SHHHH!…..Are you nuts giving away our secret passage ways?….Now the T-rumpistas Brown Shirts are going to crash through your doors to drag them away to concentr….err, I mean holding centers…

I did not know that.

I love this. I think Trump is being horrid. Of ALL the people a to pick on, the dreamers are not a probably the least likely to cause the USA trouble. Every thing he does is to alienate groups of people and friendly nations is a crazy thing to do. Can he be fired? He has damage.

Let’s see if I understand this correctly. The only people the Trump administration has been in the process of deporting are people who have broken laws, most of them violent. And those of you above want to protect them? Yes, something needs to be done to figure out what to do with the people who were brought here by parents. Can we at least agree that adults who came to this country illegally should be removed? And Pam, yes, he can be fired. It is called an election or impeachment. The first is scheduled for 2020. Put up a candidate who is better than the last one the Democrats put up and you might have a chance. Otherwise, find a high crime or misdemeanor and have him removed.

^^ Ethnically cleanse and forcibly relocate all the Native Americans in the way?

Well, this situation has some really ugly overtones.

Looks like we’ve got a 21st century Ferrocarril Subterraneo.

But how will they collect their welfare checks?

That is breaking the law. Is that what you are saying? It is okay to break the law?

That’s risky

It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all. – St Augustine

An unjust law is itself a species of violence. Arrest for its breach is more so. – Gandhi

The rules and principles of case law have never been treated as final truths but as working hypotheses, continually retested in those great laboratories of the law, the courts of justice. Every new case is an experiment, and if the accepted rule which seems applicable yields a result which is felt to be unjust, the rule is reconsidered.- Benjamin N. Cardozo

(These are the people that the GOP wants to deport.)

I’m not getting this one. Maybe it’s where I’m not hispanic. Maybe it’s where I’m not in the states. But I am confused. Where did this passageway come from, who are ‘dreamers’, where did they come from, what are they doing there, why are you hiding them, what does it have to do with hispanic month, etc? Sorry I just don’t get it…

This is so insulting to the Jews who really did have to hide. How about you hide these illegals in the country of the flag they so proudly fly. A real American flies the American flag, so obviously they know they don’t belong here.

Yikes! This one hits close to home. And I see it has already drawn out a legion of racist trolls.

@Idahoser

“Why would anybody want to support a permanent underclass who’s allowed to be paid less than legal?”

Why do you keep asking this question when you keep ignoring the answer?

The GOP and their business lobbyists want it this way. Otherwise, the ‘so-called law and order’ party would arrest and prosecute the business owners that do the hiring.

But like any other GOP answer, they would rather act against the more helpless, but mobile individuals…

Rather than the businesses that tend to stay in one place, but also do the hiring.

Wow – Talk about hitting a nerve – Oct 1 – 10 comments; Oct 2 – 3 comments; Oct 3 – 4 comments; Oct 4 – 75+ comments.

To the brain-dead jerk Baldo cartoonists: I take NO sides in this issue. My complaint is the inclusion of POLITICS in the comic strip. If I want to read political commentary of any kind, I’ll go to websites where that is the reason for the sites’ being. You have ONE last chance with me—more politics in a strip and YOU ARE FIRED…that is, I delete your strip from my daily reads and urge everyone else who feels as I do to do the same. When enough people do that, your store is closed and you are out of business. Best way to make my point. If you’re not smart enough to be funny without politics, that’s the way it should be. If you aren’t smart enough to know how to be good without using politics, you deserve to fail. Proof? Go look at your competitors and get a clue!

I would usually agree about how political comments can get when I just want to have a good laugh but the artists opened the door on this one. I’m Irish and don’t know much about Hispanic Heritage Month, but if it is doesn’t it make sense this immigrant issue would come up?

I actually have a relative who argued that it was stupid for the US to try to enforce the immigration laws as they can’t get every person smuggling across the border. I replied that was like saying that the police shouldn’t enforce the speeding laws as it impossible to catch every person breaking them and most of the time the speeders don’t do any harm. He couldn’t reply to that.
