Yup. And him too. He should maybe be pissed as well.

Most Latin Americans were not in favor of those demonstrations. FWIW

I guess it's the lack of outcry from the right people that make it seem that way. We're so agraid to say something for fear of being labeled a hater or racist.

Can't argue with that, but deal with the more immediate problem with a strong sense of urgency WHILE dealing with the other too.

I'm for states rights. If Bama wants to open it's self up to that, that's our business I guess.

I also had a roommate in college that was a Canadian citizen but had served 3 years as an infantryman in the US Army.

Cool.

I disagree.

Not as long as the Feds keep handing money out. Stop the handouts and people will take them.

Illegals can get drivers licenses? When did THIS happen?

Alabama is also VERY right wing. VERY Republican and tries to be VERY pro-active. WE want this. WE as in the citizens of Alabama.
