Who would have ever guessed that a voluntary program for illegal immigrants to turn in themselves would fail?
ICE Shocked-Shocked!: Voluntary Self-Deportation Program a Complete Failure, Dumped After 3 Weeks - - By Debbie Schlussel
The incompetents who head Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are shocked--shocked!--that only nine people out of about 500,000 illegal aliens with final deportation orders turned themselves in for a voluntary, self-deportation program."Operation Scheduled Departure" is now off the schedule and has ended after three weeks of complete failure.
"Quite frankly, I think this proves the only method that works is enforcement," Jim Hayes, acting director of ICE's detention and removal operations, told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Illegal Immigrants Respecting Our Laws
Out of the nine who volunteered to be deported, only one was a Mexican. For all I know, she was leaving anyway and wanted a free ride back home.
Next week, we can ask Russia to voluntarily and permanently leave Georgia, for Iran to voluntarily close its nuclear program, and for wanted criminals to turn themselves in.

They're basically the best real Short Wig for Round Faces that money can buy, the ones are selling all of them on the internet. Remy wigs derive their name from the Indian virgin Remy hair, and it has be a general term for these high quality wigs. Remy wig is really a expression used across the board of these wigs that keep your cuticles intact, and may be bought at any major wig store.

Here's what happens to some illegals crossing the U.S.-Mexican border with weapons.
A U.S. Army soldier is in custody in Juárez this evening after he was allegedly caught crossing the Mexican border with a firearm, military officials confirmed. Spc. Richard Raymond Medina apparently was on leave driving from Fort Hood to California before beginning a new Army assignment, said Fort Bliss spokeswoman Jean Offutt. Medina reportedly took the wrong lane and accidentally entered Mexico. As he tried to turn around, he was stopped by Mexican authorities, Offutt said. Television news reported that Medina had an AR-15 assault rifle and a handgun in his possession.

Sarah Palin has deliberately left the question as to whether or not she will run in 2012 open. For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides women’s chef coats some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona. A deal on a secluded, 8,000-square-foot home in far north Scottsdale was recently closed by Safari Investments LLC for $1.695 million cash. The terms of the deal hide chef coats the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment." According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering aprons headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign. A anonymous source from her camp also told Ben Smith at Politico that she would base a potential presidential campaign in Scottsdale, near where Bristol Palin recently bought fleece blankets a house in Maricopa. Palin has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Jon Kyl.

You should keep in mind that like any machinery you will find things to that you must adhere to take full advantage of the production ability. You will find three imperatives to successfully make the most of your Pellet Mill.
Moisture content of packing machine materials must be kept below 16%.
To produce a quality pellet, massive mechanical pressure is needed to create binding from the recycleables. An excessive amount of moisture produces steam that breaks in the wood pellet chipper.

One wonders what is being taught in schools these days. When I was a kid (yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it was thousands of years ago) we routinely said the Pledge of Allegiance, sang the National Anthem with our hands over our hearts, respected our teachers... well, all but our geometry teacher... took civics, history and geography with the idea to learn what this country was all about and the freedoms we all enjoyed (well, most of us did, and a hell of a lot of us tried to make sure every one had that same opportunity with vote registering, marching and other civic actions, and a bunch of us stood at the reflecting pool near the Lincoln Memorial to hear Dr. King speak).
Our class had families of lots of immigrants, we had families that were English, Greek, Spanish, Mexican, Italian, German, and plain ole mutts with more leaves on our family trees than Carter had liver pills.
And we were proud of our country, and many of us died to protect that freedom, just as today many more have died. We knew then that life in America wasn't perfect, and many wanted it to be; to be a place where no matter where you came from, or what your religion was or who your ancestors were or where they came from you would be indeed judged by the "content of your character."
Today, it seems, our school kids think nothing of playing a practical joke, of doing something that honestly turns my stomach. Not that they don't have the freedom to do that, too many soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines have died to make damn sure that freedom exists for everyone. What has you so pissed off Roper you may rightly ask.
Well, I'll tell you, and I'll even show you pictures so even the dimmest of you can understand, and damn few of my readers are dim (well, except for the liberals that is). I respect our flag, I respect the country though I wish it were better. I also respect those that would abuse our flag by burning it in stupid protest. What I don't respect, is those who abuse our flag in favor of a flag of a nation that has much more stringent immigration laws than we do. That treats their prisoners as guilty until proven innocent, that keeps their poor so poor that many would rather die in an effort to get somewhere better and that ... well, you get my drift. I also get pissed off when someone asks me for something that will benefit them for sure, but think they have to slap me in the face to get it. I'm talking about the students delinquents at Montebello High School in California (note: The students were NOT enrolled at Montebello, they were from a couple of other campuses) who pulled down the US Flag, put up a Mexican Flag and below it turned the US flag upside down. An upside down flag is sometimes (erroneously) accepted as a distress signal. Be that as it may, these yahoos (with no slight intended to the internet company of the same name) have pissed me off. Big time, and I seldom cuss. Here are some offending pictures (and yes, I know this happened in '06 but a dear friend sent me these and I got all ticked off again, at least ticked off enough to rant).


