Why any beds..it should be a cage....why do we have to hear it in front of a judge....we are so stupid...call his embassy and say you have 100 or so here to pick up...and they are getting very thirsty and hungry...and then escort them out of the country...it seems HUMANE ENOUGH for me...enough is the key word
It is total insanity -- derived straight from Washington, which is totally out of control, are really cares less about the impact of its malfeasance and its dysfunctional mode of operation, which only serves its own politics, and not America.
It just gets more ugly by the day now.
I don't know why you folks keep posting to these threads. Nothing is going to be done and it's time to simply adjust to the situation and keep on going. The only alternative is a rebellion -- you'll be killed. Other than that, the big boys want them here for cheap labor and that's it.
It's almost like Washington is expecting everyone to forget and move on. I think they feel people will get sick of the story and eventually let it go. I can not remember a time in history when Washington was as out of touch with the voters as they are now.
Look at my post #5. You are exactly correct in your statement. Washington expects the voters to get sick of the story and move on. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!
The "big boys" keep power by keeping the people distracted and passive. They tell us that nothing can be done with the status quo, so just lie back and enjoy it.
It might be too late for a lot of anti-illegal activists to run this year because the primaries were half over before the fecal missile hit the fan, but if the problem isn't being relieved by 2008, I can see a lot of people running and winning on an anti-immigration (both legal and illegal) platform.
Not gonna happen. Get used to that. And adjust.
"Washington expects the voters to get sick of the story and move on. AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!!"
Correct.
Just keep on calling and writing to the congress critters about that Senate Immigration Bill.
There should be no let up.
Good to remind them we are the ones who's votes they are going to need in November, not the votes of Mexicans.
Sorry, I don't cave.
Ugly to the bone!
Those who want to do something about the illegal immigration problem are so outnumbered, outinfluenced and outfinanced (they've already robbed us blind) that almost nothing will be done other than "window dressing" legislation. You're going to see 25-30 million illegal immigrants granted "amnesty" and on the path to citizenship. No other alternative is viable.
I'm not saying that you do or should, per se. It's just that getting upset and staying upset over something you can not and will not fix is pointless. These guys and gals who want them here are filthy rich and influential and they see us as slave labor. We will simply have no choice but to work for the low wages they are willing to pay us.
Nor do I ~ Bump!
It's just that I've been fighting this fight for far too long to simply accept what a few among many want.
In the days leading up to the last presidential election I said I would vote for Bush but I was going to go after him and anybody else on the illegal immigration issue after the election. I can't back down now.
Her voice was soft and her manners gentle and beautiful. I detected an edge of worry in her.
I ask her if she were originally from here. She replied, "No, I lived in El Paso, before I came here. That's where my son was born."
I inferred that she is an illegal alien and that her son, now a teenager, is a U.S. citizen.
She seemed overly eager to do a good job, and I felt that this was the reason.
As I sat there, I couldn't help feeling the desire to protect someone like her. I think most people would.
I did not pursue the subject with her, but I did ponder the subject of illegal immigration.
With some reluctance, I think President Bush is right. I don't see how we can deport people like that.
She needs her job. Where would she find a job back in Mexico (if that's where she came from)? Her son is a U.S. citizen. Would we send her back and not him? Disrupt them? Take her job? Pull him out of school?
I'll buy her a bus ticket to the nearest border anytime she wants. I never feel sorry for law breakers -- especially those that willfully break our laws.
But you can fix it, like they did in Herndon VA and the California 50th. Nothing gets a politician's attention faster than losing an election.
Really, no choice?!? How about this....
"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."In your previous post you said, "The only alternative is a rebellion -- you'll be killed." Yes - maybe so. However, see tag line below. I believe those words.Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.
In addition, as long as we have the 2nd Amendment ... well... Tyrants of all stripes better beware.
