Mr Quigly, Why did Loranzo-Desimian have three [3] children while she was here on a work visa? Does she have a husband? With all things considered, she is here as an illegal alien. We have millions of them here, and they are ruining our economy.
It would be the same if she was the wife of the Mexican President. and the "Anchor baby" law is as stupid as most of our politicians in Washington.
You cry-babies are NOT Americans, You look for some tiny, insignificant item to scream about just to get attention. Arizona is in the right, they are drowning in illegals, many of which are criminals. Let us do away with them all. and the sooner the better.

What do you not understand about being here illegal. Who cares if you were picked up and booked for any other crime. She overstayed her visa and should have left the county.

I would also suggest we do away with the citizenship based on being born in the US, unless your parents are also citizens. We are one of the only nations still allow this farce to occur.

The skewed and highly suspect "morality" of those who have been brainwashed by patriarchal dominator religions is on full display here today in our comments. I know that the control freaks in our midst like to have nice, neat, tidy borders, distinct roles for men and women where women are powerless and must depend on men, and a racial hierarchy with white folks at the top. It must frustrate you all terribly that you just can't get anyone with a real conscience to go along with your fake morality anymore.

Sorry, but all Illegal:

If you can find people who will do the jobs that the illegals are doing in the fields right now then your comment has merit... I don't think you want to pay the resulting food price increases or work in the fields for the wages that are payed for those jobs. Talk about wrecking the economy tsk tsk

We all should realize that the whole issue is more complicated than any want to admit.. especially the politicians who want to get elected by pretending to be on one side or the other.

I am sorry but we have laws on how to enter this country and if you choose to sneak in illegally you should be thrown out. The laws should be changed as far as those anchor babies are concerned as well. The tax payers are the ones who end up supporting these brats. It is time we stand up and don't let these hispanics run this country. It is clear that they want to make it over into a third world country like they come from. They don't obey the laws, they are always waiting for handouts and I am sick and tired of it. I acknowledge that there are certainly illegals from many other countries but hell, they are swarming in across the southern border. While we are at it, give the Puerto Ricans back their country to govern themselves and send the lot of them back too, in the North East we deal with their gangs constantly. Murders on a daily basis by these thugs.

You see, "immigration" is really being used as an excuse to treat other human beings like dogs. It's disgusting, and coporate America is gaming this outbreak of hate. I mean really kids, this is how it worked with notorious facists in the 20th century:
A group of people by decree, are illegal, therefore we can do what we wish to them.
More immigration sounds good, keep career professionals on the same "team" - a good lever against corporate violence.

Well ... I'm really on no one's side on this article and board. For one, I don't think this is about single mothers, Puerto Ricans, or people on welfare trying to supplement a very meager allowance from the government. Plus, if she doesn't have papers, she's not receiving welfare -- because they've been checking citizenship in more recent years. (Though I do question why a poorer single woman -- of any nationality -- would have 3 children in this day and age of family planning education. I could understand one child, maybe two if she was divorced. But to go and have 3 kids with no husband and no money? Of course, the Catholic Church doesn't care too much about that, does it? And even Mexico has about the same birth rate as the U.S. and since a family planning program started in the 1970's. Mexico is NOT a 3rd world country, by any stretch of the imagination. Which is another reason my heart is NOT bleeding.) But back on topic, I think our borders should be enforced. This kind of corporate take over of our borders is unacceptable. It's dangerous to our national security, there are millions of Americans out of work and unable to find jobs right now. And there -- on May Day -- they're marching -- millions ILLEGALLY with jobs and signs that say, "We work for America." It's extremely offensive to me. How about a May Day March with the millions of Americans UNEMPLOYED? I find this very disingenously manipulative -- "racist", "jobs that Americans that don't want", and the rest of the mythological rhetoric.

On the internet, they are saying there is a boycott of Mexico. I am supporting that boycott. I was in my supermarket today and the price of salsa from Mexico had dropped dramatically because no one is buying. I was tempted, naturally, but then I realized it was because the boycott i'd heard about. So I didn't buy it.

Arizona? Why should I boycott Arizona?

Notice that they're not boycotting the companies that HIRE ILLEGALLY.

When was the last time the truthout people and the rest of their liberal friends told an American they didn't really need a job? In so many words, expression, or less .. ?

"I was educated in the American public school system. Why isn't my country cashing in on its investment in me?"

"Real Social Security Number: Unemployed 15 months"

"Real Social Security Number: Unemployed 28 months"

"Real Social Security Number: Unemployed 3 years"

"Real Social Security number: Unemployed 9 years"

"Real Social Security Number: Unemployed 7 years"

"Real Social Security Number: Unemployed 1 1/2 years"

"We all went through the American public school system."

"We DON'T work for America, Obama. WHY NOT?"

If you are in the country illegally please be so kind as to not break more laws. Behave yourself. If you break more laws, whether or not you have children who are citizens, matters not to me. You become no different from citizens who break laws and are sent to prison. They too are separated from their children, many of whom end up with relatives or in foster care. You do not get sent to prison, you get deported. Thats just the way it is for law breakers.

The "enforcement": and all the "gravy" that comes with it, really makes the police state a lucrative corporate growth opportunity. Some of these companies contracted in the lock 'em up industry behave like Coca Cola, agressively marketing police brutality since they have been given the green light to harvest "illegals". It's subtle, but it's a sure sign this country is in huge trouble.

The only thing that prevented the Native American Peoples (aka Indians or indigenes) from declaring the Europeans "illegal aliens" and running their rapacious asses out of North America was the fact the Europeans possessed "advanced weapons technology."

For all the yapping about peace, freedom and democracy, ultimately it comes down to the ability to kill people who do not agree with you, who are simply "in your way," or who have what you want, whether land or resources.
This is how the people who "founded" the U.S. behaved and how the U.S. continues to behave.

What a pathetic joke.

I think all these foreigners should protest by going back home. Can you imagine their shock when those in USA expect their govt to enforce the laws designed to protect its citizens.