I hope you are pissed off too!

Sorry, GM, but thanks to our education system, the media and our political left, "picayunes" like patriotism, belief in G-d and factual history are deaders...
As I've said before, I'm glad I've already passed the 1/2 century mark...

Many of us have been writing about this several years, now . . . and what GM is describing is no more than the product of multiculturalism, which has supplanted American Civics and classic (western) literature. Teachers go through the motions of teaching Shakespeare, but the story is entirely lost on 9th graders who have been sexually active for the past three years. Plus (especially in Border States), students are bilingually illiterate, so reinforcing literature that produces good citizens no longer exists. We no longer have time to teach robust American history, emphasizing the good of our ancestors but we have plenty of time to expose youngsters to Maya Angelou — which liberal relativists assure us is as valid as Ivanhoe or Last of the Mohicans.
Multiculturalism is the bane of Americanism. It may be too late to reverse the wrong course our educational system has taken . . . so we should expect this kind of behavior to continue, or get worse. The reconquista movement is a source of pride among idiots these days. Where we are today is purely and simply depressing.

The U.S. is finally loosening the purse strings and building a border fence! But, don't get excited. It's not the one that Congress authorized last year.
Cairo, Egypt (AHN) - The United States has announced that it is planning to help Egypt build a border fence along the Gaza-Egypt border. Washington transferred $23 million worth of special aid.... The American Army Corps of Engineers plans to send teams to Egypt to help push forward the border fence plans.
There's no mention as to where our government learned anything about building a border fence, as they haven't had much practice between the U.S. and Mexico. Do you suppose that our politicians figure that it's okay to build a border fence and that it will work as long as the blocked illegal immigrants aren't potential voters?

The subhead is much improved from the Mark Steyn juvenality! Land of the free and home of the brave indeed! That's something liberals and conservatives can agree on for sure.
As for fence building, you may want to consult news coverage of Iraq--even though we know the preznit doesnt' have time for such matters.
Seems the U.S. has had to build fences between ethnically cleansed neighborhoods in Baghdad to make sure they stay "clean."
Isn't it just so wonderful that we delivered the Iraqi people from their travails?

I'm a free-market capitalist, so I don't think the government should be in the business of telling businesses whom to hire based on nationality or other factors not related to performance.
Of course we need border security to keep out criminals and terrorists. Making it simple and legal to immigrate for economic reasons would make it much easier to effectively police the border against people trying to sneak in sans paperwork for reasons other than working for a living.
Anyone who understands how markets work will know that the real source of the problem is the unrealistic wage differentials between Mexico and the U.S. As long as this exists, there will be an illegal immigration problem. A simple, market-based solution is to more strictly enforce penalties on companies that refuse to pay market-based wages and, instead, employ illegals to avoid taxes and market-level wages.
Illegal immigration would stop tomorrow if businesses stopped hiring people at below-market wages to widen their own profit. Workers who come here illegally are simply trying to feed themselves and their families. It's morally wrong to target them as if they were the primary perpetrators of the problem.
It's also a fantastically stupid tactic. Long, repeated experience has proven beyond doubt that targetting workers is expensive, inefficient and ineffective. Deported workers quickly return and most are not caught in the first place as they find it easy to work illegally and to remain in hiding for very long periods.
Start deporting business owners who knowingly hire illegals tomorrow and illegal immigration will grind to a halt by this fall.
Anyone with at least two brain cells can figure our that the logical target of immigration law enforcement should be businesses, not workers. Cops target drug dealers, not users, for the same reason.
Which brings us to the question of why so many wingnuts refuse to take on the issue of illegal employers, preferring instead to focus on workers and building walls. What is their motive?
Posted by: McLovin at Tuesday, March 25 2008 10:46 PM (UvT8A)
Mc: "the real source of the problem is the unrealistic wage differentials between Mexico and the U.S."
The real source of the problem is corruption in Mexican government and lack of motivation by the U.S. government to keep out illegals--who, as the the definition implies, are criminals...regardless of need or intent.
I've always been for penalizing businesses for hiring illegals, and there is a law to do that but hasn't been enforced by either Democrats or Republicans.

