Straight from one of them that is here Illegally. It blows the argument out of the water that they don't know they are doing something illegal, they do. At least this guy is honest with himself about the situation.

At least he is willing to accept responsibility for his actions. When you’re wrong, you’re wrong.

And yet I doubt you'll agree with this part. Few of you actually read your articles.

Quote:
"When this first happened, the whole thing started to get bigger and bigger, and I thought, well, here we go," said Luis. "This is what needed to happen for people to say, we do have a problem here."

Luis said the problem isn't the hardworking people who come the United States for better lives, but those who come here to commit crimes after crossing the border.

He and his wife, who is also undocumented, said they have tried to go through the process of establishing residency multiple times, but have been told by lawyers they don't have much of a chance, and that they can expect deportation letters.

Luis said he loves the United States more than his home country because he has been here for so long, but that he and his wife have faced hurdles in their progress.

His wife lost at least one job when her employer found out about her status, and they both hoped to continue their educations but were unable to.
On that I agree with him, at least. BUt these are the people you guys are stubborn about trying to empathize with.

Please spread your hate somewhere else. I was the one who posted the article, so of course I read it. I empathize with him and the fact that many hard-working people want to have a better life. Those types of people do not only exist in Mexico though. Do you empathize with the many hard-working people who wish to enter the U.S. legally from so many other countries, yet have to wait in line?

It is becoming quite apparent that you have no regard for the law unless it suits your needs or interests. Screw everybody else?

You're the only one hating here. They were kindly pointing out that you didn't look past the title.

You don't have the ground to say that with this bill in place, and after all of the Repugs that call Liberals Communists and Socialists, you say "Screw everybody else?" Clearly that's not the case. You can do one of two things, not call Liberals Communists or Socialists (even though you are wrong) or not make said statement.

No, I read the entire article. However, the fact that illegals work hard and/or enjoy their lives in this country does not change the fact that they are here in violation of the law. Neither hard work, nor a love for this country, is a mitigating circumstance.

I am sure there are many citizens who engage in criminal behavior to support their families; and, most likely, many are otherwise “nice” folks. However, we have laws, and there are consequences for violators. This man realizes he is living outside the law, and is willing to accept the consequences. I do commend him for that.

I POSTED the article. Of course I read it. In addition, I never stated I was a Republican. Where did you come up with that? I think you are politically profiling me. I think I might sue...

Agreed. The incessant reference to Nazi Germany is disgraceful. No one in this country is being branded, rounded up and shipped to concentration camps, starved, and gassed. It is an affront to all who suffered or died during the Holocaust. It is also a glaring indication of extreme desperation. It really needs to stop.
