The journalist takes great pains to report things from the illegal’s point of view. “a daughter at home who always asks why he’s not there to tuck her in at night”. And his idea of getting the other side’s view is to say “they sat in the diner discussing how it effects their community.”

Uh huh. Mind letting us know what they said? How is it effecting the community? Care to tell?

guess not.

MJ- you’ve pointed out a very key point. On one hand, we want to help people- all people from any country. You feel sympathy for the dad who wants a better life for his kids.

At the same time, you feel that there is a right way to go about doing it. And feeding one person’s kids with food stolen from the mouths of another person’s children is not the way to go about doing it.

I think thats the best way to go. It’s so simple. They come here illegally for the jobs, so if we take away the jobs they wont come here.

This stuff is like a cancer. Illegal labor is so intertwined into this economy.

Businesses hiring these illegal worker are the blood supply that needs to be cut off.

Maybe this minute-men should start protesting at all of these construction jobsites. I’d love to see that.

I always marvel at liberals who can not see beyond the comfort of the end of their own noses.

Things are really rough in Dufar. But, Dufar suffers the accident of geography by not being hooked onto the continent of North America. Shouldn’t we “level the playing field” by flying illegals in from around the globe?

On another note, I was particularly impressed to learn from the WaPo article that one of the minutemen smokes. Oh, the shame of it!

Meanwhile, The WaPo long ago abandoned the decay of Washington, D.C. for the upscale climes of suburban Virginia. Not too far from Herndon, in fact.