Would your “church,” if you fellowship with one, put on it’s bulletin board hateful articles from the anti-semitic, terrorist group Hamas? Barack Obama’s CURRENT church, Trinity United Church of Christ, did just that.
We just found out in the last 48 hours that Wright, while giving a eulogy in 2007, said that “(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him… The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.”
Now comes a report by NBC News that while Wright was in charge at Obama’s CURRENT church, reprinted anti-Israel writings, including one column by none other than Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, appeared on the bulletin board there.
The column by the Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, asked: “Why should any Palestinian recognise the monstrous crimes carried out by Israel’s founders and continued by its deformed modern apartheid state?”
The question becomes one of judgment, character, integrity, honesty and intelligence.
If I were to believe Obama’s defense that he didn’t, and still doesn’t, know what was, and still is, going on at his church for 20 years, then, in my opinion, he must not be very observant nor intelligent, and does not possess sensible judgement. Therefore he cannot be qualified to be the POTUS, in my opinion. If I do NOT believe Obama, then his integrity, character and honesty is woefully insufficient to be the POTUS, in my opinion.
Obama went to Harvard Law School (they don’t let just anybody in), where he became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. He graduated magna cum laude in 1991. Now do you think he is NOT aware of what his church and ex-pastor are all about? Be AFRAID! Be VERY AFRAID!
Barack Obama’s political FRAUD against the American People continues…

When you see the Dual Saw on television, it will look good and you can hear about the positive reviews from people who have used it. Compared with Dual Saw on TV, our cheap dual saw has received good reviews from users mainly for portable and safe with carry case, durable double blades with counter rotating technology and no need to change blades when used many times. There is no doubt that you make a good decision to choose this power tool.
We do not advertise our dual saw as seen on tv on the television. Our way of marketing is word of mouth. We do not believe in advertisements and don??¥t want to spend huge amounts of money on it. So, most of our customers are those who hear about the product from friends or relatives.

Such a sad story.... Guess which state is facing a problem because of illegal Mexicans.
"A delegation of nine state legislators from (State) (said a new law) will have a devastating effect on the...state. At a news conference, the legislators said (State), made up of mostly small towns - cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers...."
Sad, huh? Maybe we need to help more.

Q. When is a fence not a fence?
A. When it's for border security and Congress only pretends to build it.

Americans Deliver Message to Congress
Immigration: Congressional Democrats, and some Republicans, gut the Secure Fence Act in the omnibus spending bill against the wishes of the American people. ...The Secure Fence Act of 2006 required the construction of 700 miles of border fence....So the next time you hear candidates for any office say they support border security, give them a post-hole digger and point them toward Mexico.
What's it going to take? People standing in the galleries of Congress holding up De-Fence signs? If not, maybe terrorists crossing our borders and bombing us?

Woody,
Right on the money. For all those opposed to "the fence", my question: Are you in favor of illegal immigration? If yes, please explain.
Oh, (some may be saying) this guy's anti-hispanic. Nope. Served with very many hispanics in my long military service. In the main, they were nearly always the best. American citizens of hispanic, or any other ethnicity that are Americans, law-abiding, attempting to make our country (and themselves) better vice worse, will always have my support. It is the Amercian Way. We are all immigrants.
************
Here's the deal. We've too many people pouring into our country. We cannot solve the problems as fast as they are building.
How 'bout this for a question to ask: Why exactly do so many people of Mexico want to leave? I mean - really, really get to that question. Then ask: what should the government of Mexico be doing about that? Further, in what ways could the people of the U.S. actually help Mexico? One very simple way is to have a very secure border. This would force Mexico to deal with its own problems. The people of Mexico would finally get fed up and demand more of their own government.

