		<description>There is no &quot;constitutional expectation of privacy&quot;. (Although one notes that it is called an expectation, not a right).

There is a right to property.

The privacy crap is a head fake to displace and undermine the right to property.</description>

		<description>thanks neocon mom.  

My husband and I have had to travel to Orlando (about an hour drive) several times to stand in line like cattle and be allowed entrance to prove we were married lawfully, have a REAL marriage, have roots ie bought a house that we both live in, have bank accounts etc etc. 

 I had to sign a promise to make sure that I would not allow him to get to the point of being on the US tab.  That means welfare, medicaid etc etc.  That until he becomes a citizen I must provide all support if he can&#039;t/won&#039;t.  All fair enough...we find that as it should be. (Of course I never have had to...he&#039;s a hard worker ;-D )

But compare that with the illegals that can get anything they want!  Makes no sense what so ever.

We were very lucky. We knew we were getting married and did so, which allowed him to stay until his status could be documented.  That was in 1999.  Right after 9/11/2001 they changed the law that said the alien partner would have to return to their native country until their status could be upgraded.  That could take years....That&#039;s doing it by the law. But if that&#039;s the law, then it&#039;s the law.  There was good reason for it after 9/11.  We just happened to be lucky in timing.

However these illegals just waltz over and get everything.  Jobs, driver&#039;s lic, public housing, welfare, education, health-care.  What a great country we live in.

Do it right, by the law and they will punish you.  Do it illegally, and we&#039;ll give you everything, with no danger of punishment.</description>

		<description>So....in other words, we have no hope of deporting the 20 million illegal immigrants who broke our laws in order to reside in the United States. None. To note that illegal Mexican immigrants look Mexican would be to impede upon their freedom - so no more searches unless you raid the African American or Caucasian families next door, just for racial balance. 

Heck, if we&#039;re going to apply Constitutional rights to non-citizens and &quot;privacy&quot; for criminal acts why not go all the way and make sure they can hold American property, too? The Bill of Rights has a specific amendment about that one - for citizens only, but who&#039;s counting? And the Mexican flag rallies must be celebrated too. Give them free health care while we&#039;re at it and only ride the legal citizens for tax revenue. Keep the undocumented content until the next amnesty program comes along. That about sums up the liberal agenda. Appease, ignore, and recruit. Ta-da, another voting bloc for the left. 

&quot;Latinos made up a disproportionate number of the people arrested who were not the stated targets of the raids, &quot;

Oh, my goodness....many illegal immigrants from Latin America are of Latin America descent! Surprise! The sky is falling. Now it&#039;s racist to note the obvious when searching for undocumented persons (and for the record, I have a parent, a legal citizen, from l.a.).</description>

		<description>&quot;The raids are ostensibly aimed at targeted individuals who present threats either to national security or community safety, but arrests of illegal immigrants nearby, known as collateral arrests, are also made.&quot;

And ANYBODY (citizen or not) who has a problem with this activity described above ... needs to LEAVE WITH THE ILLEGALS!</description>

		<description>My best friend was I was a little girl came here from Zimbabwe. Her father was Irish by birth and they were fleeing Mugabe&#039;s regime.
Of course the language and culture were no issue for them. My friend was a girl scout, her two older brothers were boy scouts, dad was an engineer or something along those lines. It took them at least 7 years to obtain citizenship, and they also had to re-enter the country at some point. They spent over a month in Germany for this purpose (why Germany I have no idea.) At that point they were people without a country--no longer Zimbabweans, no longer Britons, just waiting on American citizenship which they did get. She is now an elementary school teacher in TX. 
I always thought that what they had to go through was madness, but they were decent people and did everything by the book. It is an insult to their decency and all those who go about the process legally and at great personal expense that people can get away with this phony baloney agitating.</description>

		<description>I have always wondered about this.  All of the people who I know who cry out in defense of illegals (and have HUGE issues with the term &quot;illegal&quot;) want social justice for people who just want to feed their children and lead happy lives.  Sounds nice, doesn&#039;t it?  

But I have never once heard one of them cry out for social justice IN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES so that they don&#039;t have to leave it.  It is always the US that is made out to be the big bad monster (where the illegals come for a new and better life).</description>

		<description>&quot;Latinos made up a disproportionate number of the people arrested---&quot;   

Well DUH!  Where do you suppose the majority of our illegals come from?  Here on the northern border we get more Europeans especially former Soviet bloc, Middle Easterns and Asians than Latinos but down south they are about 99.8% of those who enter illegally.  And by sheer volume it is about a 500 to 1 ratio.  The average large station like El Paso or Laredo average about 1000 or more apps a day.  We&#039;re lucky to do that in a year.

This is from the US Criminal Code:

ENTRY WITHOUT INSPECTION IS A CRIME: In fact, pursuant to 8 U.S.C. 1325, crossing the border illegally is a crime–a misdemeanor for the first offense and a felony for the second and subsequent offenses.

As you can see, they are all criminals, most likely felons.  I still don&#039;t understand how these dim-libs can keep screaming about the illegal&#039;s rights.  As far as profiling goes, we use it because it works, plain and simple.  We need to close the borders, round up all of them and deport them, then we can consider LEGAL immigration again.</description>

		<description>Hey, is America a great country or what?

So they can&#039;t be deported unless they&#039;re arrested.  And they can&#039;t be arrested unless they&#039;re &quot;targeted&quot; in a warrant.  And they can&#039;t be targeted because they&#039;re undocumented.  And even if they were arrested, nothing ever happens, it&#039;s just a game of catch-and-release.

So . . . .  Untold millions of drifters and criminals, each with his own portfolio of papers, changing identities willy-nilly, laughing at the system.  If they can just hang on for a few more weeks, they&#039;ll get free nationalized health care.  Oh, wait a minute . . . they&#039;ve already got that!

And . . . .  If they just hang on another six months or so, there will be another one-time-only amnesty.  And then they will all be on the path to citizenship, because their papers will be well in order, thanks to veteran forgers like Luis Martinez-Flores (or whatever his real name is) and lawyers from the Immigration Justice Clinic at Yeshiva University.  

But what about disability?  If each migrant has twenty sets of papers, does that mean twenty Social Security checks?  And twenty votes?!

The wheels have come off of America.  In a few more years the entire country will be Californiaized––overrun, conquered, bankrupted, and broken beyond repair.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t &quot;WE&quot; have lawyers on our side that will argue the case that the word &quot;ILLEGAL&quot; means something other than, &quot;C&#039;mon up and cop some free vittles and meds.&quot;
For the love of God ...... I&#039;d can&#039;t comprehend where in the world common sense went to because everywhere I look, none is to be found!

I put illegals right next to burglars. Both are sneaky thieves. Both break in to places they are not suppose to be!
Pot smokers go to jail. Thieves and some con artist go to jail. White and Blue collar criminals go to jail. Americans of all colors and persuasions go to jail if they break the law.  But because you jump our border illegally ..... you are automatically given a by your leave and the police are expected to look the other way!!

&quot;GO HOME YOU UNWANTED LEECHES ON OUR SOCIETY&quot;
&quot;THERE IS NO WELCOME MAT FOR YOU AT OUR DOOR&quot;</description>

		<description>As usual, it seems the illegal aliens have more rights than naturally born citizens or those aliens, like my husband who have jumped through all the lawful hoops.

Ahh, America, land of the free (illegal aliens)!</description>
