And to top it off, he wants to be a lawyer. You should practivce what you preach by following the law and get your paperwork in order. It's just so wrong...

American Socialist - I think your argument about our ancestors is way off base. Everyone's ancestors were immigrants to their own countries. What we are talking about here is the current status quo, where each country has setup laws, rules and regulations to protect their countries from illegal aliens. I sure for one does not want my taxes to go to supporting them but rather support a legal resident/citizen.

the rule used to be if you violated the law on a regular basis you lacked the moral fitness to pass the character test- here - this guess knowingly wakes up every day and violates the law. . . . I'll leave you to decide if he has the moral fitness to be an attorney. He can not WORK legally - what good is a law license?

Next - American Socialist - where do I even start - I guess from what I read you are either lazy or an uninformed idiot. But - I need to back that up . . .

1. it is spelled BORDER -

2. It is spelled SECURITIZED . . . [did you see that little red underline - do you know what means?] you are either lazy or an idiot - pick one.

3. How can we tell the criminals from the people coming here to make a better life for themselves?

4. Our ancestors did not just get off the board . . . you should really actually learn something about immigration into Ellis Island and the early rules.

5. Our current immigration policy would work great if we actually followed it and enforced the law - and stopped giving preferences to people who jumped the line and came here WOP.

Ummm. I'm confused about the moral outrage here? I mean we are talking about application to be a lawyer, right? You know lawyer - rotten, loathsome, blood-sucking, narcissistic playboy dedicated to undermining the fabric of our society one technicality at a time?

Saying he isn't qualified to be a lawyer is like saying a mosquito is more likable than a flea. Maybe it is, but who the hell cares since they are both bloodsucking parasites??????

It is disgusting that the Florida Bar would deem someone who is here ILLEGALLY morally fit to serve in the capacity as a licensed attorney-- a person sworn and duty-bound to uphold the laws of the United States and the State of Florida. Everyone should call the Florida Bar to advise as to how this diminishes faith in our legal system: (850) 561-5600 (The Florida Bar)

If this person ever had a job, he would have committed I-9 perjury--- a FELONY! How does this qualify for moral fitness!????? Disgusting

Americans across the political spectrum (including this life-long Democrat) INSIST THAT OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS BE ENFORCED! A GOVERNMENT WHICH REFUSES TO ENFORCE ITS OWN LAWS IS INTOLERABLE!

@AngelicaS

I agree. I don't have so much of a problem with the illlegals themselves as I do with the government catering to them instead of enforcing one of the most fundamental laws of any soverign nation.

SO MUCH FOR "moral character review" DID ATTORNEYS EVER REALLY HAVE ANY ??????

American Socialist: My ancestors came here as British political prisoners, after they had been stripped of their land in Northern Ireland.

But by all means rewrite peoples family history. You kind of forgot the indentured servants and African slaves as well.

He's shooting a bird at US immigration law. You'd let him get away with it.

Reading the article, knowing that the young man has been following the paper trail, and that his father has managed to establish his own naturalization, I can see where the bar is coming from. I'm not saying that being an illegal immigrant is acceptable, but the article says that Garcia has been working on a permanent visa for 18 years. Obviously that started with his parents because at the age of nine it would have been tough, for again obvious reasons. The parents apparently did intend to defraud but the kid didn't at nine. Give this guy a shot, and expedite the processing of his permanent visa. He's followed the rules, including working on his status.

The very fact that i must qualify my statement on this is indicative of how upside down our society is but here goes,

I am a Hispanic, Latino what ever you want to call me. I am a first generation American meaning my parents immigrated here before I was born. My parents immigrated to the USA LEGALLY.

With that you can now throw away the "race card' that you Mr or Mrs Liberal were going to use.

Do you know who paid for this ILLEGAL immigrant's undergraduate and Law School?

My son that is who.

My son who is CHICANO i.e. Mexican-AMERICAN paid for this ILLEGAL immigrant's law degree. My son paid for it with a smaller Pell Grant award higher tuition and more student loan debt.

WAKE UP AMERICA ILLEGAL means ILLEGAL

I am living proof that LEGAL immigration into America is possible.

