Send them all back to their country of orgin. They can then petition the international court for all their greivences and thus they will prevail if they have standing and proof of their mistreatment. Do not spend one more US dollar to house feed and pamper these law breakers.

I recently became aware -
If you'll google Aztlan - great Youtube video.
You won't believe it.

While you're at it, google MEChA -

This "invasion" is not just about immigration.

70,000 marching in the streets claiming a third of the US is the Hispanic Homeland that they want to annex to northern Mexico.

Native Americans know more than anyone what happens when invasion/immigration isn't controlled.

Send the ILLEGALS back to their countries and send the lawyers with them. We do not need the likes of them here in this country. Crimes have been committed by these illegal aliens and they they should be held accountable for crimes against the AMERICAN PEOPLE. Which brings up the question, what about my rights as a REAL AMERICAN CITIZEN? I am a victim of their crimes as we all are, since we have to support them with our tax money and social services.
C'MON PEOPLE SPEAK UP AND BE HEARD..you are being taken advantage of.

Illegal Aliens and Immigration is NOT the same thing. Immigrant is a legal status granted by a sovereign country. We have to many folks who do not know and are ignorant or outright deceivers, confusing illegal alien workers calling them illegal immigrants with immigrants. Criminals did NOT build America; Citizens and LEGAL immigrants built it. American’s want an end to anarchy! This is NOT a Democrat, Republican, Independent issue. It's an American Issue.

Illegal aliens are criminals, those who hire them are criminals and those who aid-and-abet them are criminals.

Illegal aliens in America have NO rights. We are required by law to arrest and prosecute, deport them.(Title 8 U.S. Code) To report illegal aliens call the DHS National Hotline 1 866 DHS 2ICE.(1-866-347-2523)

No, matter your political party affiliation, and setting aside your thoughts on issues. We all need to remember what it is to be an American Citizen. We need to make sure our elected representatives obey their Oath of Office and keep their Oath of Allegiance. See http://tinyurl.com/2znnvl Know whom you are voting for.

With Reno and her gang of misfits out of office, the time has come to correct the misunderstanding/abuse of the "anchor baby" policy (ploy). It isn't now, nor has it ever been a law that children that happen to be born on American soil automatically become U.S. citizens - it was just the policy of the Clinton's and Reno. This was to allow an invasion of our country by making up some policy that they could use to make it a dreadful thing to deport the illegal. The illegal invaders need to go and they must take their kids with them. GO ICE – kick ass and take names!

What a country!
Notice not once in the story was the word ILLEGAL immigrant used.
For every illegal deported they should take a lawyer with them.

"We need unskilled workers (also highly skilled workers)"

Our public school system is working tirelessly to produce those unskilled workers - and doing GREAT job of it!

The fact that this business apparently solicited illegal laborers speaks to workforce supply/demand issues that we Americans have conveniently chosen to ignore.
Our workforce is aging.The boomers are going on social security in unprecedented numbers in the next decade.

Native born Americans don't aspire to work in slaughterhouses (or cleaning toilets etc). Teenagers stick up their noses at working at "Mickey D's"
US unemployment still hovers around 5%- economists say this is just about full employment.
If you are pro-business, anti-inflation and have a whit of common sense about the reasons why employers chose to hire illegal workers, you'd work for a sensible immigration reform bill.
Also food for thought: all these illegals are paying social security taxes unsing false IDs. Imagine what will happen to THAT system when all the illegals get deported.
I don't care send the breeders along with the anchors to the country of orgin and then explain why they are putting the mexician flag above the US flag..they are useless..we have a wait list of people trying to get here legally..deport the illegals and then let the ones on the list in..they should have skills and speak ENGLISH

In the mid 50's, I worked my summers topping carrots and onions for .11 cents a crate along side braceros.
They worked the crops from Texas to Canada and went back to Mexico for the winter.They applied for work permits as they moved north. They were here legaly, unlike many of the currant workers. That system ended with Chavez and the Unions organizing workers in the early 60's and driving many small farmers out of business.This mess was created by pandering political payoffs, so don't expect crooked congress people to correct this problem anytime soon. Looking away buys campaign money and votes to stay in office.

Notice how the Trib conveniently omits the word "ILLEGAL" from their "Immigration" story??

It's this kind of scardy-cat, P.C. bullcrap that perpetuates the problem!

The workers say their "rights" have been violated - HAH!- what rights? They're here ILLEGALLY!!- NO RIGHTS INVOLVED!

What's up with these lawyers? These illegals are criminals and using our system to gain our money, civil rights since when does an illegal criminal none the less, have any rights, these rights are for the CITIZENS of this country, so many stupid people, illegal is illegal and these lawyers are pandering to these criminals. I guess not all lawyers have a brain eiher....

Let's see. 306 out of 389 were breaking our laws. That's nearly 80%. It certainly seems that the feds were doing their job.

This frivolous case should be dismissed.

Perhaps an apology is in order: "We're sorry you were inconvenienced for awhile. It is the direct fault of all these Mexican citizens breaking our laws."

If you rednecks are too lazy to take back breaking jobs, than why fault immigrants?

They are hear because there is a demand for their labor. Got a problem with immigration, look in the mirror. Stop posting all day and look for a job you do nothing lay about.
