man who spent 30 years of his life in U.S. is deported
On Martin Luther King Jnr Day. Wife, kids, sobbing. A nation of s***holers we are.
Yep 30 years to become an American citizen that's awful.
Isn't it.. I worked in IT here years ago, and there was a lady, she was a cleaner at one of the campuses I worked at, she was from England.
One Australia day, she proudly came up to us and said she finally did it. She became a citizen.
She was beaming. Things had changed for her and it was settled. None of us even knew she wasn't already. But the fact she felt so happy about it, was awesome.
She didn't break in illegally, nor did she lie to stay, nor did she do anything wrong.
Do it right, why the hell is this such an issue to the left.

Interesting piece of history from the Trump family:
In November, a German tabloid unearthed a 1905 letter from Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, in which he begged German authorities not to deport him. The handwritten letter—originally in German—has now been translated and published in the latest issue of Harper's.
The elder Trump first emigrated to the US from the Bavarian town of Kallstadt in the German Empire in 1885 at the age of 16, illegally skipping out on mandatory military service (sounds familiar). That move lost him his citizenship, and he later became a US citizen where he made his fortune running brothels and bars during the Yukon gold rush.
Trump returned to his homeland in the early 1900s, but he was scheduled to be deported because of his draft-dodging history.

Seems fitting. The US is, after all, a nation of s***holers, to put it blunt. Trumps Grandfather fled country to country in search of a better life. Even to dodge military service. The Irish came across the Atlantic in droves from the then poverty stricken Emerald Isle. Potato famine anybody? Italians fleeing poverty and politics. Japanese Americans, no different. A nation of s***holers and that's the truth. Trumps ilk are no different but he's so quick to forget that, and so are many of his supporters unfortunately. Excuse after excuse.
Not saying borders should be open. Not saying laws should be ignored. These are different times I understand. But compassion, understanding, respect is much needed here. This revelation about Trumps ol' pop is nothing new, it's been circulating for months, but I think it's important to remind those who are quick to support him over whatever he says. He comes from a long line of s***holers himself and so do millions of others.
I think the dynamics

No sympathy from me. My paternal grandfather from Europe ended up in Mexico and tried to cross the border, together with assorted Europeans, and they were not allowed in. Yet, you seem to think people from sh!thole countries should just be allowed in and receive today's government tax slave funded goodies like free medicine and all sorts of welfare. Get a grip mate!

What did i say that made you ask that? I see no words equating to "lie" in my post.
And here I will post the definition of the word you used to describe the commentary you were commenting on...
adjective: mendacious
not telling the truth; lying.
"mendacious propaganda"
synonyms: lying, untruthful, dishonest, deceitful, false, dissembling, insincere, disingenuous, hypocritical, fraudulent, double-dealing, two-faced, Janus-faced, two-timing, duplicitous, perjured, perfidious.
I think that may have been what Painterz was getting at.

So if laws aren't to be ignored and these are "different times" (what ever that means); what are the solutions needed to solve the problem while not ignoring laws and accepting these are different times.

There is no politician in Congress ranging from far-left to far-right that would not agree that our immigration system is broken.
How does one pay taxes without a tax identification number?
Nearly half, or 3.4 million, of those workers paid Social Security taxes, according to 2014 estimates from the Social Security administration. And while the agency doesn't have a figure for how much this group paid in taxes that year, it said that unauthorized immigrant workers and their employers contributed $13 billion in payroll taxes in 2010, its most current estimate
In order to file for a federal tax return, undocumented immigrants need to apply for an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) from the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS issues these numbers to individuals who must file taxes, but don't possess or aren't eligible for a Social Security number. ITINs are issued to people regardless of their immigration status. An ITIN doesn't give a person legal work authorization and doesn't provide eligibility for Social Security benefits, according to the IRS website.
Sure he did a lot of things...
Had 30 years to become a legit citizen and didn't.
