Not deporting illegal immigrants will cause taxes to be raised on the middle class. Democrat candidates don't tell you their amnesty plan is expected to cost around $2.5 trillion (congressional testimony)

Not deporting them will also increase crime against Americans. Illegal immigrants create a significant portion of crime in America even while they are only 10% of the population.

Around 27 percent of all federal prisoners are criminal aliens. http://www.gao.gov/htext/d05337r.html ( U.S. government report on a U.S. government website )

Article II of the Constitution does not preclude him from the Presidency or Vice Presidency based on him having served two elected terms. Nobody disputes this, but people get confused with Amendments XII and XXII.

Amendment XII says "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States."

Amendment XXII says "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice..."

People believe that he is ineligible for the Vice Presidency because he is ineligible for the Presidency. This is false. He is only ineligible to be elected to the Presidency. Nothing precludes him from succeeding to the nation's highest office. Considering all of this, he is eligible to be elected Vice President and eligible to succeed, but not be elected to, the Presidency.
What are your thoughts on this?

33 Senators Voted Against English as America 's Official Language June 6, 2007

Senators,

Your vote against an amendment to the Immigration Bill 1348, to make English America's official language is astounding. On D-Day no less when we honor those that sacrificed in order to secure the bedrock character and principles of America . I can only surmise your vote reflects a loyalty to illegal aliens.

I don't much care where you come from, what your religion is, whether you're black, white or some other color, male or female, Democrat, Republican or Independent, but I do care when you're a United States Senator, representing citizens of America and vote against English as the official language of the United States.

Your vote reflects betrayal, political surrender, violates your pledge of allegiance, dishonors historical principle, rejects patriotism, borders on traitorous action and, in my opinion, makes you unfit to serve as a United States Senator... impeachment, recall, or other appropriate action is warrented.

Worse, 4 of you voting against English as America 's official language are presidential candidates: Senator Biden, Senator Clinton, Senator Dodd, and Senator Obama.

Those 4 Senators vying to lead America but won't or don't have the courage to cast a vote in favor of English as America's official language when 91% of American citizens want English officially designated as our language.

This is the second time in the last several months this list of Senators have disgraced themselves as political hacks... unworthy as Senators and certainly unqualifed to serve as President of the United States.

If America is as angry as I am, you will realize a back-lash so stunning it will literally rock you out of your panties... and preferably, totally out of the United States Senate.

The entire immigration bill is a farce... your action only confirms this really isn't about America ; it's about self-serving politics... despicable at best.

If I open a question and it's just Liberals Suck! No, Neocons Suck! I just close it and skip it 90% of the time, regardless of if I have anything pertinent to say. Does anyone else do this? Is anyone else just as turned off by both party extremes reading this? I think I'd rather go over to the Men's Health board and ensure 13 year old boys that they have plenty of time to either reach their full heights or reach their adult penis sizes. Seems a little more productive.

Who is it helping, to turn against your fellow countrymen? Is it easier to hate people who don't agree with you than it is to actually address the issues you don't agree on?

I'm a liberal. I don't hate conservatives. My best friend is a Republican in the Air Force for goodness sakes! And, he'll agree with me that the anger people feel towards their own countrymen for their opinions is doing nothing but causing unnecessary strife.

Why do it?

I do. It is the tree hugging, liberal environmentalists that ban farmers and other homeowners performing controlled burns to get rid of excess brush. Look at what happens when they liberals say, "you can't burn that, it's a part of nature". This all was caused by environmentalists.

Bush or the Republican congress from 2000 to to 2006?

The president as the leader of the executive branch comes up with the budget request but it is congress who passes the actual budget (with input from the executive branch).

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

According to a Congressional Research Service study, the number of earmarks in spending, or appropriations, bills went from 4,126 in 1994 to 15,877 in 2005. The value of those earmarks doubled to $47.4 billion in the same period. Earmarked projects often include roads, bridges and economic development efforts.

Did the government do it - did they plan and execute the death of 3,000 people that day in order to further their own political agenda ?

Did it happen exactly as the government said it did - 19 men took over a plane and crashed it into a building because Osama Bin Laden told them to ?


Was it pure incompetance on the part of the government that allowed an attack to happen and if there is any cover up it is the government trying not to look like they should have know better ?


Somthing else completely (what ) ?

Somewhere in between those choices (which ones and how far this way or that way)?

Considering our predisposition toward war, what aspects of God do we glorify by killing?

Also, what in America is worth killing over?

Also, how are we assuring, aside from through warfare, that these aspects or concepts stay preserved and protected?
