#1 When criminals are in fear, the police are doing a good job.

#3 Geeze, these twits can't even do good purple prose. Fear doesn't WALK the streets, pal, it STALKS them. And they're "mean streets", too.

Read the style manual, please.

Let him know what you think of his article. I do not see how biased opinion counts as news. Oh wait..

#5 Wow, I haven't read a piece that biased since the 2008 presidential election.

Truly a revealing work by the author of himself, illegals and their opinion of us and our country.

He doesn't care what you think.

Navarette used to write opinion pieces for the San Diego Union-Tribune. It was sickening. I've kept my subscription because Mrs. Uluque reads the Travel and Entertainment sections. But I never read any of it anymore.

#7 But he worked himself up to an office job? I wonder how many "lazy Americans" would take that office job with a jeweler?

#8 Actually, Fear wears hot pants, and walks the street of Van Buren in Phoenix. And always remember to take Fear back to your motel room, 'cause Fear's pimp, Pedro, is waiting back in Fear's apartment to rip you off and shank you, if you go there.

And don't even think for a moment that the Phoenix PD will be fooled into thinking that Fear is your cousin from Puerto Rico. They know all about Fear, and her girlfriends Hate, Envy and Shanice (the fat one).

Oh, and yes, Fear will give you a nasty dose of some Mexican strain that can eat through latex.

So I guess you don't subscribe to the NY Times.

#11 "That's not true," says the husband, who's worked his way up from manual labor to an office job for a jeweler. "Americans are lazy. They don't want to work."

"At least that's what I choose to believe. Hey, watchoo lookin' at? It gives me all the excuse I need to take someone's job. Besides, we're all North American, man!"

But then, he catches himself -- and corrects himself.

IOW: Here comes the BS ....

"I shouldn't say that," he says. "They're not all like that, but some are. They're spoiled. They think it's easy to come to the United States legally, and they speak from ignorance."

They're not lazy. They are purchasing the cheapest product. To their own personal benefit but to society's detriment. Happens a lot these days.
