President Bush is also doing this http://www.washtimes.com/national/20041110-123424-5467r.htm
and pushing for the North American Union which will have an open border with Mexico. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=14965
Why are they doing this when it seems obvious it will cost many Americans their jobs and many southern states will suffer?

WASHINGTON — American civilization eventually will collapse if government doesn't do a better job assimilating immigrants into society, possible GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Wednesday as he urged Congress to enshrine English as the nation's official language.

The former House speaker said political correctness and multiculturalism are clouding the debate about language.

"If you are pro-immigration to America, you should be pro-assimilation into English as the common language because in fact your children and grandchildren will have a dramatically better future if they are part of the common commercial civilization," Gingrich said.

He spoke at a news conference organized by ProEnglish, a Virginia-based group pushing for governments across the country to adopt official-English laws.

Congress should shift funding for bilingual education to English immersion programs for students, Gingrich recommended, saying bilingual education has trapped people in what he termed linguistic ghettos.

The money comes out of my check but rarely gets contributed on time. I recently looked online at my account and saw a contribution on jan 19th. Later I found out that the contribution was for the month of november of 06. By law the money is supposed to be in the 401k account 15 business days past the month. Does the employer have access to using employee 401k contributions for business expenses? My coworker was told by the plan administrator that "the money wasn't there" and "they were doing the best they can" to send the contributions. I am only assuming that this is what had happened (to pay expenses) What are the legal rights in this? Whats the point of having money taken out every week when it doesnt even go in when its supposed to. Would I still get charged the monthly fee if I stop contributing?

Fighting insurgencies requires doing what the Turks did... with only a squadron or two they controlled mass populations as Occupiers (which is what the US is in Iraq now). They got the "local notables" and told them look, if you don't get your people YOUR PEOPLE to get off thier asses and find the insurgents who they are hiding and lying to us about then hey there will be escalating punishments all the way up to mass executions, sorry deal with it. And guess what? They got results, and didn't waste good trained valuable soldiers.

INSTEAD we are doing Vietnam Part 2 and letting this insurgency ruin our moral in Irag and walk all over us again, Gutless politicians, brave troops (with thier hands tied). It is pathetic.

You fight wars to win, not maintain corporate rule. Americans should know this it is how WE won over the British.

Maybe Bush doesn't want us to win in Iraq? Pelosi? c'mon people...

Win or send em all home and let it be as Vietnam was, peace with dignity.

My father in law has been missing for 6 years and my husband thinks they can still try him on drug charges and convict him even though no one has spoken with him or knows where he is.

If the Republicans want to increase the number of troops we're sending to the Middle East, let's have their kids go first ... with the Bush twins in the lead! By how many would the troops increase if all the Administration's and Legislative bodies' kids or grandkids had to volunteer? Anyone have any idea?

look at the people and the things they say on here and know without a doubt why society is so nuts right now?

I raise my eyebrow at people who ask one sided questions and when someone actually puts up facts they wont comment on them.
I laugh when people give a thumbs down to people even if the answer agrees with them because they know that person generally believes contrary to what they do.

people are nuts.

I think the entire NIH budget comes down to about 20$ per person per year in the US.

That's a lot of bang for your buck, given the pace of medical progress.

On the other hand, every american spends 5$ per day on the defense budget.
