DON'T BLAME THE UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS...they didn't write the rulebook

Gun pointed @'m with one eye closed

Yes Terry because murder is so gosh darn funny.

Our founding fathers designed a brilliant form of government.  Do you really think you know better?

We have a say, we elect the representatives.  If they don't represent us, we need to vote someone else in.  That's how it works.

The idea that we would put legislation to a vote of the public for a majority rules is ludicrous.

If being right means I am full of whatever that picture is, then yes, I am.

[Terry]

AdaLeft, OK! enough, "U" win!

[Terry]

whatever that picture is
City boy!  ::D:

[AdaLeft]

It's not a contest Terry, I don't win, I'm just right.

[Terry]

That is definitely a matter of opinion, & mine differs --- can "WE" just agree to disagree? & let it GO @ that?

 Missouri has NO illegal Aliens.


AMERICA... LISTEN UP & TAKE HEED!

  Missouri has NO illegal Aliens.... Missouri 's approach to the problem of illegal immigration appears to be more advanced,
sophisticated, strict and effective than anything to date in   Arizona .

Do the loonies in San Francisco , or the White House, appreciate what  Missouri has done?
When are our fearless President and his dynamic Attorney General going to take action to
require   Missouri start accepting illegal immigrants once again?

So, why doesn't   Missouri receive attention?

Answer: There are no Mexican illegals in  Missouri to demonstrate.

The "Show Me" state has once again shown us how it should be done.

There needs to be more publicity and exposure regarding what   Missouri
has done.

Let's pass it around.

    In 2007,   Missouri placed on the ballot a proposed constitutional amendment designating English as the official language of Missouri .
    In November, 2008, nearly 90% voting in favor! Thus English became the official language for ALL governmental activity in  Missouri .
    No individual has the right to demand government services in a language
OTHER than English.

    In 2008 a measure was passed that required the Missouri Highway Patrol and other law enforcement officials to verify the immigration status of any person arrested, and inform federal authorities if the person is found to be in Missouri illegally.  Missouri law enforcement offices receive specific training with respect to enforcement of federal immigration laws.

    In  Missouri , illegal immigrants do NOT have access to taxpayers benefits such as food stamps and health care through Missouri HealthNET.
    In 2009 a measure was passed that ensures   Missouri 's public institutions of higher education do NOT award financial aid to individuals who are illegally in the  United States .
    In   Missouri all post-secondary institutions of higher education to annually certify to the Missouri Dept. of Higher Education that they have NOT knowingly awarded financial aid to students who are unlawfully present in the United States .


   So while   Arizona has made national news for its new law, it is important to remember,  Missouri has been far more proactive in addressing this horrific problem.

     Missouri has made it clear that illegal immigrants are NOT welcome in the state and they will certainly NOT receive public benefits at the expense of   Missouri taxpayers.

Apparently, Terry's worries over illegal immigrants are more rooted in racism than anything else.

...cannot disprove of  the facts that has been posted and no you will never exhaust me because YOU have no ability or rationally or facts to prove your issue on the illegal immigrates...

Going from that quote, how in the world can someone like Willy, who apparently can't put together sentence structure, grammar, spelling, or logic, expect anyone to take his thoughts on anything seriously?

So jlmer what extremes would you go to to make money to feed your family?  Would you skirt immigration law if someone was willing to pay you hundreds of times more than you could make at home?  Is it about disrespecting law or about providing for your family?

Ada, while your points about American companies hiring cheap labor and illegal immigrants wanting a better life and to provide for their families are well taken, they overlook some things.

It's difficult to have a country if said country cannot secure its borders.  We don't yet live in a world where countries and borders don't matter and aren't important.

It may be that America's immigration policies and border security with Mexico, or shall we say what appears to most people to be a lack thereof, have been based on keeping a somewhat stable country on our southern border.  I would propose that had America prevented the influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico or the influx of American dollars into Mexico from those illegal immigrants, Mexico would have long ago devolved into revolution and chaos...

...and we all should know that America has a long standing policy against popular revolutions.  They're communist, ya' know.  ; )
