I wonder if you even read a single word from the article, which happened to be > 10,000 characters if I had quoted it 11/6/2006 4:14:58 PM |

No, I didn't. The point here is that you have violated a longtime rule of this place. You have to get the conversation started. You know that. However, you didn't do it. 11/6/2006 4:16:52 PM |

ok here we go
Basically this article details a number of illegal immigrants who have been taken advantage of by supposed immigration lawyers who actually ended up ripping off the illegal immigrants and exposing some of them to immigration/deportation
In one hand its people breaking the law by scamming other people, who happened to break the law by coming here illegally
Some would say both sides (con artists and illegal immigrants) should be punished/fined/go to jail...some would say this is "rough justice"
hope that get the ball rolling... 11/6/2006 4:20:09 PM |

I really think that both sides should be prosecuted, here. There's really no excuse for these people to scam illegal immigrants. Just because they're here illegally doesn't mean it in any way justifies the abuse.

Two wrongs don't make a right, I agree
I just wonder how many people who have that perspective on this particular issue, that both sides should be prosecuted, felt that the immigrants should be prosecuted before this story came out...because what the illegal immigrants did/do (note: coming to America illegally) hasnt really changed just because some other people committed some type of fraud/scam on them 11/6/2006 4:31:29 PM |

As if immigrants aren't second-class citizens to began with. Nothing less than throwing the book at these lawyers will be acceptable. 11/7/2006 11:36:47 AM |

I can't articulate it any better, so i'll just quote this:
