Provide a quality, meaningful, posting area. Not an area where members of the mob come to vent.

This forum has operated on the de facto 'angry mob standard' for far too long.
If we were singing praises to illegals and vilifying anti-illegals, this would be a wonderful forum, wouldn’t it?

Ridiculous comment Benicar. Same old stuff with the straw man argument.

She's also bitter because she's being called a term that rightly describes her. She's also a bitter racist. She's bitter because America won't pay her way in the manner in which she expects.

Let's put this in perspective. The comments about our posters not having Christmas spirit and hatred are misplaced.
That's exactly how I read it. Maybe she should talk to someone in her situation in Mexico. You know, an illegal in Mexico from Guatemala.

It may not be an angry mob. That may be completely unfair, but they have a knee jerk reaction. This again, is because you sometimes echo the company you keep.

To be fair, if she was as correctly characterized than there is a grain of truth to the some people here say.

Your accusations have been totally unfounded. You simply refuse to recognize our right to oppose illegal immigration, and have resorted to demonization. It’s unnecessary, and accomplishes nothing.

So this forums ugly comments directed at this women and her children is exercising your right to oppose illegal immigration.

My calling out of your said ugly comments is demonizing.

I see how that works....again same old stuff, smoke and mirrors.

Although I think that living in Mexico is not as bad as a homeless shelter in the US, some of these comments are just meant to disparage illegals and are completely unnecessary.
I beg to differ. Illegals should be disparaged and it is necessary so that Americans that are still asleep wake up and know the truth about them.

If you are not who I think you are, please accept my humble apology.

I feel more sympathy for the community college student. I personally don't like the racial tones of the first woman.

Illegal immigration reform is not an easy issue. It's really complicated. I don't think that as a nation we are where we need to be to sit down with all sides and figure something out.
