reflection to discussion

         This class discussion was one of the most frustrating since the start of the semester. I felt like everybody was being so opinionated that they weren't paying attention to the facts of the matter. The point that I was trying to make more than any other Why are people expecting illegal immigrants to be granted the same privileges and rights as American citizens? THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS, THEREFORE THEY DO NOT DESERVE THE SAME PRIVILEGES.
          Another thing that urked me about the discussion was how people were talking about sending illegal immigrants into the military. That is absurd. Why would you want people that are not legal to serve? We would wind up paying more for them to have a healthy pay check each week, and paying them TAX FREE when and if they deploy. They don't even pay taxes now, and they still recieve benefits of being a citizen.
          There is no question that there needs to be a quicker right to citizenship. We need immigration reform. But we also need immigration INFORM. Get informed people!

Do they really believe soldiers kill for sport?

Five soldiers were charged with killing Afghan civilians for fun were released from Army custody on Friday and placed on electronic monitoring while he waits for his court date.
The army Spc.will be assigned to a different unit at Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, but it is unclear what his duties will be.
He has been in custody for about 11 months, after investigators said that he had joined the others in conspiring to kill three Afghan civilians in Kandahar province last year.

Do you think our taxes are fair?

For all the complaining this time of year, most Americans actually think the taxes they pay are fair. Fewer people expect refunds this year than in previous years. But as Monday's filing deadline approaches, the poll shows that 54 percent believe their tax bills are either somewhat fair or very fair, compared with 46 percent who say they are unfair.

I think this is a load of crap. What ever happened to everyman for himself? We need to cut the wasteful costs that our government spends eachday, and stop taxing more and more each year.

So, we aren't the only ones with boarder issues...

Thai and Cambodian troops fought Saturday on their disputed border, a day after four Thai and three Cambodian soldiers were killed in the worst bloodshed since the United Nations called for a ceasefire in February.Thousands of villagers have been evacuated from the jungle around the Ta Moan and Ta Krabei temples, about one hundred miles west of the 900-year-old temple, which saw violent fights in February, due to boarder contorversy. Here they use guns, and weapons, and place their military on the lines of their nation. What are we doing? We put up a fence and said "I dare you to try, you make it, you win".

Alaskan Cop- AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT!!!

So here's a question for you, America. If I was illegal where would I hide?
Oh, I know! In a black and blue uniform, and maybe I could even get to drive a car with sirens, too!
An Anchorage police officer accused of being an illegal immigrant using a fake identity has been arrested and charged with passport fraud, federal prosecutors said on Friday. The Anchorage Police Department patrolman known as Rafael Espinoza is in truth a Mexican citizen named Rafael Mora-Lopez, said Karen Loeffler, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Alaska.


Mosque in Michigan?

A pastor was barred for protesting outside the largest mosque in the United States on Friday after a Michigan jury found his appearance was likely to provoke violence.
Terry Jones, was briefly jailed after refusing to pay a $1 bond as ordered by the Judge, who also barred him from visiting the mosque for three years.
I think it's kind of crazy how they punished Terry Jones. Not visiting the mosque? Obviously he didn't care about it in the first place!

Members of Al Qaeda Kill Italian

Hamas found the body on Friday of a pro-Palestinian Italian activist who was killed by al Qaeda in the Gaza Strip, raising questions about the Islamist group's control over the cult.Two men were arrested and others were being sought for the abduction and killing of Vittorio Arrigoni, 36, who was found strangled in an abandoned house on Friday, Hamas officials said.A Jihadist Salafi group in Gaza aligned with al Qaeda had threatened on Thursday to execute Arrigoni unless their leader, detained by Hamas last month, was freed.

This is the kind of "situation" American Itallians should focus their attention on. How are immigrants of other countries being treated? This especially goes to show how immigration is a towering issue in other countires as well as our homeland.