Those that come here illegally come with an attitude of NON Compliance with the laws that govern our society

what part of ILLEGAL doesn't anyone understand...... He broke the law ...that should diqualify him from being a lawyer.

Maybe robbers and killers should try to be police... God bless America .... We need it.

He wants to be a lawyer here..he's been here since a child..went to high school, college and law school and still not a American citizen..what are you waiting for??? I doubt very much he was waiting 18 years..if he was there is a problem with him..then if there is he shouldn't be a lawyer in the USA!

. he did his part the government hasn't and that makes him immoral?

--------------------------------------

Even if this were true, and I don't believe it is, did he leave and come back legally? Did he take the place of someone who DESERVED to be school? Did he work? Receive money to go to school from the taxpayers? Did he drive?

If the answer is yes, to any of these questions (and you and I know the answer is 'yes' to ALL of these questions), he's a criminal and his criminal activity has been on going for sometime. "Morality" isn't certain no part of his character...no part at all.

wait wait wait.... LAWYERS take a MORAL FITNESS TEST??????!!!!

ILLEGAL Immigrant.....Broke a Federal Immigration Law.

There ARE consequences for individuals who break LAWS, especially Federal Laws.

HELLO Florida !!!! READ the dad gum Federal Law and take appropriate action. This has NOTHING TO DO with him being MORAL.

He does not have the ability to work in the US legally so there is absolutely no reason he should be granted a license to do so. Send him back where he came from and let him apply for come here through the normal channels. To allow him to shortcut the process just because he sucked money from the US taxpayer for all these years to pay for his education is no reason to grant him special privileges. To allow him to shortcut the process is a slap in the face to every single immigrant who played by the rules, waited their turn, and came here legally.

Correct, Angela.

He's not asking to pick lettuce as a seasonal H-2 farm worker.

We have an immigration quota system and the quota from Mexico is full.

I think I speak for EVERYONE who is against illegal aliens that none of us care what race, creed, color, nationality, sexual persuasion or religion illegals are, we just want them OUT!

Racism, really? Did you graduate from any school, because most educated people don't sling around that tired, useless, used up word any longer. All it does is make people think you're stupid, but in your case, that shoe just may fit.

I think the word you are looking for is xenophobe, but, in the case of illegals, even that's not true.

MireVo, you are correct. Some people have trouble reading things in full. Namely, you. It was the California illegal's dad that has been waiting for 18 years, not the Florida lawyer wanna-be.

I don't believe it.

"moral fitness" and "lawyer" in the same sentence. I guess illegals can be admitted the the kingdom of the sharks by other sharks.

American Socialist - Great way to show your debate and discussion skills by attacking the person rather than debunking his/her points. You are awesome.

I don't have a say to where my taxes go? Really? Isn't the government elected by the people? And that the people choose the government representatives whom they think can represent them? The last time I checked, government officials are public servants who are elected by the majority to be their advocate of policies, which includes public spending aka where our taxes go?

I live in Arizona and have audited a public hospital being funded by AZ residents' taxes. And guess what, majority of their patients are illegals. It is crazy because everyone has the right to get medical attention and the police cannot get their information (status) from the hospital because of HIPAA. In the end, me and my felow AZ tax payers have to pay for that, instead of that tax money going to our roads, to our kids education (better schools, better lunches, etc.).

I think I speak for myself when i say that I would like to see him admitted to the bar in Florida. He obviously has the smarts and drive needed to be a successful person. Maybe he should also be put on a fast track to citizenship too. He may have entered the USA illegally, it was not his choice to do so. It was his parents' choice. It is a little late now to try to deport him. If he has passed the "litmus" test to be admitted to the bar, then do it. But also require him to do the citizenship thing too.

Angela LD - yes, Xenophobia is (in my humble opinion) rampant in America... and many European country's as well.. although they are probably not as pissed off about it because they have better immigration policy. and as for the comment you made -

""Racism, really? Did you graduate from any school, because most educated people don't sling around that tired, useless, used up word any longer. All it does is make people think you're stupid, but in your case, that shoe just may fit.""

