"Immigration" lawyer argues that no it is not a crime. If not, looks like a loophole that needs closing.

Read the accompanying pro-illegal editorial. sheesh.

[Ballygrl]

This is weird, because the Colorado Springs paper is supposedly a conservative paper.
Thanks to Solitar for pointing this one out.

Anyway:

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Looks like the Gayzette is getting its azz handed to it!

I thought polls were used to determine opinions. This one is asking a fact question. It might be a quiz, but it is NOT a poll.

Hey everybody! Wayne Laugesen, the jughead at the Colorado Springs Gazette said he doesn’t care if we all go over to his house and just move in. He says that he won’t call the cops if we do and that we can stay as long as we like.

Whoa! Your vote was 115 and my vote was 115? Something stinks.

[rockrr]

No wait - is this a trick question...? lol ;)

“This one is asking a fact question’

It’s not a crime to be here illegally, but to be here illegally, how many crimes did you have to commit?

Border laws

visa laws

etc.

What I didn’t like about this poll and this paper is that it required a code to vote. I’ve never seen that before with an online poll, and wonder if they can track that code to an isp>

Anyway, here’s what I saw:

Better question: is breaking the law a crime?

[Migraine]

Only in math do two negatives make a positive. In criminal law, two negatives equal two indictments.

[dynachrome]

I believe your IP can be tracked pretty easily if the powers that be want to. Entering a code is supposed to prevent ‘bots from spamming the online polls.

American citizens have not reproduced in quantities to provide a labor force adequate to fund pensions, provide health care, buy existing homes, fund Social Security, and produce ample wealth in the form of goods and services.

The jackass should just admit that America can't afford Democrats.

And illegals are not fueling home sales.
