You'll never get us deported so why not just make us citizens so we can pay the taxes you complain we don't pay and not take the low-paying jobs you claim we take (we'll be taking the higher paying jobs now ha ha ha).

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

ok so i didn't mean to piss anyone off and if i did too bad.... i live in minnesota and have worked for a major taxi company for the past 3 years... and all of the charity groups that PAY for the taxi fare are for people that you can't even pronounce their names... we are haveing to close schools cause there is not enough money to go around and here we are paying anywhere from $50 to $500 bucks a day (A DAY!!) so these people can go to doctors appts and all sorts of stuff... (Maybe put that money into our schools and houseing for people that need it...?)Thats a free ride for them and its coming out of taxpayers pockets.. instead all this free medical insurance for foreiners and "tax free for 7 years" why not make them pay taxes... all i am saying is we can't support our own and its not our fault that they were born in some poor 3rd world country, so why can they come here and start turing America into one??

My husband is currently deployed in Iraq, he's set to get out of the Marines in July of next year. He'd like to reenlist, but only if he can stay in one place for at least 3 years (basically get out of the fleet and have a smaller chance of continually being deployed). He's already spoken with his career counselor about being a MEF instructor in Camp Pendleton but the hours are ridiculously long, and he would have to stay out in the field at least one out of every three days. He's been looking into it as much as he has a chance to while in Iraq, and I'm trying to find out as much information as I can here. Anyone know of something he can look into, even if it's in a different branch?

How come no one stands up for Americans. We dont get anything free, Americans born and raised in America have to work till they are 65 years of age to qualify for any social security, and not mention we dont get full medicare, only 80% coverage when we turn 65. All the years prior we have to pay for insurance out of pocket. If you are a immigrant you get 100% medical insurance, subsidized housing and food stamps and can get on welfare, that is NOT FAIR. Immigrants have more rights than those born and raised in America ,WHY??? and why nothing done about it?? Americans have to pay 20% hospital bills after the age of 65 and that is very expensive unles they themselves pay for there own secondary insurance, NOT FAIR FOR AMERICANS

So many letter writers have based their arguments on how this land is made
up of immigrants. Ernie Lujan for one, suggests we should tear down the
Statue of Liberty because the people now in question aren't being treated
the same as those who passed through Ellis Island and other ports of entry.
Maybe we should turn to our history books and point out to people like Mr.
Lujan why today's American is not willing to accept this new kind of
immigrant any longer. Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all 20 areas
of Europe to come to the United States, people had to get off a ship and
stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get
down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to
uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times.
They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households
and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.
They had waved good bye to their birth place to give their children a new
life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate
into one culture.
Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to
protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had
brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity. Most of their
children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along
side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany, Italy, France
and Japan. None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought
about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans
fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending
the United States of America as one people. When we liberated France, no
one in those villages were looking for the French-American or the German
American or the Irish American. The people of France saw only Americans.
And we carried one flag that represented one country. Not one of those
immigrant sons would have thought about picking up another country's flag
and waving it to represent who they were. It would have been a disgrace to
their parents who had sacrificed so much to be here. These immigrants truly
knew what it meant to be an American. They stirred the melting pot into one
red, white and blue bowl.
And here we are in 2006 with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same
rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a
different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a
guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I'm sorry, that's not
what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who
landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900's deserve better than that for all
the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a
land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better
life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example
by those waving foreign country flags.
And for that suggestion about taking down the Statue of Liberty, it happens to mean a lot to the citizens who are voting on the immigration bill. I
wouldn't start talking about dismantling the United States just yet.

to spend time with family and friends. Family should come first before work. Everyone would have the same day off Expect for certain jobs like police, medical, and fire. We can't get away with that. This is not a religious question, Remember I said any day, could be sunday, monday, tuesday etc. I just think it would be good if people could take a break and one day a week everything would close down. People would argue with me saying that it would hurt the economy, but does it really, and if it does which is more important family or work?? You only live one life.

I don't want to hear paranoid rants about GWB, I want legitimate answers for how America can pull itself out of the mess its in with terrorism, national debt, etc. And no, the neither the Democrats or the Republicans are the answer.

Here's a couple suggestions to get you started:

1.) Secure the borders.

2.) Halt immigration from Islamic nations

3.) Cut goverment spending

4.) Pull out the the UN (they are impotent to solve problems and mock us even though we are the main financial supporter)

etc. etc.

If you're an idiot, don't bother answering please.

Shop around, find places and contractors who don't traffic in that sort of illegal activity. Don't hire businesses that use cheap, illegal labor and don't use their services. It's your little way of making things better and living a life of quality and honesty. Any other ideas?

We have seen it quite frequently.
In CNG conversion of Autos and Buses in Delhi Ministers and various parties made lot of noise that it was not possible to arrange buses immediately and they wanted extensions again and again. But Supreme court took a stand in the favour common man to reduce vehicular pollution and ultimately it paid. Now you can feel the difference while driving in delhi.

Now again political parties are coming together against illegal construction / encroachment sealing drive.

But first thing that the laws are not new which the court is trying to implement. So all illegal construction was wrong and carried out with the help of local authorities. But it was still clear in the mind of both that it was wrong. So the court has taken a stand to correct all the wrongs done by authorities and people. If it is not done now the feeling that will come out will be, that " whatever wrong you do you can get away with it" . We have to stop it NOW OR IT WON'T BE DONE EVER.

The Bible says that working on sunday is a sin punished by stoning, and the same for cutting your hair. Why don't they picket Wal-Mart? Also, according to god, if a man attacks a pregnant woman and the mother dies, then its murder, but if only the fetus dies, its not murder.......I guess God is down with abortion, but not with Wal-Mart......anyone else VERY confused?

With the increasing rates of police corruption and police brutality we need to stop this evil.

Can honest citizens perform a citizens arrest on bad cops.

Let's say if we see a police officer molesting a child or beating a minority to death how can we intervene.

If we don't how can we consciously live with ourselves knowing that we allowed evil to thrive.

Please let me know my rights?

Thank you and God Bless You.

Mr. Maher Arar from Ottawa Canada was considered a High Level Terrorist Threat, handed over to The US and then moved to Syria and tortured in a secret American CIA Prison for over a year. Mr. Arar was found INNOCENT and released ... he is now sueing for damages.

The Bush Administration speaks negatively of Syria, even after Syrians died to protect the American Embassy last month, and now we find out about this CIA Prison that has been there for at least a year. To me, Syria sounds more like an Allie than an evil threat.
