		<description><![CDATA[Dan… well said.  

It’s amazing there are those who want to blame people (in their pursuit of freedom) for our problems instead of blaming our current system of government.  

Here’s an example of our current immigration laws in action.

Fifteen years ago, a young girl leaves her village in Mexico, comes to America, educates herself, finds employment, and along the way falls in love with an American citizen and has two children.

In 2010, she is told (because she came here illegally) she would have to be deported and reapply to enter the U.S. - a process that could take up to two years (of course, she could be denied).  At the time, she held out hope that the Obama administration might change some of these rules.

I never saw her again after our discussion…but I felt great anger and contempt towards my country. All I could think was how this young girl wanted something more in life, took great risk, and achieved what so many desire to have…family, security, and opportunity.  

Only to have it all taken away by government decree.  

Note:
I fail to see how one can be a libertarian, aspire for freedom, and yet deny that same freedom to others. It’s not only a contradiction but a form of hypocrisy.]]></description>

How can someone who works so hard in exchange for so little be a drain on the state?  That makes no economic sense.  The problem is to many entitlement programs, not hard working people.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[WHERE IS STATE SOVEREIGNTY GOING UNDER THE OBAMA IMPERIAL COURT?



The Democrats have to rely on those extra voters in 2012, whether they are legal or illegal. THIS IS A TRUE FACT THAT CAN BE AUTHENTICATED. The Republican hardliners are already hoping to derail Rep. Lamar Smiths Mandatory E-Verify, so their special interest lobbyists can still get their fair share of cheap labor. These people are coming here and not just through our shared border with Mexico, but by international flights from across the world. Both political parties have their own agendas, with the Liberal Extremists pushing the Department of In-Justice, trying to block the current Alabama immigration policing laws. More state will follow Arizona, Alabama, Georgia and others, but will be enveloped in lies from the other side and the goal of the Obama leadership in crushing any chance of a states sovereignty being upheld. Americans can aid themselves and the millions of their fellow population, by insuring the passage of the mandatory Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885) in the coming Congressional sessions. This will help to combat the millions of foreign workers now illegally co-existing in the workplace and halting for good profit inspired employers from hiring them. 




E-Verify signifies a breakthrough in our immigration laws and the only avenue we have is our vote in pressuring Congress in passing H.R. 2885 Bill.  Until this happens, no state is safe for the unbound repetitious force of illegal migrants and immigrants straining America&#039;s welfare and public expenditure resources. By Looking towards California, a state of American success in just 10 years has fallen, moreover unfairly burdened with millions of illegal alien families.  They have bled the legal public treasury of billions of dollars in free services. The children of illegal alien parents and the unrelenting onslaught of sponsored--CHAIN MIGRATION has scored deep gashes in the California safety-net.  Welfare benefits for the children of illegal immigrants cost America&#039;s largest county in 2010 more than $600 million last year. It is officially claimed the &quot;total cost for illegal immigrants to the Pacific state taxpayers&quot; was more than $1.6 billion in 2010. 



Oh! With the Alabama law in full swing, where are the—ECONOMIC—illegal immigrants going? May be California, Nevada and any unrestrictive states, where illegal nationals can raid the welfare systems. 




New York is another State with relaxed immigration laws, so it’s no wonder there welfare entitlement commitment is zooming ever higher. Then again, Andrew Cuomo, collected the title of “Architect of Ruin” along with others as Rep. Barney Frank. On Coumo’s watch he pressured banks and financial houses to offer low income, specifically illegal alien’s mortgage loans—even though they didn’t have the means, to pay them back—even they couldn’t qualify with sufficient credit. All this issue was quietly snuggled away into dusty files somewhere, so the public remained in the dark. This had the cause of effect of the rest estate crash that took place in 2009. 




Be vigilant of those who confess to be in the true TEA PARTY leadership, as we have been conned before by both sides of the aisle. Making the wrong decision when we vote in 2012, could as well replace Obama with another far right Republican, who are favored by the open border delegations who pour money into their campaigns. We should be nervous of Perry, and the apportionment of money heading in his direction, as he will be capable of swamping the TV channels with unequaled rhetoric.  My limited funds will go towards Herman Cain, who is my contender in the race and has a strong plan for our country, including his ambitious D- in relating to his standing opinion, that no illegal alien should be offered amnesty. Romney, Bachmann have also are considered to have excellent records, to finally stop the devastating effect of people from foreign countries pouring into America. The rest of the candidates have poor to abysmal records, while they have been public servants of the people.  Much study of the illegal immigration occupation has been accomplished by NumbersUSA, where you can also observe for yourself the outcome. 




