TheLittleWeen thinks everyone is an illegal immigrant. That is all he writes about, and he does so in a very prejudiced way.

Unless they told you they are, or you have verified it with federal authorities, you don't know that.

If they were illegal, the police station would have been the first to know and it would also have been written in the report. A lot of "these people" you say are illegal actually are here on Visa's, which makes them legal unless it expires. There actually hard workers and only a very few of them get into trouble. Whens the last time you saw someones name in the paper for being an illegal immigrant and helping some old lady across the street or shoveling the neighbors driveway. But "those people" have a lot of respect for the church and there elders and wont hesitate to lend a hand to anyone that needs it. Friend or stranger. If you had any idea what "those people" went thru in there own country you wouldnt talk the way you do. There here for the same thing you and I are, to make a better life for there families that they couldnt do anywhere else. There not stealing your job or taking the food off your table. Theres plenty of work out there for everyone, you have to want to work every day before you look for a job.

Whoa! Illegals or not That's for ICE to deal with.

Your all missing the point. Laying hands on your spouse .
American OR NOT Is still Against the law in this country and If these people are Illegal.
These CHARGES WILL NOT HELP them gain citizenship. And they know it!
They are doomed to be caught eventually.
If he's still in custody he may face deportation real soon. If he is " IN F A C T " illegal you'll know the truth to that soon enough.
There are some Americans who shouldn't be living free in this country for beating their wives and girlfriends either. So if being illegal was really the reason for this crap.
I feel confident that every alien in america wouldnt be allowed to exist in alien status.
Ladies prefer Gentlemen who know when aggressive actions are appropriate.
And aren't afraid to do so when the RIGHT time comes to protect and defend.
Not to offend and condemn. Women or Girls they claim to love.
Grow a heart.
But if you hate women that much your in the right state Gays are coming out of the closet everyday.
Don't bother keeping up the front sleeping with them when you really don't think much more of them than the sexual gratifications they provide.

I live on this street and these people are scum. It was a nice quiet area before they moved in. They are constantly drunk and on the front porch blaring music, I have to keep my windows closed with the A/C on just to drown out the noise. Their cars don't have inspection or reistration stickes on them. I hope they get kicked out. I don't have a problem with immigrants as long as they do it the right way and become a part of the tax paying community.

CAIRO KID.
KEEP YOUR THIRD WORLD ATTITUDE IN THE THIRD WORLD.
WE ARE AN ADVANCED SOCIETY.
YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO COME AND GO AS YOU PLEASE...ITS ILLEGAL TO BEAT WOMEN HERE. LIKE IT OR NOT.
WE WEAR SHORTS AND STILL MANAGE TO GET BY WITHOUT TRADITIONAL HEAD DRESS AND STILL NOT BE WHORES.

I KNOW YOU HAVE A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE FREE COUNTRY YOU APPLIED FOR AND GAINED CITIZEN SHIP TOO.

SO I AM ONLY TYPING IN CAPS SO YOU DON'T MISS ANYTHING.

THIS IS AMERICA.LIKE IT OR LEAVE IT. YOUR CHOICE.

BEATING YOUR WOMAN OR MAN (IT HAPPENS) IS JAILABLE AND REALLY SHOULD BE.

YOUR IGNORANT ATTITUDE IS SOMETHING THIS COUNTRY HAS NO NEED FOR.
AND HAS LAWS AGAINST.

THANKS TO OUR OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM AND ELECTED OFFICIALS.

Yes, Cairo kid, ENOUGH! Unless you make over-generalizations about white American citizens who attack their wives, you are just being a bigot. In case you don't know, bigotry is generalizing the negative actions of one member of a group to the entire group - as you are doing with undocumented aliens. Do you want to even up the score by generalizing about American citizens because Police Chief LaCroix allegedly beat up his wife? Does that make all American citizens wife-beaters? Or is it o.k. when a white American citizen does it?

The point is that a man nearly killed his wife and was arrested for it. Let's hope he gets punished accordingly and his wife gets the help she needs to start a new life free of abuse.

As for your nonsense about the 'nanny state', please realize that helping people when they run into trouble is the best way to keep a country's economy strong. People who are starving and homeless don't contribute to a healthy economy. When given aid, 100% of that money goes back into the economy - and most of it gets spent at local businesses. Please find another information source than the one you currently use and look at the whole picture before you type another comment... we'll all thank you for it!
