[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You liberals needs to take a few of these illegals into your house for a few days.  Maybe your faux outrage would turn into real outrage once you get a dose of what it's really like to deal with these folks.[/quote]

Well, we've befriended many over the years and DH mentored one who is now working as a naval sub officer - one of the toughest military programs to get into - so yeah, we are proud of our "illegal" immigrant friends and our lives have been enriched. Have you ever invited them to your home?  If so, I'm sorry you have had a hard time, unlike us.

We have family members who came in and overstayed their visas, have worked in white collar jobs for years (sometimes decades), earned money, paid college/grad school tuition, spent $$$$$ in our economy and paid taxes the entire time that they will not get back because when they finally become legal (ours through work sponsorship), they start anew paying taxes under their name and new social. They are full contributing members of the US regardless of their status. Our kids' classmates parents work 2-3 jobs, most have their own businesses and bust their @$$es off.

Immigration reform is fine but there are millions of kids who were born here to immigrant parents whose families are/will be torn apart if this continues. I live along rte 1 in Alexandria where the raids took place and the fear on the faces of, in particular Muslim women wearing scarves but now Hispanics too, is palpable and many of them are here legally and they are terrified. This type of treatment will breed homegrown terrorists among young men who already struggle here. We already have plenty of white male terrorists - let's not get started on another type. [/quote]
