  1. soon the small buisness owner
    you people have had in your back pocket since
    the beggining of this disgusting migration

    will hit if he hasnt already.
    a point where its cheaper to lease a machine a month
    rather than hire one of your little buddies.

    1. Lol and you should be scared of A.I or the fact that the government is using face recognition in social media to keep an eye on us

    2. yeah but here we are talking about man power. immigrants are here
      cuase of there man power. which a.i. is quickly catching up.

  2. There is no war in colombia or mexico or many of the countries those ppl are coming from. Parents should be held accountable for their choices.

    1. Rene Hernandez that doesn’t count… that is the responsibility of those federal governments not ours…. blame their leaders, not ours. Blame them for being cowards and not staying and fighting as opposed to running away…

  3. YIKES there are a lot of bots in this comments section. To break up the nastiness, thank you Diane Guerrero for your intelligent, insightful, articulate, and moving contributions to this very sad conversation we are still having.

    1. Apparently, they feel threatened. By what, I wouldn’t know, since – real or not – they are causing more damage than this woman ever did.

    1. El Taco H. SARCASTIC AND TASTY

      What do your fingers smell like? You know you are messing around in something with those fingers.

    1. @Get Social we laugh at Chris Cuomo Fredo saying its the same for calling a black person the N word..yet Fredo ok with allowing ppl to call someone Fredo on his show and didnt stop it..

    1. @Idylchatter any illegal alien can get a job with fake documentation and fake SSN ..they also get welfare benefits paid by your tax dollars that supposed to go to Legal Americans. .. for those who keep saying they dont.. they do in fact get welfare benefits by DECEPTION
      A fair interpretation of the federal statute and state regulation must result in the conclusion that illegal aliens should not receive any form of state public assistance. However, illegal aliens do, in fact, receive state public benefits. That’s because the burden of determining lawful status in the U.S. is on the shoulders of county social services employees who have neither the legal jurisdiction nor the practical ability to determine one’s immigration status. Only an immigration official or federal worker whom the Secretary of Homeland Security has authorized may determine the immigration status of a person in the country.

      Typically, any proof an illegal alien provides as evidence of legal status, regardless of its fraudulent nature, will satisfy social services agencies that determine the person’s benefit eligibility because an intake clerk simply cannot make the determination that someone is an illegal alien. Therefore, the law is usually overlooked and illegal aliens manage to qualify for state and local benefits.

    2. @Lola Lola Trump.org directed them to get fake ID. You should only read what makes you comfortable. https://www.axios.com/trump-organization-undocumented-labor-golf-courses-a329a120-7a50-4284-a45d-77f2a888f69b.html
      The Trump Organization has employed a group of Latin American construction workers — some undocumented — to build features at its properties around the eastern U.S. for almost two decades, reports the Washington Post.

      Why it matters, via Axios’ Rashaan Ayesh: President Trump has made fighting illegal immigration a core part of his presidency and 2020 re-election campaign, but multiple reports over the past year have revealed that his businesses likely benefitted from cheap, undocumented labor. Friday’s Post report comes just days after ICE raids in Mississippi resulted in the arrests of 680 immigrants, separating families and stoking fear in immigrant communities across the country, per the AP.

    3. @Lola Lola I had an illegal immigrant tell me all about the loopholes and how to get a fake social sec. Card. Also the govt. Issues ITIN number that pretty much serves as an ss number. Despite whatever laws are in place unfortunately there are plenty of back channels that get utilized..

    4. @Marina Guajardo by comfortable do you mean following the law? Doing things correctly? If that is what you mean than certainly is cushy up here.

    1. Instead of your troll comment, what’s your personal view on the story? Was it wrong to send her illegal parents back home?

    2. @Daigle That’s the chance her parents were willing to take knowing they were breaking the law. It’s no one’s fault but their own. The parents shouldn’t have risked seperation ultimately putting their kids in that position to begin with.

  4. Republican fools keep saying Democrats want open borders. Can they stop using the same completely untrue talking point? And they never quote any politician saying it. They will just say that Bernie Sanders wants it or something and then never say when he said it.

    1. You right Obumma was the “Deporter in Chief” but now that Trump is in doing it at not nearly the fast pace as Obumma. Ppl get on Trump..

    2. And Democrats back in 2006 backed the “Safe Fence Act ” signed by bush..Hillary , Schumer Feinstein and Obama pelosi were all for it. Now tgey not..And again ppl get on Trump just cuz he wanted to make it a wall instead..what changed?

    3. *_“We simply cannot allow people to pour into the United States, undetected, undocumented, unchecked and circumventing the line of people who are waiting patiently, diligently and lawfully to become immigrants in this country.”_** – Barack hussein Obama*

      *_”We are a nation of laws. Undocumented workers broke our immigration laws, and I believe that they must be held accountable, especially those who may be dangerous. That’s why over the past six years deportations of criminals are up 80 percent, and that’s why we’re going to keep focusing on threats to our security,”_** – Barack Hussein Obama*

    4. If you want to decriminalize crossing the border and give free healthcare to illegals then you’re for an open border

  5. I’m also guessing you don’t mind these illegal aliens getting welfare benefits paid by your tax dollars that supposed to go to Legal Americans. .. for those who keep saying they dont.. they do in fact get welfare benefits by DECEPTION.
