STUART -- The often hot button issue of illegal immigration and opinions about undocumented workers living in America dominated much of jury selection Thursday for a trial pitting a brain-damaged Guatemalan man against Martin Memorial Medical Center. Since Monday, a pool of about 155 potential jurors has been reduced to 23, with dozens being dismissed for expressing strong opinions against the false imprisonment lawsuit former patient Luis Jimenez and his guardian filed against the hospital after Martin Memorial chartered a jet in 2003 to return him to Guatemala following two years of unpaid medical care. The hospital took the action after receiving a court order permitting his return to Guatemala, which an appeals court later determined exceeded the court's jurisdiction.

I'd add the following:

Enforce the immigration laws without exception.
Albert Einstein defined insanity as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." This sounds like how our courts deals with "Illegal Immigrants".

Immigration issues? Or ethno-centric invasion values?
From the article: "Many who have lived and worked in Utah for at least 15 years are still hoping to reach legal status."
Yes, they stole into our home and built themselves a cozy nest. Now they think about the legality of their actions. (Vomit heartily here)
