Thank you. Sometimes I wonder if I communicate effectively via the written word. It's nice to know that I got through to at least one person. :o)
Yeah, I think 4 or 5 probably got it ;-)
And you know this to be true for most of them? Maybe you'd better ask those American citizens who have had a family member killed by an illegal behind the wheel, or those whose children have been offered drugs by one of them, or those who had to wait hours in a hospital emergency room because it was flooded with them. And, no our government does not have "better things to do" than track down people who illegally cross our borders. The Open Door Policy is long over.
I'm gonna keep a copy of this picture locally. Thanks, JP.
I think catching terrorists and, you know, actual criminals are more important, for starters. I have also wondered how many illegal aliens have killed American citizens. According to MADD.org: "in 2004, 16,694 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes . . ."
http://www.madd.org/stats/1112
So, even if all 16,694 were U.S. citizens killed by drunk illegal aliens, yes, I think it is safe to assume MOST (more than 1/2) of all illegal aliens are not killing U.S. citizens. Same goes with drug dealers (in fact, I would venture to guess MOST drug dealers are U.S. citizens - my sister is LAPD in South Central so I will ask her if she knows) and hospital ERs.
It's not in my top 100 either, and I live in southern California - is that "close enough" for you?
I posted the actual numbers above (if you can't get the link to work) which included not just the deportation stats, but also other "formal removals" and "voluntary departures" - that all added up to more than 6 million illegal aliens expelled since Bush took office - let's just say that it is a hypothetical: would 6 million in 6 years at least be more than "nothing"?
You never did answer my question above whether you were being sarcastic - you really think Tancredo can be elected POTUS?!
Here they are again: I was asking if your post # 1600 was sarcastic and whether there has ever been a POTUS elected directly from the U.S. House of Representatives?
Good post.
And I agree that one factors in the importance of the illegal immigration issue in one's life IS if one has been "mugged" or not.
There are many non empathetics in this country but fewer and fewer each day.
And it's too bad that many are being punished for merely being the messengers.
BTTT
There is always a first time. As a lawyer you should learn that valuable tenet.
So, your post # 1600 was not sarcastic then? Good to know.
P.S. I don't think I've ever had a temper tantrum here at FR - ask anyone - I'm pretty calm considering.
Thanks for the lesson - you still have not shown where I called anyone here a terrorist.
Do you understand what "your posts were deleted" means?
