300 million people is not a positive accomplishment. Why is the idea of more people and less wildlife so appealing?

"Today, America would be outraged if UN troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."

Fox News recently broke a story about anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan's connection with John Kerry and Michael Moore. Kerry and Moore both approached Sheehan shortly after her son's death and asked her to do a commercial for them. Kerry also paid Sheehan money to be an anti-war protestor. I cannot find this story in the Yahoo! news or in any other mainstream media circuit. It is true, and there is information to back it up. So why is the mainstream media ignoring this?

Jesus taught pacifism, republicans advocate war at the drop of a hat.
Jesus said judge not lest ye be judged, republicans support kidnapping, torture, secret prisons, and no habeus corpus.
Jesus taught love of money is evil, republicans favor the wealthy and ignore needs of the poor.
Jesus advocated love for our enemies, republicans want to exterminate them and anybody nearby.

How do you as a christian republican rationalize these disparities?

Was President Bush's recent decision to change the constitution and suspend Habeas Corpus to certain individuals denying them due process under the law justifiable? After more than 200 years, has the political situation necessitated the urgent need for imprisonment without charge and torture within reason?

The advent of radio, T.V.,and the internet have made it possible for our political comments to be picked up instantly anywhere .
Our founding fathers could not anticepate this advance.But now your negative political remarcs can be readily used by an enemy for propaganda. Also our combat soldiers might have doubts about their combat role,and these doubts might endanger them when they face a more determined enemy. You must be focused in combat and have the will to win.

Poll: Illegal Immigrants May Help Economy
By PETER PRENGAMAN, Associated Press Writer

(03-28) 06:34 PST LOS ANGELES, (AP) --


A majority of immigrants who came to the United States legally think undocumented workers help the economy by providing cheap labor, according to a poll released Tuesday.


Eighty-one percent of those surveyed said illegal immigrants accept low-end jobs that Americans don't want. Some 73 percent said illegal immigrants aided the economy by supplying low-cost labor.


"By an overwhelming percentage, legal immigrants don't have bad feelings toward the undocumented," said Sergio Bendixen, whose firm Bendixen & Associates conducted the poll.


The poll was based on telephone interviews with 800 legal immigrants from Latin America, Asia, Europe and Africa between Feb. 24 and March 21. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.


The findings come as the U.S. Senate considers immigration reform proposals, including legislation that passed a panel Monday clearing the way for 11 million illegal aliens to seek U.S. citizenship.


The House of Representatives has already passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegals and erect more fences along the U.S.-Mexican border.


When told about reform proposals in Congress, 68 percent of poll respondents said they supported temporary work permits for illegal immigrants and a way for them to apply for residency after learning English and paying a fine.


That seems to conflict with arguments by some lawmakers opposed to any kind of legalization program. Those politicians say it would be unfair to legal residents who've played by the rules.


The poll findings were in line with the opinions of many legal immigrants who have poured into the streets around the nation to protest against legislation that harshly cracks down on illegal immigrants.


"Nobody comes here to get on welfare," said Perias Pillay, 43, who was 18 when he immigrated legally from Malaysia. "They come here to work, and as long as we need workers we should let them come."


Asked about lawmakers' handling of immigration issues, 32 percent of those surveyed said Congress and President Bush were doing a good job. Democrats received the highest approval with 38 percent. Republicans garnered 22 percent.


The poll was commissioned by New America Media, a nonprofit San Francisco-based umbrella organization for more than 700 ethnic media outlets. Researchers said immigrants in 47 states were interviewed by using random digit dialing in areas of the country with high numbers of immigrant subgroups.


More than 60 percent of immigrants interviewed said they were alarmed by the tone of the immigration reform debate. Sixty-seven percent said they believed anti-immigration sentiment was growing, and 64 percent said it was fueled by racism.


Delia Adene, 48, who immigrated legally from Mexico and joined the Los Angeles rally, said she was worried about the intensifying rhetoric.


"I feel like people see us as criminals now because we want to help our families," Adene said. "We do need more control of the border, but politicians need to talk about this with human justice in mind."

I am interested in becoming a police officer, however I'd hate to spend a lot of time going through the process only to find out that I will be disqualified in the end. Concerning eczema , I have not had an outbreak for about 6 years, and it was not major.

Suicidal ideation is not an accurate description, but there is a record of this on an old medical chart. I have never attempted or seriously considered this as an option. In fact i volunteered for a suicide hotline.

Illegal immigrants help economy


Illegal immigrants are beneficial to our economy by providing the labor that is essential for production and our prosperity.

Deportation would cause major economic disruptions and would lead to higher prices for many goods and services.

Most of the illegal immigrants are young men who perform unskilled jobs. Contrary to popular opinion, there is no solid evidence that these individuals commit more violent crimes or are a greater burden on our social services, compared with individuals with a similar demographic profile: young men without a high school education.

Furthermore, there is evidence that illegal immigrants actually help our budget balance. Most of these workers do pay taxes (using a fake Social Security number), because employers are obliged to withhold taxes. However, many illegals end up returning to their home country to retire -- never collecting anything from either Social Security or Medicare.

We should be grateful that we are able to share our economic well-being with those who are less fortunate and that we are enlightened enough to realize that immigration benefits both ourselves and the immigrants. Let's hope that our political leaders avoid nationalistic tendencies and are able to make the right decisions for everyone's well-being.
