Politics & Government - 12 November 2007

I keep hearing about how poor these families are who are migrating to the US and breaking laws while doing so. I keep hearing that we are supposed to pardon them because they are poor and only trying to feed their children.

This question applies to ANYONE, legal citizen or not, If I were to go breed like an animal without taking any personal responsibility for the life I created and asked you to pay for my children would you complain? Or would you say say I was just trying to make a better life for my children?

Please explain to me how that argument follows logically

We know the crimes they've committed, yet,they still both hold office.Treason is a high crime.Lying to the American people to go to war,outing CIA operates,invasion of privacy of Americans without cause, etc.Why aren't we protesting this present corrupt government? If Bill Clinton can be impeached for lying to Americans about a sexual incident that wasn't a matter of national security,why hasn't Bush been impeached for the thousands of lives that have be lost based on lies?

This is a commonly held argument to support liberal immigration policy, especially toward illegals.
Personally, I am in favor of letting just about any law abiding, well intentioned person into America. However, I think this 'work we won't do' is a bogus argument.
American's dig ditches, wallow in fish guts, clean out chemical toilets...

There's no such thing as a job an American won't do, only Wages and Working Conditions americans won't Accept!

So, if immigrants do work for less money and worse conditions, isn't it really true that immigrants just drive down wages??

have u heard of these dudes? actully, there was some girls there too, including an actress!! there was on black guy, who was i think the leader. they were around during the 1970's i think, and they were a revolutionary gorilla group who robbed banks to bring down the fascist goverment.

what do u think of them and their goal to make things chaotic? for u old people out there, do u remember them in the news or anything? what do u think inspires these groups to show up? is it poverty, police brutability, or something like that? maybe theyre parents brought them up with anarchist views?

My son thinks you deserve his for sure, and he's only 10.
Today, as part of our commemoration of Veteran's Day, we had a BBQ, as a lot of Americans do, but my son didn't want to eat his coleslaw (he's finicky), so I told him, "if you don't eat it, I'm going to tell the Vets on you."

He jumped to attention and said, "Okay, nevermind, I'll eat it."

He ate it all, and I made sure to give him a big scoop!

See, after all you Ladies and Gentlemen have done for our country, you still have the same effect of respect as Veterans, even in the young, who have never seen the pains of war.

We are grateful to you, for everything, but you get a little added extra today for making my son eat his veges!

Have a terriffic Day, and thank you all.


PS This is a true story, and I'm still laughing about it!

First off, this isn't illegal immigrant bashing. It's just an honest observation.

The word 'immigrant' conjures up images of someone who comes to this country with the intention of living the 'American dream', assimilating to a reasonable degree, and who wants to be a loyal part of this nation.

The majority of illegal 'immigrants' have no love, loyalty, or desire to become 'part of' America. They're just desperate for work that pays better than in Mexico, and want to send money back home. Many of them flat out despise our country, and aren't shy about expressing it. They have no intention of assimilation. Many even refer to 'reconquista'.

To me, the term 'immigrant' is completely inappropriate to these persons. The term 'migrant' refers to someone who temporarily goes somewhere, with no intention of setting down roots, assimilating, or becomming a part of the community.

Shouldn't we start calling them 'Illegal Migrants'??

Why is Iran Dying For a Fight? If you look into it ? Do you believe these stats affect them or "those" right now in positions of authority as they bait the US?

Russia has similar woes. Immigrants are supporting the economy. Yet Putin turns a blind eye as Neo Nazi Youth beat the non-whites in public? Current TV documentary. Al Gore's network.

DO you find this interesting ? Just another side note. Asia Times.com has alot of very different ideas. For both sides of the aisle. I have noticed a clear shift away from Bush in past weeks. Check out the Musharraff article today. Thanks for your time.

My ex and I are in disagreement over who should keep a diamond ring.

We were together for 2 1/2 years and for my birthday he gave me a diamond ring (a "promise" ring). Eventually he broke up with me after a lot of relationship problems we were having cause by us both, but we managed to come out of it still friends. Then I joined the Army and because I was told I couldn't bring jewelry to basic, and I didn't feel comfortable bring something that valuable with me, I left it with him and told him when I was done with all my training and came back home I would get it back from him...he had no arguments. Well, I've been out of training for a while now and have asked him several times to give it back and he refuses. He said he believes it has more sentimental value to him than it does to me...like he has the right to presume how much it means to me. I am willing to do what's necessary to get it back if its legally mine. So who has the right to keep it?

I received a e-mail. It took everything Hillary has said out of context her resolve to put the checks and balances back in place and not allow big business to continue to steal and compared her to Hitler trying to scare people out of voting for her.

The fact that money and power corrupt with out checks and balances.

How do you think the primary results would differ if held in Utah instead of Iowa? Georgia instead of New Hampshire? Are we excluding certain races and religions based on geography? Is it time to have the initial primaries moved to states that are more representative of our ethnic diversity?

one of my answers was recently rejected with a violation notice [see the violation appeal board for specific details if you care].

I responded to a question that included foul language with a comment that I thought was politically protected free speech.

I used no foul language and attacked no specific individual. All I did was imply that the Democrats must like Hillary because of her questionable ethical stances on a series of issues.


Who else has been issued a violation notice for what seems like Constitutionally protected political speech?

Do we have some politically correct types wandering around the boards trying to have answers they dislike removed simply for their political tilt?


{Or is this another questionable ethical activity by a "misguided" low level Hillary campaign staffer??}

Naw. Not even they would stoop that low -- or would they?
