I cannot stand what is going on in congress. It has become an oligarchy and tyrannical. They consistently violate Article 1 Section 8 of the constitution. They must be reigned in.

I want term limits, one term only, pick the number of years if it is reasonable, but no more elections except the first one, this should take some influence from the big money supporters.

Career politicians are ruining our country. What do you suggest to stop them?

this film is two years old. i hadn't heard of it until a few weeks ago, but i am passing it along to everyone i know. we need to know our enemy, and imagining they are evil rather than determined is a mistake. evil can be written off too easily. if we understand the origins of the terrorists we face, i think we will know better how to fight it...

Slick Willy's legacy of attempted rape, groping women, sexual abuse, inserting "Cigars" in the vagina of a 20 year old intern, Monica Lewinsky, in the Oval office no less, conducting Policy by Polls, wading through scandal after scandal chest deep in shame, leaving him no other alternative but to "Wag The Dog" ... what's to respect?

His legacy, no matter how much money he raises for charity is one of shame.

As a Draft-Dodger, he cut the military and demoralized our Fighting Forces, he decimated the CIA and FBI and laid the ground work for Islamic terror to take root. He did "nothing:" after the WTC bombing turning it over to local law enforcement ... and he's indignant ??????????!!!!!!!!!

His legacy is shame and the Democrats with Howard Dean as their sage leader and Jimmy Carter showing advance stages of Dementia who loves Hugo Chavez...is the beginning of the absolute end of their Party's chances in the next Elections!

What say you?

I am 17 this is my first offense for getting into trouble with the law. I have 3 counts of theft on myself. I need to know all of the steps like how does probation go. Yesterday my mom got something in the mail from the Juvenile Court System saying that i am now on Probation. Only if you know how it works please tell me, or otherwise go on to a different question. My question is that if someone is on probation (like myself), will they loose their freedom or will they just go to jail or will they do community service.? Cause i am on probation and i do not know what will be happening to myself. I am asking this question so that way i am aware of my own bad-consequence.
Please no idiotic answers and thanks for your reply.

Illegals fill jail that Metro plan is based on
Federal authorities can't process N.C. detainees fast enough

By CHRISTIAN BOTTORFF
Staff Writer


Illegal immigrants facing criminal charges are crowding a North Carolina jail that serves as the model for Davidson County Sheriff Daron Hall's plan to hold such immigrants here for deportation hearings.

The Charlotte, N.C., jail is full because federal authorities can't pick up inmates facing deportation hearings quickly enough, the Mecklenburg County sheriff said in a congressional hearing last month.
Also, a 1,500-inmate facility in Georgia has been approved to house immigration detainees beginning in October, and Pendergraph said he is hopeful that will relieve the crowding further.

The demand for capacity to house illegal immigrants also has prompted federal officials to consider building a federal detention center in the Charlotte area, the sheriff said.
The jail is overflowing with inmates as a result of a new program that puts deportation holds on people who are identified as illegal immigrants when they pass through the county lockup.

Nashville has applied for computer hardware, training and other support that would help local jailers do the same.

But in testimony Aug. 25 before Congress, Mecklenburg County Sheriff Jim Pendergraph said the federal government has been overwhelmed by the demand for pickups and transfers of illegal immigrants to federal facilities.

"So many illegal immigrant criminals have been identified through my ... program, it is causing me a jail space problem," Pendergraph said.

"(The) Removal and Detention Division of (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) is overwhelmed by the numbers we are generating for removal in Mecklenberg County alone."

Still, Pendergraph said, "I'd recommend (this program) to every sheriff in the U.S."

"It is getting people out of our community who are committing crimes who had no business being here anyway.

"We certainly don't need any more lawbreakers in our community, especially among people who are in the country illegally."

Since May, Pendergraph said, federal officials have removed 550 people for deportation proceedings, many of whom would not otherwise have been identified.

Under the program, federal immigration computers and a full-time immigration officer are placed at local jails, allowing specially trained deputies to check the immigration status of every prisoner.

Hall sent a letter Aug. 15 to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security seeking to bring the program to the Metro Jail.

