U.S. District Judge James Munley, a TRUE AMERICAN HERO

Michael, I read the wiki article about Operation Wetback. That occurred in another age, 53 years ago. What succeeded then cannot happen now. That was in the era of Jim Crow. Segregation was being fought over. Then it was the blacks who bore the blunt of America's racist undertones, now, 53 years later, it's the hispanics. I grew up in Arkansas during that era. J William Fulbright (mentioned in the wiki) who was our Senator, Wilbur Mills, Orville Faubus and Jim Johnson, the "Old Guard" as they were called. I don't want to see a return to anything resembling that era. Sadly, that is the way this country is going.

BoWowBoy, I suggest you take a break from reading your right wing extremist websites and take a moment to read the decision written by Judge Munley. It wasn't a really bad call as you say, but the decision was based on BLACK LETTER LAW, spelled out in it's entirety in the U.S. Constitution, the so called "Patriot Movement" holds so dear. Another way to put that, is the basis for the decision is chiseled in stone, it is inviolate. If you will take the time to read the decision (which is available here in the download section), you will also notice that Judge Munley, invalidated and tossed several of the Plaintiffs claims, all based on Constitutional precedence. It might interest you to know that the majority of the plaintiffs were also legal citizens of the United States of Hispanic origin. And as you read the entire 206 page decision, as it is revealed what hasn't been revealed in the anti immigration reporting, about the hate and the racism exhibited against anyone of hispanic origin in Hazelton, ask yourself, if this is what America is really about.

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY - U.S. District Judge James Munley) who made that really bad call in Hazelton, PA last week, helping the illegals to continue to break the Federal laws of America. We will get rid of these judges who do not follow the law and legislate from the bench. Americans can and will protect our sovereignty from the invaders. Illegal aliens entering illegally across the borders of the United States of America, is every citizens problem and the fight will take place in the cities and towns across our country. The outcry of the American people as they become more aware of the problem is send them all back to the countries of their origin.

It will not happen overnight, but by one raid at a time. Jail employers who are exploiting these people and driving down living wages for American citizens. It has not been happening for 70 years. Check out some historical facts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Wetback

Perhaps you're right Mike and if that is the case, then it is up to Congress to empower the States and Municipalities to do so in order to survive these court challenges. Better, yet, perhaps it's time to put prejudices, bigotry and xenophobia aside and seek a real solution that will bring the illegals out of the shadows so we know who is here. People need to forget the word "Amnesty" and accept the fact that from a practical and logical point of view, it is impossible to round up and deport the estimated 12 million illegals in the country. And Congress needs to get it through their thick ass skulls that the majority of Mexicans DO NOT WANT citizenship. Let them work a few years and they'll return home and stay. Of course they will be replaced by a new bunch, but they too will eventually return home. It's been that way for almost 70 years.

Our federal government isn't doing the job so I believe it is up to the states and municipalities to step in and protect themselves when the feds won't. More power to Hazleton!!!!

The Constitution makes no distinction regarding legal or illegal because when the Constitution was written, the issue did not exist. Now it is your right (one of the guarantees of the Constitution) to be an evil conservative. I happen to be a "thinking conservative" or a "practical conservative". But if you are one of the mainline conservatives, then your belief is that the Constitution of the United States is not a living thing, but rock solid. And therefore should be adhered to, meaning the Bill of Rights applies to all human beings within our borders. There is no reason to hate a group of people because of status and especially a group of people that have no impact on your day to day life. That is stupidity. No Mr, Bush, you can build your fence, but who is going to guard it. And if there are enough people to guard the fence, then you don't need a fence in the first place <quote>But as much fear as there is for the next terrorist attack, there is also an undeniable fear that America is changing. And it appears that only one racial or ethnic group is being blamed for this alteration.</quote> It is hard not to be sensitive to the repeated suggestion that Hispanic immigrants are somehow at fault for the inability of local, state and federal governments to show fiscal restraint, to control crime and to preserve “American” values.

I do not discriminate against any particular illegal in our country. I believe they all should be deported no matter where they have come from. Yes...I am an evil conservative and hate all illegals equally. By the way, I would be interested to read the part of the Constitution that affords these rights to someone who is in the United States illegally. "Mr. Bush....build that fence" (evil conservative battle cry)

I stand corrected! Thanks! ! !

Dude - it's "regardless"... Main Entry: ir·re·gard·less Pronunciation: "ir-i-'gärd-l&s Function: adverb Etymology: probably blend of irrespective and regardless nonstandard : REGARDLESS usage Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that "there is no such word." There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead.

The U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights protects all persons within the boundaries of this country, irregardless of race, creed, color, religion or immigration status. Like it or not, it has been this way for 231 years. The judge ruled on the constitutionality of the city circumventing federal authority and nothing more In that manner, he was correct. I think it is time to forget about the Mexicans and concentrate on the illegals in this country who can really do us harm and probably would, given the chance. The middle easterners, the Arabs, Iranians and Iraqis who are hiding out in plain sight in our society. The Mexicans, they come, they work, they go home, an endless cycle.

This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Since when did the US Constitution protect the rights of an alien, illegal or not. Hey Judge....I think you have gone off the deep end. How about protecting the LEGAL citizens of your country.
