Re: Local immigrants' rights activist faces deportation; turns to refuge in church

This is the truth. I am sorry, but I cannot have sympathy for illegal immigrants. I have lived in SEVEN countries (I just moved to Brasil; I am French-Canadian), I played by the rules and learned the languages of all the countries in which I resided. While I have no problem with illegal immigrants per se, they must realize that there are consequences for being illegal. As much as they claim to "help" the U.S. economy, the fact is, they are not legal. There are millions of people who want to come to the U.S. legally and are denied. If you sneak in through illegal means, be prepared to live with the consequences. First of all, apparently your illegal lifestyle is still preferable to the third-world hell of your homelands or else you'd never spend your savings and undergo horrid travel conditions to break into the U.S. While you are here, apply for student status and learn English. I was SO SICK of having to speak Spanish to people too lazy to learn the language of the country in which they are making money. Talk about disrespect! For any illegals to demand regularization I say this: fill out the paperwork and wait your turn just like everyone else. If you don't, tough luck.
