@TheJulioCode Rather than "stay away" I think more people could learn more and be involved. There are jobs that immigrants do that U.S. citizens won't do. Immigrants come here for jobs and opportunity.

Maria HInohosa is a great resource.

The video turned out fantastic. Glad I could help. Can't wait to see the documentary "Lost In Detention." Kudos to Maria Hinojosa.

@TheJulioCode

Herd the illegals back across the border, and put a stop to birthright citizenship as well.

[TheJulioCode]

@Americcan  Okay, dickless dicklicker. You have spread your ill-tempered point of view.

@TheJulioCode You said it, the early 80's, that was a long time ago. lol

The main reason why the police teaches Sunday school classes coach Little League ball teams become Boy Scout leaders. Because children will say anything that goes on in their homes. And a policeman knows how asked questions to get information that the children would not normally give. I do not have anything to hide I don't have small children now but if I had a child they would not be coached or taught by a policeman. Police are armed and retarded and the common enemy of the people.

"well where are your folks from.......... "

That is utterly irrelevant to the issue, but my ancestors were English and Scottish colonists in Virginia.

"remember the statu of liberty"

Fuck the statue of liberty and Emma Lazrus too. Neither one has anything to do with this discussion.

",the mayflower ring any bells .... "

Irrelevant. Grow up. PS- The Mayflower arrived many years after Jamestown was founded.

I don't blame the Mexicans for US jobs going to Mexico, and I do blame the US companies. That doesn't change what I said. Illegal aliens still don't belong in the US, and they should be deported. ALso, we need Congress to clarify for the courts that the 14th amendment was not intended to make the child of illegal aliens a US citizen.

@Americcan listen how can you blame the mexicans for the jobs that went to mexico you should be screaming at the companies that jumped ship and ran.they went there because they can get the same amount of work at three times cheaper than here. so your anger is at the wrong people step to the companies or dont you have that much heart.stop accusing.if you call the electric company all you will get is a computerised voice for the first twenty minutes.so stop blaming them the companies left

I bet they were aliens too
