Postville Immigrants Seek Refuge At St. Bridget's

[SchlossOtranto]

My wife and I paid tens of thousand of dollars to bring our adopted Guatemalan children into the US legally. WHO THE FUCK DO THESE WHORES AND PIMPS THIN K THEY ARE?!

[AmyMichele1975]

Why do they keep having so many kids if they are so poor?



[josetspy1]

@AmyMichele1975 Are You Retarded ??? They Said Pedro Has Three Children

[AmyMichele1975]

@josetspy1 And? Why do they have kids they can't afford after coming here illegally and expect everyone to help them when they can't afford them or get deported and separated then they cry poor me. Maybe they shouldn't have broken the law???

[future4you]

This church is just trying to recruit more money.

[StLouisSouth1]

Where the hell do Catholic churches---who routinely hide behind bankruptcy laws---get the money to smuggle and harbor illegal aliens?

[TDRHawkeye]

The housing market was crap before they came. However, the homes that WERE there were occupied by families with jobs. There wasn't such a thing as "rental" in our world...we didn't know what it meant. I grew up just south of the PHS school.

[hardcorenyc]

If mexicans come here & destroy what we have what makes them think that it will benefit them?? Theres the door aliens!

[GenocidioGringo]

Comment removed

Political correctness = censorship.

So why don't they take their kids back with them? Because the United States is such a racist, terrible country?

[hardcorenyc]

@GenocidioGringo - your the racist mexican waving your flag & demanding rights you will never get you Alien!

[X9Intelectual]

@hardcorenyc No self confidence? What's your relief? You're stimulating suffering through the needy recovery of proposals which are not in your concern, you only feel threaten. You're Uncle Sam's faithful puppet.

[hardcorenyc]

@X9Intelectual - blah blah blah ? I would do the same plus crack your head open!

[X9Intelectual]

@hardcorenyc LOL LOL LOL !! You can stop hiding in shame, and do your self a favor, and crack a nail in your head deep in your brain.

[MikeBA10]

im sick of this crap. quit coming into our country! stop making our country look bad because your country is crap. if they're so afraid of being taken away, STOP COMING HERE! There are so many Americans out there working so damn hard to get paid shit! And the ones who don't have jobs are trying to get something, but you illegal aliens take it away from them! Go back to Central America!

[teseo1a]

@MikeBA10 It isn't that easy. please, you and everyone must understand that undocumented migrants don't want to come, they have to! Would you want to leave the country and home you were raised in? No! But would you do it to save your starving children? This is the choice people are faced with! This is why people die trying to get into this country! Not because America is all that great.. but because in America they can survive, they can feed their children. we all need to be more understanding.

[GLCSR]

Illegals run their country into the ground then want to come here and get a free ride. What a bunch of racist illegals. All illegals are racist for thinking we should just give them something free!

[xxoono]

They were working and paying taxes. They weren't getting anything for free.

Why didn't your ancestors stay in Europe and fix it instead of coming here?

[johnknoefler]

Some of my ancestors left europe to get away from idiots who thought like you. Some of my ancestors were already here.

[jazznjava]

2.36-2.46 is so sad

[erikinct]

The church scandals has hurt peoples trust. If they had control of thier priests they would not have this problem. Now the churches look up to the illegal aliens for their funding giving safe havens and supporting their political views. Churches that show political views should have their non pofit tax id's revoked. Lets face the facts. If we did not give out govermental services to the illegals they might left or not have come at all. It's also the employeers fault also aiding the illegals.

[johnknoefler]

The stupid mexican woman whines that she was exploited because she found a job illegally in the USA. They keep forgetting about forged documents. What a bunch of garbage. they are traumatized because they thought they could get away with it forever. they never expected to get caught. Now shut up and go back to Mexico.

[lumpagogo]

They are now getting: SSI DPA cash Food Stamp Fuel Stamp Section 8 Free clothing from the RCC Free cheese Free medical benefits for life Pay no taxes more

[Erinthebadger]

No one force them to break the US immigration laws...If I rob a bank... my children suffer...sheezzz

[thecoldhardtruth]

In John 10:1, Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."

[johnknoefler]

Exactly. You are soo right. Thanks for reminding us of that scripture. These jerks in Postville don't understand that the jobs can be filled by legal americans.

[jekylfoot]

I don't want to be insensitive but a parent bears some responsibility for the position they put their children in. If a person is working in a country illegally maybe they should hold off on having kids till they can get settled properly.

[pureco99]

i cannot believe people in her will disrespect members of the church. such a shame to come across such garbage society who all they think about is them selves. /thread. /story.

[rithra1213]

Illegal Mexicanos have zero rights being here in the USA. Mexico is a big country with good farm land for Mexicanos to work and own. If Mexicanos cannot control their own country, they desrve no country. They have no pride or culture and they run from their own shadows. They sell their own people into slavery, seduce their kind with drugs. If you you want your country, freedom, rights and respect, you should stay in Mexico or Mexico will be learning another foreign language.

