The immigration has been a bit one sided . . . Would you agree or disagree that certain immigrants deserve precedence or expedited service for legal status? Specifically, would you agree or disagree that any person who has a four year college degree or better from an American University or comprable international university should receive expedited immigration service pending back ground checks? Or how about immigrants that have the financial resources to reasonably support themselves and or open a small business? Do you think these people should be lumped together with other illegal immigrants or do they deserve special status? Thank you in advance for your response(s).

I want to make this right. I have been freaking out over it since it happened. I hit a parked car in a parking lot and panicked and left. Now I want to go back and make everything right. I feel really bad about it. I know it was wrong and I should have stopped but I got scared and left. I really need some advice on how to make this right. Who do I go back and give my info to? This happened in a different county than I live in. Can someone help me please?

Seems our politicians realize that a wall will never work .That denying children an education and food and medical service is not going to end the problem Rather we will become like many African nations who's policies lead to the deaths of many people . Those people in Africa starve to death just miles away from food and water .
Separate but equal was tried and we know that ended badly with a plethora of legal documents taking away employer's rights to hire who they want .
Mandating that even if you want you can not hire the best applicant and instead must give preffrence to minorities .

Do we really want to bring back this mental mind set of division between people's or work towards a reasonable solution .

The solutions is employer based and with Americans who hire domestic labor cheap trying to one up the neighbors by having hired help .
If you want a household staff do as the English do . Imagine actually paying a salary commensurate with that of an office manager .

Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Keith Olbermann.

They all say things that make people laugh. Keith does it without even realizing it....

Regardless of your theory on the matter, (whether they "let it happen it happen on purpose", "made it happen on purpose" or simply that those involved were grossly negligent), do think Bush was a part of it?

I'm more inclined to think of a Cheney & Co. implication simply because of Bush's sheer idiocy and general bumbling over important matters.

Driving at 70 on a 65 mph highway, cop pulls over for 90, person has no license and is arrested for that and speeding? Is it right? What can be done?

Additional Details

Another person in the car with expired license was let go to drive the vehicle. I've heard of many instances where they just give citations.

It was supposed to make our enemies drop their weapons and pursue love with the soldier standing next to them. The Pentagon admitted this yesterday. It was to cost over 7 million dollars. Is this the kind of thing our taxes are paying for? I have heard it all now.

The bill has a few flaws that have to be changed..
here is an idea what should be proposed. what do you think?

1 Finish the FENCE, close the border securely
2. all illegals have 60 days to register.
3. all that have been convicted of crime are deported.
4. temporary work cards givin to workers, they will pay $5000 fine. pay FICA, TAXES, and SSI If they work here.
5. They apply for legal citizenship.
6. Failure to do so will result in perminant deportation.
7. No Anchor baby law.

Look at this! Can you believe it? Democrats are putting their propaganda in a KID'S BOOK!!

I wonder if "Mommy wants it to be legal for other mommies to kill their children" is in there? I doubt it. That would turn the kid into a Republican for life, once they knew what "rights" mommy wants.

My neighbour is shooting birds clearly for pleasure in his back garden. The other day I found a pigeon with a broken wing in my front court, called RSPCA, who collected it. Today there is a dead pigeon in my back garden. Not to mention that both my wife and I are frightened when he pulls the trigger. I would like to know what rights does he have regarding shooting birds in his back garden? I fully condemn killing any animals for pleasure but I know there are certain birds that can be shot legally but also some circumstances should be met regarding safety. Also, I'm sure he is not a professional, sometimes under the influence of alcohol, he just doesn't shoot properly and the poor animal suffers from injury. I don't want to spark a row with him because I want to live here for a couple of more years and knowing his intelligence level, I'm not sure I can properly approach him. Thanks in advance for any advice.

If you're one of those Liberals always calling people who oppose illegal immigration bigots,doesn't it feel weird to be on the same side as Bush?

This isn't really political.. but it deals with political correctness (i guess)

The other day I had to use the bathroom reeeeeeeeeeal bad.. the only stall that was available was the handicap, so I used it. When I came out there was a woman in a wheelchair giving me the most evil eye ever, as I walked by she said under her breath "Inconsiderate". That really bothered me. Why should I wait in line for a bathroom when there is one available.

Am I completely out of line on this subject... or is just another case of people being overcompensated for their misfortunes, thus making them nasty when they have to wait a few minutes. I'm not about to walk on egg shells, what do you think?