Hmm, That's Lovely... I went to Collage,.. but i had to Return to a full time job before i had received a Degree. But I'm sure that even if i had my Degree, my thoughts and opinions would still appear uneducated, (stupid?). but I'm going to take a stab at it anyway...

I'm just Wandering what policy YOU would propose for Eradicating the Infestation problem of "Illegal Immigrants". there must be a few options, but considering our budget constraints.. we must be practical.

the cheapest option would be to organize small Volunteer groups of "Jack Booted" Thugs.. something like Mussolini's "Red Shirts".. each group can Monitor relatively small areas.. keeping security tight.. but NO GUNS ! night sticks will have to suffice, too much liability otherwise. the Real Problem is Sorting, Documenting, and Shipping them Back to their country of origin... WOW ! Talk about Expensive ! i mean it not like we can go all "Trail of Tears" on their A**ess and drive them into no mans land, like "the good old days"... RIGHT ? ... Ahh, so many problems.. Logistics, and all that... SO, I'm Serious now.. what would YOU propose WE do with all the Humans YOU don't want ???

how can he represent the law when before he gets started HE IS BREAKING THE LAW ! Our country has fallen down a dark path...

Hospitals broke---------------illegals

states cant balance budgets---------illegals

8.8 billion in bogus tax returns-----illegals

Just like many of us our ancesters came here and checked in and got a number and were on there way, most hard working mexicans follow the procedure and get there citizenship and love it here and then there is THOSE LINE CUTTING CHEATERS WHO WANT ALL THAT WE OFFER HERE BUT DONT WANT TO PUT IN THE EFFORT TO BE A U.S. CITIZEN, INSTEAD THEY WANT TO BILK OUR SYSTEMS AND OVERBURDEN TAXPAYERS TO GET FREE SERVICE AND A WAY OF LIFE..THESE ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO BE ROUNDED UP AND DEPORTED DEEP INTO MEXICO AND PUSHED OUT A PLANE !!!!!!

You lost the argument as soon as you mentioned the words Europe (we are NOT Europe), racism, Nazi, 'red shirt' and all the other yes stupid, things you mentioned. All WITHOUT refuting ONE WORD I wrote. Bravo, however, deflection doesn't work any better than crying 'racism' does...

'Humans you don't want'...

How about deporting them? They don't belong here, they are not 'our' problem (and before you cry 'breaking up the family') taking their anchor babies with them. How about closing 'that' loop hole while we're at it? How about they go home and clean up their own messes? As long as we have unemployed and people on welfare, WE DON'T NEED ILLEGALS.

Jean 3392470 - Agreed (reluctantly.. cautiously?... lol) if America is still the place that stands by the poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty- (partial quote)

"""Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!""

(Pretty cool huh! i have not read that since i was a kid)

i think that with the Exception of Hard Criminals, we must still Honor our own history (not everybody's great great grandparents went through immigration... not mine anyway... lol ) and give a chance to everybody who is willing to contribute to our society, and yes i know they might initially need a "hand out" in order to get a "Hand up" (not necessarily though, some have family to help them) but i think we can manage to get the ball rolling for those who want to be Americans,.. like we are. my people are from IRELAND.. the Rabble.. lol. Fine Folks, but Rough around the Edges at first. but hey we are part of the American Dream now ! and its not too bad .. Do we still need better Border Security ? HECK YES ! as well as Immigration reform. but for now we must deal with those that are here, with the spirit of those who came before us... just sayin'

Ha! Illegals aren't the major reason for our economic woes. There are plenty of loser Americans out there who use the ER for regular doctor visits, know the ins and outs of getting WIC and food stamps, all the while never intending on finishing high school or getting a job. Not that the life of welfare is a luxurious one; but they know no different. Too bad this guy actually wants to make something of himself. And my ancestor's (at least on my mom's side) land was stolen by the first settlers coming through Massachusetts, and it's some pretty shoreside land too :(

Angela LD- BOY, you are one Hostile Curmudgeon.... lol, settle down, i never said a word about anchor babies, i personally think the anchor babies policy is pure BS.

