  6. why not just round up all the folks that complained about the rigs being too close to shore, said don't burn the oil on top of the water and don't issue a temporary permit for berms to catch the oil without an Envir Impact Statement, and take their crying towels that should be enough to collect their share of the oil leak Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  11. that is the challenge, making sure that optimism does not overcome lack of experience there is a world of difference between: well I think we can do it, and no problem, we have the experience, we have special gear, we've handled this before, let me show you how it will be done sometimes it is hard to say no even when no is the correct answer Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  12. Yes. It's in the US Constitution and unlike some other Amendments that can be parsed several ways, it's completely unambiguous. ALL persons born here are citizens. Lest anyone think the above paragraph is at odds with the US Constitution; the Constitution wins every time. Again, you might not like it, but there it is none the less. this is what is troubling, not sure that the child of an illegal meets the - subject to the jurisdiction - test, if the parents are illegal and from country X, then it would seem that the child falls under the jurisdiction of country X, if so they are not citizens of the US what I don't like is the current interpretation of the 14th, would like to see this tested legally in the proper forum Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  13. If that's a "fact" then you should easily be able to back that up with a link to it. Can you please show me that? I don't have the link but it came from a source that I've found reputable in the past. But agree, it still would be nice to have the actual link. Well then, I think you're going to have to start questioning the reputation of the source. In 2008, there were 147,684 births in Los Angeles. Of those, 92,643 where to hispanics. That's 62.73%. Now, unless you assume every single one of those was to an illegal immigrant mother, the number you've provided isn't even close. Source: http://www.applications.dhs.ca.gov/vsq/screen_Race_birtha.asp?cnty_cd=19&YEAR_DATA=2008&Criteria=&Res_occ=Residence&Birth_Death=Birth&Stats=2 Andy & Quade - I was aware of the old snopes info but was told the data was current, but not being able to verify it the factoid was deleted. So on to the primary issue. Should the child of an an illegal immigrant be granted citizenship? Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  15. The 14th Amendment addresses the issue of citizenship of people born in the US. It was ratified in 1868 when the US did not limit immigration and, thus, there was no such thing as an illegal immigrant. It says in part, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside." The original intent was to prevent State governments from denying citizenship to blacks born in the US. These were typically freed slaves. In 1868 the US had no immigration policy so there was no need to specifically address immigration. A review of historic documents shows that the intent was to exclude certain persons, "...every person born within the limits of the US...this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors...", and, "A foreigner in the United States has a right to the protection of the laws; but he is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word..." The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying US law and obtaining citizenship for their offspring, nor obtaining benefits at taxpayer expense. The correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby. Having said that, what now?

  16. and the driver and passengers should counter sue for emotional distress, stress, loss of wages, etc. - I just keep hearing that thump-thump noise, can't get it out of my head, I can't sleep!! I guess if the lady down the street knew that i've trapped 14 of her stray cats she would sue - all unregistered, out of her yard with no collars as required by law http://www.animallaw.info/articles/dduscats.htm#IIA the county has a leash law that applies to cats, and all animals must be registered, have a tag and rabies shot Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.

  22. the oil industry is on the cutting edge of exploring and technology, they had multiple levels of protection, apparently they cut some corners and will pay the price, they will learn from this and make changes didn't the gov't kill some folks when the space shuttle exploded, was that problem known or foreseeable? was it a calculated risk? were the folks involved in that disaster held responsible? I work with the feds every day and it is amazing that we even have an economy with the way they operate, I could tell dozens of stories of wasted spending, inaction, bad decisions, absolute incompetence, etc., they just don't care because it is not their money and they don't have to answer to anyone, and they all got raises the past 2 years yes, there are good federal employees, and yes there are bad corporations, if I had to pick one over the other - private enterprise would easily win Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together.
