I know what you mean and I too don't like the left turn but in most parts and where I live, it trancends politics for the most part....you would never know anyone's politics for the most part and it is just a wonderful community

Yes, that the one.

you don't know how to BBQ until you have learned from a Texan.

My grown children live in Texas and when they visit home in Memphis the first meal they want is BBQ. They claim BBQ can't be found in Texas.

I wonder if there is some (common) factor not mentioned in the report?

It's the same factor that is bankrupting California government, driving a wedge into the Republican Party and will be one of the litmus issues in the 2008 elections.

If anyone really believes that the problem is illegal immigrants why don't you get your local police to bust the employers of illegal aliens?

The Bush administration has reversed federal interpretation of immigration laws and now says that state and local police can enforce immigration laws.

The CBP will even train your local police to enforce immigration law.

Instead of bitching about Bush why don't y'all do something constructive and demand that your local mayors and police chiefs bust your own local employers of illegals?

Uh, because an invasion of foreign nationals is a Federal issue, and because the President has Executive power that includes Federal law enforcement.

Bankruptcy is a Federal crime too, but the local police are the first responders and usually the apprehenders. Same for kidnapping.

If you really think the illegal immigrants are a serious problem you would let your local police close the demand by busting employers.

However if your agenda is only attacking President Bush you will throw up every excuse you can to justify them not doing it.

I would, but I am too busy trying to eradicate my house's termite infestation with a magnifying glass and a set of tweezers.
