JAM THE LINES. LET THEM HEAR OUR ANGER AND FURY.
300 million additional applications for "Z" Visa's ought to help shut it all down. Blackbird.
Do you see the media report on this topic without political spin? Only a very few. The negatives we espouse are swept under the rug.
In short, I believe that the last 30 yrs. or more are absolute evidence that our politicians have not taken their oath or responsibilities seriously. It’s time for a pay cut. And a benefit cut. When they begin to take their fiduciary responsibilities seriously then we can talk. And anyway where does it state in any document from the founders or any writings that these individuals should be compensated so highly. I didn't know PUBLIC SERVICE was to be rewarded so greatly. I thought it was for an individual to make an impact on policy not my pocketbook.
We are seeing those signs in Colorado too. I wonder if it is a nationwide campaign tied in with TV ads and cereal box promotions.
This is how they grab power. They mandate by law something that makes common sense. How can you argue against seat belts? Now they are telling us what we can eat and how much water we can have in our toilets.

Here in fairyland also. It’s an opening for them to search your vehicle if you don’t look quite right.
At this moment, yes he does. But after four to eight years of Hillary's misrule, who knows. Remember how nostalgic the sheeple were for the son of Bush after eight years of Bill's misrule?
I suspect with a big chunk of Mexico living and voting here (if those demonstrations flying the Mexican flag get the illegals made legal in a couple of months, I think they'll be voting maybe by '08, perhaps illegally, but certainly legally by '16) and we'll see our first Mexican-born El Presidente. Wonder if the Canadians are ready for it? Probably, since they're much more progressive than we are.
Did you see the poll that says ONLY half of Mexico wants to come here at the present time?
Is that because the other half is already here?
I'd be a lot more open to immigration if Mexico would take some of our lazy, white liberals in return. It would be nice if La Raza wasn't so racist as to be willing to discuss such an exchange. It would save the marijuana growers a bundle in shipping costs too.
Mexico will not be entering the Olympics anymore, because everyone that can run, jump, swim, or crawl is already in the USA.
I really meant that from the standpoint of ethics and morality, i.e. why should I obey the law when literally tens of millions will get a largely free ride for not having done so. I agree that spending time in prison is a good reason not to do certain things, and I'm not serious about breaking the laws in question.
But I'd love to see one of the pro-amnesty pols answer that or a similar question.
Oh, and IF I was REALLY going to break the law, I wouldn't be stupid enough to simultaneously announce it and leave behind evidence of premeditation.
Everywhere in the mid-atlantic too. Methinks across the Nation.

Agreed; but seriously, the question is, who is "them"?
As to morality, experience should be a guide as well as a reminder. One’s personal experience should help make these decisions, but seeing what happens to others gives a lot more examples since there are many more others than yourself. Sometimes history can help, too, although there are probably more examples of atrocious behavior than benevolent. There’s a lot of material to study and even then it comes down to what you decide. There is also the possibility of eternal punishment in the fifth ring of hell, but then again maybe that’s just a story.
Best just be good. Granted it is no guarantee of a happy or long life, but the odds are better.
Adios America, bienvenidos Amexica.
I try...but what is "good." Oh, I know, there are immutable laws on important things like not murdering others, etc. I don't have a problem with them - and don't even need a law to tell me what to do (or not to do, as the case may be). I have a problem with legislated, victimless "crimes" like going 60 in a 55 zone, not being able to legally buy the same guns my father or grandfathers could, etc. Ideally speaking, of course, everyone should obey all laws, and all laws should be just and reasonable, and also impartially enforced. When the laws aren't just or reasonable, when they aren't enforced (or only against the little guy, or against certain targeted segments of society), and when many or most others don't obey them, well then I have a very hard time doing what "should" be done. Besides, if we are a democracy (of sorts - I know, we're really a Republic), and people "vote" by essentially flipping the bird to the idiots in DC or in state capitals for passing stupid laws that are arbitrarily enforced, isn't that kind of the way things are supposed to work?+
Same might be said of logic. Law has a logic of its own.
Orange trees are not particularly closely related to apple trees.
Great idea, the exchange. LOL!
The further from morality any particular law is - especially if it has little rational basis (in the logical sense of that phrase, not the Constitutional Law sense), the less likely the average person is to obey it. Witness Prohibition and the 55 MPH speed limit. All that laws like those do is to encourage contempt for ALL laws.
