Excellent response. In those times, if an immigrant didn’t work they starved. Now, the immigrants (legal and otherwise) risk nothing. If they don’t work, the gov’t provides welfare, which allows them to live better than they did in their own country working for a living. I remember seeing a stat once that said almost 40% of immigrants prior to 1900 returned home as they were unable to make it here. I wonder what that return rate is today? Given welfare and social nets that provide a comfortable living without working, my guess is very few ever return home. “It is impossible to have a welfare state and open immigration” (paraphrase of the Milton Friedman quote).

Not only should this person (illegal or alien) have been behind bars for the previous 4 arrests, it only adds insult to this death that he should also have been deported immediately upon his first arrest.

Just because this idiot and the open-borders idiots have no respect for the local, State, and Federal jurisdictions in which they live, that does not give them the right to not have those laws enforced upon them. Unless, as by their suggestion, we also have that right.

It is the duty of every citizen to insure that 1) the laws are enforced properly, and 2) those that do not respect one are not allowed to voice that disrespect.

Stand in front of them when they are at the courthouse. Interrupt their press conferences. Hold banners of this child in front of them at every opportunity, and repeatedly ask “Why did you murder this child!”

They no longer get to speak about this topic.

Eleazar Rangel-Ochoa pleaded not guilty to charges of felony driving on a suspended license and misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide.

Misdemeanor motor vehicle homicide?

Just a reminder that we illegally went into Iraq and some of our soldiers accidentally or intentionally killed many little kids.

Just a reminder: Under Bill Clinton’s watch, the 9/11 hijackers ~illegally entered and trained in this country to intentionally use as missiles US passenger jets that contained several American children.

Are you suggesting that this country should go back to it’s founding and subsequent 100 years where there was no such thing as an illegal immigratant, as there were no immigration laws?

You mean when there was no such thing as a welfare state, attracting uneducated and unskilled workers, many whose primary goal was to leech off of the tax-paying, law-abiding citizens (while driving wages down) and send whatever money they got back to their home country, who segregated themselves in their own communities, refused to learn the dominant language and refused to assimilate themselves?

We should understand them. We should welcome them with open arms, regardless of what it will do to our country, our economy, our health system, and so much more. We should grant them Amnesty so that everyone loves us and so we don’t make people who break our laws mad at us. After all, they are just hard working folks who want a better life.

Well, me too. Why aren’t I given the same…after all, I am a hard working person who simply wants a better life…and I am an American citizen. Heck…25% of me is more American than the other 75%.

So no…I do not agree with them. People like that make no sense. They would give away security and sovereignty simply so as no one’s precious feelings are hurt. It is like trying to reason with kindergartners…spoiled beyond belief kindergartners.
