Oh sure- a taskforce is the answer to give a voice to those that haven't been "heard?" How ridiculous a "solution" that is; the politial leaders simply haven't listened to the American people and this is another way to delay/ blow off taking any real action on the illegal immigration situation. I was going to agree with what one of the responders said about both parties catering to illegals because they see it critical to gain favor with Latinos, who are supposed to make up the largest "race" and voting bloc in the US soon; I have been preaching this theory myself for some time. Lately, however, an other, more plausible, explanation has come to light for me. The simple truth is that our government is controlled by, and has always been controlled by, the most politically and economically powerful. Take the last Presidential election as an example. Which multi-millionaire/billionaire canadidate did you support- the extremely wealthy Republican with a fortune from oil or the extremely wealthy Democrat that married into a fortune? Heck, even our Founding Fathers all basically came from the wealthiest and most politically powerful families in the American colonies and the rights and liberties granted in the Constitution were mostly for their benefit; just look how the early restrictions on who was even allowed to vote in our "democracy" and there countless other examples. Regardless of which party they "represent," our political leaders come from only wealthy backgrounds- who else has the ability to not work for years so they can campaign or has the millions of dollars of personal money needed to dedicate for the campaign? Does it surprise any of us then, that, despite the fact that the majority of Americans from both parties seem to be united on their stance against illegal immigration, officials from both parties have done nothing- short of this wonderful taskforce- to address this issue? The reality is that, coming from wealthy elite backgrounds, our political leaders benefit greatly from illegal immigrants as a source of cheap, tax-free labor that can be exploited for more profit at the expense of the average American citizen they claim to "represent."

See in case you will discover somebody to help sparkling the residing house or help watch/play with the little ones while you sparkling the residing house for a pair funds. do not stress-assume issues to not be suitable or as much as usual. as a replace, appreciate the time you have w/ your little ones. each and every thing will fall into place over the years. possibly see in the experience that your husband has paternity go away. some companies grant it to new fathers. and of direction, the obtrusive...do what you may desire to do whilst your little ones are sound asleep. you like sleep, too, yet attempt to get prepared w/ a schedule to the place you're sound asleep particularly some the time (specifically at night) and chores, and so on interior the day. good luck!

Yes they are blowing smoke up our butts. Republicans and Democrats both want the votes. Chicken George probably has illegals working on his Crawford ranch.

More meetings, more bullshit, I'm tired of illegal immigrants, but even more tired of ineffectual and cowardly politicians ... what is there to discuss?? Are our elected representatives honor bound to uphold our laws? And if they are, why don't they do just that? What gives them the right to pick and choose what laws they want to uphold, and what laws big corporations don't like, and consequently want to disregard?? These people don't represent me or the majority of the American people ... so why do we continue paying them big salaries??

I saw the link earlier and AGAIN I have to say.

THATS what we at home call political BULLSHIT.

If we are going to get anything done, we are going to have to do it ourselves.

No, as long as you are willing to pay people to do nothing, the more nothing will get done.
