Mexicans are most often referred to when the subject of illegal immigrations cimes up. Without looking it up, what percentage of illegal aliens do you think come from Mexico?

So we "need" imigrants because we natives are too "proud" to work in factories, pubs, McDonalds, as care assistants, cleaners etc.

I'm a native Briton with a University degree. I have done pub work, waitressing, cleaning and shop work when I needed to and there was nothing else.

My BF is trained mechanic as due to a shortage of jobs in the field is working as a barman on minimum wage.

I know LOADS of native Britons who are hospital cleaners, van drivers, bar staff, care assistants, work in MaccyD's etc. Most of them would prefer to earn £150-£200 a week in this way than scrape by on £59.50 dole a week.

Plus they stop your dole if you "refuse" work.

Any other "natives" who have done this kind of work? I know I can't be alone!!!

they give unsubstantiated and absurd "facts" in their answers (or just hurl insults) but you can NEVER contact them to ask them for their 'sources'!

When we were in a crunch he allowed his oil prices to be drastically reduced in order for poor people to be able to afford it. But wasn't that just a way of buying support?

One of the standard neo-con replies to criticism of President Bush is that you should move to a country where you like the leadership. Wonder where they all moved to during the Clinton Administration?

How many young Americans today are ready and willing to stand up and fight against the government that has broken more constitutional laws ever? Would you rather go fight in Iraq (Iran coming soon so get ready) for a cause in which the president lied and was proven wrong (no WMD's were ever found...hence Sadaam was never a threat)....or would you rather get together as true Americans, stand up and fight in getting your country back?

Intelligent answers please..even if you disagree.
Any fat-pricks that want to answer with ignorance be my guest for the rest of the world to see who'd stay at home like ******* and choose to ***** all they want but would be last to go to Iraq.

A friend and I are debating that the electric chair is unconstitutional. We need some supporting ideas on why or why not this is true. (It is for a high school government class.)

We also need facts and supporting work on the internet or in books that will help us. The project is due on Tuesday.

I think the advancment of hate towards american Muslims has grown a whole lot. But i can only think of one explanation for this, the generalisation of the actions of few terrorists on the entire muslim population. As many claim that Islam is hated because it is built on murder and hate of other religions and races, as a result I studied the religeon of Islam through the Muslim holy book, which is called the Quran, only to find that there is nothing there about killing or hate towards other civilisations and religeons, which has now lead me to believe that those who are hating Islam and its followers are complete bigots and base their opinions on ignorance alone. So then, is it pure racism towards them? Are they hated simpley becuase those who hate them want to hate them? I am not living in america, so i would be interested in knowing an answer for this question.

I heard on the news today that the legislature must make a decision in the next few days to pass or kill this bill that would become law.
The penalties for driving and using a cell phone at the same time are $10 for the first offense and $20 for each additional violation.
It doesnt even add a point to the persons driving record.

This bill is so watered down in that the penalties are too weak and nobody will change their habits.
There is nothing that says that the ear piece has to be in the right ear instead of the left. In years past, it was forbidden to wear ear pieces in the left ear since that was the ear closest to the window. The theory was that it would be easier to hear car horns and emergency sirens.

People will still pick up the phone to dial phone numbers even if they are wearing a handsfree device.
People will still pick up the phone to answer an incoming phone call.
This is such a weak bill that it is a waste of time.

What do you think?

i believe in some of what hitlor was doing, but i dont think people should be singled out for race, i think people should be killed if they are in the bottom half in aperance, intelligence, and physical fitness, i think we need to evolve as a species, im tired of anyone being able to have children, if this process were repeated several times, the world would have increadible people, stupid people are having more children than smart people and eventually all of earths people will be dumb-asses, its time we make the world a better place

Just heard the president say we cannot leave Iraq in its current situation. I whole-heartily agree with his comments and the rah- rah he was getting from the people in attendance was sort of fake, but understandably. What I don't hear him talk about is that with two forces, US military and Iraqis we are seriously struggling against insurgents who are relentless. How they will never all die and how they will continue to come into Iraq to fight. If we stay there, they never are going to stop coming regardless what anyone says. God Bless our forces, but they are fighting an endless war, where we will win battles and scatter them....but enemy will ultimately return.
Let's announcement a timeline and get out within two years. The Iraqi people will figure it out. It may take decades, but they will make it work.

A custodian at Saguaro High School accused of raping a 14-year-old girl on the Scottsdale campus is an illegal immigrant from Mexico and shouldn’t have been eligible to work in the United States, an immigration official said Wednesday.Russell Ahr, a spokesman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the paperwork that Roberto Lemus-Retana provided to ABM Janitorial Services, the company that contracts with the Scottsdale Unified School District, is counterfeit.Or, there is a possibility Lemus-Retana was using someone else’s name and Social Security number, Ahr said.
Since the incident, the district has run its own background check on Lemus-Retana’s Social Security number, and asked Scottsdale police to do the same, Peterson said. But neither the district’s nor the police’s background check indicated he was in the country illegally, Peterson said.
Lemus-Retana had been arrested in Mohave County on suspicion of driving under the influence May 14, and supplied a driver’s license at the time. He was removed by U.S. Border Patrol agents four days later from that county’s jail to be returned to Mexico, Ahr said. The ICE spokesman could not confirm that Lemus-Retana left the United States.

Lemus-Retana didn’t have a Social Security number and was not a U.S. citizen when he was arrested May 14, and he shouldn’t have had a valid one when he was hired by ABM, Ahr said. “Anyone can go into a swap market and get certified documents,” Ahr said. “Someone gave him a Social Security number, loaned him one, he made one up or he went to the flea market and bought one.”

Abraham Lincoln stated, “I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me, and causes me to tremble for the safety of our country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people, until wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed.”

The small, but ruthless, group of men, the “money power” described by Lincoln, has stolen democracy from the American people. An ever-growing number of informed Americans, however, are fighting a brave, but desperate rear-guard action to retrieve that democracy. Will we give them our total support now, or simply sit back and watch as the entire planet is taken back to the dark ages? “The only thing necessary for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing.”
