do you agree that...?

the word "immigrant" has received a silent "illegal" before it on this site?

let me explain

if i posted a question asking, "do you love immigrants?"

i would probably receive many responses similar to "no, they broke the law, they need to go home."

but notice i never once used the word "illegal"

so back to my question, why has it come to the point where almost everyone on "yahoo answers" thinks the word "immigrant" now means "illegal immigrant?"

in case people have not noticed, this is the "immigration" forum which means questions are open for both illegal and legal immigration topics

but for a long time, i've seen so many jump to the conclusion that "immigrant" means "illegal immigrant" and the question was therefore completely taken out of context

please, give me your thoughts

Well the immigration abomination is finally dead. The majority of Americans approve of the death. One giant...

issue laid to rest. When will the majority of Americans voices be heard concerning Iraq? I say we get a December gift as the troops start arriving home? The tide is shifting.

Clinton left office with a approval rating, of 65%, how did Bush follow?

Although Americans will argue, there is a direct link between Bill Clinton 's bombing campaign designed to weaken Saddam Hussein's grip on power over Iraq. The four-day campaign that was to "degrade" Iraq's ability to manufacture and use weapons of mass destruction estimated that the attack "probably led to tens of thousands of deaths" of Sudanese civilians. In "retaliation", a Muslim organization bombed a Planet Hollywood restaurant in Cape Town, South Africa on August 25, killing two and injuring 26. Osama bin Laden also pledged to attack the US again. His refusal
to prosecute Saddam Hussein and his regime for war crimes as Congress urged was neglected due Clinton"s impeachment trial. popular solgans after read MISSION ACCOMPLISED?????

For all you good Bush haters, who will you aim your ire at when he is gone? Will all that anger dissipate?

Will it exacerbate the global warming or global climate change or whatever they are calling it nowadays? I wonder.

What have we even gained by the put down of the amnesty bill?

Though the amnesty bill's demise was a victory for the average citizen, we need more. Congress has made it clear they will only discuss tighter border security in conjunction with an amnesty program. They have no intention of building a fence, only to erase the borders in 2010. We need to continue the momentum and swing this pendulem back onto the people's side. We are at war with our own govenrment on this issue, and I am sure they are already devising another bill with a stronger shroud of border enforcement.

Someone said we have social healthcare, in the ER's they can't turn you away. Isn't that horribly inefficient?

so, if someone goes to an ER they can get care, even if they can't pay for it...

but someone has to pay for it? Is this why insurance rates have been increasing at an alarming degree?

have you seen the costs of an ER visit? and how much they charge for simple procedures? it's the highest costs in the hospital... and someone is paying for that, for all those that can't pay...

if we already have it, shouldn't we at least make it efficient?

House rejects proposal to defund Cheney AP -
http://news.yahoo.com/i/703;_ylt=Am.f5r7ao6bE9_3nQuStDV6MwfIE

WASHINGTON - Vice President Dick Cheney won't lose his home, his office and his entertainment expense account after all. The House on Thursday rejected an attempt to eliminate the vice president's executive office budget, a move that Democrats tied to Cheney's assertion that his office didn't need to comply with national security disclosure rules required of other executive branch agencies.

What is the best way to force the U.S. government to enforce the immigration laws?

We have forced them to kill the "amnesty for illegals" fiasco.(Over 80% of those polled said it was unacceptable.)

So how can we (as legal, law abiding, legally registered voters) force them to build the wall, deport ALL the illegal criminals, and secure our borders once and for all?

Don't try to stop us now. It's WAY to late for that!
I'm just getting warmed up. :)

Suggestions? Ideas? Phone numbers or websites?

Lent my $300 camera to my friend who lives in a group home?

And she moved away, she said she gave it to this other girl to bring it back to school the following week (which also happens to be the end of school) and the next Monday the girl claimed not to know anything about the camera. Then she also moved out of the group home. All I know is that my friend is somewhere in Arkansas. Who can I contact to get it back? What should I tell me parents? It's been like 2 months since school's been out and I still don't know what to do.

Is the Generation of 18 to 28 yr olds more Conservative in there morals?

Sometimes I think that this Generation and others coming up will correct what past generations have wronged. Seems that with us going thru all of our parents getting divorced and seeing them use drugs we may as a group be trying to not go that way? I am conservitive to the core and think that there are many my own age that feel the same way I do about Government and morals. Look at History how everything makes a full cicle. You could argue that there have been worse times as far as morals go. Much worse to be exact. Maybe we are starting to correct the wrong? What do you think?
