No, all they'd do is take more of our rights and privacy away.
Here in maryland, they govenment is using taxpayers money to build a 'day laborer' center, where Illegals can gather, so that people who want to hire them (construction mostly) can know where to go and find a bunch.
Yes... I said Government, tax dollars, and illegals.
Their reasoning... currently they gather on street corners and 7-11s and they'd rather they have a 'proper' place for them to gather, instead of in public.
I wonder what would happen if I call in a 'tip' every day, and reported the place.
Maybe...
The "Pick-up Truck Populists" are great for a few laughs, aren't they?
No way, Jose. If the feds are going to fart around and harass Wal-Mart because they hired contractors that in turn hired illegals – or Tyson, who essentially did the same thing – then they don’t need to go after C Construction Co – they need to go after whoever hired them.
The “president of the company” should certainly be arrested and imprisoned, but in this case the “company” is the federal gov’t and its president is GWB - whose JOB it is to keep them out anyway.
Ah, interesting, thanks for the link. I don't understand why regulating vitamins was in there, why the "trade agreement" had to be hundreds of pages long, why the House stayed open late in violation of their rules, why Jim Kolbe threatened to twist Repub arms until enough people passed it, or why others had to be bribed with pork barrel projects, if this is such a good thing for the peasants, but hey, that's just me.
At any rate, that's all in the past and nothing we can do about it - my point on this thread was that if border security were that important to the pols, they could stay and work a couple hours longer, maybe even "twist some arms."
I have no idea who or what you are talking about, but you sure sound like a liberal with your name-calling.
I was referring to the anti-CAFTA crowd. I do support cracking down on illegals. I was making fun of the drug store populists, not folks (such as myself) who find the situation on our borders sickening.
Only if you mean an 18th Century Liberal, like the founding fathers.
It's definitely a failure somewhere. I didn't think it was possible to get onto a military base since shortly after 9/11 without showing some sort of ID.
OK, thanks for the explanation.
For a minute there I got all excited! LOL.
"As a legal aide in the Reagan administration in 1983, Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. declared that he would support creating a national identification card in order to combat 'the real threat to our social fabric posed by uncontrolled immigration,'
Thanks. I'm going to save that for later reading.

If the gubmint was serious about illegals/terrorists, you'd think they'd at least start with making sure our military bases were secure.
Oh, I forgot, they're not serious.