And Hon, I am not arguing with you, so don't get your panties all in a bunch. i did not intend to win or lose anything, and why do you think we are in a competition ? this isn't High School Debating... did you take your medication Today? i did not mention anything about your previous post except the quote i posted, it was about your snotty arrogant attitude, having the nerve to act as if YOU are better educated and somehow so much more qualified than commenter's you call "stupid"

and i Think its Totally obvious that i was sarcastically Joking about "Red Shirts" to bring home a point, and i was serious when i ask the question what you would do with all of them... there are Millions of them.. WHY did i ask the Question, because of this comment where you thought you spoke for everybody-

""I think I speak for EVERYONE who is against illegal aliens that none of us care what race, creed, color, nationality, sexual persuasion or religion illegals are, we just want them OUT!""

so it was a Fair Question, which i guess you think "just Deporting them" is the simple and inexpensive policy, that you see being implemented... and thats FINE.. you did not have to SH*t yourself just to answer the question. and Hon, you are wasting your psychotic Anger on me, getting angry at people because you do not agree with the way they see things, does not add to the discussion, or make folks like me the Slightest bit upset... i would have to know you, and i still dont think i would get Angry. and acting like you do, only makes you a Total B****.

Have A Wonderful Night.

American Socialist: No they went south from Canada then joined the Americans and fought for this countries freedom.

Now there is something I would support. Soldiers in US forces who are not citizens should made citizens at the end of their enlistment. Plus their IMMEDIATE family.

A illegal that took a legals slot in University ??, not so much.

Angela LD

i read walkingeagles post, and then i started reading your other post. do even take a second to read and process what other commenter's post?

walkingeagle actually agreed with you about Xenophobia, and mentioned it was probably the same in Europe, but not as obvious because they have better control over immigration. and by agreeing with you, "You lost the argument as soon as you mentioned the words Europe" (Umm ok?)

and to me it looks like his sarcasm about the red shirts, was to find out how you would round up millions of illegals and get them home, and how the U.S. Can do it in a affordable way.

you seem to have an incredible sense of entitlement, perhaps you are a Native American?. its a shame you have no acceptance or willingness to consider circumstance, in the plight of others. i hope you need some understanding or help from others someday, perhaps you would find some depth of character after all.

one thing for sure, the Hostility you display is uncalled for, you are Spoiled, unkind, and undeservedly arrogant. but that is not unusual around here, but you said you are a Nurse? that's reassuring.

please quit acting like you deserve something that you do not even Honor or understand, and get help with your problem. you need a Twelve Step Group to help you feel Empathy and shrink your bloated attitude back down to size.

good day.

What about the word "illegal" in the phrase "illegal immigrant" do these people not understand? They should get him and his parents and make them get in line and apply to become citizens the proper way. Until then, go back and live in Mexico. I hope the court does the right thing, because REAL Americans have been wronged. What about the student that was denied admission to college because this illegal alien WRONGLY took his or her place? What about the REAL American that applied to the same law school, but was denied because this illegal alien WRONGLY took his or her spot? What about the REAL American that didn't get a job because this illegal alien took that spot? Oh, and the last thing we need is another lawyer, illegal alien or not.

Why is this tolerated in the United States when it is not tolerated at all in any other country? Its deplorable. If an American did this crap in Mexico they would wind up in a Mexican prison for several years. We are in an all-out INVASION by Mexicans and other Latinos from South America. They all want to live here and don't give a damn about our immigration laws.

Hey, American Socialist - why dont you just call yourself what you really are - a DEMOCRAT.

Having practiced law for 18 years -- including a federal court clerkship -- I'm certain Mr. Godinez-Samperio is equally fit to the sheep-skinned poseurs, pretenders, pontificators and pettifoggers presently holding forth at the rate of $200+ an hour. That is, if they're not holding elected office or running for election.

And he's probably much better suited to actually represent others. I just hope he knows what he's getting into. I made my escape.

So, we want to place the law in the hands of someone that... is currently breaking the law by being here. What the hell? Why are these illegals coming out in droves, laughing in the face of the rules over here? Almost everytime you turn on the TV, you get some new story about an illegal that's doing something with their life... rather than DEPORTING THE PERSON LIKE THE FEDERAL LAW SAYS TO DO!

