These kids and young adults, who are American in the truest sense of the word, don't deserve this. It's less than a 100,000 people we're talking about. It should be done as quickly as possible considering there's an age cap. Why not just the DREAM Act then?

And that we should limit our incoming immigrants (LEGAL) to one million per year. Any others, when discovered, should be deported along with their kids so as to keep the families together. But then, I can't imagine a parent leaving a kid behind and then cry they're being persecuted. And that includes the Irish and others as well. I’m only talking about LEGAL and ILLEGAL.

It is ironic that in your last comment you bring up the Irish because they were demonized much like Latinos are today. I wonder if you complain about all of the Irish American societies and traditions that are established throughout the US, especially in places like Boston. They too have their own entities: http://www.aihs.org/ http://www.iabany.org/ http://www.irishap.org/ http://www.sbias.com/ Goodbye Johnny.

You seem particularly moronic. Try studying a bit about the Irish and you will find a great deal of sacrifice. "Back then the system was rigged in your favor". A prime example of studity Anna. Anna,

You don't have a chip on your shoulder you have an ego that is gigantic. You seem very impressed with yourself. You missed my point. And successfully dodged another question. And you should re-read your post before you lecture others or grammar and spelling. This blog is what I thought it was in the beginning. A waste of time. You offer up opinions and never answer any of the questions. I leave you to your racial bigotry and your ethno-centric mission. Adios! I stand corrected Michaelr.

I'm tired of these trolls who come in here to lecture us on what it means to be an American, never guessing that in many cases our families have been here longer than theirs. Why don't these fools get a life?! And isn't it funny how he says that nobody helped his family when they came here. They had the law to protect them. When my grandparents were growing up in Texas and Kansas in the 1920s and 1930s there were no laws protecting them. People could (and did) steal their land, inflict violence upon them, deny them access to education, employment, healthcare, voting, etc. And yes, Michael, they seem to discover that we're American when it's time to fight the wars, or when they need our votes, but when it's time to write the history books or make the WWII documentaries, amnesia sets in. Ask Ken Burns. So give me a a break Johnny Dilznick You need to study some history. Back then the system was rigged in your favor, so don't give us lectures about bootstraps. Our ancestors worked hard too, only to have other people profit from their sweat. And what do you care about MALDEF or NCLR? As long as discrimination exists, there will be Civil Rights organizations. Get over it. Michaelr: You’re right.

Your bigotry conveys itself thoroughly throughout your vernacular. And who says MALDEF, LULAC, or NCLR helps the Latino Community? They are a part of the Latino political community, who’s only focus throughout the last twenty years, is helping themselves. Then again, that issue and most of the other issues written about on this blog may be too complicated for you to even comprehend. But you just can’t resist spewing your racial hatred online…can't you? JohnnyDilznik…then you need to go back to college and learn the rules of conveying oneself in American English.

For me I will take the two brave men who put on a uniform everyday and attempted with no support from most of the government to protect us all. You truly disgust me.

You know nothing about me. And I have served this country and my community alongside some of the finest "latinos" to wear a uniform. I never judged them by the color of their skin. You and many others see nothing but a "gabacho" is it when you look at me? So get your story straight and answer my question or don't. You seem to have a massive inferiortiy complex based on that rambling answer. BTW I hate Limbaugh and my education shelf is very full. Keep up your BS and I doubt you will ever be judged by anything else. Working in East LA allows me to see everyday many who have nothing but contempt for this nation. That isn't speculation I see it everyday. My immigrant grandparents came here with nothing. Had no ACLU or MALDEF, LULAC or LA RAZA to help them. Embraced the US and made it their own country. Not an extension of a place they left. Jesus! I just read your post again and if anyone is a race baiter it is you sir. "You will sleep with our wives and sisters"? Wow! Should we all just stay with our "own kind"? Nice. You really need help. Michaelr,
