle Galindo wipes a tear as whe talks about her husband who was deported leaving her alone to raise her six children and pregnant with her seventh"

7 kids and counting........Wow. And she's whining that her kids will starve. This is the furture folks. Unfortunatly we're gonna have to get used to it.......pathetic.

Fear not Mrs. Galindo. The responsible taxpayers will raise you kids. Just keep cranking em' out. Make Luis proud.

[mexpert]

Well here's a couple of solutions...
1. Don't come to the US illegally then there wouldn't be a problem.
2. If you come to the US illegally and get deported, your wife and kids can live with you in Mexico.

[mexpert]

For those that are pro illegal immigration-you are by extension pro identity theft. These illegal aliens could not have jobs and get benefits in this country without using fake documents or stealing somebody else's identity.
