Have you guys ever actually met and talked with illegal immigrants or those who work with them?

They are constantly at the risk of deportation. They do a minor infraction and get caught, and they get deported. The SS and license are so they can get to work and that's because there's relatively little checking past the first stage (do you have those things? good. do they look real? good). For anything that actually has a real followup such as government assistance programs, they basically stay out of. For any time they need to get their documentation looked at, they stay out of it if possible because it's an additional chance to getting caught. We're talking about waves of fear on the spanish language radio in major centers with some people warning illegal immigrants not to talk to anyone involved with the 2010 Census (even though the Census has an official policy of NOT having its results be applicable for immigration reviews) because the feds will get that info somehow and snatch you up. Do you guys even speak a word of Spanish?

Also, again, are these illegal immigrants really the archetypical image you get when you think of Hispanic American voters? Like, really?

This is like picturing prison inmates or welfare recipients, etc. when you hear African-American voter when the vast majority of African-Americans are not criminals are employed and not receiving welfare. It's ridiculous and for some reason Republicans now attract people who do make these sort of associations and are driving American citizens of Hispanic or black ancestry who might otherwise vote for Republican into voting otherwise.

I believe you've made allegations with no supporting factual evidence.

I'm silly? Really? Because I reiterate what the bat crap crazy right was alleging?

GOP’s ACORN moment - Salon.com

It was a pitch perfect analogy!

Ingenious strategy really.

I mean, what will draw the ever more important Hispanic vote for the GOP in upcoming elections more than stuff like this?


Seriously??? And these people wonder why they lose elections.....
