You know I don't mean that...
lol
Park in a Home Depot (or similar gathering spot) parking lot early on Saturday morning. Take out your clipboard and your digital camera. Make sure the flash is on, even though it's daytime, just to draw attention.
Take a couple of pictures...write a few things down. Make sure you're seen. It's amazing how fast that crowd dissipates.
hehehe. guerilla warfare with no collateral damage. I love it.
I was referring to #3. LOL
I once got flpped off for pretending to write down license plate numbers in the parking lt of a building supply store.
Ain't life grand! ;^)
"Home Depot"
The one here has signs in English AND Spanish (so we know who the usual suspects are) in the parking lot saying something to the effect of:
"NO LOITERING. POLICE WILL BE CALLED IF LOITERING FOR MORE THAN 15 MINUTES".
I knew that. I was just posting the definition for other's benefit :)
Then why the $1 billion included in the latest Medicare package just for the free health care for illegals?
Eventually it's got to happen --- over a milliong people a year coming over that border with no health insurance, no intention of buying health insurance, lacking skills so that employers don't value them enough to provide them health insurance. Add in their higher rate of diseases like hepatitis, TB, diabetes and of course their higher rate of pregnancy including teen pregnancy --- there is a limit to how much Americans can do.
One thing I don't understand is if the jobs illegals perform are so important, why aren't they paid more for those jobs?
I mean, what other measure do you have of the importance of a job than how much one gets paid to do it? In a capitalistic society, isn't the value of something always determined by how much someone is willing to pay for it?
They're almost never --- if ever offered standard benefits like paid vacation or health insurance --- they're paid lower than Americans doing the same job --- which is pretty racist of their employers. It's a modern day form of slavery --- not a good thing at all.
Our cities, hospital ERs and social services are all but choked off, all that's missing are chickens and goats in the waiting room, and this guy just now figured out that millions of illegals are a drain on America?
Sorry, no offense intended. I thought it was the article. :^)
All those employers who have their illegal slaves dump them off at the ER when they're hurt or sick...then let the taxpayers pick up the bill.
Stinking employers. How I'd love to see them in orange suits picking up trash--along with their wives who are too haughty and lazy to swab their own toilets, but instead break the law to do it.

I never thought I'd agree with Willie Don, especially since I'm from the "s#ithouse part of the state."
For each one that doesn't pay there are probably a dozen that do pay. That's why the hospitals and clinics, and doctors want to continue treating them. The fact that they make more than they lose doesn't keep them from whining for compensation for the amount they lose.<p. If you had any experience with being an employer you would know that employees are the most important component of your business. You take care of them and keep the good ones or your business fails.
Your arguments are the same ones a sociopath would make.
I want X, X is illegal, I'm gonna get X anyway."
The ERs have to evaluate everyone, even illegals. Why? Well, THAT'S THE LAW. MOST OF US OBEY THE LAW. SOME PEOPLE LIKE YOU BELIEVE THEY ARE ABOVE AND OUTSIDE THE LAW Once evaluated, they've already sunk resources, so they go ahead and treat even if it's not for an emergency.
We lawabiding fools end up paying for it. Lucky for you, the benefits of breaking the law outweight the penalties. Add to that willful refusal by our elected officials to enforce the law. Lucky you. Unlucky us.
Reminds me of the comments I read in a criminology textbook about our "camoflauge society" that rewards sociopathic behavior:
"Camouflage Society
Robert D. Hare, Ph.D.
In my book, "Without Conscience", I argued that we live in a "camouflage society," a
society in which some psychopathic traits- egocentricity, lack of concern for others,
superficiality, style over substance, being "cool," manipulativeness, and so forth-
increasingly are tolerated and even valued."
There you go again with your nonsensical "reward people for violating the law" mantra. Aside from the illegal alien lawbreakers and their staunch supporters (which includes you), very few people would be happy with your "give them green cards" suggestion.