I would have handled the situation differently than the person who stood up for our flag in the story, but his message was well intended and made clear. Now, this leaves the ACLU, which would consider flying these flags illegally as they were or any descreation of the U.S. flag as protected freedom of speech and even admirable.
I suggest to Mexican immigrants, especially those here illegally, that they join us like past immigrants rather than form a parallel society with a primary allegiance to their country of origin--the one which forced them to here for a better life.

MEXICO CITY — President Felipe Calderon blasted U.S. immigration policies on Sunday and promised to fight harder to protect the rights of Mexicans in the U.S., saying "Mexico does not end at its borders." ...He also reached out to the millions of Mexicans living in the United States, many illegally, saying: "Where there is a Mexican, there is Mexico." ...He said Sunday that Mexico has created 618,000 new jobs since January....
Nice speech for the masses, but the U.S. has something to say about this, and we get the last and only word.
Here's my five-point response.
Point one - The U.S., not Mexico, dictates immigration laws into our country--or, so I've been told. I'm just waiting to see our federal government actually enforce those laws.
Point two - The number one right of illegal Mexicans in our country is the right to go back home. Use it.
Point three - You don't get to count 618,000 new Mexican jobs unless they are in your own country.
Point four - Why don't you end Mexican government corruption and get your economy and unemployment in line rather than use us as your safety valve?
Point five - Mexico ends at our border. If you think not, come over here and try collecting taxes from Texans. You think that Santa Anna had it bad at the battle of San Jacinto.
Have a happy Labor Day to those whose jobs weren't taken by illegal Mexicans or whose wages weren't depressed by their flooding the labor market. On second thought, those who have been affected should be honored and have an especially happy Labor Day, since it might be one of the few times of the year that they can have some fun.

Atlanta (AP) - A high school student returning home from a European soccer trip got a different welcome than he expected: He was jailed for eight hours over a ticket he had already paid.Customs officials at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport checked Stephen Kelsey's passport Monday and found an arrest warrant for failure to appear in court on a ticket given for rolling through a stop sign.
Even though he had already paid the $175 fine, the 17-year-old was taken to the Fulton County jail.
"Somebody made a mistake, and here I am having to be handcuffed in front of my coaches, my mom, my brother and my teammates," Kelsey said.
Nice. A seventeen year old kid gets treated worse than an illegal adult. Where are our politicians and their compassion on this? Oh wait, the kid might take a job from a Mexican.

Er... I hate that the kid got arrested due to a bookkeeping error but, uhm, what could this possibly have to do with illegal aliens?

The connection is my uncanny ability to find anything wrong and connect it with Democrats and anything that they support.
In this case, we have controls to supposedly determine if our citizens re-entering this country have an arrest warrant, and then we detain them if they do. However, illegal aliens can keep getting arrested over and over with nothing that local law enforcement can do about it. It seems that customs has more ways to catch legals than illegals.
Posted by: Woody at Friday, August 03 2007 10:11 AM (Eb/8J)
I get moose's point that the two can be considered separately. But in the larger scheme of things, it is more than ironic where that agency puts its resources.

The issue was the fallen bridge in Minnesota.
Bridges just sitting there do not make for "hard hitting" tv news. Further, they don't do much in written media either.
Most Americans, it would appear, want to be entertained with the news, not necessarily informed about serious issues. Many serious issues are not "sexy" and all that interesting. What we want, and get, are fast-paced action pieces.
So, it would appear the days of real investigative journalism has given way to mostly "show me something: burning/crashed/exploded/kidnapped/etc."
I don't wish to minimize those items, but when we do not go after the really big stuff....in the proactive mode, vice the reactive, we get what we get.
Same deal with border security. We are not really, really serious about it. We kinda/sorta say we are and dicker with semi-solutions meant not to offend anyone. That, of course, is silly. You cannot apply controls to anything without making someone unhappy.
We need to do some more growing up and be more interesting in doing the right thing vice what is popular.
Or, so I think.

