Politics & Government - 22 September 2006

According to a recent article (October 2006 issue of Reader's Digest) 1/3 of housholds headed by an illegal immigrant are on some form of welfare. There is an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United states. Since we don't have a way of knowing how many of those 11 million per household, we can not say how many of them are actualy on welfare. Welfare our tax dollars pay for to support people who broke the law to even be here. Benefits they are receiving, which they do not pay into.

Question: How do you feel about this?

I'm confused... when did it become socially acceptable to aid in a criminal act? I see legal citizens going down to the border and giving water and food, shoes and whatever else to those that are trying to "hop the fence." I'm not saying that these illegals should die, but if they are attempting an illegal act then they know that there will be consequences.

Now don't call me a racist, because I'm not. I'm all for hispanics/mexicans/latinos coming into this country in want for a better life for their families and for better opportunities. I've been coworkers and am friends with many and I can say they have great work ethics and wonderful family values. They have come to this country legally though and understand what it is to be part of this country, and in that have gained my respect.

If we give a gun to someone that we know has the intention of using that gun to commit murder, are we not aiding in the crime? What is the difference with helping illegals cross the border?

LKY (Minister Mentor of Singapore) accused the Malaysian Government of marginalizesing the Chinese in their country. If the Singapore opposition or a PAP minister/MP had said the same thing.what would happen to them? I think they would be in deep trouble for bringing up such a sentitive subject and be comdemed. But because LKY said it, so nobody else dare to mumber a word. Do you agree?.

After the cold war, some wanted another enemy and Islam was picked up mainly to acheive certain political and economic goals. The majority of Muslims (one milliard and two hundred millions) are peaceful. If we carry on hurting, killing insulting each other that can only lead to hate, anger and wars. What do you think the best way to sort out this problem?


PLEASE: only constructive answers, no useless, angry ones...Thanks

"Denver police confirmed Thursday they arrested Rubi-Nava on a traffic charge in April but released him.

Police spokeswoman Virginia Quinones said the arresting officer suspected Rubi-Nava's identification may have been forged, but she said the department was not responsible for verifying a suspect's immigration status, and a new Colorado law directing police to cooperate with federal immigration officers was not yet in force. "

Also, 4 of the 9/11 aircraft crew had been stopped for traffic violations when they had expired visas - one while on his way to meet his compatriots for the actual sky jacking (the ticket was found in the glove compartment of the rental car on 9/11). I think that local enforcement is overdue.

This is totally aside from what happens to screened people here. I think we are playing games with ourselves if we are setting up expensive proceedures to stop illegal immigration then are ignoring the most logical ways of enforcing law.

What do you think?

My tenant is an atty consequently i am less knowledgeable,besides I don't particularly have strong faith in the court system for working people. In a nutshell I've given into the tenants(atty) proposal just to keep from going to mediation or arbitration waste of time ,money to the court and attys fees and my mental health. The tenant is expecting me to return his deposit the day he moves out and we do a walk thru. i resentment this demand yet I'm not willing to discuss this with tenant in advance because he's a jerk.I thought instead present him with the law the day he hands me the keys. i plan to refund the deposit but I want to be assured that I didn't overlook the operation of the washing machine, or the plumbing things you may not see with a walk thru. everything was new prior to their move in two months ago. What can I do? I"ll be glad to get this over with in the coming weeksThanks

I went into a store looking to buy a new camera phone, when I opened the phone up a picture of a man's genitals was on the main screen. I called the store to let them know. The store reported it to the police, the police called me, telling me they know who the person is who did this as he also took a picture of his face with the camera phone. The store does'nt want to file a compaint as the person comes in the store quite often. They said they are angry but won't file a complaint. I fill this person is going to just walk away with just a slap on the wrist. The police said I can file a complaint but to be prepared to go to court. I feel that the store should being filing the complaint. What should I do and what steps do I take ?
