Community Leaders are searching???? where??? looking for what??? what a crock of XXXX. Give us a break would you, when the offices down town are full of drug heads and no one in city government gets tested and no one in the police are tested and it is kept secret all the time what in the world are we to beleive any of you are doing?? The police are thrilled with any death that will further the enforcement of victum less laws whale the illegals run all over our communitys and take our jobs and ruin our schools and pack our emergency rooms and find all kind of employment and financing for cars and homes and mobile home parks allow them in with no considerations at all. This part of Oregon is a mess and we had better understand we are on our own out here with the authorities only on the make for "income" offences that charge citizens but not the "officials" or "Illegals" or any of the protected class. Is any one out there even concerned that we get tested but the "Court" has no drug testing that is public?? Give us a break Oregon....

I don't really understand what you people expect. Most of the people in this state don't want to pay for schools or any kind of educational support at all for that matter. We all complain about paying taxes for protective services including police, fire departments, ambulance services, social workers, shelters, clinics, and the list goes on. So, we don't make it a priority to educate our children very well or at least make it a priority for them. We don't give them something to do or somewhere to go that is wholesome and productive and inspiring. We don't want to pay for human services (the city has grown quite a bit in the last 20 years, it going to cost more than it used to). We don't act like a community, everyone is in it for themselves (just like gangs) and we expect someone else or other people to "fix it" and then we complain that they aren't doing their jobs and talk about forced sterilization (how would you like that to happen to you or your children, basic rights, right?). Everyone has a hand in this. Whether you decide to turn away or not, its going to affect you. So, are you doing your part? or are you just complaining about having to write a check.

Grow up lady why do you want to blame everything on hard working family's . Who gave you this world to decide who does and doesn't belong any way your not "GOD" as far as the police inforcement just us does not mean only if your white lets spell it out it is for all of us Americans regardless of skin color . Yes I said it so what skin color should not decide where you live or work or what you can and can't do . And if your so sad to think it does maybe you should set down and have a good look at the crap you believe . Stop People who live in trailer parks have a right to live here just as does any other race . Grow up really we are not in kindergarden here.

Where do people get off trying to say a persons color or ethinic background should decided where they can live, what work they can have or not have and this crap of mexicans coming here and taking whits jobs. Let me educate you a littel bit miss. If it was not for us people as you put it everytime you (white ) want to spend a nice night in a motel who do you think makes your bead we know your to lazy to do it, or who serves your food when your hungery and in a hurry no not one of you white friends sorry, or who works in the fields to get that food you eat to the store or markets any way no not you white . You and your kind as you say of me and mine enjoy the sweat off so many good people and yet have the guts to print crap like this .Sham on you... It is you who should set down and take a good look at who you are and what you believe.....

We agree that a person's color, or ethnic background should not decide. However, the assumption is, that person is LEGALLY in America. Whitey specifically addressed ILLEGAL Aliens. What type of job the Illegal Alien takes doesn't change the fact that they are still criminals.
It isn't rocket science,(or "crap"), Catalina!