Sarah Palin has deliberately left the question as to whether or not she will run in 2012 open. For those who believe a bid for the GOP nomination is still a possibility for her, The Arizona Republic provides women’s chef coats some further evidence: after months of rumors, Palin may have purchased a house in Scotsdale, Arizona. A deal on a secluded, 8,000-square-foot home in far north Scottsdale was recently closed by Safari Investments LLC for $1.695 million cash. The terms of the deal hide chef coats the identity of the owner, and when the attorney listed on the property records, Alan Kierman, was asked if Palin was the buyer, his response was an intriguing "no comment." According to the Republic, Palin has been rumored to be considering aprons headquartering her 2012 White House campaign in Scottsdale, if there is a campaign. A anonymous source from her camp also told Ben Smith at Politico that she would base a potential presidential campaign in Scottsdale, near where Bristol Palin recently bought fleece blankets a house in Maricopa. Palin has also been mentioned as a possible candidate for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Jon Kyl.

July 16, 2007
Having lived most of my life somewhere along the Rio Grande, the Latin culture runs deep in my blood, at least as deep as it can for a male gringo. But there are some realities we need to be honest about. We have winked and nodded for 50 years as undocumented immigrants have crossed our southernmost border and worked in our fields, food processing plants, textile mills, and other sweatshops. Some employers have treated them well, but most have not had to. Why? The reasons are numerous: there are some jobs we don’t want to do; we limit the work we allow our own children to do; we are materialistic, greedy, and sometimes perhaps lazy etc.
There are people that came here just to have a child so that child could have the privilege of citizenship. Families are a mix of immigration status. Some are allowed to stay on special visas that say they can live here with family but they are not allowed to work and earn money to help support and raise the children they have and or are having. Some of the families I have worked with even use citizenship as a way to enslave their own children. They will intentionally not file for citizenship or a social security number for a child born here or who immigrated here and had both older and younger siblings be aiding in gaining citizenship, but the “identified child” was never brought to meetings with authorities aiding the family. Why? Just like dysfunction within families of all citizens, a parent hates the child who looks like a lover who abandoned him/her or father who abused him/her.
Because we’ve poorly protected our boarders we have a 25-70 mile wide area along our border which seems it is a mix of U.S. and Mexico in its makeup, but it is nonetheless, U.S. and it is where the above occurs the most. It is where many of the underserved are mostly citizens of this country. This underserved area’s limited resources are drained by legal residents of both countries and by those of various immigration statuses in this “don’t ask don’t tell” zone.
At the same time there are now people trying to get in our borders who do not want to work hard but want to kill us, destroy our way of living (even the worthwhile part), and create as much mayhem as possible. Of course we have politicians of all stripes trying to do this as well. However, they have to be beaten down in civil ways. These others, properly known as terrorists, need to be kept out of this country.
While there are many complicated factors in all of this, I will not discuss them all, and I likely do not know or understand them all. Nonetheless, I see some realistic but difficult solutions, that can be done.
- Build walls, erect cameras, and encourage citizens to report and stop anyone crossing any of our borders illegally. We have a right to protect our boarders and control who gets in and out of this country.
- Line people up who are currently here illegally and give them 6 month visas. But keep track of their whereabouts particularly their exit. If they don’t make sure our authorities know they’ve left then they lose the right to return and if found here they are immediately deported, period.
- If someone has family here they do not want to be separated from whether here illegally or illegally, if they are not a violent person or security or health risk, then give them a permanent family visa, which means they can live and work here. However, they will never be allowed to become a citizen and they will never be able to vote above the city level. I believe they should have some input about those who govern their immediate surroundings, but no more.
- If someone wants to become a citizen they must leave the country and begin the process legally once their work visa is up.
- We need to make our citizenship and visa processes more efficient for those playing by the rules and who have any skills we chose we want to utilize to be matched by those who want to come in legally.
- A child who can prove they grew up here because of their parent’s choice or some other person who brought them here and has no knowledge of how to live in another country or culture should be given legal residence immediately and possibly citizenship immediately or an opportunity to become a citizen within 10 years if they remain a resident who does not commit a violent crime.
- Businesses should be fined $25,000.00 per undocumented worker found at their business during the first offense. For the second offense, a fine of $50,000.00 per undocumented worker. The third offense leads to your company being taken over by the government/state for 5 years with a CEO and board appointed by them and/or it is sold or closed immediately. We need to highly discourage hiring illegal immigrants, without jobs, the flow will slow to a trickle.
- We need to accept that this may cause us to turn towards unpalatable solutions such allowing our children to work in the fields up to two hours a day. Require our teens to work a job at least 5 hour a weekend. Nothing builds character and encourages children to earn good grades as picking cotton, chili, or cleaning toilets. If first period class at the local elementary school involved walking out to farmer brown’s filed to pick cotton or do something of limited danger then farmer brown could pay the school the money he’d normally pay the illegal immigrants. It might also help us with our obesity problem with school aged children.
- If you’re born in this country of a mother who is not a refuge or of legal entry then you are not granted citizenship, and you and that mother should be returned to your country of origin soon as possible so you can grow up and learn the skills needed to live in the country that is your legal nation.
- Once these rules have been in place for 6 months people will know that if they are found in this country without documentation showing that they are here legally then they will be deported swiftly (another problem that needs to be corrected—we have to be willing to put tax money into manning the implementation of such a program). This doesn’t mean if you’re not found before this that action will not be taken but we will not enforce everything fully and aggressively until after that specific date by which everyone will have had the knowledge and opportunity to leave or get identified as someone who wants to be processed properly under one of the above rules or legal processes already in place for those here illegally or who have overstayed a shorter visa.
- If someone were abused by an employer or human trafficker they could also apply for asylum, but not necessarily citizenship.
- Citizenship and the right to vote should be reserved for those who entered legally or who appealed to this nation for help and we chose to provide it.
Porous boundaries make for unhealthy dynamics in individual relationships, families, and nations.
Joe Harvey (that’s certainly not the rest of the story, but that’s how it could go if we were serious.)

