Why doesn't the United States send Mexico a bill for all the illegal immigrants.

Its about $970 for the paperwork and everything from what I understand and there are about 12,000,000 Illeagal Immigrants from Mexico. Multiply the two and you get $11,640,000,000.00, that could go towards anything.

Why is welfare often associated with the Democratic party when it's a federal policy? Welfare isn't only limited to Democrats or Democratic voters. The last Democratic president (Bill Clinton) signed a bill to cut welfare and change state role. I just don't understand why people talk about welfare as though it's a Democratic program. Could someone explain this to me.

Liberal/Humanist questions with reactionary answers disagreeing.

Conservative/Fundamentalist/Pro-war questions with anti-war answers.

Is it all about some thrill they get out of answering a question just to disagree with the asker? Most people dont even answer questions with people they agree with?

Also, isnt this enabling warmongers and/or religous fanatics with nowhere else to turn?

There are already exists in the Constitution of the United States for Native Americans. If Mexicans claim they have an inalienable right to be here (in the US) then the Constitution already identifies Native Americans and allows for self-government and self rule. Reservations were established to accomidate. If Mexicans claim they have a right to be here and don't want to immigrate legally... I say round them up and put them on the Indian Reservations already established in this country. What do you think of that idea?

the U.S.?

Why do we have relations with dicatorships in Saudi Arabia and Pakistan and communist China and Vietnam, but not Cuba?

======================

North Korea signed an accord in February with the U.S., Japan, South Korea, Russia and China to end its pursuit of nuclear weapons in exchange for energy aid and normalized relations with the governments in Washington and Tokyo. Kim Jong Il's regime shut down its Yongbyon reactor, which produced weapons-grade plutonium, in July.

The U.S. and North Korea have discussed the country's removal from the State Department's list of states sponsoring terrorism as part of the agreement.

I have just recently obtained my GED. I have heard many different things from people stating that I cannot go into the military without a HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. And that I CAN be accepted into the Marines with just a GED but its rare... Can anyone with experience clarify this for me please? :] I've also heard that Marines don't get sign on bonuses quite as much as other branches.... Not that important but would like to know a bit about that?

as everday passes and women fight harder and harder to be teated equal as a man, i think we should let them, let them get sacked in the N.F.L , we should be able to knock their lights out in self defence, send them with troops in Iraq, and when husband and wife have a fight where police come to the resident, stop putting the man in cuffs off the bat as a precaution until the cops find out wut happened.

I ask this because cons are always coming up with conspiracy theories and excuses when I hit them with facts.

Apparently the census, the treasury department, whitehouse.org, and all the scientific organizations are all controlled by liberals. It's one big tin foil hat liberal conspiracy. Only Hannity and Limbaugh "tell it like it is".
