  •  Bullshit (1+ / 2-)

    You wouldn't think this was a progressive political blog

    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?

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

        advocating for people who enter the country illegally and then commit a series of felonies in order to stay in the country?

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

          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.