The Federation for American Immigration Reform has studied these kinds of expenditure nationwide to get an idea of the financial load to local governments, especially at a time when many are grappling with budget deficits. The FAIR organization reported that the cost of illegal immigration stands at about $113 billion a year. Nearly half of that total went toward education costs, according to the study. The outlay was naturally higher in states with large illegal immigrant populations -- in California; the total yearly expenditure was pegged at $21.8 billion. This is a repeat performance and is still spiraling upwards uncontrollably, more so since the Democratic State House and Senate have the overwhelming power in Sacramento. All these dollar figures are verifiable through the offices of Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael Antonovich.  Nevada has major illegal alien problems as well, so unless you live in a isolated bubble—your own state has been hit hard as well?





What we spend in court- enforced contributions from our payroll checks is a sad unresolved situation, where illegal immigration is concerned. Having to repeat the same tired mantra of how much is being extorted from all of us, tends to become exhausting; with no relief in sight. Perhaps by looking to leaders of the--ALL AMERICAN-TEA PARTY, of all legal persons, we can expect a different result and cure this phenomenon. That is scattering throughout the industrialized nations of the world. As a country, we must draw a line and say no more economic aliens, who are heavily attributing to the United States poverty. Our economic viability is fading away, so we should only accept winning immigrants of the highly skilled variety, not the poor that we must support with our dwindling dollars.




Don&#039;t expect your neighbor or a friend, to find a few minutes to call the political sock puppets in Washington, as you must contact them accomplished in this fiery issue, as the laws up to this point been ignored for twenty five years. President Obama for a time showed promise with a million or more deportations, but suddenly there was an ominous influence that changed his direction. Unfortunately, the law is not being followed and thousands who came here illegally, but do not carry any criminal blot on their background other than trespassing in our lands, are likely be released. Most countries, not even Mexico allow illegal entry into the country, without being tracked and perceptively be facing a felony wrap. There will be no light at the end of the tunnel, unless we make an effort to pitch the certainty of Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885). yourself. Unless we pull together--nothing will ever be 


There is an unsympathetic attack on E-Verify House bill, that must be overcome by insisting that the Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-OH); House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA); House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) ; House Chairman of Ways &amp; Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI);  &amp; Members of the Ways &amp; Means Committee. You can insist political action on your part, if you are frustrated with the indifference to the people. Call them today as this bill is ready for a reading and must not be tabled. The Washington switchboard at 202-224-3121, will transfer you to any of these lawmakers.

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#039;t speak for Mexico itself but all these wonderful news about increasing education, modern infrastructure, et cetera are true of Brazil too... and here it has all the markings of government-subsidized higher-ed and real-estate bubbles.

A crap load of people who can&#039;t even master algebra are getting degrees on the government&#039;s dime based on a sloppy implementation of an age-old (and unrealistic) notion amongst intellectuals that education is some kind of panacea.

Real estate is marketed as &quot;investment&quot; and ever more ambitious projects are brought forth in spite of a growing awareness that prices have entered high orbit.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t speak for Mexico itself but all these wonderful news about increasing education, modern infrastructure, et cetera are true of Brazil too&#8230; and here it has all the markings of government-subsidized higher-ed and real-estate bubbles.</p>
<p>A crap load of people who can&#8217;t even master algebra are getting degrees on the government&#8217;s dime based on a sloppy implementation of an age-old (and unrealistic) notion amongst intellectuals that education is some kind of panacea.</p>
<p>Real estate is marketed as &#8220;investment&#8221; and ever more ambitious projects are brought forth in spite of a growing awareness that prices have entered high orbit. Unemployment is historically, eerily low, suggesting it has nowhere to go but up. Most telling of all, the government is ignoring inflation and pushing down interest rates to try and contain the looming bust.</p>

We have our own house to clean, and a large proportion of the immigrants coming from Mexico are quite successful, not failures.  If they are taking jobs away from Americans, it is from Americans who did not do well in school or who can not compete with the newly arrived &quot;failures.&quot;]]></description>
