I read an interesting article today.
Some points I found worth noting.
“I was angry about how I was being treated,” Ben said of how illegal immigrants are made to feel like criminals. “I felt like it was very unfair. … Even when immigration reform got changed it helped some of us, but I’m still angry because I have some relatives who are being treated the same way I was treated when I first came to this country in 1977.”
I found the bold sentence rather amusing. He is complaining that illegals are treated like criminals. When you cross the border illegally your breaking federal law and therefore committing a felony act. Hence the term illegal. YOU ARE A CRIMINAL. Who is treating you like a criminal anyway, the employers that knowingly employ you illegally and don't collect income tax on your behalf, the police that refuse to detain you when caught in the act of committing a felony, the state and federal government that give you services you did not pay taxes for, your landlord for renting property to someone in the act of committing a felony. Yes, I can see your treated so unfairly..........
Which brings me to this
Their sisters, they said, live under constant fear of deportation. Byron said one sister, who works as a waitress in a local restaurant, was stopped by a police officer recently while driving and asked to show her license, which she does not have. She was crying when the police officer noticed her uniform, which displayed the name of the restaurant. “You work in this restaurant? That’s one of my favorite places,” Byron said the officer told her. “You always take good care of us. Next time make sure you carry your driver’s license.”
Byron said the police officer was like a guardian angel for not questioning his sister more closely about why she didn’t have license, which could have led to her deportation. “Even though maybe he did something wrong, he did something very right to our family,” Byron said.
Our governments absolute refusal to enforce our laws on illegals. The fact she was crying should have elicited some suspicion. The fact she was driving with no license and probably no insurance (she can't get insurance with no license, if someone else insures the car they are knowingly letting her drive with no license) and the police officer just sent her on her way does not surprise me. It is also very obvious he did not do a records search on her (claimed identity since she had not picture ID) to see if she even had a license or run plates on the car to find the registered owner. After all that could lead to deportation and we can't have that can we?

Why they do it?
The ’86 amnesty transformed the political landscape in California, which swung from red to solidly blue on the strength of newly naturalized Hispanic voters and their citizen children. (As of 2009, about 40 percent of amnesty recipients have become citizens.) And in 2012, 70 percent of Hispanic voters—some of whom were naturalized through amnesty, or are related to people who were—voted for Obama over Mitt Romney, painting a worrisome picture for the Republican Party, which has had trouble making inroads with the fast-growing demographic.
Political reasons of course. Your government is selling you out.
