How Do we get the illegals out of the USA?
They are dependant on our medical attention which taxpayers have to pay out of our taxes.

and then was ousted in a coup by the military?

Isn't Pakistand chock full of Radical islamists who would love to turn that country into a islamic state? In fact, if there was a democratically held election and all Pakistanis had a vote, would the result of said election not be that those who are proponents of an islamic state be the ones elected? So why is Bush calling for democratic elections? is it because he knows what the results would be ahead of time...and the election would be stolen?

I am 77. A younger and bigger man told me that his son was a highway patrolman and was going to do a complete background check on me. Him and his buddy then made a false statrment that I tried to run him down. I found out that he has no son on the Highway patrol. How can I stop this type of abuse?

We currently have some of the lowest living standards in the UK. The South Wales Valleys even receive special EU funding as its such a poor area (I know this first hand as I live there)!

What would an independent Welsh Government do to make life better for the people of Wales? So many problems have spilled over from England into Wales, such as mass immigration. Would we benefit from breaking with London?

I haven't heard of a single thing, ever. I'm wondering if the US Navy or any of its allies have had any involvement in the war. Looking to be educated. Thanks!

Most people who are trying to invade the privacy of women are ALSO against helping the children in the cities, who have horrible education and are almost 70% guaranteed a spot in jail when they are grown. Why do you want to cut programs to single moms. How is it anything other than hypocritical to make a lot of noise about abortion but not give a DAMN about minority and poor children? The general response when I ask about helping these people is: well they shouldn't have kids! I guess they shouldn't fall in love or *gasp* have sex either. I guess the poor should be breeders for infertile wealthy couples, have babies and give them to the rich. Why are you guys against SEX EDUCATION and CONTRACEPTION? The ideal world of June Cleaver, where we all get married to company men and only then lose our virginity is pretty and all, but unrealistic, and perhaps you should devote more time to helping the HUMANS WHO ARE CURRENTLY ALIVE. And, I'm pregnant so I THINK i know, it's a FETUS NOW.

House Minority Leader John Boehner claims that democrats would be "handcuffing our generals and starve our troops, leaving them in harms way" if they have their way with only giving Bush a quarter of the money he asked for.

But wait a minute. Congress only has power in funding, not in pulling the troops out. This means the ultimate decision rests with Bush. So if congress works it out that Bush only gets a quarter of the funding, will he still make them stay in Iraq? Is Bush that inhumane that he would handcuff our generals and starve our troops, leaving them in harms way?

Need a link, here ya go. I saw it on CNN, but Fox news is reporting the same thing. Just so you righties and Bush supporters are happy, I'm giving you the fox link:

They are covering the story on CNN as we speak if you want to hear it on the other side as well.

It is this reporter's opinion that the amnesty crowd won’t die easily.Led by Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, D-Nev., Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., and company, they've tried five times to shove comprehensive immigration reform through and each time the American people, in their infinite wisdom, have rebuked them. The defeat of the DREAM Act was a major setback. Then came California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s attempt to add the AgJOBS bill to the Farm Bill and again they fell flat on their faces. Feinstein admitted that amnesty efforts lacked popular support and its proponents could not overcome the opposition. The recent Bank of America fiasco is further evidence that when the people speak, the amnesty crowd listens. Customers tore up their BoA credit cards when the bank decided to give credit cards to illegals. It cost Bank of America a 32-percent drop in business. The threat is not over. Feinstein plans to bring up AgJOBS amnesty as a stand-alone bill later this year. But the amnesty crowd may be getting the message. Eighty House Democrats and Republicans teamed up to propose a new immigration enforcement bill saying they reject the Reid-Kennedy attempt at amnesty. A large number of rank-and-file Democrats agree with most Republicans that the first step should be a get-tough approach to border security. This new approach includes going after businesses that hire illegals; improving information sharing among the IRS, Homeland Security, and Social Security to track illegals; and increasing the number of enforcement agents at the border. We the people are speaking up. The people are fed up with plans to merge the United States into a North American Union with Canada and Mexico which would destroy American sovereignty.
We are: Fed up with the refusal of the Federal government to secure our borders.
Fed up with armed Mexicans illegally crossing our borders and assaulting Americans.
Fed up when Americans like border agents Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean are sent to prison for defending us from drug-smuggling illegals.
Fed up with the millions of illegals in America costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
Fed up with a president who orders 160,000 young Americans into harm’s way, thousands of miles from home, yet refuses to secure America.
Fed up with politicians who refuse to enforce immigration laws and claim it is “impossible” to deport criminals who are here illegally
Fed up with illegals who take advantage of free medical services to dump their medical bills on our backs and push our hospitals into bankruptcy.
Fed up with federal, state, and local systems overrun by illegal aliens costing taxpayers billions each year.
Fed up with the fact that illegal aliens kill an average of 12 Americans every day.
Fed up with politicians who pamper illegals with driver’s licenses and free public services.
Americans are fed up with the Mexicanization of America! And finally, we are fed up with a president and members of Congress who consistently work on behalf of illegals and the state of Mexico and against the interests of the American people.

The American people are fed up, mad as he!!, and we are not going to take it anymore!

Wonder what the reaction would be if unemployed AMERICAN CITIZENS hung around Home Depot hoping to get picked up for a day job?

Would they be arrested for loitering? Would there be riots resulting from illegals outraged that someone is standing on their corner trying to get “their” jobs?

When George W. Bush was the governor of Texas, the state investigated, indicted, convicted and sentenced to prison for 10 years a county sheriff who, with his deputies, had waterboarded a criminal suspect. That sheriff got no pardon from Gov. Bush.

Waterboarding is torture in the eyes of all civilized peoples, no matter how desperately President George W. Bush tries to rewrite the English language, with which he has only a passing familiarity, anyway. No matter how desperately his entire administration tries to redefine the word "torture" to cover the fact that not only have they acquiesced in its use, but they also have ordered its use.

The president, Vice President Dick Cheney, and their cronies and legal mouthpieces such as David Addington, John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales are doing all they can to avoid one day facing the bar of justice, at home or in The Hague, and being called to account for crimes against humanity.

We live in a medium sized city, and the school my son attends is predominately Hipsanic, because of the huge influx of illegal immigrants.

I recently found out that the person watching the students on the playgorund is Spanish speaking and cannot fluently communicate with the English speaking students. Therefore if there was an emergency, or an injury, this playground monitor would not be able to communicate with my son.

I am all for intergration, however opposed I am to illegal immigration in general. But I find this situation unacceptable in an American school. Shouldn't people responsible for our children be able to communicate with our kids? It troubles me that when she gives directions, the kids in his class who speak Spanish must translate them to my son and the other English speaking students. This is a major safety issue, and I am terribly worried and disappointed.

How would you handle this situation?

Why do so many America have such a negative opinion of this form of Government? I'm well aware of the history behind it, as well as how sucessful Capitalism is (or is it? With 1% of the popultion controlling 50% of the wealth and the Middle Class rapidly dissolving, but thats not my point).

But seriously, has EVERYBODY out there bashing Socialism read anything by Marx? If executed correctly Communism/Socialism is really a beautiful system of government, if not a bit idealist.

I'm as Pro-American as anybody, so don't start calling me "Red" or anything like that, mostly because I'm not, I just felt the question needed to be asked.
