I completely agree with you. You sound like a kind and empathetic man. See my column regarding my opinion of what's wrong with the federal government. A person who works for DHS recently asked me to do a "good story" about them because they "really needed it." I declined. I should have asked why they don't do something that DESERVES a good story so good Americans don't have to argue about people struggling to feed their families. It's enough to make anyone with common sense sick. Luke Visconti, CEO of DiversityInc

If I met a hungry person–regardless of their immigration status–I too would feed them and point them to the nearest shelter. As a fifth generation Alabama resident, I understand these laws are harsh. But they are in reaction to several administrations of the Federal Government which have not enforced employment laws with regard to illegal workers. Allowing illegal aliens to work hurts poor and minority workers who are U.S. citizens. Allowing illegals to work by being paid under the table or using phony ss numbers undermines efforts to have a minimum wage for unskilled and other workers. Once the borders are under control, perhaps an amnesty program for illegal immigrant residents in the U.S. can be worked out.

You don't know what you're talking about. Here's a story of a Mercedes Benz executive who was arrested because he didn't have the right papers. He was released because of the political pressure involved with arresting an executive of a company that has a large manufacturing plant; just imagine what happens to people without the right connection.

If you have to lie to make your point… It is better to shut up, your point is wrong.

Somebody show me where in the Alabama law it instructs or allows police to pull over people because they “think” they may be illegal?

Hint: Its not there.

Why accept the lies? Why is it so important to mislead someone? Maybe because their position is just plain wrong.

Mr. Visconti,

I am sending this email to express my gratitude for your comment posted to Ms. Smith. Unfortunatley, in today’s society there are individuals that filled with hatred and insensitive to the struggles of many cultures that have worked hard for their families to remain in the land of freedom. Once again thank you.

Hey Becky, what’s a “mucher”? While you’re thinking about that, here’s another question: Have you ever noticed the inverse relationship between intelligence and use of ALL CAPS and multiple punctuation marks? With this comment, we are closing all comments for this article – no further comments positive or negative will be posted. Luke Visconti, CEO of DiversityInc

Maria
Just so you are aware, quit “pulling the violin strings”!!
Your family obviously came over here ILLEGALLY so don’t even complain. If it was so bad when you were 9 and had to supposedly work to “feed your family” miss noble, then go back were you came from and shut-up!! You individuals are breaking the law and getting billions of our legal citizens tax dollars, meaning we are paying for you muchers, and do not even have the right to complain about having to actually work for the handouts while breaking the law! Also sweetie, that job you have is stolen from us Legal Americans so DEPORT AWAY and keep your violin story to yourself.

The natural urge to reproduce is very powerful. Somebody had you, yet you acknowledge that you were born poor. Why was it OK for your poor parents, but not someone else's? Luke Visconti, CEO of DiversityInc

I'm publishing this because Rebecca makes some good points. However, many Cuban Americans came here under very difficult circumstances - and often penniless. Please look at my interview with SEC Commissioner Aguilar. He was a "peter-pan" child - if you don't know what that is, look it up, it will break your heart. Luke Visconti, CEO of DiversityInc
