Re: “Four stories of immigrant mothers who braved hard work, perilous journeys, even separation to raise their children as U.S. citizens”

>>It's highly unlikely Bob even knows any immigrants, legal or otherwise<<

I know a great deal of immigrants, Mr. Allen, & I work with many. Virtually ALL of the ones I work with jumped thru hoops, filled out reams of paperwork & waited patiently for their turn at the chance on the American Dream. Nor did they sneak over the border, bringing their troubled issues with them in the way of brothers/cousins/sons who are gang members. Ask Metro Police about MS13 & the issues that particular gang has wrought upon Nashville.

Furthermore, illegals working on a cheap cash basis takes away jobs from the economically depressed, mostly black folks. I know lots of black men whom would jump at the chance to get back into construction work. Instead subcontractors hire ILLEGALS at a cheaper rate & pay NO TAXES. Hear that, liberals? PAY NO TAXES.

Mr. Allen, you lump ALL immigrants into one tidy little package nothing could be further from the truth. As for me personally, I do in fact welcome all LEGAL immigrants as I've worked in foreign countries myself & know what it's like to not know the language very well & so forth.

As for my "anger", yes, I am "angry" every time I read in the paper about an ILLEGAL who got drunk, drove & killed someone & then fled the country. Or every time an ILLEGAL raped, robbed or murdered someone. And in case YOU didn't know it, illegal immigrants are preyed upon the most by their illegal ganged-up brethren as the gangbangers know their victims most likely won't call the police. But clearly this is all hunky dory with you, sir.

"The single mom of two had seen her San Salvador neighborhood grow dangerous and crime-ridden. Gangs extracted protection money from business owners; many shops closed. She wondered whether her son, then 11, would one day fall in with the gangsters who lurked outside his school."

I know I should not respond to pathetic trolls like "bobsguns", but how can you read something like paragraph above and then compare them to child molesters? It's highly unlikely Bob even knows any immigrants, legal or otherwise, because if he did, he'd find out that most are sympathetic to the plight of the people mentioned in the article. Most people with real human emotions are. I know quite a few legal, naturalized immigrants and none think like Bob. Bob, just some advice: your commenting history makes you look like an angry person at best, at worst a sociopath. You might want to seek some help.
