Just look at that stupid illegal immigrant in Chicago, holed up in a church because she got caught without her papers. Present U.S. anchor baby "policy" is an abuse of the 14th Amendment. This amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the civil rights of native-born black Americans, who had recently been freed from slavery and whose rights were being denied.Most of the countries of the world do not have automatic birth citizenship, including free nations like Australia and the U.K. Just because a child is born here that should not automatically guarantee that person becomes a citizen -- especially when the parents broke the law to get here in the first place.

If you have time, read this short article by an American living in Mexico on the subject:

I am working to have a felony drug offense possibly expunged or sealed in kentucky. I was told that I may first want to file a motion to vacate the plea but it has been 5 years as of july. So I also need to know if anyone knows the statute of limitations regarding the time limit to file the motion to vacate as well. The case involved domestic violence with me being the victim and ended with a trafficking charge due to me not being willing to testify against my abuser. I am currently enrolled in a criminal justice program and will graduate in June '07 but cannot enter the field with my charge. Ky has a 5 year wait for expungements after all time is served. For me that will not be completed til Oct '06. I really want to be able to help other women who have been abused and would appreciate any assistance in this matter.

Hi I am just looking for some intelligent and reasonable ideas on both sides here. I respectfully request if you are gonna rant to either be somewhat logical or go somewhere else.

Do you believe freedom is more important or is feeling safe and please tell me why.

1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed
to the government's policies or actions.
9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Just found out that while women are not allowed to hold combat MOS (jobs) they are put into combat zones. So they can be shot at and blown up but they are not allowed to have jobs that make them more combat ready than the normal basic training. ????

Let's face it: Osama bin Laden, holed up in his cave somewhere, must be laughing at us. He's calling the shots, and he really doesn't have to lift a finger. Why? Duh-Bya is doing his bidding. His administration has suspended many civil liberties and deftly defied the U.S. Constitution. Junked the Geneva Convention. Tortured prisoners. Oversaw criminal acts at Abu Ghraib. Ignored due process at Guantanamo. Engaged in domestic spying without court supervision. Flushed billions down the toilet in Iraq. Weakened our military readiness. Set much of the world against us. The Middle East is now ablaze in terrorism. At home, we live constantly in "elevated fear" levels (whether color coded or not). Our internal politics have become poisonously divided, not united. Mostly, he has let the terrorists fundamentally alter our freedoms…since he dwells upon and exploits the very fears that the terrorists want to insinuate into our lives. So why do you people still support him? Is the brain washing that profound?

lets set iraq aside.

terrorism is a people problem, F18s and tanks are not the way to fight terrorism. infiltrating terrorist cells is how to defeat them, yet the US has to date discharged over 55 arab translators because they were suspected of being gay.....this policy is counterproductive.

if we are going to spend so much on the military the gov should at least announce what country we are planning to invade with our money

I just saw a quote from the Boston Globe dated 4/30/2006.

"President Bush has quietly claimed the authority to disobey more than 750 laws"

Just how many laws do we have?

He was up North for heaven's sake, checking out security there. The man can't be in two places at once. He hasn't attended a lot of events for the same reason - he was somewhere else. I didn't see Bush there either - or Tony Blair. So what makes the Aids Conference #1 in importance?

FOR years america has enforced oil embargo's on Irq Iran AND others in the middle east to control the price of oil .
THIS has been done in large part to prop up a failing american dollar and is the reason that today we are far worse off then we where 40 years ago .
THIS does not mean to say that we have not advanced our industries and have stopped growing as a nation but we have created a nation of people divided along economic lines with many people falling to be able to support families .
Today the average home now has two incomes and this is because of inflation caused by a failing american dollar and if oil prices began to drop people would see a real decline in the purchasing power of the american dollar on the world market and this is the main reason we must continue to control the world supply of oil .
Without srict control oil prices would fall and this would create a disaster for american dollars world wide .
Inflation would begin to skyrocket and a new depression would begin
