Thomas commented on the article |D. Silva, "humane" is not a one-way street.
What about Mexico's lack of humane concern for one of it's own citizens? Did they (the Mexican Embassey) make any arrangements to get one of their own citizens back to their own country?
I wonder how many Guatemalians are in Mexican hospitals for extended stays? Anyone know?
I think we all know what Mexico's "agenda" is seeing as they published a guide on how to sneak into the U.S. illegally.
President Obama was supposed to do something about this! You know, "Change" and all that?
Since when did enforcing our laws especially our immigration laws become,....."optional?"
He's got two years to turn this situation around or he won't be re-elected.
Washington needs to realize that *Mexico is not our friend!*
The American People already know that! -

ShaDashia, it does matter if he's in the country illegally and we all have to pay for his medical bills through our taxes, even you!
And yes, we do have plenty of layabouts in this country the differance is that they're "Our" layabouts.
Also, any insurance companies would deny any claim on him to pay once they found out he was in the country illegally and not qualified to be on any of their policies.
Insurance companies are "funny" like that, everything has to be *legal* or they can simply deny the claim based on all that small print that nobody reads.("No illegal activity etc") They'll simply return the premiums that were paid.
As for whatever medical care he gets in Mexico that is entirely up to Mexico and his doctor there. -
Thomas commented on the article |I have a degree in Bus. Adm. from a good school in New England.
In this "global economy" it's tough to find a job anywhere. Anytime a job becomes good paying with benefits it gets outsourced to a foreign country if possable.
Consequently we have a lot of people chasing ever fewer jobs. All those "free-trade" deals are killing the job market for grads in this country.
Look at "NAFTA", Clinton promised us, "millions of high-paying manufacturing jobs and less illegal immigration from Mexico" if it were passed. Just the opposite happened and right from the start!
Do you know one person who was in favor of "NAFTA?" Me neither.
It's been 16 years now and "NAFTA" has been nothing but a disaster!
Until we get out of all of those free trade deals it doesn't matter which school you went to.
It's the law of supply and demand. For every 100,000 blue collar jobs we ship overseas we also ship 30,000-40,000 white collar jobs with them! Plus all the ancilliary jobs that they generate.
Look at lawyers, many of them are starving because of an oversupply. How many judges do you see "going back into the private sector" to become lawyers again?
M.D.s are going to be next. They graduate them by the hundreds of thousands in India.
With this global economy degrees just aren't worth what they used to be. We need to change course in this country.
Countries that manufacture things are well off countries. Until we reverse this "global economy" type of,.....thinking, we will continue to be in a downward spiral and degrees will become worth less and less.
People who are doing their disertations are beginning to see this problem. This is what happens when "big business" has too much influence over our government.
Our congressmen and senators need to hear from us about getting out of "NAFTA" and the other one way trade deals loud and clear!
Thankyou

Thomas commented on the article |Banjamin, no-one is stopping you from picking up a rifle are they? If you feel so strongly about this get your butt over there and take a good rifle and about 1,000 rounds of ammo with you. And water containers, first aid kit with snake-bite works, plenty of sun screen and plenty of other supplies. etc.
Everyone wants "someone else" to do it don't they?
I'm retired military I did my thing.
And just when I thought we couldn't have a worse president than Bush, Obama comes along and blows him right out of the water!
I haven't heard anyone calling him a, "brilliant legal scholor" for quite a while now.
He could have 100 Ph.Ds and they wouldn't do him any good.
It's funny, some of the smartest, brightest people I know or have met didn't have any "degrees." And some of the dullest people I know or have met do!

Thomas commented on the article |So? I'm white and in Logan airport in Boston, Mass on my way to Ireland I was escorted into a small room with a long table in it and all my luggage dumped out and examined. After that I was strip-searched for "no reason" down to my underware.
When I asked them why I was singled out they told me that I'd, "just hit the lotterey."
I guess they just do "random" searches.
And I'm retired military! And I was well dressed.

Thomas commented on the article |Correct, no government can "grant" you any rights. That's why so many people in so many states are doing "open carry" where they carry their weapons openly and there's nothing the police can do about it.
As for "equal rights for women" I'm all for it in the U.S. but you need to understand that what people in foreign countries do is their own business. Also, I couldn't care less about foreign countries.
We start getting involved in foreign countries and the next thing you know they're getting foreign aid and trying to get into this country.
There must be a reason that "God" put oceans on the earth that seperate the continents. This is the time to be getting out of treaties and trade deals, not getting involved in anymore and guess who all the other countries would expect to *pay* for it? How do you tell the Taxpayers that "yes, we saved 17 women in Crapistan but,..... it cost the Taxpayers $80 million?" No thankyou!
As Thomas Jefferson said, "Friends to all nations, alliances with none, should be our motto."

Thomas commented on the article |Of course they do. That was a one-time deal when Bush and Bono forgave the bad debts of African countries and bailed out those banks at the expense of the U.S. Taxpayers. There won't be anymore "deals" like that and the banks know it.
I wouldn't be surprised if Bono owned a lot of stock in big banks.
You can't make loans to people or countries who you *know* can't pay back those loans.
If you were a banker would you make a loan to Haiti? If you did you wouldn't be a banker for very long.
Bank loans and "foreign aid" "dissapear" in third and fourth world countries. Look at Baby Doc Duvalier, when Clinton sent him to France and put in Aristede Baby Doc had a reported $675 Million U.S. Dollars, not Haitian gourds socked away in Swiss banks and no-one did anything about it!
You just can't loan money to or give money to countries like that.
If you were a banker would you loan a drug addict $25,000?

Thomas commented on the article |We have about 20 million illegal aliens in this country who need to be deported before I could have any concern for people like this. But, if they overstayed their "tourist" visa they all need to go.
Mallory, no-one wants "the loss of our immigrant population!" Where did you get that from?
When did enforcing our laws, especially our immigration laws become "optional?"
