Here is an interesting talking point regarding the damage caused by illegal immigrants. Read this article as the gripe is more argued from a liberal point of view. For all Dems who supported Amnesty yet remain staunch conservatives of wildlife habitat, this will have you at a crossroad regarding your views. http://www.defenders.org/releases/pr2006/pr020106.html Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Hmmm. Good idea in theory. In practice illegals have become so integrated in the US economy that if they were all deported tomorrow we'd have a really serious bout of chaos on our hands. You give them too much credit! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

The law of unintended consequences says that such an approach stands a decent chance of leading to fewer new jobs, more outsourceing/offshoring, and more overtime for current employees. Make it harder for employers to hire someone, and they'll figure out ways not to hire someone. Wendy W. _______________________________________ That's a good point. I see, what you're saying. Chuck From a friend> "My e-mailbox is flooded with mail concerning gas prices and illegal immigrants. To boycott oil companies or not; to provide amnesty to illegal immigrants or not, etc. Since I have become jaded to the various solutions proposed by the Republicans, Democrats, Sierra Club, ACLU, etc., I have elected to solve the problems as they affect me. It solves both my gas and illegal immigrant problems. I have hired illegal immigrants to push my cars. They're plentiful and cheaper than buying gas. Now here's the smart part...I pay them in pesos so they have to go home to spend it. I love it when a plan comes together." LOL Kevin for President!

Chuck That's NOT a good point. Again, the approach of doing nothing at all or something pretty stupid. I'm picturing an ostrich burying it's head in the sand right about now.

nonoonono, you forget, .. they don't work, they just collect dissability ... but I agree 100%, we need to enforce the laws already in place, start going after employers. It takes more than going after employers. We need to give the National Gueard and Border Patrol the proper resources and AUTHORITY to protect our homeland.

Too true.. but the quickest way to find out is to make it impossible to get a job without VALID Identification.. Put the burden on the people handing out the jobs.. and if you get caught... make REAL penalties for hiring illegals... no documents.. no job.... and making the document VERY hard to forge is the first step in that process. And this crap if if you are born here it makes you a citizen.. that is just NUTZ I would prefer our citizenship to be earned... and that goes for ALL. Usually we disagree Amazon but I am with you 100% on this post of yours. Drop the hammer on the employers, DO NOT reward law breaking with citizenship, build a wall from california thru texas. If you want citizenship, then follow the proper channels and work hard to get it which includes, but not limited to LEARNING ENGLISH!

Good point of view. I am personally happy the bloody thing was defeated. It's almost like the Senate felt they had to either do nothing at all or something pretty stupid. Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Bullshit - that's like saying "I can't morally justify making someone pay for entrance to a concert in the city park, when I used to get in free before they started charging entrance". LOLOLOL Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

They don't write them. A few of them, or their aides, do. Erroneous Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

What was also brought to light in this debate is the fact that many of these Senators and Congressmen didn't even know what was in the damn bill. Stifles the imagination doesn't it...the law makers don't even know the composition of the laws they write? Pretty scary eh Max?!?!

How about the White House? (and where is this listing - I'd like to see how many of these people were AWOL from the Air National Guard) You and this Air National Guard. You're starting to sound like Ben Stein. Bueller, Bueller Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Actually a majority of them were drafted as enlisted with bachelor degrees due to the limited amount of initial officer positions. Further more, people were then advanced to were brass by "field commissioning". I will say that the degree carried weight when being considered for selection.

HOLD THE HELL ON!!! Porn films are punishable?? Yet Iran's compounds (just like Turkey and Jordon)are filled with wives, of men in debt, who are forced to fuck their husband's balance down to zero while the husbands sit in prison?!?!?! Get the hell outta here, that's crazy! I guess we can chalk that one on the board of "quran hypocrisy" just like fornication and drunkeness are sins on earth but your reward for dying a Martyr are rivers of wine and perpetual virgins. Get the hell outta here, that's crazy! Does anyone else find it funny that we made a SPORT out of an EMERGENCY PROCEDURE?!?!

Here is what I think we all have in common. We all love our country and our countrymen, however we must seriously put our heads together and get our government working efficiently. Our politics are what's most important, not the next American Idol. There are a lot of useful elements that both parties bring to the table, but we seriously need to do a spring cleaning on both sides. I agree with the professor that this was a proper decision by the courts. However, we might have possibly let a terrorist go free. If we did, then I blame Homeland Security on up for not having the evidence submitted. If not, then they are incompetent. Either way is inexcusable. However, it's time to move on to the next challenge such as solving the invasion of illegal immigrants who storm into our land. Social Security is still just a redistribution of wealth which simply robs Peter to pay Paul and then turns around to pay Peter again. Finally, how about the Fair Tax Plan? These are important issues that need to be addressed. That is why I feel it falls on our shoulders to find a candidate on both sides who is in it for the nation, not them selves.

It's admirable that you pointed out his ethnic minority to the sport, but people need to realize that blacks aren't minorities like they were in the past. I guess instead of Speed Racer, we can call him Afro Racer...... No?.... not funny? I'm going to take bullets for that one.
