Mexico is already patrolling their SOUTHERN borders so why is it such a big deal when we decide to do it? They pay coffee plantation workers $3.50 a MONTH, how is that right? It just seems kinda hypacritcal for Mexico to act like the US is some big jerk when they treat people the way they do. Anybody have any answers or opinions?BTW I don't think we need to ship all the illigal immagrants back but I do think something needs to be done, not sure what and that's the problem.

“Privilege or Entitlement?

It seems to me, that at some point in our nations history, we shifted from the "Land of Opportunity" to the "Land of Entitlement." All too often I hear folks complain that the government "owes" them, or the government should be "helping." This line of thought irks me.

I am going to throw this last part in, because I am concerned that this question might transition to some kind of racial or gender issue. Race or gender has nothing to do with my above thoughts. There are women and men, white folks, african american folks, latino folks and on and on, who have been proactive and acted as though America is a land of opportunity and made a great life for themselves. And there are all of the mentioned groups who have done the opposite; threw their lives away and yelled at the government for not helping.

(And please, I am aware that Hurricane Katrina was a debacle that didn't make this question easy to ask)

What are your thoughts?”

After we send home the illegal immigrants, let's start turning away unproductive immigrants. Historically, immigrants were turned away if they could not prove they could become a productive member of our society (i.e. did they have a good trade/skill that we could use here?). If they didn't have a viable skill, or there skill was currently not available in the work force, they were sent home. Nowadays, anyone can come here and start collecting government money that will allow them to get by without a job. It's a meager means of living but it's still cash out of your pocket and mine.

Why are the least paid Americans footing the majority of the bill for these programs? Very few, if any, other countries have programs like we do. Why can a woman have five children, each from different fathers, stay at home and get more tax free money than a newly graduated college student?

GIs may have planned Iraq rape, slayings By RYAN LENZ, Associated Press Writer
Sat Jul 1, 6:54 AM.


BEIJI, Iraq - Investigators believe a group of U.S. soldiers suspected of raping an Iraqi woman, then killing her and three members of her family plotted the attack for nearly a week, a U.S. military official said Saturday.


Up to five soldiers are being investigated in the March killings, the fifth pending case involving alleged slayings of Iraqi civilians by U.S. troops.

The Americans entered the Sunni Arab's family home, separated three males from the woman, raped her and burned her body using a flammable liquid in a cover-up attempt, a military official close to the investigation said. The three males were also slain.

"This is the American Way"!! reported one troop as he left the home with arms in the air as he yelled "Victory!! The Military will investigate.

My daughter who is in the air force is completing a school and will be going on to the next phase of training across country. She has 5 days to get there. She would be allowed to have her car at her new duty station so planned on flying home (which is on the way) and getting her car, then driving the rest of the way, which is only about an 8 hour drive. However She is being given an airline ticket to her new location. When I was in the service when you changed duty stations they gave you travel pay and how you got there was your business. Has that changed or is this just because she's still "in training"?

Outsourcing--factory jobs moved to China or call center operations sent to India...

NAFTA led to the loss of 500,000 U.S. jobs between its launch in 1994 and 2002, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.

A separate study by Robert Scott of the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) found that some 879,000 U.S. jobs disappeared as a result of NAFTA.

INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY is the only way workers can avoid being pitted against one another in trade wars between governments. The international labor opposition to the World Trade Organization and the Free Trade Area of the Americas show the potential for such a strategy.

I find it funny that so many "neo-con" lovers are all for Golbalization (of markets, ie free trade) but at the same time can't deal with what that means - so called "illegal immigrants" if you pass trade deals like NAFTA labor is fluid, that is globalization folks! It is a double standard to be anti-immigrant and also pro-privitization without borders.

Everyone wonders why the government won't do anything about all the illegals. Is it because the ultimate goal of our president and his cronies is to give away our standard of living completely?

Our government seems oblivious to the fact that many Middle Easterners do not see the huge difference between our actions and those of the terrorists. They think there is some moral equivalency. When our soldiers are attacked, they say we're just reaping what we sow.

How can we get these people to understand that we are trying to promote freedom, democracy, and respect for human rights so that they can have a better life? Why can't they get it through their heads that we WANT to leave these countries as soon as they are strong enough to sustain, govern, and police themselves?

I am an American soldier currently stationed in Iraq. I have spoked a few times with some of the people of this country. They believe that if the US and its allies were to ever pull out of here that Iran and Syria would come in and take them over in a matter of weeks. Over 80% of the population of Iraq wants us here and believes that we are doing them a great service. Why is it that the American people are so caught up in saying that President Bush only came here for oil, and can't see that we really are making a difference in these people's lives?
