EDINBURG, Texas (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called a plan to build fencing along parts of the Mexico border a "terrible idea" that overlooks local communities.
Pelosi made the comments during her trip to the Rio Grande Valley for the annual Hispanic Engineering, Science & Technology Week conference at the University of Texas-Pan American.

"I have been against the fence, I thought it's a bad idea even when it was just a matter of discussion," said Pelosi, D-Calif. "These are communities where you have a border going through them, they are not communities where you have a fence splitting them
Pelosi also touted legislation known as the DREAM Act that would make it easier for some illegal immigrants to receive higher education benefits. She spoke at a conference that drew more than 5,000 students for activities designed to inspire careers in science and technology

3 years ago I was 21 and just entering Airborne training. I was given 20,000 sign on bonus and a 20,000 college assistance bonus before entering. I never recieved these because soon after I went AWOL and now I guess I'm a deserter but I talked to my recruiter last week and he said I can't be considered a deserter because I never made it to my Unit. I was only in the army for 5 months before leaving (going Awol). My reasons are just excuses I believe in my heart that I am worthless for doing this and I don't deserve to be in the greatest country in the world. My recruiter has no idea what my status is. You see I was pulled over once and recieved a speeding ticket. I have bought a vehicle and I have had backround checks run on me by employers. I have a very good job and have had it for 3 years and now I am going through depression spells realizing I am a loser for doing what I did. I drank to much this weekend and got arrested for a disorderly and I still did not get arrested????????????

I heard that Rush Limbaugh is running for Pres in '08.

I am totally stoked because I did not think that there could ever be anyone better than Bush. But now it looks like there is. Is it true that he is Running in '08?

And would Stephen Colbert be a good running mate?

Mr. Beauchamp is a liar, The New York times can't figure out if a mistake was made in the Move on Ad, The Ombundsman says they did and is contradicted by other staff members. And Media matters boosts a man kicked out of Boot camp and calls him a war Hero.

The constitution states in the event of invasion a state can form a militia. If the southern states declared an invasion was occurring due to the mass numbers of illegal immigration and made plans to form a militia under the constitution provision, would the federal government speed up its efforts to solve the illegal immigration problem or would they react in a negative manner to the states? How do you think they would react?

I saw the images of the 2 building adjacent to the Navy building that looks like a Swastika from the air in my local news. The 2 building adjacent to it look like 2 fighter jets from above pointing towards the Swastika building.
Am I seeing things? You can see the image using Google.
It looks cool.

If we could carve the US into three equal segments geographically, one for libs, one for conservatives and one for indies, would you oppose it? Each segment could have their own laws and own governing body. That way you can have all the universal health care and welfare you want so long as you pay for it. Sound good?

All day long we are showered with lib questions with them foaming at the mouth about how bad Bush is. Later in the afternoon more conservatives show up on here to defend our great President. Is it because conservatives actually have a job and are getting home from work and libs are still in their pajama's all day because they don't work?? Just asking....

He called any soldier that doesn't believe in the war in Iraq, a false soldier. Does this mean He's calling Tillman a false soldier too? Should Congress passes a resolution against him like they did with Move-on.org?

The Bush administration also distanced itself from radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, who has called U.S. troops who oppose the war "phony soldiers."

Limbaugh had argued with a caller on Wednesday about when U.S. troops ought to be brought home. The caller, who identified himself as "Mike" from Chicago and said he was an a Iraq veteran and a Republican, pushed Limbaugh on whether the occupation in Iraq would last forever.

Limbaugh referred to soldiers who criticize the war and urge that troops be brought home as "phony troops."

"Rush Limbaugh, who, in January, called Vietnam veteran Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb., 'Senator Betrayus' for disagreeing with President Bush, has made no secret of his disdain for those who serve and speak out. Where was Rush Limbaugh when it came time to serve his country?"

Limbaugh has not served in the military.

Hitler's genocidal rage through Europe was not just the Jews No no he had plans for Europe and the Gypsies were going to be rounded up and killed until there wasn't one of them left - A genocide of an entire race of people

Also on the chopping block were Jehovah Witness's but that isn't a race - it is a religion - Nonetheless no homeland for them either

There are more but you get the idea

Why didn't all the races who had no homeland in Europe recieve a nation state for themselves ?

Have you ever wondered what happen to all the nuclear weapons after the Soviet Union was divided? If you notice most of the iraqis are carrying AK-47s. And alot of the equipment that the enemy uses is Russian made. The rockets fired at Israel last summer where Russian made. So my assumtion is; they could very well have some of the Nuclear weapons that the soviets once had!

He knew he was here illegally.
He knew he was evading taxes.
Yet he thought that because he had a job, he was not breaking the law or somehow incapable of being a criminal.

Do illegal aliens believe that ignorance of the law is an excuse to break it?
