"We can disagree without being insulting" - I have been on this board for a looooong time, and do not need to put up with obnoxious posters claiming I yearn for confrontation. Thanks for making this such a nice, constructive discussion group.
...the tone of this forum was at one point (as some of the long-time members can attest to) very negative and not constructive. You preferred to come out of the gate and start calling me "righteous", etc. I appreciate you further explaining your point regarding leftist, and simply disagree with you. The personal attacks are unnecessary and rude. And finally, moderator, this probably belongs in the politics/social issues forum at this point.
Excuse me, but where are the personal attacks? Don't take a condescending tone with someone and expect them to not give you one right back.
These marches were held all over the country and featured many signs stating "no one is illegal" and "immigrants are people too". When people refuse to acknowledge that an action is wrong, nothing will be done to correct that action. It's a very simple point that you've turned into a 6 post debate.
I agree that this thread probably doesn't belong in the LI forum.

Again, if anyone would like to speak on the record about their feelings on this issue, please direct message me. It is of great importance to me to have the voices of Suffolk County residents in my piece.
I am so sick of ceratin americans who feel the need to blame illegal immigrants for everything that is wrong in this country right now.if you speak with irish and italians fromour grandfather's generations ,they will tell you that coming to this country wasn't a choice it was a necessity for their family's future but laws were different then right? I agree if you are here illegally and you commit a felony then you should be deported immediately.I have met some good illegals immigrants and since 9/11 life has been hard for them because everything demands a license or govt ID so irish were prejudiced against so were the italians but for some reasons allother races are unworthy or unacceptable for us who are we again?Leader of the free world wow! let's really redefine that if we want to kick all these people out ok I know that the right wing radio talk show hosts and programing are raging a war against illegal immigrant hoping that this will fix the economy well that will neither solve the problem it's no quick fixes .it took 8yrs to ruin it it'll take more than that to fix it. Have you travelled to other places around the world to experience and appreciate other cultures .I am amazed at the lack of educated knowledge and facts on this issue so.. please use good moral judgements and use common sense as well. The economy is forcing people to point and blame of course as usual who gets blames the little guy ,the mexicans,the ones who are making 200 bucks a week cleaning toilets ,wiping our babies butss and cooking for our fat bellies,give me a break!
