Yes, I understand. The idea that these kids could have done anything positive for our country cannot be allowed to stand or be part of the dialogue. We need to deport every single one of the lying scum. If they're brown, send them down. I just wish Romney would parrot his supporters concerning this issue in a statement so everyone else would get it. I get it. Consistancy is your middle name.

Again -- the misuse of the word "kids". Sure the 16 and 17 year olds just given amnesty are kids -- certainly not the 30 year olds.

See, there you go tossing in the race card. Why does your side constantly do this? I couldn't care less whom they are in nationality, skin color, ethnicity or race and neither do most anti-illegal immigrationists.

It matters not whether the only crime they committed was to come to our country illegally either. Our immigration laws demand deportation. Just what have they done for this country that helped our own citizens? No, quite the opposite is true.

The race card is one thing --- "hispanic" isn't a race, nor is "illegal" a race but it's almost hilarious when they're pulling the "poor liittle children" card when those ages 20-30 are being included in on this. That's some pretty long-in-the-tooth children.

Remember..the Supreme Court ruled that every child is guaranteed an education regardless of citizenship status.
There are still kids living in Mexico going to school on a daily basis here.

Yes, they walk across the border every day and get on the school buses. I've read about that happening in the border towns. Why it's allowed though is beyond me.

The person I was responding to said something about "down with the brown" in regards to our objection to illegal immigraton. This was blantatly pulling the race card.....the mestizo race card.

Because over 70% of the immigrants are from Mexico. Always pander to the majority.

Except Hispanics are not the majority in this country and their voting turnout is low. No politican should promise to not honor our laws to pander to a special interest group. That isn't what this country is about.
