Yep, Twodees is correct. Arleigh is gone.
Arleigh: 6/22/2000 to 8/20/2002
Sad, Tempest got away with inciting a flame war.
What was that he said? Call yourselves the "kill the outsiderz party."
To: Joe Hadenuf
Well, I guess since I'm off-white maybe I'm safe for awhile. ;-) Don't let it bug you or shut you up. This invasion is serious. If we get booted for talking about it, that's just how it goes. I don't intend to start going to the swoonfest threads and drooling over pics. ahaha

I just lowered my biweekly donation to this site in protest.

On my survey from the Republican Party I x'ed out the survey questions and wrote a note over it to see the attached. Stapled on top of it was a note stating that I was more concerned about the lack of immigration policies for reasons of safety from terrorists and the rising costs associated with providing medical care and education for the illegals. I reminded them that amnesty is part of the problem and not the solution. I returned it without a check with a comment that my vote is waiting for someone who has the guts to say enough to PC.

We should change and enforce the laws so that we have no legal or illegal immigrants who refuse to learn English, who have no education, who cannot afford their own health insurance or food or housing. We're letting in way too many criminals, indigents, and other losers who require billions of taxpayer dollars. We're seeing county hospitals all along the border on the edge of bankrupcy ---it's getting to a critical point. No problem here at all with common sense requirements for immigration like economic viability. Nor do I have a problem with keeping criminals, or those from hostile nations out of the country. Anyone, whether they come here, or were born here, should be expected to take care of themselves. Welfare for the able bodied is pure evil. Thinnly disguised theft at the absolute best.
I can't agree with you about making an English a requirement. I believe English is necessary, but I'm more comfortable with societal pressure and market forces pushing English than I am government fiat. We don't need an Academe` France` making a laughing stock out of us in a pathetic attempt to protect our language. Leave that to the French.

I agree, with one point of dispute- I don't consider a potential. I consider it a guarantee.
To: 4Freedom
Yep, Twodees is correct. Arleigh is gone.A sad day. He was silenced. But this thread was appropriate. It is becoming clear that this immigration crisis and the lack of Republican concern is off limits.....
To: Twodees
It always the same clique of people......

What will make you happy? When we're 0%?

I can't handle my own problems, I'm a VICTIM!

That's the whole idea......

"It's always the same clique of people..." I hate to say it, but we're going to have to be the ones to press the abuse button first. We'll have to nail them when they get here with their childish attempts to bait us into flame wars.

We'll see Alaska.

English should be a requirement of citizenship. The government also needs to stop promoting separate languages, there should be no bilingual education, very young children can learn English very quickly, older children should have been prepared by their own parents before deciding to move to the US. I wouldn't consider moving my children to country with another language without getting them a couple classes in that language --that would be irresponsible and we don't need irresponsible immigrants either.
I like Spanish actually ---I like speaking it when I travel to Mexico. It's easy to learn, I wish I had time to learn other languages also ---but the point is we need a common language if we ever hope to be a united people.
