Open season on undocumented immigrants

Where do we find such men?
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Anne Hobbs was angry. The head of the Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission had just learned of a Hispanic couple who said their landlord asked for their driver’s licenses - but didn’t ask the same of non-Hispanic tenants.
Hobbs said it sounded like the couple were “treated differently than everybody else because of national origin,” and sent the case to the state’s top prosecutor, hoping he would sue on their behalf under fair housing laws.
When Attorney General Jon Bruning received the case, he was angry, too - for a different reason than Hobbs.
“I’m not going to use taxpayer dollars to file lawsuits for illegal aliens,” said Bruning after learning the couple was in the U.S. illegally. “You’re not going to get a free lawyer” from his office, he said, “if you’re not a citizen of this country.”
I want all state AG’s to have this attitude.
What part of ILLEGAL don’t people get?? Why should those who break laws be coming and staying in this country the wrong way, be deserving of legal protections and status of law abiding citizens (who pay taxes)? This whole matter makes our justice system a travesty.

I believe that illegal aliens are due some rights, even though they are illegally present in this country. However, they are not due protection from prosecution of the laws by playing some race/equal employment/equal housing card. If only the rest of the country felt the same…

About the only rights they should get are a free ride back to their home country. LOL
I do like this AG’s mindset. I think he is spot on and wish we had more like him. If they all did this we might not have the huge influx of illegals we have. We make it too damn easy for these people to bleed us and use up resources and what not. It’s about time someone said NO.