[teseo1a]

@rithra1213 actually, drugs produced in mexico are sold to the u.s. market, mexican themselves are not consuming them. also, the poor in mexico HAVE NO ACCESS TO INCOME, no way to make money! thats why they have to come here. they would otherwise die, along with their children, in mexico. its not just that mexicans think america is so cool that they give up the home they grew up, their culture, and their friends for an underpaid crummy job here. nobody wants to.. they HAVE to. its really sad :(

[napa964]

Thank you Sojo! I think that if there were not organizations and activists getting these important stories out, then we would not change our country for the better of the people and bring compassion to our convictions. It is time to bring humanity back to the immigration debate.

[kzielo]

well, i'm an american citizen, and i dedicate my vote to keeping families together.

even president bush supports rehabilitation

[dropsofintensity]

Lisa Powell (the Postville citizen in the video) said that we should "stand-up-to what is wrong"...well...illegal immigration is wrong, is it not? "ILLEGAL"...that word itself means "wrong." Stand up for what is right and quit mourning for the illegal immigrants. Lisa needs to figure out what is truly right and what is really wrong in this situation.

[florespslm]

What about my children....I am a US citizen and my children are US citizens, but if my husband is deported I will be left a single mother and without his support in raising and supporting them. Immigration laws are not just complicated....it is almost always IMPOSSBIBLE for the average young man or women to immigrate legally to the US for the purpose of working a labor type job. A legal method does not exist! I want to know why the employers that lured my husband here are not in jail.

[dropsofintensity]

The "impossibility" of these people being granted legalization should tell you something; like maybe these laws are getting tighter because they really aren't wanted here. I'm truly sorry for your children's possible loss of their father, but I have no pitty for you or your husband knowing full well what you were doing when you married him as an illegal. You and anyone supporting this wrongdoing should be punished. As for the employers, they should be shut down (this is their 2nd offense).

[225Randy]

Perhaps the Catholic church should pay heavy heavy US takes for harboring these illegal criminals in Iowa. And that stupid nunn who wants people to violate our laws should be stripped of her whatever!--

[dropsofintensity]

AMEN!!!

[linwooddeaton]

Sounds like these people in IA don't understand the invasion. The stores closed were catering to hispanics.

The nun is clueless as to the invaders.

I suggest the "church" take care of these folks until they can be repatriated to thier own countries.

[dropsofintensity]

I think the majority of people here do understand the invasion...it's the ones who were probably dating a hispanic have a different opinion on the situation : ) Wouldn't those folks be surprised to find that their hispanic lover really never cared for them in the first place but was really after a green card through marriage. I've seen way too many "undesirable" caucasian women paired up with a man of hispanic descent...not saying that this is the case in EVERY situaion, but for many it is.

[MikeBA10]

I live in Iowa and am in high school. Just played a basketball game in their gym and I am truly disgusted of how much they have hurt our country.

[teseo1a]

@MikeBA10 they have not hurt our country. our economy would actually crash without illegal immigrants... they have helped our country a lot.... and they have every right to live here.

[CitySnowball]

I work with LEGAL immigrants every day. I tell you first-hand Americans are not hired for these jobs b/c Americans don't want them. Also, many immigrants want to do right, but don't know the US law well enough to immigrate legally. I'm not excusing ignorance, but immigration law is VERY complicated. Lastly, I agree its WRONG that illegal children are educated by American's tax $. But let's stop pointing our fingers are children; let's point them at Washington. This system MUST be fixed.

[CitySnowball]

Corretion:

"Let's stop pointing our finger AT children; let's point them at Washington."

(sorry)

[jekylfoot]

Citysnowball please spare us the "americans don't want these jobs" nonsense. I've done and do many of these jobs myself. Americans just can't accept the reduced wages that immigrants are able to accept. I work with them everyday myself and I know their monthly bills are not the same as mine.

[dropsofintensity]

No one's pointing the finger at the illegal children...they don't know any better, however, their parents should know waaay better. And they knew damn well what the probabilities and consequences of getting caught were. I have no pitty for wrongdoing!

[PatriotSue]

American U.S. families, have to uproot and move everyday, when they need to look for other jobs. Tens of thousands of American U.S. citizens, lose their jobs, everyday. The jobs that these illegals had stolen, should have gone to American U.S. citizens, to begin with. Our people, U.S. citizens, need jobs at a fair wage, so we can give OUR CHILDREN, A BETTER FUTURE. Deportation is the punishment for being here, illegally. Illegals, teach your kids right from wrong. DON'T BREAK THE LAW.

[kyledeb]

This video brought tears to my eyes. So much sadness, but the voices of the U.S. citizens in this video are voices of Truth and voices of justice. If only more U.S. citizens stood up against the injustice as these two women have.

[icirr]

what kind of impact will this have on the children growing up in this town?

[PatriotSue]

Which children? Is your concern with U.S. children or the illegal children? With the illegals gone, Agriprocessors, now has the opportunity of hiring U.S. citizens at a good higher wage. If U.S. citizens can be hired at higher wages, it will be good for our U.S. children. The illegal children, now have the chance of going home and doing something for their country. The illegal children are now better educated, thanks to the U.S. tax

payers.

Exodus 23:9

Also you shall not oppress a temporary resident, for you know the heart of a stranger and sojourner, seeing you were strangers and sojourners in Egypt.

If the church continues to offer 'sanctuary', the church is a political organization and it should lose its tax exempt status.