I think it's great a lot of them reach for the stars, but there are plenty of American kids doing the same. Why are there no stories on these adopted kids, or these street kids that came to prominence through sheer work and struggle? You never hear about them, all we get now is news stories trying to push illegals on us, telling us how great these few are. "Oh we'd lose these amazing people if we enforced the border laws!".

EVERY. COUNTRY. HAS. BORDER. LAWS. This is why they're called CITIZENS. We're not EVIL for enforcing them, they're there for a reason. They HAVE uses. Are we even FORGETTING that most of these illegals commit ID Theft so they can get around, like getting a license and getting a job? Seriously, stop trying to show me how amazing these people are. I know they're great! We have great people like them as CITIZENS too! Show THEM! Show us the AMERICAN DREAM through AMERICAN CITIZENS!

Democrat, that's the best you can come up with? That's how you define someones views? I can think of a few, not involving any political party, and completely intone with the aggressive rejection & anger, so many are showing towards Jose for his great accomplishments. Toss up illegal immigrant, and every ones panties get in a bunch. What about unethical, arrogant, self righteous, irrational, egotistical, immoral, inhumane & just plain hateful? Would that be a definition of what myself, a Democrat, would think of a Republican? Nope, all those other thoughts come to mind, nothing else.

"Jose Godínez-Samperio learned English in a year and became an honors student, an Eagle Scout, valedictorian of his high school and winner of a scholarship to study anthropology at a university." He did this all as a illegal alien, which I prefer undocumented immigrant."

"His mother and father brought him to the US in 1996. They entered legally on a tourist visa, then overstayed, settling outside Tampa. They had been professional people back in Mexico, a dentist and a veterinarian, but that didn't mean they earned enough to feed their family. Godínez-Samperio says his parents were "escaping economic disaster". He was nine years old." Which was referred to as the Mexican Peso Crisis (1994). Clinton loaned 20 billion to Mexico, and after the crisis, the US profited 500 million.

So the message you want the United States to send to children of undocumented immigrants, is no matter how hard you work towards becoming a productive individual to a society, you are a worthless human being because their parents stepped on American soil without asking permission. Obama has deported more undocumented immigrants then any other president in history, but some how others refer to him as lax on the issue. His message, for the haters, mostly appears as a political front for Hispanics due to the Dream Act. And I suppose the Health Care Act, was a political front too? What about Iraqi Freedom? How much did that cost us, and still costing us? Humane positions cost money, our pockets are running thin, and now, Americans are sounding like a whole bunch of haters, nickel & dime the issues. Blaming every one else for the recession, except the largest contributors....Its the Illegals fault.. No, No wait, the poor people did this. No man, it was the flying elephants with the pink ears.... Maybe I'm a dreamer, but it would be great for this country to come together as a nation, & try moving past the blame game. Right now we just look like a whole bunch of babbling idiots, without a pot to piss in.

"It takes a lifetime to build a man up, and a day to knock him down."

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing."

I find one of the criteria interesting

or been honorably discharged from the US Armed Forces or the Coast Guard

No illegal can meet this criteria as illegals or "undocumented immigrants" can enlist in our military. Non-citizens must have a "green card" to enlist.

I find myself wondering how much illegally obtained public assistance, grant and scholarship money went into their educations? All of which should have weighed in on his "Moral Fitness" considerations. He clearly knew of his illegal status, as has done nothing to change it. So he "knowingly and willing" defrauded the public each time he sought and obtained public monies to further his education, as these funds are not available to foreign nationals with illegal status.

How can he pass a moral fitness exam if his whole life is a lie and he knowingly and willing defrauded the public on countless scholarship, Pell grant and student loan applications to get this education? Or, is it his parents are wealthy and paid it all themselves? If so, Where does this income stream originate? One of the Mexican cartels?

I thought the shrill cry was that they only take the jobs American citizens don't want? Lawyer,,,,,, seems a bit above the minimum wage jobs the left claims they take. How many U.S. Nationals would like to join that income bracket but are denied entrance into college because of foreign nationals taking up the seats? Seems there is more investigation to be done concerning these foreign nationals. Too many unanswered questions regarding how they obtained their education and the fundu=ing for it.