The request came after several high-profile crimes in the Midstate this year involving illegal immigrants. In several cases, the illegal immigrants had been arrested several times — and not deported — before going on to commit more serious crimes.

Nashville now sends notice to federal authorities in Vermont each time a foreign-born person is booked. Federal authorities are supposed to research the inmate's immigration status and request that a hold be placed, ensuring that the prisoner remains in custody until he can be turned over to immigration officers.

But those holds are being requested in only a fraction of cases, those in which the inmate's crime is at least an aggravated felony, Hall has said.

Thus, in the majority of arrests involving illegal immigrants, no hold is placed and the inmates are released from custody despite their immigration status.

By putting immigration computers and a full-time immigration officer in the Metro Jail, local deputies would have the ability to check every prisoner's immigration status during booking and place holds on those in the country illegally.

Those prisoners would then be held in the Metro Jail until they could be picked up by immigration officers for deportation proceedings.

But it remains unclear whether federal authorities will be able to sufficiently increase their capacity to pick up illegal immigrants from Nashville. During the past fiscal year, immigration holds were placed on 151 inmates, jail officials said. Under the new program, sheriff's officials estimate roughly 3,000 inmates will be identified for deportation each year.

Hall said there are 400 available jail beds in Davidson County, so he doesn't believe that keeping illegal immigrants in the county system longer would lead to crowding in the near term.

And the sheriff said local officials have little choice but to find a way to keep illegal immigrants who commit crimes off the streets.

"I'm not concerned about them being removed in a timely way, given that we have 400 beds," Hall said, adding, "We have to cross all that when we get there."

Local officials also hope that the increased immigration enforcement will act as a deterrent, reducing the number of illegal immigrants who pass through Nashville's lockup, Hall said.

In an interview last week, Pendergraph, the Mecklenburg County sheriff, said the crowding in Charlotte has begun to ease a bit after the federal government increased the number of bus trips taking inmates to deportation hearings from once to twice a week.

President Bush and his henchmen are planning to build a virtual fence along the USA /Cdn border. This is supposed to be part of the fight against terrorists yet no known terrorist has come into the US via Canada. (One was caught crossing from British Columbia but was caught by US Border Officers when the RCMP warned them he was going to cross.) Will a fence mean that Condelisa Rice is going to have to climb over to see her boyfriend Peter MacKay (Cdn Minister od Foreign Affairs.)
This fence will cost the American people tens of millions of dollars. If they are so intent on fighting terrorists, perhaps they should build the fence beween Afghanistan and Pakistan where bin Laden crossed, to hide in the mountains of Pakistan. At least they would be able destry the Taliban in Afghanistan without a never ending stream of more terrists crossing the border. Just a thought! What are your thoughts.

I am angry with the minority getting their way and we as a majority have to now change our way of thinking and watch what we say or go to jail. Example is the homosexuals. They are a minority and now I have to be careful what I say, like, I believe homosexuality is wrong, but if I say it in certain areas of my city or I want to put up a billboard saying it is wrong(my opinion), I can be charged with a hate crime. What ever happened to free speech? Free speech is only for the minority, now.

I am in agreement with most that we must control our borders. It is a national security issue & druglords freely pass drugs into the US. Okay, but we have problems on both sides of the "fence". The "fence" will not stop the corruption of US Officials who allow these drugs to be passed. These officials will have a key to open that "fence" to admit drug lords but will not permit the passage of poor illegal immigrants that come to clean up buildings instead of blowing them up. Why do so many drugs come into the US? The answer- supply & demand. We need these immigrants to work the jobs that our drug addicted nation will not fill. WE NEED COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION REFORM. We cannot patch repair the levy it must be rebuilt. DON'T let these politicians keep you ignorant....The border fence is just a ploy to get them relected. These same politicians know that we need this "illegal" work force as much as they need us. The "illegal alien" did not mastermind 911 so why treat him with disdain?!

I mean seriously? He has a republican house, and senate, and a conservative judiciary, to which he appointed justices. He also had the single most unifying (politically) act (9/11) committed on his watch. He CHOSE to go to war in Iraq (unilaterally). SO tell me, why does he have such a hard job? And whose fault is that?
