Almost on a daily basis someone makes some mention to the black being enslaved in this country. Not only are we reminded, it is almost as if we have to be held accountable; however, in the 1650's, 80,000 to 130,000 Irish men, women, and children were sent into slavery. There were some sent to the US to work on plantantions and there were some sent to the Carribean. As a result, many died from starvation and sickness. So, why is it that we just remember the blacks that were forced into slavery?

On the TV News today there have been many reports from the Pakistani earthquake area. There were dozens of women to be seen; NOT ONE was wearing a full veil.

Is this because Pakistani Islam is different to British Isalm? Do they take their Islam from a different Koran?

Or is it that the real reason IS to firmly identify themselves as NOT being a member of British Society?

In Border Fence's Path, Congressional Roadblocks

No sooner did Congress authorize construction of a 700-mile fence on the U.S.-Mexico border last week than lawmakers rushed to approve separate legislation that ensures it will never be built, at least not as advertised, according to Republican lawmakers and immigration experts.GOP leaders have singled out the fence as one of the primary accomplishments of the recently completed session. Many lawmakers plan to highlight their $1.2 billion down payment on its construction as they campaign in the weeks before the midterm elections.But shortly before recessing late Friday, the House and Senate gave the Bush administration leeway to distribute the money to a combination of projects -- not just the physical barrier along the southern border.

For instance: I filed the I-129F Petetion, to get my English fiance here into the states. I did everything to the T.. now i get a letter back from Immigration, our case is on hold until i fill out a paper called an 'IMBRA' Supplement to the I-129F. FIRST OFF... IMBRA, has NOTHING to do with us. I'm a American FEMALE..trying to get my male fiance here. The IMBRA is for American MEN trying to get foreign females here. This does not make sense. I'm pissed off.. Immigration are full of complete idiots!!

I asked this question before and got some interesting answers but the problem is still happening. I live in a largely illegal immigrant neighborhood, I recently moved back to take care of my grandparents per their request. Our next door neighbors blast music every Thursday-Sunday night until 1:30 AM, sometimes 3. There are 24 people living in the house, mostly men but some wives and children too. My friend Marilu lives there, she tells them to turn the music down but they laugh at her and say "What are you gonna do call the cops"? in spanish. I have told them many times to please turn it down, but they laugh and ignore, sometimes theyre too drunk to answer. So I call the cops every weekend, but they get there at like 5 AM when the music is off. I asked the police dept. what I should do, they said to form a community action network, lol the community also play music loud so that wont work. I tried calling INS, they said nothing there can do but call the cops. Im going in circles..

They can deport this guy sure, but he'll be back with a new id and new SS# and new line of work if human sumggling isn't working out for him will drug smuggling work out better.By Louie Gilot / El Paso Times
Article Launched:10/08/2006 12:00:00 AM MDT
An undocumented immigrant who turned to harboring migrants to pay his debt to his own smuggler was sentenced last month to five years of probation and ordered deported, court documents showed and his lawyer, Carlos Spector, said.

Gilberto Vasquez Martinez, 26, of Mexico, pleaded guilty in August to harboring aliens.

On April 25, Vasquez was seen by Border Patrol agents buying large quantities of fried chicken at Church's Chicken on Dyer Street, two dozen tortillas and sodas. Agents followed him to a safe house on Portello Street, where they pushed open the front door and found seven undocumented immigrants sitting on the floor, eating chicken.

In court documents, Vasquez said he made the decision to emigrate to the United States after his father died and his family needed money. He had been smuggled about 15 days before his arrest by a man he knew only as "El Vato." The smuggler told him he could work off his balance by working for him, Vasquez said.

He was given a Ford Explorer and money every three days to feed the other migrants, documents showed.
"This was a heartbreaking case," Spector said. "All this guy did was buy some chicken."

Border Patrol agents reported that tinfoil and bedsheets covered the windows of the safe house to block the view of the interior and that they found cellular phones, bolt cutters and a ledger inside.

