This is what happens when you try to appease Republicans
Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama will deploy up to 1,200 more National Guard troops to the U.S. border with Mexico, an administration official told CNN on Tuesday...

=

"It's simply not enough," McCain said Tuesday on the Senate floor. He called for 3,000 more National Guard troops just for the Arizona-Mexico border.

:rofl:

That is very funny, did you notice that Criton in the earlier post of the Farscape episode said 300 and 44.

I found your post funny, but not sure of the context, and actually disagree with many concepts of Spartans.

But do find it really funny,

Great post.

Although I respect some of their concepts, their is a tendency to translate it to regional thought not conceptual thought.


On the immigration topic, I do believe in borders so that their are boundaries for representative rule, but the issue of years of second class citizens wanted by many buisness is a different issue.

13. what difference does it makes?
People don't care to know the facts about undocumented people and try to tell them they ignore it and just stay in whatever camp they want. The fact most don't know the story very well doesn't seem to bother many but they certainly know how to solve the problem. I don't see the problems being resolved because of lack of wanting to be educated on the facts. If you doubt me then just check out some of the threads I have started about it and how few bother to view, or comment, but post of some tragic event resulting because of this madness and it will get thousands of views and a good number of comments. That alone tells me we are decades away from ever having a serious effort to resolve the problems and just more of the you are a racist and you just want to have it where anyone can enter and commit terrorism approaches. I fear the only thing that is going to get people to work to learn the real problems and educate themselves is when enough murders and a high profile enough person is murdered.

I have talked to many undocumented people and people who simply couldn't get their citizenship or renewal of their visa in time, that I think using them being here illegally is a poor excuse. So many try to do it right but get bogged down in the system or can't afford the expenses even getting a visa renewed. Oh wait, I forgot, I am getting to detailed for too many, sorry just ignore me and carry on.
