illegal immigration negatively affects us legal residents by bringing down our education system, healthcare system, economy, crime rate, and hence overall quality of life?

Do they realize it, but purposely ignore it because they are illegal, their relatives and/or friends are, or are they just uninformed?

Why do some believe it is a victimless crime?

For example, my friend got into a car accident with a group of them (DUI) and now her baby has permanent brain/spinal cord damage.

She may receive money from uninsured motorist insurance... but sometimes money isn't enough. Her child will have critical lifelong health problems because of our failure to seal our borders.

The ones I deal with in my neighborhood do not want to assimilate. They hang Mexico flags from their roof and turn the streets into Nogales.

And they're innocent and looking for better lives?

Name me a good cause Bush has done?

I can't find any, seriously. All this stuff about attacking terrorist only caused us to have more enemies, spend too much money, and yet we still haven't succeeded.

So why do some people still like him?

I took down my last question. I didn't mean to offend, nor hurt anyone?

I apologize if I offended anyone in my last question. It was not meant to hurt anyone's feelings.

As for Spinach, the scare is over.

And new, fresh Spinach is on grocery shelves. It is very important to help the industry recover during this time.

Also, if you can't take satire, then you take this forum way to seriously.

Why the Republicans?

I know I am not the only one on here getting reported for abuse on Yahoo Answers, probably anyone who offends any other person will be in violation, republican or not. So why is it that the Neo-Conservatives on here always like to whine and complain about it? And we always have to look at their pathetic postings on their "tantrum". I don't complain and I don't see others complaining when reported. Suck it up! Are you really surprised at the communities’ actions?

Do you think Israel should exist in the Middle East?

Base your answers on the thought that it is lying on the land of Palestine with no right and don't give me that nonsense of how Israelis said "God" gave them that land. As the Jewish Bible says that their God ordered for the massacres of all men, women and children in Palestine, the Jews state that their God is the same as ours. How can God kill His children for the benefit of his other children? Does that make sense to anyone? (No offense to the Jewish religion but i just want a decent answer and no discrimination.)

Will filing bankruptcy release me from a joint mortgage?

My sister in law who was 19 at the time was duped into co-signing a mortage for her parents. Now she's 20 and wants to leave and get her own place, but can't because her credit is tied up with the house that her parents live in. What can she do? Is bankruptcy her only out?
Her parents won't agree to let her sign over the house to them, because they dont' want to refinance it in their names...(bad credit) Any thoughts?

Did you see Mexico's Calderon Rips Border Wall Plan? Where is Mexico's Shame?

Mexico's Calderon Rips Border Wall Plan MEXICO CITY (AP) -- Mexican President-elect Felipe Calderon on Monday slammed U.S. plans to build more fences on its southern border, saying it would not solve illegal immigration.

"We are worried ... about the actions that the United States is discussing concerning building a border wall and tightening restrictions on migrants," Calderon said after meeting with Mexico's foreign secretary.

The U.S. Senate is debating legislation to build 700 miles of fence on the U.S.-Mexico border along with other security measures, which the House has already passed.

President Vicente Fox, of Calderon's conservative National Action Party, has called the plans "shameful" and said the fence would be like the Berlin Wall. Calderon succeeds Fox on Dec. 1.There are an estimated 11 million Mexicans in the United States, about half of whom are illegal. Last year, Mexican migrants sent home more than $20 billion in remittances.

How far does the War on Terror goes?

The Terrorist attack was foiled in Britain, when terrorists planned to take liquids on planes and blow it up. Then on August 10th they put a ban on all liquids carried on planes. I guess it's hard to tell the difference between chloride and toothpaste. Anyway, if terrorist put bombs in car tires and that plan gets foiled, will car tires be banned? Will they be subject to random Tire psi tests? Common sense seems to be missing somewhere, I guess if you're willing to give up some of the ways of life that makes America, then you should go put on a burka.