2. Do you plan on busing teenagers from the cities to rural America for this farm work? If we get rid of all of the illegals, there will be some communities without enough local labor to get the job done.
3. Kids born in this country to illegals -- when you deport the parents, what happens to the kids if they have been granted citizenship? Do they stay or go?
There are some good ideas here but just like the Illegal Immigrant Reform that recently failed in Congress, it needs some refinement.
Posted by: Panhandle Poet at Monday, July 16 2007 10:11 AM (GUSd2)
The 14th Amendment never intended for those born here to be citizens unless they were subject to our nation (emancipated slave or citizen). It has been bastardized to mean anyone born here. We need to fix this.
We can get workers but we should go get them not allow them to sneak in. Farmers can contract with Mexican companies for labor and get the proper documentation. Those people can go back home when their jobs are done or during th off season. They do not do jobs Americans will not do, they do jobs we will not do for those wages. We have millions of people on welfare and unemployment who could benefit from a job.
Use the labor in prisons. It would do them good to pick fruit and vegetables under the watchful eyes of the armed guards.
No person who is not a citizen should be allowed to vote in ANY election. If they want choice in how they are governed they can become citizens or go home.
We alo need to force assimilation and stop these groups of people who have a country within a country. We had quotas for years and we forced people to learn our language and follow our customs. Our country, our rules. A populace that does not assimilate will tear down a country from within.

When I was 14, I applied to the state of Iowa for a permit to work. Once granted, I applied for and received a SSN.
Back then they had Y.E.S. programs.(Youth Employment Service) When school was out for the summer, we got jobs through Y.E.S. that consisted of road crews whacking weeds and mowing along roads and highways and corn-detasseling crews.
I worked de-tasseling for several summers. Buses picked us up and took us to various farms where we worked 8 hrs at $1.15 ph IIRC. This worked for decades.
Of course, we didn't have 500 TV channels, internet and video games then either.

For a few months after September 11, 2001 - I thought maybe GWB would be a similar leader - "W" has tripped over the MSM PC carpet - a carpet of his own weaving and personal beliefs {very strong Mexico connect} - No longer his goals being the goals of our country as a whole.
Some where in time - strong words, beliefs and patriotism have reverted to embarrassment, appeasement and bending in order to "fit" - look cool, be like everyone, be artificially kind and avoid PC ridicule or the "hard work" required as always has been required - throughout the existence of our nation - as citizens of a strong country - The United States.
We have been programmed to be embarrassed or even ashamed of our patriotism - brain beaten by MSM programming and liberal feeds from our campuses and other forms of media.
Hopefully - this change, addition and more inclusive media will finally correct itself through the internet, talk radio and newer means of interactive information that are growing stronger than the socialist, liberal MSM. AND Hopefully - this interactive information and freedom will not be to late to save The United States as we know it and so many people have given so much of themselves through-out the years for us all to be able to enjoy - through faith in God, freedom from fear, freedom to share our patriotism as we create and follow our laws, and the desire to contribute to the common good before we ask others to carry our load!

