I would hope that you would ONLY place the blame at the justice departments feet. And Janet Napolitano. And, of course, Obama.

Many victims such as the family of Matthew Denice might never see the justice they deserve.

Those people have no respect for our immigration laws, what makes people think they are going to respect the other ones? They not only come here illegally but committ either tax evasion or fraud when they work. And it doesn't stop there.

Suppose that the entire US were the victim of predatory lending practices and lending?

I would hope that you would ONLY place the blame at the bankers' feet. And, of course, Republicans.

Obama's take on the matter....It is your fault for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

What about the 3 million buyers who signed on the dotted line and never even made the first payment and got to live free for a few years before the banks could foreclose..

They steal too.. they have no fear... for a few years now since my town have been infiltrated, things have been walking away from my driveway as the illegals walk down the blocks in my town.. some strange things they steal.. oh, and they have slept on my porch and get drunk and walk around and live in the woods by the rail road tracks a slightly more than a few blocks away.. this is a beach town and no slum.

Yea, stuff gets stolen.

But the illegals here are employed by restaurant managers, home builders and produce growers. And Shipley's donuts. If we would put the employers in jail, this chit would stop. Big fines did not shut down Pappas or Shipley's.

I've been the victim of many crimes by legal citizens. They got away with it and I don't have any evidence that would hold up in a court now. So the fact that an illegal immigrant might commit a crime against me and not be held up in court isn't exactly, well, eating me up inside. The justice system is far from "just" anyway.

Awwww come on! A person can be a victim of anyone not just someone from a different country or perhaps an illegal. Everyone is now grabbing at straws and you just got the short straw by worrying about getting hurt by an illegal. Of the horrid crimes committed over the past, say 5 years, just how many were done by illegals? Look, I am just like anyone else and think folks should come to this country legal just like our Italian, Polish, German, Irish forefathers did. If they don't then why is it Obama's fault? Someone is falling asleep at the borders and someone is obviously getting paid huge dollars to let them come here.
OK..now this is gonna create havoc but I have to say it. Some time ago, I hired pure caucasian men to work on our roof. They came highly recommended. Not six months later the roof AND the skylight both leaked. When I had them come back to fix things, our ceilings in the kitchen and dining room were ruined from leaking. I go outside to check on their progress and they are sitting down RESTING drinking beer....I FIRED them on the spot.
I searched for a new roofer who had mostly Columbians working for him and the roof got done in record time, no drinking and no mess and VERY respectful. So.............why put all the blame for what goes on here in our country on illegals?? They will work and they do quality work.
Oh, by the way....Charles Manson was not an illegal.
