  • Postville Iowa didn't have enough supporters around Iowa so they had to bus them in from other sanctuary cities! These illegal aliens should take to the streets in their own countries and demand reform instead of coming here to demand we turn our country into a third world cesspool! All criminals live in fear of getting caught!
  • To Sonja: You are so right, again. Have nothing to say. You have said it all.
  • Wow, that's so sad that you think that people from Guatemala are turning our country into a cesspool!!!! We have done a pretty darn good job of that on our own destroying the environment, neglecting our own infrastructure and watching as economic policies from Reagan to today have increased poverty and reduced economic security down to its minimum. Clinton's NAFTA took years of exploitation and made it law. We have also had a huge part in the policies and practices that led to the destruction of the Guatemalan's indigenous culture and economy, just like we did here to our native peoples. That's awesome that you think they should demand reform in their own country -- as we should here of ours. No person is illegal, and human rights must apply to all humans or we've lost any moral compass we could ever hope to have. I'm so sorry I read your comment, Sonja, but feel slightly better having responded to it. Have a great day. You too Suzie.