Securitized IS a word you moron, American Socialist. . . it means to back up a promise with security.

As is a mortgage is securitized with a lien on the real estate

A pledge of stock for a loan, is securitized by presenting the shares to someone for safekeeping.

A loan is securitized by a security interest in some tangible thing.

It does not MATTER that the guy has been waiting for 18 years - he is not legal to work in the US. What is he going to do? Get a law license hang a shingle and work for free? It is illegal for him to work here. End of story. What good is a law license?

What he needs to do is a) get a job, then b) go back to Mexico, and c) apply for resident alien work visa on the basis of the job. As a lawyer, it will go through like crap through a goose. All his employer has to do is say they have looked for someone with his qualifications and cannot find them - he gets a work visa. He comes here legally, fills out the rest of the form, gets his law license and goes to work.

I'm not seeing the major problem here - I do know a thing or three about immigration law .

Nope, will never 'accept' illegal aliens in the United States as 'American' citizens, ever.

Yes, why didn't that nine year old apply for citizenship? What was he thinking? Oh, right...probably the the Power Rangers are cool and he'd like to get a bicycle for his birthday...

What stopped him at 18, 19, 20, etc.?

At what point did he begin his criminal activity?

Did he drive a car at 16, did he have a license, insurance? Does he now? Did he use the emergency rooms for health care? Does he now? If so, did he pay for that care, or leave it up to the taxpayers? When did he 'discover' he was illegal, what exactly did he do about it? He went to college, did he lie on his application (I bet he did)? How about when he obtained his financial aid? Did he lie to obtain money fraudulently (I bet he did)? Did he/does he work (I bet he did/does), something which he is NOT entitled to do.

Get real, there is not defense to this guys behavior. He IS the criminal, you know it, and so does he.

Yeah, the British were LEGAL aliens, right?

honor, you know of course that I was speaking about the first settlers... who of course did not settle legally.

I think any red blooded American should DEPORT every one of you ignorant "American wanna be's" back to your parents homeland. Every American Indian should DEMAND idiots like yourself to be sent wherever it was your forefathers came from. What in hell gives YOU the authority to demand ANYONE be deported? Stupidity is surly your greatest attribute. ON THE SUBJECT, since when does any lawyer need MORALS? When a lawyer defends a KNOWN CROOK, KILLER, FINANCIAL FRAUD, MEDICAL MALPRACTICE SUIT THEY DO NOT HAVE MORALS, and should not be afforded respect in any society. Meanwhile GRT5, og spruce up on your NEW language, WE DO NOT WANT YOU HERE, SO LEAVE ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!~~~~

awesoneray4usa, I was thinking the SAME thing. All us "Americans" are immigrants but the Native Americans... And Lawyers have NO MORALS. Just $$$$ on the mind....

Ahem 'ray4ausa' ...

Your comment "What in hell gives YOU the authority"

My answer "You lost the war".

Not immigrants, just the victorious.

I am not crowing or whatever just stating the facts. No disrespect intended.

BTW ray4usa, I also happen to be a real native American. My ancestors were here before Columbus got here. We have laws in this country on immigration and they should be respected, if not, why have laws on anything?

I don't understand how he was accepted into College, much less Law School without showing proof of citizenship. I would be curious to see his college/law school applications, wouldn't you? Also, how much financial aid did this guy use? Again, no proof of citizenship whilst applying for that either?...

When I went to school to become a nurse, the first thing I had to prove was that I was a high school graduate and an American Citizen. Else they would not have accepted my petition to enroll in the program.

true that. loan sharks want your SS and residency address and all those goods. How can he afford law school without loans??? That's 250k for 3 years of uselessness!

Hell, he's morally fit to be president. At least these days he is.

He wasn't born in the US and thus cannot be President. Even Arnold the Governator doesn't qualify for the office. Now, if he was only Cuban, then Florida would walk through his residency papers ASAP.

mike430: Cubans have only to set foot on US land to stay.

But that will never rectify us leaving them hanging at the Bay of Pigs.

We blinked, their people died , or spent decades in horrible prison environments.

