That's the meat I was looking for. But the caveat -OR. C'mon the total value of beat up Chevys compared to healthcare costs!?!
Re: Illegal Alien serious due process
“Go Directly Back To Home Country; Do Not Pass Go; Do Not Collect US Welfare!”
Hey, it’s a start. Get the scrap metal off the road. I guess they will need to walk home then.
It’s LOOONNNGG past time our alleged officials began ENFORCING EXISTING IMMIGRATION LAW.
If — and it’s a HUGE “IF” — the feds are so serious about terrorism that TSA morons are patting down grandmothers and flight crews at airports, why in hell have they turned a blind eye to 20 million illegals?
That, by the way, was a rhetorical question as most of us already know the answer.
Max,
Glad your daughter and her baby escaped unharmed.
My wife and I recently watched Waitress, a clever and sweet little film written and directed by Adrienne Shelly. Shelly was A VERY talented lady who also played a supporting role.
She was senselessly MURDERED in her NY apartment on November 1, 2006. Her body was found hanging by a sheet from a shower rod by her husband. She was 40 and left behind a 3 year-old daughter who will never know her real mother.
A 19 YEAR OLD ECUADORIAN AN ILLEGAL WHO SHOULD NEVER HAVE EVEN BEEN IN THE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE (THANK YOU CLINTON AND BUSH) CONFESSED TO HER MURDER.
IT WILL STOP WHEN THE MORONS IN WASHINGTON GET AS SERIOUS ABOUT THE ILLEGAL INVASION AS THEY ARE ABOUT HARASSING NATIVE BORN CITIZENS AT THE AIRPORTS.
(AND, YES, I INTENDED TO SHOUT BECAUSE IM MAD AS HELL AND NOT GONNA TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS CRAP!)
Ive been a regular at local congressional town hall meetings for a few dozen years and noted that starting around 10 years ago, the majority of those there were angry that nothing was being done about the illegal invasion.
Excellent film. Excellent message as well. Stereotypes are challenged often revealing they are not whom society depicts them to be.
THANK YOU CLINTON AND BUSH
Whence it really all began, our doors opened and immigrating families became solidly entrenched:
Immigration and Nationality Act amendments of 1965 (Hart-Celler Act, INS Act of 1965, Pub.L. 89-236) abolished the national-origin quotas that had been in place in the United States since the Immigration Act of 1924. It was proposed by Emanuel Celler and heavily supported by Senator Ted Kennedy.(Kennedy was upset with Senator Clinton, recently; when she praised Johnson for his immigration policy. Angered by the Kennedy family's dismissed role, he immediately endorsed Obama and other Kennedys followed:
During debate on the Senate floor, Senator Kennedy, speaking of the effects of the act, said, "...our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually.... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset...." |
The act's supporters not only claimed the law would not change America's ethnic makeup, but that such a change was not desirable. However, in the end, this act dramatically changed the face of American society by making it a multicultural, multiethnic nation. Prior to the act, the United States was overwhelmingly composed of whites of European descent (89% in 1965), with the only minority group of significant size being blacks (10%). Kennedy's soothing prediction turned out to be more correct if the "not"s were removed. Since the implementation of the law, the relative proportion of the white population has been in steady decline, with European-Americans of non-Hispanic descent projected to lose their majority status during the 21st century. Hispanics, a group composed of Spanish-speaking whites, blacks, indigenous tribes, and those of mixed ancestry have replaced English-speaking African Americans as the largest minority in the U.S. There has also been enormous growth of immigration from non-European nations since the implementation of the law, especially Asian countries.
Johnson Snip -- Remarks at the Signing of the Immigration Bill, Liberty Island, New York October 3, 1965 :
We are indebted, too, to the vision of the late beloved President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, and to the support given to this measure by the then Attorney General and now Senator, Robert F. Kennedy. In the final days of consideration, this bill had no more able champion than the present Attorney General, Nicholas Katzenbach, who, with New York's own "Manny" Celler, and Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts, and Congressman Feighan of Ohio, and Senator Mansfield and Senator Dirksen constituting the leadership of the Senate, and Senator Javits, helped to guide this bill to passage, along with the help of the Members sitting in front of me today.
SNIP
On February 15, 1966, the White House made public a report to the President from Attorney General Katzenbach which stated in part, "Although the Act has been in effect only two months, it has already reunited hundreds of families through its preferential admissions policy for aliens with close relatives in the United States .... Another 9,268 refugees from Cuba arrived in the United States during 1965. Of these, 3,349 came in December via the airlift arranged by the United States and the Cuban governments. Some 104,430 resident aliens were naturalized as American citizens during the year." The text of the report is printed in the Weekly Compilation of Presidential Documents (vol. 2, p. 220).
