Mexico gets 25 percent of its national budget resources from capital sent out of the US by Mexicans working in America - capital which should stay here to fund American enterprises. One-quarter of Ecuador's population is in the US. Within one six-month period, they sent home 2 billion dollars in America capital. No wonder these countries want their problem population (for the most part, illiterate in their own language, unskilled, the bottom rung on the societal ladder) to be America's problem and not theirs, while at the same time, garnering all those Yankee dollars. For the first time in our history, we have a president who sides with foreign powers against his own government. (I won't say against his own country, because that is...

Why do we need "reform" ? I want someone - anyone - to tell me what's wrong with the laws already on the books and why our immigration problems wouldn't be solved if these laws were emforced. I'd be willing to bet that if the candidates were asked that question, they couldn't answer it because chances are THEY HAVEN"T READ THE IIMIGRATION LAWS ON THE BOOKS!

I wonder what quality of health care they got in Mexico or wherever they came from ? "If I were President" : I'd declare all convicted felons outlaws. We all know what that means...

which crimes to deport them for ? What abouat the crime of entering this country ILLEGALLY ? Tha't s sufficient for me.

A large part of the problem is that California has such strict, prohibitive gun laws. Knowing that all these "uglies" are going to be turned loose on the population, smart people would go out and buy a shotgun, at least, and some ammo, and take a gun course or two. But since California has a large number of crazy people outside institutions, about the only thing thinking citizens can do is to remove to another state...if they can sell their house and find a job. More thanks to Obama. I still think outfitting them with parachutes, loading them up on C-130s, and dropping them off over Mexico City (if they can see for the smog) would be a quick, easy, cheap solution.

Native Americans were made citizens in 1924 - long after blacks, but they are citizens.

American natives on reservations get free education, medical, and a numer of other benefits from the fed. govt. No one forces any NA to remain on the reservation, become an alcoholic, and live in poverty. The tribe's elected council bears responsibility for how their gambling income is spent. On the Cherokee reservation, each member of the tribe receives 6,000/yr. just for breathing (and possibly some not breathing). LIke AfrAms, they can remain "victims" or they can join the rest of the country and possibly have a better life; that is, before Obama was put into office and allowed to destroy the economy, the Constitution, and any number of other American "traditions". As a separate nation within a nation (I've never been able to figure...

Bank of America is always in some kind of legal or almost-legal trouble. One of my transactions resulted in 500 dollars being wired via Western Union to Russia. It was only because WU had recently started notifying the "sender" that the transactions had been completed. I notified BoA; wasn't their fault . (They have an entire dept. dedicated to dealings with Russia. Couldn't have been one of their personnel, oh no - impossible. I had read a few months earlier about an AfrAm woman in SC who had been screwed by BoA; she sued and won an award over 300,000 dollars. I wrote to the CEO of BoA, reminded him of this lawsuit, told him that if my acct. were not reimbursed SOON, I, too, would file a lawsuit. A couple of days later, I heard from...

My property represents the portion of my life I spent in time and effort and giving up that percentage of my life that I expended in acquiring it. Some of my property cannot be replaced. So, stealing my property is stealing a part of my life. (If A=B and B=C, then A=C.) The case cannot be made that stealing my property means nothing and that I do not have the right to protect and keep it.

Just for the record: I have no guilt, nor could I manage to manufacture any, if someone invades my castle, uninvited, with the assumed intention of harming me. (Kill my dogs and you're less than an even trade). Let's be biblical, if that bothers you. "Remove this evil from among you." When one of our local gun shop owners, a fish-displaying Christian, was criticized for owning a gun shop, he posted a couple of screens giving biblical justification for arming and defending yourself. The Jews haven't survived for 4,000 yrs. by lying down and being slaughtered, with the exception of Nazi Germany and the pogroms of Eastern Europe countries where they were a minority. It's really difficult to practice Christianity if you're stone cold dead,...
