In his press conference on December 20th, President Obama urged the House of Representatives to support the Senates immigration bill, which passed 68-32 in late June. Among the concerns cited by Americans who oppose reform are that immigrants will take their jobs, drive down wages, increase criminal activity, burden the welfare system, and reshape the cultural dynamic of the country. These concerns are mostly ill-founded. The legitimate concerns have real solutions, and a more open immigration policy will be a net benefit for all Americans...
Highlights from Article:
- A 2013 study by the American Action Forum states that "immigration reform can raise population growth, labor force growth, and thus growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
- In 2013 the Bipartisan Policy Center came to similar conclusions. It makes the prediction that current provisions, as included in the Senate Bill, would raise GDP 4.8 percent over twenty years.
- According to the Immigration Policy Center, immigrant males between the ages of 18 and 39 (which constitute the greatest portion of the prison population) are five times less likely to be incarcerated than are natives.
- A 2011 survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that 92 percent of second generation and 96 percent of third generation Hispanics speak English proficiently.
- A 2010 Gallup poll revealed that Hispanics attend church services more often than non-Hispanic whites.
- Since an influx of immigrants means an expansion of the labor supply, many assert that the result will be less jobs and lower wages. However, as asserted by Jason Riley, a member of the Wall Street Journal editorial board, The number of jobs in the United States is not static. Its fluid, which is how we want it to be.

Because.
He.
Can.
I wonder if it is gone because of the comment section? It wasn’t to pleasant more times than not?
OK, Ganag: I have problem and I need some really practical input.
The last week or two I have had to restore the computer to a previous date, and that has been happening more frequently.
I’m thinking (correct me if I’m wrong!) I may need to transfer everything to the slave, and/or reformat OR *gasp* get a new computer. The latter is most likely WAY out of my abilities, but I am open to ALL suggestions. If someone has any inklings, I am willing to provide what info I can. I just canNOT justify a new computer at this time...
ANY help will be appreciated!
‘Face
I heard someone say he wished he could do that...then my mother said, “You probably could, but I don’t think the dog would like it.”
Transfer important stuff to a backup drive.
After that, try to find out if it is a bad update or hardware issue.
My Auntie had a beagle named “Daisy Mae” who got lost in the cornfields on a regular basis, also sprayed by skunks. They thought she was really dumb as a box of rocks.
My friend at work says, “Go ahead. He don’t bite.”
It stopped his lashing out at humans and his aggressiveneaa toward the cats. He’s a model citizen now!
Lol! Georgia is so cool except for a couple of legal-type things....
There were sloths that were quicker witted than this poor dog.
He fell asleep in the bathtub.
Only through quick action by my father did the dog avoid drowning.
That sounds about right!
In the morning, I will transfer the entire hard drive to the slave. For now, its been photos and documents, but I think it’s gone beyond that.
The rest, I’m not sure how to do because I don’t know what’s causing the problem. I get a white screen when the system is going wonky, and it won’t allow me to do anything else.
So I reboot and restore. And that indicates (to my uneducated mind) that there is something going on that I need to be on top of.
TMI, Bob! TMI!
Yow!
*tagline*
Define "warm up"... ;-)
Just a different ending to the same joke.
It’s evolution in action. That joke started out in Sumatra, six hundred languages ago.
And you know because you are older than Dirt, right? ;o]
White screen?
Video could cause that.

Something Boehner seems to support.
