@duanescot The immigrants don't need anyone to take care of them. They are the ones who are taking care of us. These people work in restaurants and hotels doing menial work like serving, cooking kitchens, cleaning, laundry, etc. They also take care of other people's children. Wake up.

@budb11 They do have rights under the Constitution. For one, every person has the right to due process. Second, you are not paying for immigrant needs. They have sacrificed to get to this country. And they still sacrifice when they accept menial jobs that most Americans, and even some legal immigrants, are unwilling to do. Migrant work is one job most Americans are unwilling to do.

Even though a civil offense, illegal presence in the US carries a penalty. Besides, illegal entry is felony. Remeber, OJ murdered his wife, and it was tried in a Civil Court.

@USASecretHistory

But thats ok though because your country is FINISHED and it will take a tumble off a cliff because idiots like you continue to distort reality with your liberal and conservative fantasies, and unaware of the seriousness that is about to hit your country.

WE`LL I`m a Canadian so no Tea Party movement here and the John Birch Society I think left Canada in the 90`s so your ignorant assumptions have no basis here. I project that you`re probably in high school and only believe what corporate media tells you. I guess Michael Moores next documentary; we can count on you waiting in the front of the lines. Typical idiot drone you are, has to resort to name calling rather than an actual debate. MORON MORON MORON!!

@Reido2828 You received your indoctrination from the John Birch Society and the Tea Party Movement.

@Reido2828 You two sound like you're in some type of therapy session. It's a good thing we're not living in the 1950s or 60s. They would have looked you two up in an insane asylum.

@duanescot This is complete lunacy. The so-called taxpayers of South Carolina (remember Gingrich complaining about black people on food stamps in the S.C. debates?) actually take in $1.35 from the federal government for every federal tax dollar they pay. This is the lunacy of the Right. They have been making this claim since the 1960s.

@duanescot The problem with imprisoning undocumented immigrants is the fault of the US immigration system. Entering the United States illegally or overstaying your visa is a civil offense, not a criminal offense. But the US legal system has decided to criminalize them. Instead it should solely focus on criminal offenses committed by undocumented immigrants.

@duanescot More white people have been using public transportation since the spike in gas prices. At least in LA> We're not living in the halcyon days of the 50s. More white people are on welfare than minorities.
