Life's Inanities and Ironies

While it might have been a lot of fun for you to sit smugly on the sidelines of the health care debate, and then voting NAY on everything that was being debated, it was unproductive. The bill that emerged was even worse than it had to be — because none of you tried to improve the bill. Here’s a news flash for you: You can always vote against the bill after you have made multiple improvements to it. That way, you can have a big win by defeating it, or a small victory by, at least knocking out the worst elements of the bill or even adding some good points. Here we are, once again. Americans are looking at the possibility of another very unpopular bill being rammed down our throats — AMNESTY. By engaging in the debate, instead of running away from it, you can add all kinds of amendments to it. For instance, a requirement that any applicant amnesty must be fluent in English within two years or he/she loses whatever status they have achieved. Or any person with a felony record is ineli...

So please explain to me how supporting Amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is going to help the millions of hard working Americans who have lost their jobs; lost their homes and even lost any hope of surviving this terrible recession we are in? You must know that the mere mention of the word “Amnesty” historically encourages millions and millions of additional illegal aliens to rush for the border. Do you really want 10,000 ille...

Don’t like ARIZONA’S new immigration law? Fine. We’ll adopt Mexico’s immigration policies instead, OK? Let’s take a look at Mexico’s immigration policy. For instance, did you know that: * Mexico deports more illegal aliens that the U.S. annually * Under Mexican law, it is a felony to be an illegal alien in Mexico Or that immigrants must – * Have the means to sustain themselves economically; * Not be burdens on society; * Be of economic and social benefit to society; * Be of good character and have no criminal records; and * Contribute to the general well being of the nation. Mexico’s immigration policies also ensure that – * Authorities have a record of each foreign visitor; * Foreign visitors do not violate their visa status; * Foreign visitors are banned from interfering in the country’s internal politics; * Foreign visitors who enter under false pretenses are imprisoned or deported; * Foreign visitors violating the terms of their e...
