Can a man be awarded overnight visitation for his 3 year old if he has not tried to see her in over a year and a half nor sent any money to help with her? And he live with his girlfriend in her 1 bedroom apartment that is in her parent's name. I am just asking because I am the mother of this precious 3 year old girl and am aslo happily married now, and need to know if he can legally get upfront overnight visitation even though it has been a long time and she does not know him. And he doesn't have his own place but lives with his young girlfriend in her 1 bedroom apt. that her parents signed for her to get. Please help?

I know, I normally try to rile evryone up. But one serious question. Please give one concrete example of how an illegal immigrant has directly hurt you. None of this economy and law BS. I want a direct example of how you have been negatively effected by an illegal immigrant!

I'm just wondering why illegal immigrants are beeing "detained" Does that mean they will be deported? Are they just going to start loccating illegals and aresting/deporting them on the spot?

and do what they do best sell arms and nukes etc to the arabs so that they can kill themselves. the british did this for many years- arming saddam hussien and the americans sponsored the taliban in afganistan to kick out the russians. so why cant usa and uk do the same?

I think it would be a lot better for the US if we had more major political parties. The big problem with the two party system we have now is that there are only two sides to choose from and often they sound almost exactly the same.

I just watched a report from beruit in lebanon and it does not look good , a downtown area of apartments and retail stores and some offices heavily bombed.LEBANON people are vowing now to fight to the death rather then live under the constant threat of attack.HAS the excessive support of Israel made the region unstable to the point of people attacking with nothing more then stones and knifes against f-16 fighter jets , cruise missles and apache helicopters.
THESE people in lebanon seem completely convinced to fight to the ddeath at this point.what have we done. what have we done.

He didn't even flinch when he was "privately" speaking with Tony Blair. I was very impressed. He sounded confident and matter-of-fact about where he stands, as he always has, but without the stagefright.

In the immigration debate, pundits rarely discuss the issue of American-born peasants. Yes, that word seems negative, but we need to have an honest discussion about America's lower classes. How did we ever get to a place where not working is an option? My rural, mostly-white county has 11% unemployment, yet we also have a huge influx of undocumented workers. Many among the US poor are now too obese to work and many who do perpetrate exaggerated workmen's comp cases.

And what of the immigrants' children? They won't take those low-paying jobs: their expectations will be like everyone else here, so within our current paradigm we must continue importing and exploiting workers. It's a pyramid scheme. Isn't this all about economic imperialism and a race to the bottom at the expense of workers worldwide?

What about jacking up pay and benefits to agricultural and other low-wage workers, stop hiring illegals, and insist that America's poor and unemployed actually work? Too Draconian?

I was trying to get him a promotion but I don't know where to write to. Then somebody told me he might be a commie working out of North Korea. Does any body know for sure? I am a little suspicious of letting him be a part of this complete breakfast.

Is that where all the blind rage is coming from.
You know the whole "let's get em before they get us" thing?
Is that why they act tough in their grown up life.
Seems most bullies from high school grow up and live decently, maybe it's the opposite for them.. huh?

Ok, so here are my thoughts.
There are some 3 year old kids playing Barbie's together when suddenly both of them go to grab the same barbie dress. They pull and tug until one of them jumps on the other and they start to hit each other and pull each others hair. The children have just begun a little "war" between each other.

And here today we have grown adults behaving in a way no better than these 3 year olds. A war has erupted over greed and money and so our president thinks what better way to solve this than a war. they pull out their guns, fill up their tanks, and pack up the grenades. And off they go to destroy a country and kill millions of inasant kids and adults.

My point of view is that all this could be solved by creating a meeting room and chatting over the problem with officials. This dream I know is anything but realistic in the world we live in today. But why could this have not been an idea before the war began? It's definetly more mature and humane. thanks
