		<description>I would like to point out that Arthur Mikoyan is not illegal yet.  His parents have work visas and his younger brother is a citizen.  If sent back to Armenia, Arthur would be forced to serve in the army and would be ridiculed for having lived in America.  His father would probably be killed by the mafia.  His father originally fled Armenia to escape persecution and the corruption.  

Legal aliens should be given priortiy over illegals because they respected our laws.

While the termonology &quot;illegal alien&quot; is a more recent one, the idea has been around for over 100 years when the US first introduced immigration laws and quotas.</description>

		<description>To Arthur Mikoyan, I am deeply sorry and ashamed that the people running my country are offending you this way.  Honestly, you deserve to be governed by a better administration but unfortunately we don&#039;t have one.  They aren&#039;t worth the gum under your shoe.</description>

		<description>And then Roger said:

&quot;I’m sorry if you feel that somehow this kid deserves a break from the law, but unless the DREAM act was passed, he is an illegal immigrant like any other.

and to be fair, security for guarding against illegal immigration does arguable erode civil iberites….so I guess I meant what I said actually.&quot;

This kind of shit really pisses me off.

So rogers is smug in his defense of the Nazi tactics adopted by the GOP which is presided over by the grandson of a Nazi financier (Prescott Bush, who failed in his attempt to overthrow the Federal Gov&#039;t back in the &#039;30s and refused to stop backing the Nazis even after the war started).

rogers says he&#039;s fine without any civil liberties, as long as his Nazi-loving GOP can deport children to strange lands.

Slavish devotion to Authority, no matter how obviously, blatantly wrong and inhumane, is a necessity to be a GOP 4$$hole.  This is the result of Acting-President Reagan&#039;s Zero Tolerance policies (enacted by the Nazi&#039;s son George Bush Sr, a Nazi-lover himself).  

The GOP leadership loves to destroy the lives of children, especially those that had no choice when they were brought here, by forcibly kidnapping them and dumping them in the streets of a foreign country where they don&#039;t even speak the language and know no one.  (For more examples of how the GOP/Nazi Party loves to kill children see the Iraq Occupation - Why else have they sent our troops to Iraq to murder women and children?)

Yes, this kid deserves a break from this law.  In a land of Free and Just peoples, this law would never have even been written, or if it had, a real Supreme Court would have nullified it immediately for being Anti-American, UnConstitutional, insane and stupid.

But since the GOP is run by the grandson of a Nazi, it is unsurprising that Republicans get horny by writing inhumane legislation like this and that it&#039;s upheld by the extreme right, anti-freedom judges appointed by the Republican-Nazis of today.

I am sick and tired of the children of the Republicans killing this once-great country.</description>

		<description>Absolutely tragic.  

This spits upon the long, healthy, well-established ideals of America.  You know, America, the melting pot?  America, home of immigrants from around he world?  The land of opportunity?  The place where everyone can succeed if they have the drive, know-how, and ambition to do so?

Yeah, not so much anymore, now that the corporations have control over enormous portions of our government, our policy, and our personal lives.  Now, competition is stifled in favor of monopolies and oligopolies, and too few seems to give a damn that this is undermines We the People in ways devastating to the majority.  This is blatant class warfare, and the war against immigrants is part and parcel of the undermining of the influence We the People have over our government.  We are, all of us, children of immigrants.  Even the Native Americans migrated here from numerous previous civilizations, in the earliest parts of this great melting pot that is America.

Now, immigrant is a bad word.  Just as progressive, liberal, and countless other words with innocuous, or even noble connotations have been usurped by the Media Corporate Complex.  We need to take all of these terms and words BACK.  Immigrants are not to be shunned.  They are to be welcome, so long as they are willing to do so legally.  People brought here when they were very, very young had no choice.  This young man has long been naturalized.  He is far beyond the timeframe in which he should be allowed to gain citizenship.

We the People need to take this country back from the tiny fraction of people who control all of the resources, and most of the power.  These people care nothing for the spirit of America.  They care nothing for the ideals the Founding Fathers laid out before us.  They are vile, hateful, greedy and selfish individuals who leech off of the hard work of everyone else.  They are abusive, and we must end the abuse.  Post haste.  Else, We the People are doomed to the tragic legacy of yet another affluent empire that collapses under its own weight.</description>

		<description>Get out you poster child of what is written on the Statue of Liberty. Those words were obviously written in the 1880s by illegal immigrants, I think those French.
Sacre Bleu

WTF is wrong with this country?</description>

		<description>You have to give the trolls a bit of time to use google to try to find their talking points. They need to keep posting sludge until they can find them.  Multitasking confuses them to no end.  And that damn google keeps coming up with facts rather than talking points!  &quot;Help, Mr. Wizard!&quot;
