Your NOT organizing on a National level to prosecute the Employers & Landlords with immidiate enforcement why? I guess you want to end up like the American Indian Tribes or the indigenous! Except you won't get any land or a place to live, maybe become a begger!

I say hell no!! Yet if you don't take it ..you get treated like your guilty right? These things are not reliable and with so many corrupt police, can you trust them? I am just aksing this in relation to many cases in the media where if a suspect does not take the test they are assumed guilty. I don't think you can trust these things!!!!! and especially the police or detectives that adminsiter them.

With the war crimes that Bush has committed coupled with his crimes against the constitution and combined with the complicity of the Democrats and the major media in these crimes, can U.S. democracy survive this deterioration of our key institutions if Bush is not impeached and imprisoned; or will the ruling elite resort to full-blown, police-state fascism to control the public at a time when the needs and desires of that ruling elite run contrary to those of the general public?

If we truely are free, should the Government have the right to decide whether or not we can end our own lives? Should the Government be allowed to tell us that we can't use a certain drug, even though the use of that drug has no affect on anybody else?

Type Size Bandits attack migrants' car
3 gunmen open fire on vehicle in Chandler, kidnap driver

Violence against groups of migrants by unknown armed bandits reached the Valley on Wednesday with a freeway attack in Chandler, the fourth similar incident in a month.

Three gunmen attacked a car carrying undocumented immigrants and kidnapped driver José Guzmán, who is believed to be a Mexican in his early 20s.

Guzmán, driving a car with five passengers, pulled off westbound Interstate 10 early Wednesday to get gas near Maricopa when two pickup trucks began to follow them, Chandler police said. advertisement




Guzmán continued westbound on I-10 to the eastbound Santan Freeway in Chandler and the trucks followed, forcing the vehicle onto the shoulder of the road shortly after they entered the Santan.

The occupants of the trucks opened fire with handguns, and at least one round hit the car, police said.

Police believe the attackers forced Guzmán into one of the trucks. Another attempted to kidnap the passengers by stealing the car but was unsuccessful and fled. The passengers were unharmed.

Sgt. Rick Griner, a Chandler police spokesman, said the passengers are in custody with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement because they are undocumented.

The passengers, whose names have not been released, were interviewed and are cooperating but apprehensive because of their immigration status, Griner said.

"Their emotions are up," he said.

Griner said Guzmán and the passengers were on their way to California, but police have no description of Guzmán or the attackers and don't know the motive.

Gustavo Soto, a U.S. Border Patrol spokesman in Tucson, said migrants who attempt to cross into the United States illegally increasingly face a new risk: cross fire from drug lords and human smugglers struggling for the control of the trafficking routes.

Several recent incidents have heightened authorities' concerns for the level of violence that the groups of traffickers are using to gain control of the routes, Soto said.


• On Feb. 8, four gunmen opened fire on a pickup truck carrying undocumented immigrants, killing a 15-year-old girl and two men at 7:30 a.m. just north of Tucson.


• About 12 hours earlier, on Feb. 7, 18 undocumented immigrants were robbed at gunpoint by four heavily armed men wearing ski masks near the border at Sasabe.


• On Jan. 27, four gunmen wearing military fatigues and berets, carrying assault rifles, shot and killed an Eloy man, who was driving a truck carrying undocumented immigrants near an Eloy farm field. The attackers, three Anglo men who spoke English and one Hispanic man who spoke English and broken Spanish, also shot 19-year-old Andrés de Jesús, of Oaxaca, Mexico.

In the Jan. 27 incident, detectives said the attackers could have been vigilantes, rival smugglers or criminals trying to steal drugs, although no drugs were found in the truck.

"Border bandits," criminals who operate in the desert and attack migrants, have also been escalating their attacks, he said.

Soto said the increase of violence is a result of traffickers' trying to maintain smuggling routes.

"It's a reflection of the frustration that (traffickers) feel since we intensified patrol in these areas and increased confiscation of their cargo of human beings and drugs," Soto said.

Okay, please explain this to me.

Let's say that all of the American/British/UN etc forces left the Middle East. I keep hearing that it's better to get them over there than to allow them to come after us here in the U.S. How will fighting them over in Iraq keep them from coming over to the U.S? It's not like every terrorist will somehow get on a plane and come over here.

So, for those of you who support this war, explain to me, how killing and imprisoning insurgents over in Iraq somehow prevents terrorism in the U.S?

To me, this makes no sense. The terrorists would somehow have to get over here. It also does not take into account anyone here in the U.S. that might be a terrorist. Do you honestly believe that if we pull out of Iraq, that the terrorists would somehow all get on a plane and come over here???

If you can't admit it or you think war was the right thing to do. Provide a source to material (dated before the invasion) that shows why we went to war.

By the way, Saddam was entirely under our control from Gulf War I and if you argue that Saddam was the reason we went, why aren't we going after any other dictators who are terrible?

Admit it ... you got nothing!

McCain opposed the gay rights amendment, initially opposed the Bush tax cuts, authored the illegal alien amnesty bill and called Rumsfeld the worst Secretary of Defense in U.S. History.

Romney was pro choice as of 2002, adopted a state run healthcare program, supported gay rights and supports the assault weapons ban -- he conveniently joined the NRA just a few months ago.

Giulianni is pro-choice, pro-gay rights and believes in what he calls "reasonable" gun ownership regulation (he supports the assault weapons ban.

For soldiers who have served in combat, I am curious to know, if at all, how your religious and spiritual beliefs have changed after serving in combat?

I would think that being hands on in armed conflict would make you think about God.

Nations never go to war over what is morally right or wrong. Expansionism or maintaining the status quo is always the motivation for war. Moral issues are only used to justify a war and convince the populace to take arms.
Nations posture for war long before its outbreak. They wait for the spark that brings national outrage. The sinking of the Maine and the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, and 9/11 were all events that sparked wars in which battlelines had already been drawn and allies already chosen. Every war presents an economic advantage for the victor.
9/11 was the spark that drew Americans into the Middle-East. But what is the economic advantage to be obtain? The notion of controlling oil resources seems weak. America could have easily invented its way out of oil dependency for less than the overall cost of the Iraq war.
So, what is the underlying reason that the USA is expending so much of its wealth and the lives of its youth on Iraq? How is the wealth of the country at stake?
