So Guatemala is helping it's people break the law here. After all, if they have passports they will not have entry visas to this country unless they are counterfeit.

Also, Guatemalan passports are not legal for employment in the US unless it is accompanied by a green card to show that the holder has been vetted by authorities that they are legally here.

Any employer that hires people that are not legally here are in violation of federal law and are subject to fines and penalties.

Gee, I think I'll move to Switzerland to work and declare that my illegal status is nonsense. What far right liberals want is freedom from law, civil and moral.

I love my country and I believe in God. However, since the Catholic church feels an obiligation to get involved in politics I will pray to God from my home. I will keep my weekly donation instead of giving it to the catholic church who supports illegal aliens who break the law. So, what does the ten commandments mean to our priests? I guess nothing.

The Associated Press is made up of ignorant, open-border leftists. The article describes the protesters as "anti-immigration groups" even though the groups quoted focus on ILLEGAL immigration.

There's a difference, AP.

And yes, these IDs are needed ONLY by illegal aliens. Cops should consider these IDs as reasonable suspicion that the holder is an illegal alien.

So much for the sovereignty of the United States. The passports and other Guatemalan ID is worthless if their visa is non-existent or expired. Guatemala doesn't authorize their citizens to be in the U.S. That would be like me telling someone that they can go into your home anytime they wish and live there.
