1. Have pity on the illegal. They're just trying to get by.
2. Have no pity on illegals & none on the politicians to let this travesty continue. It's just one of a million reasons the borders should be shut, illegals rounded up & deported. & send a bill to Mexico for the detention & transport.
3. When I was 5 months pregnant my husband and I were hit by an illegal immigrant who was drunk. He didn't even know he had hit us and tried to drive away, but his car was stuck to ours. He was with another person. When the police showed up the friend was trying to say he was the one driving, then when we told them that it was the other guy driving he gave the police several fake names. Meanwhile I ended up going into early labor and had to be taken to the hospital where they gave me medication to stop my labor. One of the officers there that night lived near my dad, I asked him awhile later what happened to the guy, he said they didn't even hold a trial and he was deported. When an illegal immigrant commits a crime they should automatically be deported.
4. It makes one wonder how fast the liberals would change their stance on illegal aliens if one of their family, or loved ones where to suffer at the hands of an illegal? It's all fun, and games till someone gets killed.
