I guess if it is true and with the way it was redacted it also excludes legal inmigrants, then no I don't agree.

I also don't see why landlords have to check for papers now, that's not their job.


Does that also mean that IF someone was vacationing from another country and they where going to spend the whole summer in the US and A....lol.... 3 or 4 months, they could not rent a house because they are not citizens?


I think the problem is in the borders, lock them up somehow, then start kicking people out. But you cannot, even if they are illegal, refuse humane services, that being food, medical help, housing etc, to someone in need.


It's a hard situation to deal with.

The perfect thing to do would have people in areas smothered with illegals ask for photo ID for humane services.

No ID? No McDonald's for you. It would send the perfect message, if you're not a US citizen, we don't want your pesos. We don't want your people in our hospitals, we don't want you in our apartments, we don't want you in our houses, we don't want you in our work places - WE DON'T ------- WANT YOU.

If they required proof for more ----, it would make living here harder. A few weeks of starvation, living in the street, just as poor as you were when you lived in Mexico, and your *** would go back - because at least you could buy food.

Of course, even though this would be a great way to solve a hard problem...human rights and civil service ******* would complain and give hand outs, blow jobs, and a nice *** to ----. ------- limp wrist **** suckers.

this is directed towards illegals, if you are vacationing from another country you will have proper paperwork. passport, visas, etc
if you are illegal you dont have those things

More importantly, all it will mean is, it becomes the landlords responsibility to ensure they tenant is legal. That means if they are found to be renting to an illegal immigrant, they will be responsible for committing a crime.

So you'll end up convicting people in the US. The immigrants will still get deported, just like they always have done, but the landlord will get screwed worse then before.
