Do U agree with Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don’t violate any laws other other than their Immigration status,” ? I must ask how would as Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don’t violate any laws other other than their Immigration status,”obtain work without using fake or stolen documents are these still against the law in Rep. Luis Gutierrez D-Ill mind ? Then there is the issue of driver’s license and insurance and taxes, is not having either against the law as well ? Take a look.The nondescript 737 jet taxied to the front of the runway line at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
Aboard the flight, 53 passengers stared out windows as their rising plane banked toward Mexico and their handcuffs glinted in the morning sun.
This is U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Flight Repatriate, a booming airline ferrying illegal immigrants out of the country.
Flying worldwide from O’Hare and 22 other airports, the so-called ICE Air planes transported more than 367,000 illegal immigrants, including 11,500 from the Chicago area, out of the U.S. from October 2007 to October 2008—a 26 percent increase over the previous fiscal year and 77 percent more than in 2006. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano recently called for ways to “expedite removal” of thousands more illegal immigrants. The directive surprised advocates who have been lobbying for fewer deportations while they build momentum to reintroduce Immigration reform legislation in Congress by July.
“That was a signal to me that we need to work quicker and speak more effectively to the Obama camp,” said Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who is organizing Immigration rallies in 14 cities.
“The vast majority of undocumented immigrants don’t violate any law, other than their Immigration status,” Gutierrez argued.
On board Flight Repatriate during a recent trip to the border near El Paso, Texas, the passengers embodied the dashed dreams of deported immigrants everywhere.
Some fretted over U.S.-born children. Others stewed over U.S. residency applications filed years ago. On a flight where many passengers were convicted of other U.S. crimes, still more grappled with alcoholism and other demons that make them poster targets for arrest.
“I shouted to the police: ‘Then, kill me! Kill me!’ ” Moises Rivera, 35, boasted about the January night he guzzled eight shots of whiskey and fell asleep in his car at a Little Village traffic light. In jail, he sobered up to realize he was heading back to Mexico.
Near him sat Felipe Rodriguez, who was pulled over for speeding. The sunken-eyed restaurant busboy was arrested after showing an Illinois state trooper a fake driver’s license.
“I don’t smoke; I don’t drink,” said Rodriguez, 55, describing himself as a bookworm. “My whole family is in Chicago and Indiana, where we were happy.”

They are violating the law. They are here ILLEGALLY.
I thought the democrats want us to call them “immigrationally challenged”. Whats up with that now?

Well, if you also ignore tax evasion and/or identity theft, then maybe.

tell that to the millions of construction workers who couldnt compete with the low low wages, tell that to the people who lost families to drunk driver illegals, tell that to the families who lost people in LA because of MS13.

WTF..No, they are breaking our laws just by being here illegally, not to mention how much they Raise our crime rate….Everyone has a sob story. What is their problem, why don’t they just come here legally like so many others do. Why should we have to pay for them? We shouldn’t. They are in this country illegally and are not entitled to one single thing.

Flying worldwide? I think it would be helpful to state where they were being transported to.
I think it would also help to have an explanation of why people have to come to the states and act in unlawful ways for years while waiting for residency applications to be dealt with.

Ummm, I wonder what lineage Gutierrez claims? Think he might just be hispanic??? ; -) Who else would advocate for them so disgustingly? They’re all breaking social and moral laws when they come over to pop out anchor babies and live off of American tax payers, live in our government housing, collect Soc. Sec. using fake IDs, etc. etc. The list goes on ad nauseum. It’d be easier to ask what laws they are NOT breaking. Best hope that Gutierrez gets shut down by the few reps left who actually support the American people. Our government has sold us all out to big business– it makes me unbelievably sick.
