"It's unthinkable that in Lakewood, where we're supposed to be building tolerance and respect, we'd find a something like this," said Lydia Valencia, CEO of Puerto Rican Congress of New Jersey, based in Lakewood.
It's unthinkable that in Lakewood, where they should be building trust and morals, that there would be so many illegitimate business up and running.

Why was the sign taken down? Who is trying to protect all the illegal drug dealers and money launderers? Who in the right mind would try to protect these illegal immigrants from performing illegal activities?

William Freer- Lakewood, NJ-Undocumented immigrants are a problem everywhere in the US today. The crackdown needs to start with the employers that hires these undocumented people illegally for lower wages than everyone else. I worked for one of these companies for about eighteen months when I was pressured to learn spanish by my supervisor in addition to my employment duties. I could not do so in time, being in a manufacturing setting production suffered and I was terminated. This company will remain in business foul practices and all.

Sorry Geraldo, last time I looked Puerto Rico was part of the US. They are not the undocumented immigrants we are talking about.

look Lakewood is a town in deep financial trouble.Not only from Latino immigrants but also the Jewish community as well.The only people this sign effects is the Jewish community on that note they don't live by the laws and rules of the land anyway.So whats good for the goose is good for the gander.Also what ever happened to the Jewish woman who killed her babby by leaving her in the car down the road from second st.?Or the Rabi who fought the police after picking up a hooker on 4th street ?Have you seen all the signs in lakewood in hebrew i wonder what they say.

The only people who should fear this sign would be the illegal work and entitlement thieves...Tough, if one doesn't do things the legal way, the resulting consequences for their illegal actions can always be a possiblity in their futures...as they should be.

Jews are the reason that we have dual citizenship in the USA. Since 1964 you are not required to swear sole allegiance to the USA while reaping all the benefits the USA has to offer. As if being God's chosen people wasn't enough already.

Perez v. Brownell, 356 U.S. 44 (1958)
Clemente Perez, a native-born US citizen, moved to Mexico prior to World War II, and remained there for most of the war, in defiance of his legal obligation to register for US military service. While living in Mexico, he entered the US on two occasions, claiming to be a native-born Mexican citizen seeking temporary work as an alien. He was eventually stripped of his US citizenship for evading military service, and also because he had voted in a Mexican election.

The Supreme Court ruled, 5-4, that Congress had the power to revoke the citizenship of Americans who voted in foreign elections, in order to avoid embarrassment in the conduct of foreign relations.

The court rejected the notion that the 14th Amendment's "citizenship clause" restricted Congress's power to revoke citizenship. And it chose not to deal at all with the question of whether citizenship could be withdrawn for remaining outside the US to avoid military duty.

The holdings in the Perez case were repudiated by the Supreme Court nine years later, in Afroyim v. Rusk.

Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967)
Beys Afroyim (born Ephraim Bernstein in Poland in 1893) immigrated to the US in 1912 and became a naturalized US citizen in 1926. In 1950, Afroyim moved to Israel. He tried to renew his US passport in 1960, but the State Department refused on the grounds that he had lost his citizenship by voting in an Israeli election in 1951. Afroyim sued the State Department, and the Supreme Court ruled (5-4) that he was still a US citizen.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Pisces

If you-know-who has been getting on your nerves recently, matters will soon come to a head and force you to take drastic action. As Mars turns tail in your sixth house, you might finally lose your rag with someone at work who's been testing your patience to the limit. Stand your ground if you feel you're being messed about in some way. Clear the air if needs be, but don't create a really nasty atmosphere by throwing an eye-popping tantrum. Take care of any infections.
