I'd quit.

The whole point Im getting at is they wont fight for Mexico, they wont
fight for us, and people want to integrate them into our culture by the
millions. I dont think that is so a good thing..
Right now, If an illegal person in this country will go in the armed
forces, (more than likely going to war) after 4 yrs, not only them, but
their family will receive instant citizenship. YAY, They deserve it,no
doubt. I think this is a very good deal,,and some people do take
advantage of it, and serve proud knowing that they will become an
American, and their children, (even if hes killed) will have an
opportunity at a better life. These men are American, spirit and soul,
deserving just as many rights as me. At Ft. Benning, I would see signs
all over the place, "An Ounce of Sweat will save a gallon of blood"(
Geo. S. Patton). A mans sweat for my country no matter what race, is as
American as Paul Refeere and the minutemen in Concorde.

The military should be over run with applicants. Last I heard, they were
having a hard time filling their quotas.

Never heard of that offer, before. And if I haven't heard it, it's
pretty much for certain that immigrants who don't have the advantage of
my native status and liberal education wouldn't have.


You run that offer over the spanish-speaking radio and TV stations, and
I'm willing to bet the recruitment rates will go up considerably.

They know man, I dont know why you dont, but they know.
Everyone I know knows it. it was on the 6 o"clock News...

Got a very nice group of mexicans living in the neighborhood. Polite,
friendly, hard working, even if only like three of them can speak
english. I'm absolutely certain *some* are illegal, at the very least.
We yap about the immigration politics all the time- they never mentioned
anything about this sorta thing. I'll have to remember to bring it up to
them, next I see.

Give the job to someone who knows what they are doing. That would be
someyhing new

Poet that has been around for a long time.

People from all over the world have taken advantage of it for years.

They know.

and Fanta fighting for this country does not make a person a good
citizen. What makes a person a good citizen is how they do in our
comunities, how they uphold our laws, how well they work beside me and I
have met many so called 'illegals' that are in the words of my grandpa
'the salt of the earth'. The dream may no longer be real to you but to
peoples from all parts of this earth it is still bright and shiny.

If I was president...I'd use my powers to find a woman ^.^ Oh and world
peace and all that ^.^

damnitscloudy I don't think you'll find a woman on the politic threads
here... religion and politics are bad topics for dates.... unless of
course she agrees with your political view.

Maybe...but if I'm president I can take over the world and get a harem
going ^.^

Sounds like a waste of time. Why not just become rich and move to south
america or something? You have to be rich to be president, anyways,
these days. If you have the money, stop messing with the campaign stuff
and stock a mansion with third-world hotties.

Lock up all the crackheads and legalize pot!

NUKE THE RAG HEADS AND KICK ALL THE ILEGAL YAHOO'S OUT OF THE COUNTRY!

Legalize weed, exile George W. to Iraq, and make sure every store
nation-wide carried alcohol and fire-arms.

Some of you realize that what you have said you would do would lead to a
quick empeachment.

Not because your wrong.

But because you would run afoul of the publicly moral, cash providing
true power base that controls our politics.

And your ideas would cut right into their profits hard.

AB, I didnt say good citizen, I think I said, "make them American and
deserving of the same rights as me."
What they do with it then is up to them. Where did you get good
citizen?, and where do you get that I dont believe in the American Dream
( I guess thats what you meant)?
I am about as American as ( the word implies) there exists. My family
has been involved in one of this countries wars since Europeans first
arrived here. generation after generation, including the Independence of
the United States, and the Independence of Texas. I believe in the
Dream, and I do my best to protect it, at home and overseas. It was
formed by sweat and blood, and it deserves to be defended with sweat AND
Blood.

Send Mr. Bush to jail

If you believe in the american dream why are you so willing to deny it
to others.

Those that come illegaly may have had no other way to follow that dream.
In some countries it is very expensive and extremely hard to get through
the red tape that surrounds migrating the legal way.

However they may have just as much to offer this county as did your
family when they got here.

My family came here 'illegally' by the laws in effect at the time and
one step ahead of a british death warrant.

What year, and why did the British want them? Those are two important
questions in my mind considering that the US and Britain are such close
allies. Without knowing all the facts I couldnt and wouldnt say anything
about it. My family was Welsh and came here in a colonization capacity,
to settle the new world for the British, Things have changed, the
population is exploding, and I am effected by the problem of illegal
immigration everyday. I still seek a better life, but due to the cheap
wages the immigrants work for my standard of living is going down. My
ancestors came here to improve their lives and to give me a chance to
improve mine, and Ill be damned if Im going to roll over and let a bunch
of illegal immigrants destroy that. Let them improve their own country,
or come here legally. The legal immigration in the US is at an all time
high, and I didnt take them to raise. My family came here and built this
country from wilderness sure we kicked some Indians ass to do it, but
they also suffered in sweat and blood, cold and hunger to make this
country what it is now. Not hardly the same as the illegal
immigrants,who come here and take advantage of what we have already. My
family didnt sneak in to take advantage of what the American Indian had
built, we carved it from a wilderness, and the Indians should have
fought back sooner. I wont make the mistake of waiting till its to late
like the American Indian, Ill fight to keep my opportunities intact,
NOW!
Have you ever worked with the Illegals? I have and they dont work that
hard. With 20 people at half the wages they do what 4 Americans do, and
they dont do Quality work. They ignore codes and professional techniques
developed as trade standards in this country. I am a qualified Lead
Carpenter, and while the Company replaced my 6 man (American) crew with
15 Illegal immigrants they may have saved money, but the work is shoddy
and it is still not done any faster. They still had to hire a real
carpenter to come in and fix the mistakes, I reported to them. All the
company was concerned with was cheap labor. They did not even care about
the men's families that they laid off. (Americans) So excuse me if I
speak with my mind instead of feeling sorry for the illegal immigrants.
Pity is OK but it dont pay the rent, or put food on the table....

if i was president

i would work on term limits fro congress after all they put them on me

i would work on cutting the retirement plan for govt. personel
and put them in the social security program (i bet it would stay
solvant then)

i would cut all forien ad by at least half and use that money
to fund medical plan for the working poor

work on legalising coke and pot regulate and tax it
us the money saved in the judical systom to keep the real
criminals in jail especially those tha use a weapon to commit a crime
auto matic 5 years for blade automatic 10 years for gun
automatic 15 if using a bomb (or saying you have them)

use the money raised from the taxes to expand the atf to cover the
enforcement of the regulations (like with tobacco and alcohol)

also use the taxes raised to help fund the medical care for the working
poor to includ a program for those that can not handle the freedom of
being able to have the drugs available (kinda like the alcohics)

i would work on the rejection of the patriot act

and i would be assasinated
