My first post. Let's hope I don't screw it up. Angel Moms missing their children on mothers day. Which I will link. Hopefully. But this story hits closer to home than I prefer. I'm a gym rat and about a year ago one of the regular couple showed up, she looked like she had had a stroke. Nope. The belonged to a MC club and on a trip to Las Vegas they were tee boned on their bike by a Drunk Illegal alien. She was a little thing to begin with and took the brunt of the blow. Her husband has been carrying her into the gym for over a year. They know the secret of steel. a year later she walking with help from machine to machine. Progress every day. An inspirational couple. Build the damn wall.

I think we should build a wall between our countries. I agree, I agree! Let's talk about border protection without promoting prejudice against 'all' illegal immigrants. While they should not be here, they are not all wreck-less and disrespectful. That can lead to hate. I'm sorry for what happened to your colleagues from the gym.

I do think there are legitimate reasons for legal immigration, and lawful means to accomplish that. I also firmly believe that if someone is in this country illegally, they are not an immigrant.
Hi Gersh
Please can you help me understand something?
This guy was here "illegally" his actions were "illegal" the criminal justice system is designed to be prejudice against all illegal behavior and to prosecute it.
Why do you support illegal behavior?
That is absolutely not what I said. I do not support illegal behavior, or illegal immigration. I also do not support racist comments. I said I agree, protect our borders, I also said let's be careful not to stereotype all immigrants as lawless. We have enough hate.
Let me quote you: "While they should not be here (illegal immigrants), they are not all wreck-less and disrespectful."
If they are here illegally, they are disrespectful of our laws. Your comments specifically references "illegals"
For the sake of clarity, please can you confirm this to be correct?
You (Gersh) are saying that illegals should not be here and we should not tolerate illegals at all (some of them are nice), we should welcome "legal" immigration and not confuse the two?
Please clarify
Sorry, you're right. I'm not being clear on that. We should welcome legal immigration only, of course.

The story of the couple I know from the gym never made the news. How often is this type of thing happening? It seems to me, way to often.
