Our government's policies towards illegals is nothing short of licentiousness.

Which reminds me - why do we clean the kitchen before a party? The only people that are going to see it clean are the first few to show up.

A side note. You may have noticed that I enjoy wordsmithing.

Last night I was watching Fox Magazine hosted by Laurie Dhue. After her intro of the stories to be covered she concluded the intro with, "..without further adieu..." That was an interestng choice of words and I wonder whether that was a purposeful double entente!

Nah, no reason to shoot you.

It is funny to see law and order conservatives make an exception for cheap labor though :)

Speaking of which - I've got to go clean my office. I've got so many papers and whatnot from school all over. Apparently, the missus isn't buying my contention that the piles are all systematically organized.

If life is a series of balances, good and bad, wealth and poverty, etc., then this was the weekend of near debauchery without the charges being filed. :)

i am sure it is because i don't live somewhere in a border state and so it doesn't affect my life terribly, that i can't get overwrought over it.

The licentiousness of the federal government regarding illegal immigration apparently knows no bounds. Pretty soon illegals will have 100% of the benefits of being an American citizen and none of the disadvantages. They don't have to pay income taxes, are not going to be bothered with jury duty, and even if the democrats reinstate the draft, no problemo!
On the other hand, universal free healthcare for you and your entire family costs zero, zilch, nada. If this keeps up, many native Americans (not Indians--just everyday Americans who were born here) will renounce their citizenship, move to Mexico and then sneak back across the border to enjoy the hospitality.

That's why it is not as huge issue for me either. I'm not in a state being bankrupted by illegals either

Apparently, I practiced my own form of licentiousness by copying dubya's homework. Two more acts of plagiarism will qualify me as a democrat. Six more will get me published.

well clearly it is a growing concern, nationwide, foxnews is paying a lot of attention to it, though the MSM undoubtedly is not. since i don't even glance at MSM, i can't say for sure.

Better be careful trying that. The Mexicans actually enforce their border laws.
