>>The Justice Department refused to provide any of the data sought by Jaspin and Malone. Why? For three reasons, according to Rachal Madan, Office of Justice Programs' general counsel: (1) the grants data are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA because it concerns matters "of internal significance in which the public has no substantial interest," (2) processing the data "would place an unjustifiable administrative burden" on the Office of Justice Programs, and (3) releasing the data would "constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of (the convicted illegal aliens') personal privacy."<<

If the public has no substantial interest, just who in the the hell is concerned about our personal safety. The Bush Administration is is showing me more and more everyday that they are intentionally looking to break down the "Rule of Law" in the US!

Since when do terrorists nad criminal from foreign countries have protection from "constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of (the convicted illegal aliens') personal privacy."

This is the kind of idiotic thing that is going to start
another damn civil war in America.

[ We're all behind GW here. We love our country. We despise the democratic socialists and their ideals. ]

but we tolerate republican socialists, generally..
We have names for them even... socialism is merely a symptom of democracy, border insurrection is another.. Where does Bush stand in all this.?...
(shining my fingernails)
The answer, of course, is obvious..

Yeah I saw that......people who hide the crime of illegal immigration or any other "crime" behind the "racecard" are idiots . They have allowed themselves to fall victim to the divisional incrementalism of the socialists democrats.

I don't give a damn what yer heritage, race, sex , age etc is......crime is crime.

Check the bottom of my homepage for my opinion on "illegal" immigration.

That thread is just one sorry sack of crap calling everyone who doesn't agree with the originators ideals on the issue .... racists. It didn't invite debate at all. FR mods musta been sleeping to allow one individual to disrupt and insult vs what FR is about most of the time.... debate and learning the facts.

Stay safe !

Supporting ones President doesn't mean blind adulation of all they do . No President, even GW, is perfect or all our woes would have been solved yesterday...... I tell him in writing what I see as good and bad that he has done or is planning to do.

Pretty much all a citizen can do is squawk and vote when they don't like the way one leads.

Current polls (3)are still open on FR on this subject.

I find the results of this one interesting. 7.5 % say immigration is not a problem or favor open borders.



http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=10;results=1

Illegal immigration is the problem. 33.8% 1,008
Seal and militarize borders. 33.1% 986
Borders should be closed. 15.7% 467
Immigration should be reduced. 10.1% 300
Borders should be open. 4.1% 121
Immigration is not a big issue. 3.4% 101
100.2% 2,983

Any article that clearly documents the costs or the breakdown in the rule of law caused by illegal aliens usually stays FROBL-free. The celebrate the costs and breakdown, but can't make it too obvious.

"Tapscott was on the Ron Smith radio show on WBAL, Baltimore yesterday and Smith couldn't believe this either. "


Really? I'm on the other coast,is Ron Smith knowledgeable about illegal immigration?

If we lose our ability to access FOIA documents, that is not good. I hate thinking the same people are running justice that ran it under Reno. They're not running it much different now it seems. And I liked Ashcroft. I don't think they know much of what goes on below them. Oh, heck, I don't know what to think anymore.

WARNING: This column will make you very angry!

You are correct...I AM ANGRY....GRRRRRR!!!

(3) releasing the data would "constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of (the convicted illegal aliens') personal privacy."

What a pack of morons....invasion of privacy?  What about their illegal INVASION....

What about MEGAN'S LAW...ain't no invasion to put up the photos and addresses of PERVS....so certainly the ILLEGAL ALIENS have no rights....

We are doomed with this type of thinking....

The BUSH-BOT "Let um' all in" ZOTS" will be a-flying I presume.....

All its takes is a few braves... or some really pissed off squaws...
