"It's only when we don't mean to win that we fail to do so."
These really are words of wisdom, I hope you know. If only we as a people would regain that will to win; the will to be great and do great things.
I heard a quote on tv once that characterizes the American spirit - it is: 'One characteristic of a true American is where he is able to take an idea from the conception stage - with no help- and by the seat of his pants with trials and tribulations somehow make it work.' That's not exact but pretty close.
Sorry to get off topic, but this is exactly why Ronald Reagan was a great president. He gave us a sense of possibilities; he instilled in us the will to win.

Oh yes...it's called "vision" and "determination". The American spirit is comprised of both. Thanks for your observations. I think the subject deserves some "off-topic" time. :)

Well I am for it. I do get replies Bush concerning this. He is going to add 2,000 more agents and new equipment and there has been mention of national gaurd to kick it off.Bush says he does not want illegals and people should not break our laws. I hope everyone will contact the White House and let the President know what they think. I have sent the articles and even a few threads from chats concerning illegals & immegration and the problem it is causing this country.There are other issues I would rather work on but this is the most important. Its not just the security of the country that is at stake. It is dragging the quality of life in this country down to 3rd world status,depleting our resources and taking a lot out of my pocket book. It increases the crime rate and does great damage to the quality of education in this country. Getting conquered from within is just as bad as terrorism. In fact I consider it terrorism.

Because our laws ssay that if we as citizens arrest someone , we must turn them over to our LEO's for trial. We do have the power ot arrest but not the power to be judge and jury. What if on the way to our LEO's I decided to buy a pack of smokes, in say, Mexico, then I have a change of heart and let the guy go

If you want a good example of the need for a stronger immigration policy that the libs will understand, suggest to them that the Indians (Native Americans to those of you in Rio Linda)would have faired much better had they had a strong immigration policy as far back as the 1400's.

I think that might carry some weight!