Basically these kinds of wigs are top quality hairpieces that can mimic hair growing from a scalp, which makes for any very real and natural looking style. They're produced by utilizing a thin lace because the base where individual hairs is going to be attached. Lace is left out in the leading and around the perimeter. This is to be taped or glued towards the forehead and perimeter which gives the appearance that the locks are growing out of your scalp, providing for a very natural look. There are also "lace frontal pieces" and "lace closures" that are partial lace pieces that can be used along with other extension methods for example weaving, bonding,glue, or fusion.

An Irresistible Impulse, one that far to many senators succumbed to in authoring and/or supporting a bad bill. Last week, America watched enthralled as the United States Senate debated, and ultimately killed the latest iteration of immigration reform. Earlier "comprehensive" reforms occurred in 1952 and again another in 1986. In the 1986 signing, President Ronald Reagan noted:
Distance has not discouraged illegal immigration to the United States from all around the globe. The problem of illegal immigration should not, therefore, be seen as a problem between the United States and its neighbors. Our objective is only to establish a reasonable, fair, orderly, and secure system of immigration into this country and not to discriminate in any way against particular nations or people.""Regain control of our borders." Well, that didn't happen as any one with a lick of sense could have told you (and many of us did.)"The act I am signing today is the product of one of the longest and most difficult legislative undertakings of recent memory. It has truly been a bipartisan effort, with this administration and the allies of immigration reform in the Congress, of both parties, working together to accomplish these critically important reforms. Future generations of Americans will be thankful for our efforts to humanely regain control of our borders and thereby preserve the value of one of the most sacred possessions of our people: American citizenship." [emphasis added]
The fact of the matter was that when you handed out citizenship to earlier illegal immigrants, you did exactly what Pavlov proved would happen. Reward a behavior and you will get more of the same, in this case somewhere in the neighborhood of 12 to 20 million additional illegal immigrants since 1986. That should be tattooed on the inside of the eyelids of every man and woman that wants to be a United States Senator, let alone on the inside of the eyelids of each and every current U.S. Senator.
The latest "comprehensive" immigration bill was fraught with difficulty, hence, the multiple votes on amendments to the bill. Each amendment as proposed was to "remove a significant fault" or to add a "significant enhancement" either to the bill, or conversely from the bill, and the American people were up in arms.
The media kept telling us that a "majority" of Americans wanted a comprehensive immigration bill, and that is probably true, but like always, the devil is in the details. Just prior to the final ignominious defeat of the bill, a Rasmussen poll showed some 70 + percent of those polled did not like this particular bill or its multitude of provisions for an alphabetized system of visas. Indeed, they were probably perplexed by the bill.
George W. Bush, Harry Reid, John McCain (who probably tossed his presidential candidacy into the toilet) and Ted Kennedy all fought for the bill and ultimately, the people said "no." And it is a good thing they did. As I commented on another site (see, I don't spend ALL of my time here):
I’m surprised (as perhaps were other) that Marc, who touts polls left and right doesn’t mention that the most recent Rasmussen Poll indicates that a majority of Americans (presumably legal ones) do not indeed support “the Bush backed plan to grant legal status” to the illegals rather, a whopping 74% oppose this bill, many on just those grounds (and this includes Democrats, Republicans, independents and not a few legal immigrants from Mexico and other Hispanic countries.).You read correctly, Harry Reid said, and I quote:You can call them undocumented workers, illegal aliens, illegal immigrants, or as the sublimely stupid Harry Reid said “undocumented Americans,” but the fact of the matter is that the majority of them are hear [sic] because of the last “flawed bill.” A flawed bill is not “better than nothing,” a flawed bill is bad law. [emphasis added, link to the exact quote added]
This week, we will vote on cloture and final passage of a comprehensive bill that will strengthen border security, bring the 12 million undocumented Americans out of the shadows, and keep our economy strong. [emphasis added]By the way, Dennis Miller did a wonderful take-down of "shallow Harry Reid" here (via Glenn Reynolds) but I digress. Those who were interested in establishing a "legacy" by passing this bill were shot down by the blogosphere (H/T to Danny Glover) both the left and the right calling it a bad bill, by individuals of the left, right, center and no stance at all wrote, telephoned, faxed, emailed and otherwise let their Senator know that this bill was no damn good, and 50 Senators responded. Now, despite what you have heard, the vote was NOT to defeat the bill, the bill was "defeated" because Harry Reid pulled the bill from further consideration (feeling, I guess, that discretion is the better part of valor here). The actual vote was merely to cease debate or not to cease debate. If the vote had been for cloture (that is ceasing debate) then the Senate could have voted in the affirmative (passed the bill - in which case it would go to conference committee to hammer out any differences between it and any bill passed by the house) or voted in the negative which would have effectively killed the current bill.
A vote to continue debate would have added amendments, removed amendments or otherwise bastardized an already bastardized bill. But the underlying principle of rewarding behavior remains unchanged. Once again, gentle reader, if you reward (visas, citizenship, voting rights, pathways, what ever you want to call amnesty without calling it amnesty) a behavior (illegal immigration), you get more of the same behavior. The are only a few real ways to stop the inflow of illegal immigrants (and don't call them undocumented Americans please).
Please understand, I am not advocating any of these positions, I'm merely saying that we will never gain control of illegal immigration unless we adopt some manner of gaining control of the borders and the American people understood that, even if 45 Senators did not. It seems as though, for once, 50 senators listened to either their conscience or their constituents. And I'd have to guess that in the outpouring of disdain to the U.S. Senate an awful lot of Americans succumbed to an "irresistible impulse."Adopt a draconian set of laws modeled almost exactly after Mexico's laws (and wouldn't that be a fine kettle of fish?) Fines and prison sentences for anyone caught crossing the border a second time after already being deported once for illegal crossing. Fines and prison sentences for those hiring more than a few illegal immigrants (big business has always supported illegal immigration, it allows them to pay substandard wages). Changing our constitution to eliminate the "anchor baby" phenomenon, thus, if you're illegal, any offspring born in the United States would not gain citizenship by dent of being born here.

