    Private Prison as Stimulus

    John,

    You still got it wrong. This is a "General Penalty Provision" and not a misdemeanor and/or felony as you mistakenly thought it was. Sorry....but you still need to get the facts straight!!!

    Marvin,

    1) look at your ancestors and tell me if all of them came here LEGALLY? (I respectfully submit they did not, unless they were Native American)

    2) the fact that you see a lot of non-English speaking people in a day does not mean that "many of those are in America illegally." First, that is a just an assumption based on prejudice. Secondly, if you want to generalize, check how many people with your last name (Foster) are in prison. Because more than 2,000 Fosters are in prison, you must be a criminal too. Finally, the "people" you see everyday can speak Chinese, Spanish, French, etc. The problem is people like you, who would NEVER advance in life because of prejudices. If you do not think, I am correct, just go to Europe and see how many languages each person speaks in each European country.

    P.S.: These "people" pay "social security", "medicare", and other government-mandated deductions, for which they NEVER get the benefits.

    This is to respond to Deb, "The proud wife of an immigrant!", and John Lehman.

    John, I suggest you do a little research before trying to make a point (of prejudice) about something you do not actually have a clue.

    As a threhold matter, please note that crossing the border illegally is not a misdeamenor; it is a civil violation.  Two or three entries, become a crime.

    True, it is ILLEGAL to cross the border without papers.  However, it was that ILLEGALITY that made the United States what it is today. Otherwise, the US would still be an Indian Nation. It was that ILLEGALITY committed by people from other nations that gave the United States solid grounds to become a powerful country and a country of opportunities, not only for Native American, but also for all those ILLEGAL ALIENS that came through the waters (and not through the points of entry).

    I'd like to ask John: Please look at where did your ancestors came from, and let me know if the ones that were not born in the US, cross the border through a point of entry?  If they did, whether they did so legally or ILLEGALLY.

    If everybody that crossed the border ILLEGALLY at "that time" had been taken to Jail as CRIMINALS, the US would not be what it is today.

    Thanks God, people like you were not around enforcing the laws at that time.

    P.S.: I do not think that commit violations (even if civil) are OK. But, what about if we pass a law that anytime you get a parking ticket, you go to prison for "violating the law." Would you (John and Deb) like such a law? In any event, it is an ILLEGALITY.
