...after eight years, and only heads of households. And Chertoff stated that those who go through this process would not have to wait long to return.

We'll see when the language is finalized, and the bill gets massaged in both houses.

I've already contacted my congressmen who's reelection bids are not that far off.

If you told them that you thought deportation was the only solution, they'll just write you off as an extremist. It was stated very clearly today that 12 million people will not be deported.

Who's paying for the foster care? Do you really believe the spawn are better off in foster care than with their families? That's just crazy talk.

I don't think it's crazy. In many cases, kids living with foster families are better off than with their biological families, as evidenced by the foster care system in place for other 'citizens'.

No morphing required, in many of these cases. It's reality.

Are you telling me people that enter this country illegally are not criminals?
C'mon now, you know better than that.

criminal
• noun a person who has committed a crime.

Entering this country illegally is a crime.
Being in this country illegally is a crime.

Jaywalking is a crime, and so is coasting through a stop sign. I guess if you're going to be a hardass about it, people who do these things are "criminals."

Hiring illegals is a crime.
Hiding illegals is a crime.
Keep the ball rolling.

I got a ticket for jaywalking once. I did not complain.
It is a hazard.

Did they carry you back across to the side of the road you started on and make you walk back again?

Nope, just stopped me; ironically in the road, and wrote me the ticket. Bike cop.

I got booked for speeding a couple of months ago and haven't paid the fine yet. That means they'll be issuing a warrant sometime soon. I guess that makes me a criminal too?
