I guess no terrorists ever got through that border huh? Or maybe they just don't care if blonde, blue-eyed people get into this country. Some threat mexican immigrants pose right? They want to come here to, get this WORK. It should be a felony to come to this country for that reason.

The ACLU sponsored Michael Newdow, the "under God" protestor guy from N. CA to speak at the local college. After his talk, there was a question and answer session where a lot of the students strongly disagreed with Newdow and his crusade to make all of us agree with him (sorry for the editorial). The Q&A became heated so the host of the gathering (the head of the local ACLU chapter) began to limit what could be asked!
Look at the hypocrisy:

"The ACLU is concerned with the protection of civil rights and civil liberties, and (Newdow has) done a lot for that," said Phyllis Gerstenfeld, interim co-chairwoman of the Stanislaus County ACLU.

After Newdow's speech, organizers asked for civilized discourse during questions, but limited what the audience could say.
Members of the crowd were upset, arguing that was a hypocritical control of their freedom of speech. Organizers said people came to hear Newdow speak, not audience members."

Once again, freedom of speech as long as we like it.

How well do you think it would have been received?
My guess is, not very well. Since other countries didn't seem to protest too loud about the rants of those two, does it mean that they secretly agree?

Further clarification of my question are based on some quotes of his speech (see details below). The full speech is available here: http://www.un.org/webcast/ga/61/pdfs/iran-e.pdf

"Some [people] occupy the homeland of others, thousands of kilometers away from their borders, interfere in their affairs and control their oil and other resources and strategic routes, while others are bombarded daily in their own homes; their children murdered in the streets and alleys of their own country and their homes reduced to rubble.

Such behavior is not worthy of human beings and runs counter to the Truth, to justice and to human dignity."

---What so wrong about what he's saying?

Why are you never complaining that legal immigrants "steal jobs", but blame Pedro-the tomato -picker who doesn't even speak English and has no access whatsoever to a job an educated American can have?

that Vigilantes trying to play John Wayne are just a bunch of racists hiding behind a bogus phrase "Protect and Report" B.S.

Arent you people here smarter than that? Heres a link from the U.S. INTELLIGENT REPORT that prooves these Vigilantes are pure and simple RACISTS. Stop blinding yourselves people. If they are so interested in securing our borders from criminals coming in and hurting American people, then why dont they go to Iraq to secure the borders there from insurgents flowing in from countries like Iraq and Syria? Because its easier for these Vigilantes to shoot at innocent children runnig throught the desert instead of facing the real enemy of America. Cowards.

So lets say my friend is dating a 14yr old, but the legal age of consent in his state is 16. But he also knows somebody at the Kazakhstan embassy, a country where the legal age of consent has been recently raised to eight years old: if he takes his 14yr old girlfriend onto the Kazakhstan embassy's lawn and has sex with her there, is he committing statutory rape?

Thanks to everyone who answered my questions. I finally got an e-mail and was told the internet had been down for about 2 wks. But then I got another one that said he didn't think things were gonna work out. He only missed me a little and he thought he would feel differently about me while he was in Iraq. Does the military really have that much power per say to destroy so many relationships? We had been together for 3 years and at points in our relstionship talked about getting married. Now all that is gone and it sucks bad!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why do some U.S citizens see themselves as better than others? Why is hunting down a group of people and deporting them to a land of poverty such a thrill for them? It used to be that this was a "land of opportunity". Bring us your poor huddled masses yearning to be free.

That has all changed now. Some Americans want to separate themselves from others. This is THEIR country and immigrants have no part in it. Save the arguments of 'legal immigration". When this country was founded that concept didn't even exist. It was just immigration.

All of a sudden, politicians want to deport millions of people or take away their jobs just because they are undocumented. Since when is it a crime to want to offer a better life to your children?

Today we are selling ourselfs out and buying our materials from the enemy .Steal from korea and china is used and billions paid to other countrys to provide us the materials need to wage war .
When will this congress at least make it so americans contribute to the war effort and are returned some of the money taken to pay for the war .The third world is the winner in this war and we are all losers .With our children dieing and our taxes being spent abroad what have we been thinking .

I hear/read things from people who say we should not involve ourselves in other countries affairs etc. What do you think would happen if we withdrew our troops from all other nations and stopped our humanitarian aid and etc. What if we became "an island unto ourselves"? Would that be good? Would it be bad?

I get so mad when I see on the news, some racist minutemen "hunting" down illegals. You can tell that he enjoys bringing down a group of people. The African-Americans in minutemen should watch out. Hispanics are just their replacement in discrimination. You can be sure that if discriminating against African-Americans was still allowed the Minutemen wouldn't be hunting illegals, they'd be too busy discriminating against Blacks.

Do you believe Sen. George Allen, (R. VA) when he says he never heard the word "macaca" the slur he used against a 20 year old summer intern of his opponent? It's a North African epithet for a brown skinned person, and Allen's mother just happens to be from Tunisia.

Then when asked if he's Jewish, Allen has said no. Do you believe his mother never told him she was Jewish? Do you believe that Allen he never suspected his mother was a Jew even though his grandfather was imprisoned by the Nazis?

Do these lie, if any, reflect on the Republican Party?