Let's just treat Mr. Godinez-Samperio like Mexico treats their illegal aliens. Their immigration laws are stricter than ours.

Better schedule a Constitutional Convention then.

Mike...I have been advocating a CC for decades - the electorate is too lazy.

So am I.

Why cant this guy get a law degree? Heck, an illegal immigrant should be able to be whatever they want to be, including being the President. Wait...that job has already taken by an illegal immigrant.

Terrorists becoming pilots...only in Bush's America. I am truly disgusted.

Hey Multiplayer............the only reason those guys got away with it was because all the politically correct democrats and ACLU types wouldn't allow profiling.

Oh that old ACLU talking point. I almost forgot about that one.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! Illegals becoming lawyers...only in Obama's America. I am truly disgusted.

Good. More power to him.

You are as bad because you quickly make accusations as if Obama has something to do with it. Obama has deported more illegals in 3 years than Bush did in 8 years. You need to get educated on the truth and facts.

Winker, Of all the illegals he's deported how many do you think came right back? If you guessed ALL OF THEM you'd be more right than not. With the border being wide open, nothing is stopping them.

Winker -

Are you still repeating that leftist talking point? Do the research. It is based on a "new" way to count - anyone stopped at the border checkpoints now get counted as if they were deported. geez!

Winker.....you liberals are all the same....Obama this and Obama that....beating the 'Obama has done better than Bush did' drum. Obama is praying that the illegals vote for him. That's the only way he will win re-election. The illegals will be able to vote because the liberals are suing every state that is attempting to have voter ID required. The liberals cry the same old song that the minorities will be intimidated and not go to vote. The intimidation angle is not the reason, the reason the liberals are suing states at every opportunity is they need the illegal vote to win. Plain and simple.

Angela -

you're a Real TREASURE. and you are a Nurse? ha ! i guess even a nurse can act like a obnoxious tw*t.

Winker - Thanks for posting FACTS. I appreciate those who don't just spin everything their way.

Sgt Stryker -

oh geez, you're funny. you said "" Obama this and Obama that....beating the 'Obama has done better than Bush did' drum""

yeah... THAT Tired old drum, i can only imagine how scathing that must be... the Truth is usually no fun at all, especially when you have keep constantly being reminded what a inept, Buffoon Bush was. let face it, he made it easy for President Obama to get Elected. and Quite Frankly most of us were just cringing, Hoping to God ! Bush would not say something Remarkably Stupid when he would make a Diplomatic visit to a Foreign country.. with the cameras rolling and everybody watching. Thank God we Had Diamond Dick Cheney to keep Bush in check.. wow !

but, on the other hand i'm Definitely with you on the Voter I.D. Issue, EVERY State needs to have it.

that being Said, Republicans PURGING the VOTER ROLLS in Florida, without leaving enough time for a Recheck, is just Bush Era Ballsy... i mean seriously ?, Got to Give credit where credit is do.. Right ?

well,.. Have a Better Day !

What part of illegal, doesn't anyone understand.

You don't, apparently. You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means.

illegal immigrant n. an alien (non-citizen) who has entered the United States without government permission or stayed beyond the termination date of a visa.

Hope this clears up your confusion Byron

Ken, maybe if we replaced the word IRONIC with MORONIC, we would have a clearer description of our current policies on illegal immigration.

James Lee - Excellent observation !.. and Seconded.

The typical immigration laws don't apply to Cubans in Florida; maybe Florida mixed up Mexico with Cuba.

We HAVE immigration laws, so that the Democrats can claim they HAVE such laws, so that Republicans cant argue that Dems dont care about legal immigration.

We dont ENFORCE them, so that the Latino power base may continue to support the Dems who dont enforce immigration rules.

We let baby killers like Casey Anthony go free too. But get caught with traces of marijuana in your ashtray and you're looking at 16 years in prison.

Since when has a lawyer ever upheld our laws?

Uh..."Udonnobro" -

LAWYERS did not set Casey free - a JURY did that.

The State Supreme Court has to rule on actual admission to practice which is the case in most states.

Correct - he'll have to hang a shingle and be a sole practitioner.

Only the Democrats, Curt, only the Democrats!