The 14th Amendment was intended to only include children born to people who had an allegiance to the US as either a citizen or an emancipated slave. The authors of it made that clear and pointed out who would not be a citizen and that included children of LEGAL non citizens of our country and therefore, logic dictates that extends to ILLEGAL entrants.
Great piece GM. This bill is bad stuff.
Impeach Bush if he signs

Prior to 1986, an illegal could come to the US, work for a few months, picking peaches, apples etc. and them go home to his family. 1986, made the trip too dangerous, so the illegal stayed and took other types of jobs for year round support. Since he couldn't go home, with any certainty of being able to get back into the US, he merely brought his family to the US, because family is important to illegals.
The unintended part of the act of 1986 is that instead of having illegals (mainly working males) in this country for a few months each year, we have them plus their families forever. The Immigration laws have penned them into this country.
My thought (extreme liberal that I am) is to tell each family that will return to Mexico, or other Central/South American country, that one member of the family can have a work visa and can enter the country as a laborer.
Believe it or not, I think most of those illegals would prefer living in their country.
That's my thought.

an upset win on Tuesday in a special election to represent women’s chef coats conservative upstate New York congressional district. Hochul defeated Republican Jane Corwin in a three-way race that also included self-described Tea Party candidate Jack Davis. The outcome did not affect Republican control of the chef coats House of Representatives."Tonight the voters were willing to look beyond the political labels and vote for a
person, and vote for aprons message that they believe in," Hochul told cheering supporters minutes after taking a phone call from Corwin, a state assemblywoman."We can balance the budget the right way, and not on the
backs of our seniors," said Hochul, the Erie County clerk. "We had the issues on our side."Once expected to be a Republican landslide, the special fleece blankets congressional election tightened in the final days, with a
spotlight trained on the national debate over the budget deficit, spending and Medicare -- the government-run healthcare program for the elderly.

Except these kinds of positive aspects, there tend to be still various well-known features about cheap dual saw owns when most of us compare it with other saws.
There are generally counter facing teeth on each blade, therefore one aspect can certainly perform the actual cutting things while the other will be able to perform the smooth things, which our buyers can get the perfect finished cut and may not really result in any splinters or breakings.
