  •  Thanks for the comment cachola. We need more pro (0+ / 0-)

    immigrant voices here. You wouldn't think this was a progressive political blog, considering most of the comments, would you?

      We tried what you are suggesting before, it didn't work. When you grant amnesty to the people here illegally, all you are doing is setting it up for the next wave of illegals. DO you really think that, once legal, they will work for the same wages? Of course not, then the new wave comes in to undercut their wages. Where does it leave all of that legal unskilled labor after that happens?, a drain on society.

      •  Why do you assume it didn't work? They're (0+ / 0-)

        mostly citizens now and so are their kids. I don't have the distaste for immigrants that you seem to. Immigrants enrich our lives and should be applauded, not disrespected.

        •  It worked? What have you been smoking? (0+ / 0-)

          I don't have a dislike for immigrants, I don't like illegal aliens. Stop trying to confuse the two groups. You are practicing racist behavior. Let me ask you, what do you have against Asians, Africans, Europeans? You seem very willing to legalize 25 million illegal Hispanics at the expense of the right of these groups to enter legally. Or are you suggesting that we just allow everyone to come into the country without ant restrictions? Stop trying to con American citizens. Put your efforts into fixing Mexico's problems instead of running away to America and expecting us to take care of you.

      You talk about 'pro-immigrant' voices, yet you cannot even define the term 'immigrant'.

      As to this being a 'progressive political blog', what is 'progressive' about ignoring existing immigration law and advocating for people who enter the country illegally and then commit a series of felonies in order to stay in the country?

      •  Yeah that's right (0+ / 0-)

        Hide my comments. That's going to win the argument for you -- after all -- it's been workin' out great for you so far.

          Undocumented immigrants commit far less crime per capita than U.S. citizens. You are unfairly and untruthfully criminalizing a group undeservedly.

          •  You have no fucking clue what (0+ / 0-)

            You are talking about.

            I am talking about the felonies that every illegal immigrant who is working in this country commits in order to be able to work in this country.

            Have you ever read the back of an I9 form?

            I am aware that federal law provides for
            imprisonment and/or fines for false statements or
            use of false documents in connection with the  
            completion of this form.

            I attest, under penalty of perjury, that I am (check one of the following):

            -- A lawful permanent resident (Alien #) A
            -- A citizen or national of the United States
            -- An alien authorized to work until

            Did you know that the I9 did not exist until 1986?

            The I9 form was part of the 1986 IRCA and was created to make the illegal immigrant just as guilty for taking a job illegally as the employer for hiring him or her.

            If I buy your Social Security card downtown and use that card to get a job illegally in the US it is a felony.

            Now I know that because you are a 'progressive' you have one set of laws for one group of people and another set of laws for another group, but these are federal felonies just the same.
