DUDE all that bodybuilding stuff must do some kind of wierd shit to thought processes... Why have just one when I can get to sample so many and use them as I see fit....if its too small throw that one back in the pool of wannabe studs and find a bigger one... with a man attached to it that knows what he is doing with it. But having your GF show up... that was priceless. Oh and on the big diesel truck thing.. I have mine to go hunting and haul the trailer... I have mine to take my 25' boat out to the coast to go fishintg.... I have mine to haul firewood and building supplies...I certainly dont give it a thought about how it relates to small penis size. _______________________________________ I think in this case, it's 'truck envy'!

Sounds like a great idea... anything has to be better than the current system... trying to get a US work visa for seasonal non-professional job is such a long slow process that by the time you get anywhere the season has finished anyway For example... DZ doesn't know how many of it's non-local regulars are coming back for the summer until just before the start of the season, they advertise the unfilled positions, theres little response from US workers - those that live close enough are already working there, not many people in other parts of the US want to move for a (relatively) low paid seasonal job when they could get the same work locally. There are overseas workers who could fill the positions and would be happy to relocate for a temporary seasonal job and don't plan on staying permanently... but if it takes 4 months+ and 100's of $ so do it legally it's pointless even trying. There is a limited number of seasonal work visas available, they start issuing them in November and usually the quota has been reached by the spring. Illegal workers can't pay taxes without it raising the fact that they are working illegally and getting themselves and their employers into shit. It's no wonder so many people resort to illegal working / illegal employment when the government makes it so damn hard to do it by the book! [/rant]

I have enough trouble with the words we already have, let alone invent a new word or verb. One of my favorites and I can't recall who said it but, anyhow... here 'tis! Squacho: That little button on the top of a baseball cap. Chuck

Ok, I believe you. Its not a crime. Going to an event you don't have a ticket for seems like a good analogy to me. You get turned away. I guess my point is this: there is an illegal immigration problem in the US. The manifestations of this problem cover a wide range from national security to socio-economic. I think national security should have a priority over the other areas. Yes, undocumented workers are a very cheap source of labor. IMO, cheap labor should not trump national security. The president is supporting an amnesty program that I believe will not only help our current problems, but make them worse. Regardless of what he choses to call the program, it is amnesty. __________________________________________ A lot of folks don't seem to understand the 'non-crime' aspect. ...and I whole-heartedly agree with you on every point. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Mexico, needs to 'fix' their country. It is not up to us. That's what Mexico thinks we should do, though. So far, it's working for them! We are going to pay the price, in the long run. With over 12-million illegals in this country... that's a problem. Chuck

____________________________________ Illegally entering the U.S. for the purpose of living and/or working here is not a felony or a mis-demeanor. It is a violation of the Immigration and Nationality laws of this country. There is no jail or prison sentence involved. Illegals are 'detained' until transportation returns them to their native country. After 3-apprehensions, deportation procedings are started. They are not arrested, they are 'apprehended'. The job of the Border Patrol is to 'stop' them from going any further. In essence, they really have not comitted a 'crime'. Chuck I believe it is a crime, punishable by removal from the country. I'll agree that it is not part of our penal code, but it is part of our legal structure and breaking laws involve consequences (or should). Not enforcing the consequences will not ensure that the law will not be broken. In fact, I believe it invites the law to be broken. __________________________________ Check the Immigration & Nationality laws. It is not a crime. It's like going to an event without a ticket. You get turned-away. You can't get in, without a ticket. In this case, they don't have a Passport or Non-immigrant visa so, they are turned away. It is not a jail or prison offense. If, that illegal is in possesion of illegal drugs, guns or the like. Then, a crime has been comitted. One reason I know this is, the rancher I work for, is a retired U.S. Border Patrol: Senior Patrol Agent. One of my customers is an 'active' Border Patrol agent. I don't know how else i can convince you. Check what i've said out. Chuck

Interesting point. Maybe one of the shysters will have some knowledge of this, but it begs the question: If your citizenship was resultant of the comission of a crime, is the citizenship valid? I assume there is already a legal precedent to answer the question. Anyone? ____________________________________ Illegally entering the U.S. for the purpose of living and/or working here is not a felony or a mis-demeanor.

A lot of illegals cross the border several times a year to go home to their families. Guest worker programs would make that legal for them to do, provide us with labor that we need, and make sure that these guys are paying taxes for the services they get while here. If employers were punished for hiring illegally, a guest worker program could prevent people from being hired once their work visa is expired. They'd have to go home to renew. It could work. _____________________________________ With false documentation, they can easily get a passport to go from Detroit, Milwaukee, Chicago, Atlanta, wherever and freely visit Old Mexico as they please. They know, once they make it to this side, they're 'home free'. They know, they can get good jobs in the factories, assembly lines, construction and etc. because, they already have a cousin or uncle working in those places. This bull-shit about them just coming over to take the jobs that U.S. citizens won't take is a crock of crap. Sure, they'll start in the fields and pick strawberries but, they want the good paying jobs too. There's an illegal and his family who live across the street, is a mechanic at the local Chevy dealer. The family that lived in that house before them, was also illegal. They moved to Missouri to get construction jobs. how do I know this" I talked with them. Chuck

Looking at the price of any fuel, makes me sad. Chuck

And when there is a complete industry furnishing them with nearly flawless documentation how do you propose to do that. The far right is already afraid of the whole 666 thing tattoed on the forhead ...( think national ID card and figerprints for identification or implanted chips, etc) but unless you can tell what the real documents are from the fakes... that would be a huge drain on the courts and force a lot of businesses that are trying to do the right thing into going out of business. Mmmm popcorn I will just sit back and watch the show _____________________________________ Saw a news story yesterday in regard to what you mentioned. There's a little 2-1/2 yr. old girl in Utah, who has amassed a huge debt because some illegal alien has the same social security number as the little girl's!!! In L.A. alone, there are print-shops spitting-out 'documentation for illegals for $2,000.00 - $2,500.00. They even have 'sales people' to go out on the streets peddling 'papers'! In the news story, they dressed one of their journalists to look 'wet'. He was confronted by several paper sellers in about a 10-block radius of a near-by park. We've definately, got a problem. I say, let the Border Patrol do their job and quit listening to the 'bleedin' hearts'! I've got more pop-corn! Chuck

__________________________________________ Oh, good grief! Billvon! We finally got the rancher's (who I work for) airplane and didn't see hide nor hair of those pigs the next day.

Chuck

Thank you, for that. That took you some time and effort. I saw on the History channel where, Hitler was 'hooked' on amphetimines. Any you slice it, the guy was a whacko! Thank you again. Chuck
