I read the article, and to tell you the truth, I don't think we are any better when it comes to turning criminals loose on society. We may incarcerate more, but we turn em loose too. Funny how prisoners who found Jesus, were often the ones Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas set free. Guns: Could not sleep without one; life is just too perfidious here in the good ole USA.

After removing the minimum wage, the 11 million illegals go home. Right? There goes the easily manipulated voting bloc for the senate and the house. I guess they will have to go to work too. What do you mean by the poor pooling their financial resources for more purchasing power? I know some legal immigrants share housing until they get ahead. Is this what you have in mind?

Do you have any sources to back this up? Last I checked, we've been hearing the same thing since before the Irish showed up here in en masse in the early 1800s. Of course he doesn't, because the facts are demonstrably opposite. Take a look at this. This is not a border state where illegal immigrant free healthcare is epidemic.

The health care spending on illegal immigrants also extends to the private sector. A Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) representative said he estimates the hospital loses $3.8 million annually caring for illegal immigrants. U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Brentwood) appeared with U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Georgia) at the hearing to talk about illegal immigration and what the federal government has done to address it, and to hear from medical industry officials as to its effects. “The primary point of our investigation is simple – we have limited resources to support programs for those in this country legally,” Blackburn said. “And it is simply inappropriate that taxpayer dollars be used for those people who have broken our laws and are defrauding our system.” The state Democratic Party called the hearing a “sham” and “playing politics” while pointing out that Republicans have held the White House and both the U.S. House and Senate for years and haven’t addressed the issue. Also, Linda Rose, a managing partner with Rose Immigration Law Firm in Nashville, denied that illegal immigrants have a negative impact on health care and its cost. Rose argued that the field hearing overlooked the “billions” undocumented workers contribute toward the health care system from paying taxes through their employers as well as sales taxes. In testimony Thursday, however, Dr. Darin P. Gordon, the director of the Bureau of TennCare, gave estimates reporting that TennCare reimbursed medical facilities $1.7 million last month and averages $15 million in reimbursements per year to pay for illegal immigrants’ medical care. That $15 million is only a small portion, though, of TennCare’s $7 billion budget. “Except I consider $15 million a lot of money,” Gordon said in response to questioning by Blackburn. “Well, I do too,” Blackburn responded. “I consider it to be an incredibly large amount of money … every dollar a taxpayer spends is a lot of money.” Federal law requires TennCare, the state’s expanded Medicaid program, to pay for anyone’s emergency care – legal or illegal. Gordon said TennCare does not let illegal immigrants onto the permanent rolls, just long enough to care for the emergency service. The most prominent of emergency room cases are illegal immigrant women coming to give birth, Gordon said. When those children are born, they become legal U.S. citizens. That $15 million the state spends may pale in comparison, however, to spending by hospitals to provide emergency care for illegal immigrants. At Vanderbilt alone, VUMC estimated it lost $3.8 million to date this year caring for undocumented workers. Gary R. Perrizo, the director of patient accounting at VUMC, testified that the hospital admitted 174 undocumented patients between Jan. 1 and Aug. 6, 2006, which is a 17 percent increase versus the same period in 2005. In addition, Perrizo testified that between Jan. 1 and March 31, 2006, 504 possible illegal immigrants received emergency care but were not admitted to VUMC. Emergency room staff has “no way of knowing” whether a person is legally or illegally in the U.S., he said. “We are morally and legally obligated to provide care for anyone who is in urgent need,” Perrizo said. “But that moral commitment and legal requirement to care for those in need has come to carry a significant price tag for hospitals and doctors alike.” The recently passed federal Deficit Reduction Act requires TennCare to check certain documentation to verify whether an applicant is legally allowed to be within the U.S. http://www.nashvillecitypaper.com/index.cfm?section=9&screen=news&news_id=51493 This is just one aspect of ILLEGAL immigration.

There is no shortage of landfill space, rather there's an overabundance. He's right. There is no shortage of landfill space at all. "All of the garbage America produces in the next 1,000 years would fit in an area 44 miles on each side and about 120 feet deep. About 73 percent of all municipal solid waste in the United States ends up in landfills. And despite many potential landfill spaces, the number of landfills actually receiving trash is shrinking. Over the past 10 years, more than half of the 18,500 municipal solid waste landfills that existed in 1979 have closed. Further, once lined and covered, a landfill is not permanently unusable. Parks, golf courses and buildings cover the surface of some covered landfills. Properly sited and operated, landfills pose little threat either to human health or to the environment...A landfill containing the next 1,000 years' worth of U.S. garbage would occupy less than one-tenth of one percent of our land."

U.S. shuts consulate in chaotic Mexican border city Reuters ^ | 7-30-05 Posted on 07/30/2005 10:45:01 PM PDT by kingattax NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico (Reuters) - The United States is closing temporarily its consulate in this lawless Mexican border city after rival drug gangs clashed with bazookas, hand grenades and heavy machine-gun fire. "A violent battle involving unusually advanced weaponry took place between armed criminal factions last night in Nuevo Laredo," U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Tony Garza said on Friday. He said he was ordering the consulate in Nuevo Laredo closed for all of next week and would only reopen it if the security situation improved. Garza called on Mexico to swiftly bring the situation under control. Mexico reacted angrily to Garza's words, saying both countries shared a responsibility to fight drug crime. "Repeated public statements by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico about the border situation in no way help bilateral efforts to end border crime," the Mexican Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The latest battle erupted late on Thursday when about 30 masked gunmen opened fire on a suspected drug-cartel safe house in Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande from Laredo, Texas, blasting off its doors and strafing the facade with bullets. .............

Moving them from one place to another won't necessarily make them consume more or less fuel... or consume it more or less efficiently. It's not a question of growing them from scratch... Illegal immigrants take more than they give, and the taxpayers pay for this free ride. Wait for the economy to turn south. It gets worse. Immigrants are as clean as you and me.

It was Nitroglycerin. Where did you see that, Randy? Nitroglycerin is generally unsuitable as a practical explosive - too unpredictable and unstable. were these guys actually serious, or are they like the bunch of losers that was "plotting" to blow the Sears Tower? I heard nitroglycerin on the news also. I also heard each terrorist might have been carrying a different ingredient and they would be combined once airborne; like in the toilet. Would it be possile to carry separate ingredients to make nitroglycerin? Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

I am familiar with the book, although I have not read it. My father was of that generation. I will say you are right on about the lack of political cohesiveness in this country concerning this war. Our "brave leaders" who sent our children to this war began to rant and rave about pulling out the moment their combat boots hit the ground, and it looks like maybe there weren't enough troops from the beginning. I think we had a chance in the beginning with the right leadership. With a civil war now on the horizon, only a miracle will stop us from running home, and leaving nothing but more contempt for Americans behind. I fear for the lives and safety of our soldiers. I was once one of them in a similar situation, and I have a daughter at Fort Jackson, S.C. The only thing certain out of this is our soldiers have never lost the will to fight anywhere they were sent. Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.
