Why should one immigrant be more special than another ?

If you're from Africa, India or Poland, you're treated 1 way as an immigrant. But if you're from Mexico or further south, you're treated COMPLETELY different.


Those in the former group don't have the luxury of simply strolling across the border, hooking up w/ distant relatives or anyone who knows your family ,( because they likely had dinner with them as recently as last night), and ease right into a ready made community. A group of folks who are likely every bit here illegally in the States as you. That sort of special treatment comes from simply being here - or there, just south of the border, to be exact.

Yet, those coming to this country to become citizens from across the ocean don't have it so easy. They must go through the system. Filing, paying, studying for that citizens exam.... taking YEARS of committed effort and dedication to achieve a well deserved goal of becoming a full fledged citizen of the United States of America.

Why, to FORCE ALL folks to go though that sort of AGONY is down right hateful! Racist, even ! Why, it's no worse than what Hitler himself did !!!

It's so cruel to expect people who want into this country to abide by the very laws which CITIZENS are expected to follow.

Immigration laws for people who are coming into the country aren't racist, but detainment and deportation under certain conditions might be.

When would be a good time to detain & deport?

Another Rappy rant without facts of cites - but a lot of unfounded ideological crap. Just more BS floating in the wind....

I kinda like what we already have, where you do a background check and deport if someone is picked up on suspicion of theft, rape, drug-dealing, smuggling, murder, etc.

There are flaws with that, of course, like the possibility of trumping up charges.

Generally, it makes me uneasy on principle to support anything that could give the government any power to remove or detain anyone, whether an actual citizen or an immigrant, but I can see how it might be necessary. I mostly just want to be careful that anything that does get passed doesn't bite us all in the ass.

That tends to mean I'm wary or against most legislation.

Another childish dismissal of anything I say, out of hand, w/ out any reasoned, intelligent or honest response to the issue.

Same old B.S., from the 'mark.

Wulf -

Amazing video. Looks like that driveway might have a gate at the entrance. If so, I wonder why it was open at the time of the attack. Did the home owner just arrive, and the thugs bum rush in, trying to catch him off guard ( and gain access, before the gate closed ? )

Might explain why the pin head crook fired off a shot , as soon as they got there.
