Anyone see history repeating itself - if citizens get slack during the summer months?
EXAMPLE :
Jose Luis Rojas, an illegal immigrant who acquired permanent residency and citizenship after Ronald Reagan's 1986 amnesty, is confident that a solution is only a matter of time.

"I came to America as an illegal worker and now I'm a citizen," Rojas said. "That's why I say to them just be patient."

Illegal immigrants refrain: 'Leaving America is not an option'

How come doing an illegal act gives you the right to tell citizens and lawmakers which options you will obey ?
Does it seem fair ?

I was not really happy with the answers the first time I asked this question, so I'm going for a second opinion here...

The whole idea is ridiculous! If America needs workers in certain fields, secure our borders, and start a good guest worker program. Let them come legally, and leave legally 2 or 3 year at a time. If they don't follow the rules they should be jailed on a work farm. Any other plan is total bulls,,t! And I'm tired of hearing that these people are only working the jobs that Americans don't want. I can tell you from personal experiance that is also bulls..t! Come on Americans, stand up! You will all be sorry in ten years when it is hard for your kids to find jobs... then you will understand. THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE! Let it also be known that if the government is allowed to do this once, be assured they will pull the SH.T again.

Guest worker plan and secure the border! Finished!

The Law Enforcement involvement with Special Olympics New Jersey began 23 years ago when Port Authority of New York and New Jersey officer Stephen Vitale was asked to photograph a local Special Olympics competition. Vitale was so moved by the athletes and their determination that he encouraged other officers to volunteer their time. From that flicker of interest, a legion of Law Enforcement support was ignited and today, the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics New Jersey is a year-round “Champion” sponsor.

In 1984, the first New Jersey Torch Run was conceived to raise funds and awareness for the Special Olympics program. Today the Torch Run travels 950 miles, originating in 27 separate points statewide, and travels through 384 communities, with some 2,700 officers from all branches of law enforcement participating.

If I drive over the speed limit...if I drink and drive....if I jaywalk...the police will make me pay and the government will back them. It seems that if a government is choosing which laws it enforces then all laws are void. If we are a "country of laws" the second that all are not punished then all laws have no backing. If a police officer is speeding without lights on or going to an emerg., why can't he get a ticket from me. If he/she passes me and I am going the limit, then they have to be speeding. Just wondering why some laws are ok to overlook while others aren't.

If the argument for ownership of firearms is for protection against the criminals who own guns, then why is the crime and violence much lower in certain countries (say Japan or England), where gun owernship is highly restricted? If restricting or criminalizing gun ownership supposedly will only help the criminals, why don't criminals in Japan or England take advantage of the strict gun laws, get themselves some guys and start creating chaos?

Today I found out that I'm gona be kicked out the Navy. About a month and a half ago I had a bad cold. My wife said she had some caugh syrup. I looked at the bottle and it said robotusim and I figured it was the same stuff they sell in the store. But it was perscribed to her. I took it and the next day I had a piss test. I popped on codean and am now getting kicked out for taking caugh syrup. I took the perscription in to the doctor and she said that it was what made me pop on the piss test. Do you think it is right they kick me out for this. I have been in the Navy for 4 1/2 years and have never been in trouble before.

P.S. I know I'm a dumb redneck and cant spell so please dont tell me that.

According to NY Times columnist Paul Krugman " the administration's no reality zone extends a long way beyond the White House. Millions of Americans believe that patriotic torturers are keeping us safe, that there is a vast Islamic axis of evil, that victory in Iraq is just around the corner, that Bush appointees are doing a heckuva job-- and that news reports cotradicting these beliefs reflect liberal media bias."

Charitable Virginia cops save Christmas

RICHMOND, Va.- Christmas was saved for a single mother and her son when officers from the Louisa Sheriff’s Department stepped in to play Santa.

Robin Robinson Fetrow saved all year for her son, Brandon’s holiday gifts, only to find them all stolen from beneath their tree last week.

With the list of items stolen, officers investigating the crime contacted the department chaplain, who worked with the community church to raise funds to replace the stolen gifts. Members of the department also pitched in, leaving Brandon with even more gifts than before.

"I’m overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity of the people in this county,” Fetrow said. “My son is going to have a great Christmas."

As a spoof on compassionate conservatism, my friend Robert calls himself a "compassionless liberal." It's funny, but in light of the recent immigration upheaval, it makes me wonder what ever happened to the compassion in compassionate conservatism? Indeed it would seem that when it comes to illegal immigrants we compassionate conservatives are quick to judge, point fingers away from ourselves, and hate monger those who are committing the haneous crime of illegal immigration. In fact, somewhere in the middle of all the rabble, I know, being conservative myself, that there is a conscientious argument to be made against the immigration bill. But my message for you today is, if you're focused on the lawbreakers as being brown-skinned, then you're voice isn't being heard. We who have rightfully inherited this country from the sacrifices of our ancestors are in grave danger of losing what we have, and when we lose it, it won't be because of immigrants. Yes, you heard me right.

My stepson and I are planning on paying back a bus company on the value of the tickets my 14-year-old stepson has counterfeited to get to school. (this will be coming out of his money) However, I'm not so sure what is the best way to settle this issue. I know that this bus company is pretty malicious and not the most kindest people in the world. Im not so sure whether I should settle this in person, but I'm leaning towards that. My stepson fears and is worried about how they will react, considering that they know how he looks like when they caught him using those tickets. Not to mention, we will also be riding that bus to go the company for pay them back. I'm not so sure what we should say to them? Also, if they did press charges on him, will paying restitution help in his sentencing? (I truly fear that he will get sent to a detention facility, because in my state, the parents have to pay $100 daily for the stay, and i am unable to afford that)

Ever wonder about the CONNECTION? Oil says "we got to explore for more drilling sites" Enviro's say "no, no your destoying our planet". Oil says "we need more refineries". Enviro's say "no, no your polluting our planet". Quite a bonanza these two "little" outfits got going would'nt you say, at least for the elitist that run them? Can't drill, can't build new refineries, so gotta raise prices! It's become so transparent, oil says "we need" enviro says "your killing us", & with PERFECT timing, right on cue, EVERYTIME!!! Global warming is "their" masterpiece to wealth. Keeps oil revenues high per production & the so called "greenies" rich thru seduction! Keeps the republocrat politicians(magicians!) with newer style people control issues like increased taxes & restrictive legislation. How gullible can the American public get? Pretty gullible if you ask me! Whats your take on all this???
