re: airamana
So you think I'm a minuteman sitting around making up stories about illegal aliens? Sorry to disappoint you, I simply posted a true story because I worked at the elections office and got an insiders view of what was right, and wrong, with our system.
I suppose if I told you that my 72 year old mom ended up in the hospital because she was hit by a SUV with an illegal alien driving (no license, no insurance)-- you'd think I'm that same lying minuteman, right? Well, it happened, and I spoke with the cops on the scene who gave me that information. I suspected they were illegal when they couldn't speak a word of English, but when I found out the the young woman driver didn't even have a license to drive, well, I was spitting mad. Yeah, my mom ended up in the hospital, and you think I'm some minuteman making up these hate stories. Notice how I haven't given the race of these people??? Because that it not the issue!!!! The issue is that we all have to obey the laws of the land, don't you agree? When I lived in foreign countries, I learned to speak their language, and I lived by the law of their land, because it was the right thing to do. Isn't it fair of us to ask of people who visit or live in this country to comply with our laws??
And FYI, that young woman driver was not deported.
