  1. I'd like to thank the Sun for starting to monitor the comments here. It is nice to see the racist nonsense removed. While I oppose almost all censorship, in this case it is warranted. Just think how frustrating it would be for our racists if they couldn't still spew their ignorance on the R-J boards too.

  2. I never saw the comment so I have no idea if it referred to illegals. Saying someone is illegal is not racist. I am in favor of stopping the illegal immigration. I also support the concept of what the Minutemen do. Unfortunately far too many posters here do not address the problems of illegal immigration such as the stress it puts on public services but instead we see comments that blatently racist. To not see racism in those comments would show one's ignorance. Those are the comments that deserve deleting. There are still enough comments showing that the writer assumes that any Spanish surname makes the person illegal to show the Sun is probably just deleting the inflamatory comments.

  3. Must be a lot of posters here who are on competing with these folks for low paying grunt jobs.........must be the case due to so much bitching everytime about illegal Mexicans.

    Guess you losers should have paid more attention in school,then you wouldn't have to be competing for jobs on the dumb end of a shovel, fliiping cards ro cleaning toilets.

  4. only in america can these posts be made; enjoy it while you can afford it.
