the illegals (mostly Mexicans) get their panties all bunched up about their rights here in the USA, I can't help but be reminded of all the pain, suffering, crime, and theft of social services that they bring with them. It's tiresome to listen to their complaining, pissing and moaning, and ridicule because they just keep taking. In addition they seem ashamed to be from Mexico.

Our current immigration laws allow for separation of families, the violation of human rights, and unchecked racism, discrimination and xenophobia. Our laws are broken. We're in dire need of comprehensive immigration reform that allows for humane treatment of all people in our country with laws that are just and fair.

'Our current immigration laws allow for separation of families, '

The family can be whole if everyone follows the law and waits their turn.

' the violation of human rights and unchecked racism, discrimination and xenophobia.'

Bull.

'Our laws are broken. '

Being broken that is. What do you call someone who breaks the law? A criminal.

look at each of these photos and that last one was the best. That guy dressed up like a near-sighted turquoise pheasant is a scream. He's lucky it's not near-sighted turquoise pheasant season.

Illegal is against the law; federal law.

It is humorous to me that you have this opinion because it is mirrored through out history, race does not breed crime. economic instability breeds crime. Besides I am sure you are the descendant of an immigrants from Europe. I am biased growing up in L.A. I realize the importance of a homogenised ethnic culture. There is author in the late 1890's named Francis Walker who wrote extensively about closing the doors of America to immigrants. I am sure you would find his opinions interesting however he does not speak of Hispanic immigrants, but eastern and southern Europeans.
