I wish someone would do a good study and talk about the real Americans, 30% of the Americans come from some type of Hispanic, Latin, Mexican, Puerto Rican background or national origin. They are Americans, U.S Citizens born here and most likely they've been here forever or for many generations. We are talking about a huge amount of our American people here if we talk about 30% of our population. However, after analyzing the situation about illegal immigration and all that.... we are creating a HUGE racial problem here, we are making believe many of our children and white Americans that every Hispanic person on the street or that every Latin person on the street is (illegal) and that's not even close to that. I work for the government and I also go to college and out of every 10 people working for the government 4 are from Hispanic origin, out of 10 professionals working as Doctors, Attorneys, Office people 4 or 5 our of hispanic origin and they are Americans....

In many states where Hispanics have been here for every or for many generations like Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, we know and understand because we see it, our own police officers are Hispanic, many of our Doctors, even you get a ticket and to go court and the judge might be Hispanic, so we know the difference between an American hispanic, latino and someone illegal in this country, and believe me we don't like illegal immigration at all. however, I know that someone has to be my maid or your maid, somebody has to cut your grass and pick up the fruits. Am I going to do that job? Hell no, any of my fellow Hispanic Americans or white Americans would do that job? most likely NO.
we are not going to be the maids or the dishwashers or the fruitpickers.

Who will do it? of course only illegal aliens, no one else?
do we have to deport them? I don't think that would be a good idea because if we are realistic, we wouldn't get much done with the labor work that we need in this country.
Do we have to give them a permanent residence? NO, NO, NO....
not so easy, Amigos... not so easy cause many people that came here LEGALLY had to wait years for them to get a permanent residency status...
so, what can we really do? GIVE THEM SOME TYPE OF WORK PERMIT, TEMPORARY.
EVERY TWO YEARS YOU HELP US WITH YOUR LABOR WORK, you keep this country running and then you are out because you don't really belong here, make a little bit of pesos and go home, then we get some more, we invite them to come here with a work permit already, two years... help us with your work that NOBODY ELSE WILL DO and there you go. everyone is happy.....

did I make my point, illegal immigration don't support it, but think smart also don't descriminate because in reality they are not bad people, most of them are family oriented. and another thing please, please understand the main point of this discussion, Hispanics does not mean illegal AT ALL... respect your fellow Americans and together let's be one nation....

We should leave that clear, illegal immigration is a totally different situation. if you go to California, New York, Florida, New Mexico, Arizona etc.
30 to 35% of the population are HISPANIC AMERICANS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL THEM, we call everyone American, if you are born in this country it doesn't matter if your grandparents came from Europe, Spain, England, Italy, Mexico..

It doesn't matter if you are Black, White, Black Latino, White Latino, Native American or plain white..... you are an American you are an American period....

Illegal immigration is a different subject, Do I support it? No, of course not... Something has to be done but as I said that's a different subject.... I'm just trying to make a point of what Real Americans are.....

Illegal immigration, something has to be done? do we have to deport them? I don't think that's the best idea
who is going to clean your house? Mrs Smith will be the maid? Mr. Thompson will be the dishwasher?
Mrs. Johnson will be the bus boy?
come on Americans wake up, why so much hate?
let's do something, and let's do it SMART... leave all your racial feelings somewhere else because that's the way that we are going if we don't stop that hate....

I really hope that somebody makes a report of this, gathers more information... go to government agencies, colleges, large organizations.... do something...

Should either one become president? Or are they both incompetent?

Take a look here and see what it is really like. You will be surprised, it is not at all what the mainstream media is saying.

Isn't everyone tired of elitists speaking on behalf of citizens they have nothing in common with?

I am a libertarian who believes in minimal government and freedom in a free nation! This means minimal taxes, government out of marriage completely, competitive markets, guns for good citizens(not just the criminals), economic growth, and I am also pro-choice before 6 months, pro-life after! I believe in a nation that is defense not offensive, I don't believe the war on drugs helps society. I am your basic libertarian! No not a liberal or a conservative, I don't like either kinds of big government! I like the founding fathers and I respect freedom for all. Why are these bad ideas? Because of your religion doesn't put their stamp of approval on it? Because Clinton is the best? Come on, honestly, why can't the human race end tyranny? Sucks huh?

I am filling out my U.S. citizenship form right now and there's a part about name changing. I was wondering what's the process of changing one's name when becoming a U.S. citizen? Do I just have to write the name I desire on the form or is there more to it? Thanks in advance

Please compare these two cases and tell me whether you yourself would have preferred either of these two solutions to the one that actually happened, or whether either of them would have been better than what actually occurred. Please go into as much detail as possible without writing a term paper. When it's all in I will post my own thoughts. Thanks.

Neighbour above is very noisy in the night hours, ranging from 10pm to 3am. Adults and several small children in household constantly drag furniture and ride noisy hard-wheeled toys across floor, making very loud noises. I have complained to them and to the management of the condos many times in the past 6-9 months.
My children and I constantly have trouble going to sleep and often get woken up in the late hours. Last night was woken up at 10pm, 12pm, 1am and 3am.
I have asked the neighbour politely to be more considerate. I have also asked the management to speak with them about this. The neighbour's response is that they lived int he condos longer than my family so they should not have to change their lifestyle. They say it is our problem, not theirs. I have asked them to place felt pads on the feet of their furniture, but they refuse. They say that they should not have to change their lifestyle, even if it is a bother to us.
Police say they can't help. What can I do?

Hello,

My Aunt left me her Winchester Model 190 22 Rifle when she passed on. This was about 1988 or so.

I kept that rifle polished and in a special case. I hardly ever took it out of the house.

I lived in Ohio at this time and moved to Kentucky, where it was stolen. I had a crackhead steal it and I'm wondering if I can trace it somehow? It was stolen about 1995 and I have been wondering about it.

I think that my Uncle or Aunt signed for it (I know the small town this was done in). I didn't have the serial numbers written down (my mistake, I was young).

I know that it's long gone but I was just wondering about it. It was reported to police and everything.

Is there a way to get the serial numbers and put it on some kind of a hot sheet?

Just courious and thanks for your time.

Mike h.

While I was serving in Iraq I lost both my parents in a car accident. A few weeks later I was injured in a IED explosion which almost crippled me. I spent the next 6 months in a hospital bed in Germany learning how to walk again. After I was medically discharged I returned home to empty house with no parents. I spent the following months trying to find a job, organize my parents finances, and deal with my physical disability. I still have nightmares from Iraq and sleep only 3 or 4 hours a night. Since I have no relatives or siblings I have been forced to deal with my situation alone. I've become distant from my friends and find myself suffering from depression. However, I take one day at a time, that's all I can ask. I want to get help with my depression, but the counseling offices at V.A. are overwhelmed and it will be months before my next appointment. I can't afford see someone on my own...what can I do? I don't usually like asking for help, but right now I'm at a loss.
