- It is not a favor I''m granting you, by letting you roam free. Don''t think freedom an opportunity to do evil. Its not. I don''t care what you stand for. You could stand for the God Almighty, for all I care. But you have to understand something quite simple and fundamental. That people have a choice. That what you say is just what you say, and not no ... revelation.

- All that an illegal is legally entitled to is SUMMARY JUSTICE. For the illegals are NOT the "We the People ..." intended by our Constitution.

They are entitled to "Due Process" under the 14th Amendment...
The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution is one of the post-Civil War amendments (known as the Reconstruction Amendments), first intended to secure rights for former slaves. It includes the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses among others. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868. It is perhaps the most significant structural change to the Constitution since the passage of the United States Bill of Rights.
The amendment provides a broad definition of United States citizenship, superseding the U.S. Supreme Court''s decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford that had excluded African Americans. The amendment requires states to provide equal protection under the law to all persons [[(not only to citizens)]] within their jurisdictions and was used in the mid-20th century to dismantle legal segregation, as in Brown v. Board of Education. Its Due Process Clause has been the basis of much important and controversial case law regarding privacy rights, abortion (see Roe v. Wade), and other issues. - Reply to this comment
- Healthcare? Terrorism? Justice? Freedom? Education? Religion? These are thing you shouldn''t concern yourself with, until you first understand that what people have is the choice to listen to you, or not to.

- It is the heart of activism that we''re at war with. The hero, who takes away people freedoms. Until you understand that murder is not an option, I doubt we''ll have any further negotiation on who''s a prisoner.

So they are NOT entitled to Due Process.
Just round them up en masse, take them before a U.S. magistrate, whereupon a showing that they are in fact here illegally, then FINE them and FORCE-WORK them to pay off the fine
...THEN deport them.
We are overlooking a vast FREE LABOR resource.
And we should turn what appears to be a liability into an ASSET.
After we USE them, then send them back home with a "thank you" note saying, "Please come again." :)~
You can bet they won''t be back.
For low wages in Mexico is still a lot better than NO wages in "Gringoland." - Reply to this comment
- A prisoner is someone behind bars, liberal. Not someone who has to listen to people who disagree with him.

- These undocumented aliens are used a scapegoats. it all started the day after 9/11. Before 9/11, where were they hiding? They cherry pick about the cost but they ignore the benefits of the undocumented workers. All Americans are descendants of undocumented aliens.

There were no immigration laws in the 1800''s...Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act in 1921, followed by the Immigration Act of 1924.
The more contact a native-born American has with immigrants, typically the more positive view of immigrants one has. The less contact a native-born American has with immigrants, the more likely one would have a negative view of immigrants.
What is interesting - many of the people opposed to helping these people once they enter the US are in favor of invading Iraq based on lies and then on the premise of "spreading democracy". - Reply to this comment
