It's frightening to contemplate what the Mormons will make of the new conservative Republican charge to pass the most draconian laws in our nation's history....

What a bunch of BS

On the other hand, church members tend to be politically conservative, which means they support harsh laws concerning undocumented immigrants.

Harsh??????

You mean you don't think ensuring that people obey the law is harsh? :-)

Anyone who uses the phrase "anti-immigration", when they mean "anti-illegal-immigration" is either ignorant or a political shill. Or both.

On the Salt Lake news the other night they were showing a family from Argentina that was here legally and the INS was deporting them after them being here several years. Well what the hell is wrong with the INS leaving every illegal from Mexico here but the ones who came in legally are deported. I guess you have to follow the orders from the President huh.

    Well over 90% of those deported under Obama entered the country without authorization; those who did enter with authorization must have committed at least one aggravated felony (which includes a variety of crimes, many of which are not felonies at all!) to be put into proceedings....

    EWI is the law to which Rigbee refers: it is a civil infraction & much akin to speeding....

    (Can you imagine being locked up indefinitely, deprived of almost all civil rights, & treated as an animal, for speeding?)

    There are alot of political shills on here, but we're not going around attacking them....

    Perhaps you should think about following our example....
