Salvation Army eyes immigrant return program
Imagine a capital-hopping jet loaded with immigrants who are heading home, disillusioned with the American dream.

That's one of the ideas the Salvation Army is considering to rescue undocumented aliens who've tried their luck in New York and failed. Many have no way to get home, so they turn to the organization for help.

"If we had the ability to send people to Mexico, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, and Haiti, we could fill a plane every month," said Alfred Peck, Salvation Army director of social services.

Plain and simple, no doubt about it. Try working for these people. What parasites they are indeed. Screw them, they deserve nothing IMO!!!