So it may be "cool" to support illegal aliens becuase thats what everybody else is doing (Columbia University) but when you have to live in a society that they have a negative impact on...you will see the real picture. Ironically college libs..that claim to be progressive and idealistic are just going with the herd...the same herd that told them to smoke pot., drink beer..and get laid...lol..college was such a joke

People wont admit it, because they dont want to think of themselves as bad people. But people find ways of feeling okay about themselves while they oppress. Most nazis felt good with themselves while doing what they were doing. It's not hard for us to try to rationalize and deny that we are looking down on a group of people because of our stereotypical image of them. Is our government's description of the term illegal/legal enough to suppress millions?

When we go to see our God, I hope he does not hold this against us. That we have kept a group of his people down. Suppressed them and not let them be equal with the rest of God's creations. And that we have felt justified and good with this.
This is a giant sin that we may have to account for someday/time.

Notably, even desperate circumstances don't make a lawless act moral. Proverbs 6:30-31 says, "Men do not despise a thief if he steals to satisfy hunger when he is starving. Yet if he is caught, he must pay sevenfold, though it costs him all the wealth of his house."Illegal aliens rightfully should face a very tough penalty, even if driven to lawbreaking for understandable reasons.Second, the law in Old Testament Israel required resident aliens to assimilate. They were to adapt to Israel's ways, not impose their own. For instance, Deuteronomy 16:9-15 requires all residents to observe the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths. This includes foreigners.Third God ordains civil government. Earthly authorities are his agents to restrain evil, protect the innocent, and punish the wrongdoer.

Romans 13:1-7 describes the divine ordination of civil authorities. It reads in part, "The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted. … "

Civil governments are part of God's common grace to protect people in a fallen, sinful world. It's why we appropriately owe allegiance to governing authorities of this world. It's also why courts of law assess punishment for lawbreaking, rather than mob rule or a tyrant's whim. This is a characteristic under common grace, the rule of law. Scripture passages sometimes referenced in connection with immigration actually speak more to immigrant policy than immigration policy. These are verses such as Leviticus 19:33-34 and Exodus 22:21. The latter passage reads, "Do not mistreat an alien or oppress him, for you were aliens in Egypt."

Such verses call for fairness toward aliens and strangers, the same as how other passages say to treat widows and orphans. Importantly, these passages address treatment of aliens once they are in a country. They don't say anything about the criteria or the process by which aliens originally gained admittance into the nation.

Immigrants are making the same mistakes always! going to the bigger cities, bigger countries where they know the opportunities are difficult to get because they must be distributed between more people. Can that be the reason of many persons not well adapted to ther host countries?
Is racism the problem or clasism? is the people against ethnic groups or their low levels of success?

The funds may also be spent on roads, technology and "tactical infrastructure" to support the Department of Homeland Security's preferred option of a "virtual fence."

What's more, in a late-night concession to win over wavering Republicans, GOP congressional leaders pledged in writing that Native American tribes, members of Congress, governors and local leaders would get a say in "the exact placement" of any structure, and that Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff would have the flexibility to use alternatives "when fencing is ineffective or impractical."

The loopholes leave the Bush administration with authority to decide where, when and how long a fence will be built, except for small stretches east of San Diego and in western Arizona. Homeland Security officials have proposed a fence half as long, lawmakers said.

Since I live in Mexico I really cant celebrate since there is nothing such as "Hispanic heritage month" in Mexico but here is one way some of my friends back in the USA are doing to show their support and to celebrate Hispanic heritage months. (ooooh how I wish I was there to celebrate with them all".........

My friends told me that they play Banda or Ranchero music load in their pick up trucks and go to a local Home depot or street corners where the illegals gather looking for jobs and pick up as many illegals Mexicans as they can pile up in their truck and drive them all straight to the locals INS office. They said that they plan on doing this for the whole month to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month" and further on as well.

What are your plans to celebrate Hispanic Heritage month"....Lots of us would love to hear of your ideas and plans.
