Illegals appointed to government positions.

The one car that I had stolen was found in this shithole stripped. Over 50% are foreign born and 95% speak Spanish at home. CA grants them professional licenses, drivers license, and now they can be appointed to government positions. Can’t wait until we see the first one appointed to be a judge or something, but I guess CA will save money since they will do it for less or free.

As long as they are advisory, I do not see the issue.

The state nor the Feds prohibit such.

But it does show the failure of the feds to enforce Federal law :thumbsdown:

Well we talk about how the best way to stop the problem of illegal immigration is to go after the employers. When the state starts employing them it gets kind of hard to blame companies.

Are the illegals leaving? No?
Then they are part of this country.

It is our duty to provide the people of this country a voice in their own government.

I'm not sure I'd say they are being "employed" by the city. According to the article, the committees on which these men will serve generally get a stipend in the $25-75/month range. Because of their status, however, they will not be paid this stipend. Still, this whole story only highlights the fact our immigration system is broken.

It highlights that due to our open border we have lost our national sovereignty.

Don't sweat it Linda, they'll be voting real soon.

i have known quite a few illegals over the years and can say with 100% certainty that not a single one of them came here because of an "open border". in fact, every single one arrived in this country legally and lost that status for various reasons. they were also hard workers, went to school, owned houses and were functioning members of our society, more so than many US born citizens.

They both “worked on” councilman Pineda’s election campaign.

Nice try to spin (various reasons). LOL.

When you applied for a visa to visit/work/study in a country, you MUST leave that country if/when your visa expired. No exception. Why bother to have immigration rule and regulation if certain group feel like they do not want to follow those rules/regulations.

So Asians are smart and hard working, is it ok for them to break rule/law? Try to use that line "but..but..but we were legal but we lost that status for various reasons, your honor" in Mexico or any other sovereign nations on Earth and see how that turns out for you.

LEGALS = si, ILLEGALS = no.

i never mentioned Asians, and none of the illegals i have known in the past were Asian. since you want specifics, one was an Italian who got screwed by an American lawyer who ripped him off and stole his money. another was a Kenyan who had to work full time in order to live and lost their status because they didn't have enough school hours for a short period of time. i haven't even mentioned illegals who were brought here as children and who only know life as an American, such as the one mentioned in the OPs story.

I mentioned Asians because in your previous post, you stated the ILLEGALS that you know are "hard workers, went to school, owned houses and were functioning members" as those good quantities are somehow become green lights for them ILLEGALS to break immigration laws. So by the same logic, Asian are hard workers, smart, own houses and businesses, good members in their neighborhood, therefore, is it ok for Asians or Europeans/Africans/<fill in the blank group> to break immigration law if they were here ILLEGALLY but they are hard workers and smart, own houses, etc.?

I will repeat these two sentence from my previous post. Very simple to understand.

Why bother to have immigration rule and regulation if certain group feel like they do not want to follow those rules/regulations.

Try to use that line "but..but..but we were legal but we lost that status for various reasons, your honor" in Mexico or any other sovereign nations on Earth and see how that turns out for you.

Are those two sentences wrong or right? Yes or No.

That's a very interesting viewpoint. Can't say I agree with it. If you can't follow the laws to enter and remain in the country, why exactly should you have any say in creating or modifying or upholding the laws you choose not to follow?

 

[Newell Steamer]

Well, we hired this illegal, didn't we now?

Maybe in your experience... but there still is an open border, little enforcement, and large numbers of people coming into the country illegally because nothing is stopping them from doing it.

 

[FelixDeCat]

We need to curtail illegal immigration and protect our borders.

 

[WackyDan]

Yes employers and anchor babies.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/illegal-immigrant-births-at-your-expense/

Thousands upon thousands of illegals have babies here... At taxpayer expense. THe baby then gets to collect welfare benefits paid to their guardians regardless of citizenship.

It is a problem.

 

[nixium]

You guys have already lost the war, these things are little things to be worried about. Children of 12-18 million illegals are going to vote for comprehensive amnesty for their parents eventually. Secure borders? LOL forget about it.

The real question is, have you guys started learning Spanish?

The only hope is that the children naturalize enough to maintain USA traditions and ethics and not the third world ethics of their parents.

All this, in the meantime legal immigrants wait 5-10 years, pay $$$ in fees, and go through things like their children "aging out" and having to get a visa to stay in the US while illegal kids get DACA, financial aid, etc.

I was out working in my yard today when I noticed that I could hear Mexicans in the distance.

They were hammering on a home construction project about a quarter of a mile away. :biggrin:

and I'll bet they voted for the obama.

No, they are not. They are criminals. Their government is in the country from which they came.

They most certainly should not be appointed to ANY Government position. None.

Then they should leave and correct their illegal status and come back properly. It is the right thing to do.

That way they would not be breaking the law.

They should also do away with the anchor baby crap.
