    Utter nonsense.

    Unless you f***ing look like this[^], you also are an illegal immigrant.

    1. There's no reason at all to cuss at me. 2) Your statement means that all American are illegal. Both comments make you unworthy of serious discussion.

    Get over it. That guy could contribute to society probably far more than you. could yourself.

    Illegal immigration costs BILLIONS - and thats the only thing this guy contributed to. Hell, his college was probably paid for by US Taxpayer dollars. Don't bother responding - I will neither read nor reply.

    If it's not broken, fix it until it is

    And so are Canadians and most latinos, even outside the US. All the Europeans did here was destroying the civilizations that were here already. Btw, California used to be in Mexico.

      You're making nonsense arguments. By the same token you might as well go all the way back to the first humans leaving Africa. And 'used to be' is the operative statement. Parts of France used to belong to the UK: does that mean we should vilify the French for taking i t back and destroying the culture that was there? You have to deal with the here and now as undoing the past is a little beyond our present abilities.

      So? You're assuming facts that you have no knowledge of. In any case, doesn't matter who paid: he had no right to be here. Perhaps you could blame the immigration system. Still doesn't matter - he's here illegally.

          That is no reason to ignore it. And we could make a better future, but that also seem to be a little beyond our present abilities (or rather willingness).

            It's not germane to the issue at hand so is irrelevant.

              So? You're both assuming facts not in evidence - you neutralize each other! :-)

                  Nonsense. Based on that one can condemn every living human because it is so unlikely that there ancestors at some time did not do something similar. And that includes the ones that you state were "already" here.

                    I am rather certain that your "better future" would not in fact be "better" for some. Further excluding the actual arrival of some other guiding intelligence (aliens from space) there is absolutely no evidence that any conscious decision made by humans will in fact lead to a "better" future. It is all random.

                      Countered the vote. A highly contentious issue. On the one hand simply granting him the licence does not mean he is free to practice as a lawyer - if he has qualified he should get it. On the other hand "Sergio Garcia, 35, of Chico, Calif., has met the rules for admission, including passing the bar exam and the moral character review, and his lack of legal status in the United States should not automatically disqualify him, the Committee of Bar Examiners said Monday." Surely, if he has no legal status he is, by definition, an illegal alien and, therefore breaking the law. Doesn't that mean he cannot have passed the moral character review? A bit confusing - what is the point of classifying millions as illegal aliens if it doesn't mean anything? Just makes a laughing stock of the law.

                      The newsreport said he was waiting for his visa. That would mean that his stay has been approved and he is waiting for his turn to come up. Each country is allotted 20,000(?) permanent visas (green cards) a year and someone from Mexico could wait his entire life not receiving one! PS. Just clarifying. Not taking a position in any way, shape or form.:rose:
