Host of Ensign fundraiser is fighting deportation.

Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), “who backs stricter controls on illegal immigration, was to raise money Monday in Miami at the home of a Peruvian woman who pleaded guilty a decade ago to passport fraud and is fighting for the right to stay in the country. The fundraiser for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which Ensign chairs, comes at a time when undocumented immigrants across the country live in fear of what they say are stepped-up orders to deport those here illegally.”

    Republicans: “We fight illegal immigration by inviting as many illegal immigrants into the US as possible and hiring them to clean our houses and raise funds for us.”

    Let us all hope Ensign goes to Peru with her.

    I hear Llama is good this time of year.

    Ahhh, a trek in the Andes with a warm fuzzy Llama; does wonders for the soul and it’s so cheap to travel here!

    Republicans:

    Rabidly fighting the illegal immigration they have no use for -unlike their fundraisers, and assorted “masseuses”.

    In other news today,

    ‘Big Dick Cheney’ sure likes his ‘Ho’s.

    Does the madam have to include a Dr., oxygen tanks, anti-clotting agents, a J. Edgar Hoover favorite dress and Patrick 1 to cheer him on?

    just say’n…

    No, no, she’s not illegal, she’s giving a good kickback to the Republicans’ cause, can’t be illegal.

    “Living in Fear” not so much…

    My step-dad and bro are in the border patrol down in San Deigo. They tell me that the same illgeal aliens get captured twice in a 12 hours period sometimes. It’s try, try again for these guys.

    It’s so easy to get over the border, they barely have to be out in the field for two or three before they have captured so many individuals that they’ll spend the remaining hours of their shift and then some, processing paperwork.

    It’s little more than an inconvenience for these individuals to get back into the country. I’ve read in northern areas , they’ll just turn themselves in at the end of the season for a “free” ride home. It really bugs me.

    You mean Senator Ensign (R-Vidal Sassoon) actually does something besides golf during Senate hours?

    retard, i mean Tau….I never said anything about Republicans kid….I just said, if you knew how to read and comprehend I would not have to repeat myself……that we Latinos do not need the Democrats, Liberals and the Democratic Party to help us. We can do it on our own, we don’t need quotas, special scholarships, preference, or race based policies, like Affermative Action in order to make it in the world.

    Tau, you and your Liberals who carry the Great White Guilt can shove your guilt up where the sun don’t shine. We Lations don’t need you or your buddies to safe us. Your help is neither wanted or cared for. Latinos are not your pet projects that you can use to feel better about yourself or what you think your ancestors did to any minority.

    I am a democrat, and I also know this people personally. I know the whole real story, and what i see that the Republican party might be doing wrong. These people are really example citizens, entrepeneurs and real republicans; trying to give to the community what god has given to them. And while many people have problems, poverty, suffering, they have also shared their part, and like many illegals before that became americans and people swimming to our shores become americans (many times non-deserving) and long after we are gone, foreigners will become americans. I believe that as long as they are good people, example citizens and want the best for our Country that is what matters
