Please read my post again. Sheesh!

Not all liberals believe in the full on "lib" agenda and not all conservative people are 100 per cent behind all conservative beliefs

And conservatives have no problem with welfare for corporations. Hard working Americans get told to drop dead if they can't afford health care so some nitwit can buy his third house.



Conservatives adore illegals. They're docile, cheap and any real costs can be passed on to Joe Taxpayer.

A GED. Eighty percent of all Americans have at least a high school diploma (a higher standard than a lousy GED) and these arrogant, pathetic, lazy, stupid twits are whining that we dare hold them to the most minimal educational standards imaginable to get unearned and undeserved American citizenship.

Instead of thanking us for giving them an amazing and wholly undeserved racially based opportunity in the teeth of a terrible recession all they can think to do is complain.

I will have to disagree with you here. Both conservatives and the Democrats love the cheap, illegal labor. There are just as many rich Democrats who own businesses as there are conservatives. It isn't conservatives that are pushing amnesty either or pandering to Hispanics for votes.

The rest of your post I totally agree with.

I don't vote a straight party ticket. I'll be voting for Obama for president (not enthusiastically either), but also for Pete Sessions for Congress. Look up his record.

Time for some introspection it sounds like to me.
What about all those construction, food service, landscaping and other services provided by illegals that conservatives took advantage of, both as employers and as consumers? Isn't that also coddling? Please discuss...

As for the girl who quit school because she got pregnant---Whose fault was that? The guy who quit when his father was deported? The family could have gone with him if it was too hard for them to get by without him.
So true. We provide a free public school education for anyone who chooses to take advantage of the opportunity. If illegals don't have a high school diploma or GED, it's their own fault. In my opinion, they should not qualify for DACA unless they have already completed high school or received a GED as of the June effective date. Most are only enrolling now to qualify for DACA. Let's not forget, they are only required to be "enrolled" in school. There is no requirement for them to complete their education. This is just another program they will scam to remain here.

Any employer who has hired illegal immigrants to work the jobs that you described that Americans will do and have always done should be severely punished. It isn't just conservatives who have hired illegal immigrants because it isn't just conservatives who own businesses. I don't know what you mean by coddling. Employers who hire them do so to increase their profits at the expense of the American worker. The pandering to Hispanics for votes on this issue is mostly coming from the Democrats.

Gee, education is now a "barrier" ? I would think you don't want uneducated people no matter what the program.
And here we thought this program was for all those "dreamies"..you know the ones that were getting college degrees but couldn't get jobs.

Actually you're wrong -- Walter Mondale was a liberal and so was Cesar Chavez and they were against the open borders and illegal immigration. Liberals that care about wages and jobs for Americans would be against illegal immigration.

And look at the Pelosi millions -- made off the same ultra cheap illegal labor that Cesar Chavez fought against. The Pelosi family was one of the greedy growers that crushed the UFW. Greed exists on both sides, there are the greedy elite liberals like the Pelosis that got very rich breaking labor and immigration laws but there are greedy elite republicans also.
