People get all worked up when an illegal commits a violent crime but disregard other minority groups with criminal tendencies.

the thing is Jim, the "illegals problem" (I think everybody agrees there is a problem) is not a partisan issue as it stands right now. So in terms of digging Hillary with it, it just doesn't make sense thats the point.

The republicans that supported Bush's abortive immigration policy (which he has pushed for years btw) supported it as just more pork (non cash pork) for the business lobby. Businesses want cheap labor, why not? And Bush is the pawn of business no matter what the cost to the USA. Bush is also for dumping any sort of workplace safety laws and all kinds of other BS, and immigration is one more component of it. Thats Bush's agenda with immigration.

On the dem side its a little less clear to me why they push for immigration, I guess to get more voters since immigrants will likely vote Dem.

So there you have it, 2 parties with 2 pathetic agendas when it comes to illegals, something that US citizens have REPEATEDLY said they do not support. The problem is, this is non partisan. There is nothing about Hillary's position on illegals that makes her more of an amnesty supporter than anybody else. Hillary doesn't stand up at a SOTU address and make illegal amnesty a KEY PLANK for the year- Bush did that.

Newark is a "Sanctuary City" - a designation voted on by "citizens" I would imagine. The "Perp" was out on bond - charged with sexual abuse - repeatedly AND because of this He was NOT reported to federal agencies which would have jailed/deported him!! Of course New York IS also a sanctuary city brought to you by Jelliany - Your next Repugnaton President. Thank You for your time... Paul

RE:"Not any different than paying the corporate welfare for American financial/money institutions."

Kind of a cop out?

What do you think of the throat slittings in Newark of US citizens by Illegals? No biggie if they hadn't have done it some US citizens would have? NG.


Not a cop out at all. Just a matter of priorities. I pay much much more for corporate welfare than I do for illegal-immigrant welfare. So, to put things in perspective, I care less about the illegal immigrant welfare.

Re: the throat slittings, get serious. More infants die every day from being left in overheated cars. So, let's deport all mothers. That's where your logic takes you.

best...
