Cowgirl has given you the facts, backed up with links, over and over...yet, here you are again.
Others should be warned that you are pro amnesty!
Hope you had a nice Thnaksgiving :)
Isn’t it interesting some folks have no knowledge about our legal system.
They are rooted in:
the Napoleonic Code - de facto presumption of guilt
Actually, the thread you are joining is not about opinion. It’s about whether the illegal was injured seriously enough to require medical treatment. That’s a simple fact, backed by the court testimony of the doctors that treated him.
As to the specific post you are replying to, it also was not an opinion, but a simple correction of a mistaken response which mis-stated my comment. My comment was accurate, and the person re-worded my response in order to complain that their re-wording was misleading, which it was both because it was wrong, and because it wasn’t what I said.
So in this instance, your statement about “misguided opinion” is an irrelevant opinion unrelated to the discussion.
At least you were smart enough to ping someone who actually knows the facts. I’m certain if I’ve made any minor error she will be happy to correct it, and I will be glad to be held to a standard that nobody on the C/R side could hope to meet.
Others should be warned that some people take complex subjects and reduce them to soundbites. For the purpose of this discussion, my opinion regarding amnesty is irrelevant, as I do not support amnesty for drug smugglers or people who sneak over the border and are caught.
My opinion is much closer to Fred Thompson’s position than what people would typically think of as pro-amnesty. But I’ve always said that if people want to put labels on a subject rather than discuss it, go right ahead, it contributes nothing but some people don’t really want to contribute.
After reading the thread, I have concluded your description is too kind (IMO).
