Barack Obama made headlines Friday as he stated that his administration will no longer deport young illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. when they were children. His announcement, as expected, was met with part-joy and part-skepticism -- as well as a heckler who constantly kept interrupting the president as he spoke.
"These are young people who study in our schools, they play in our neighborhoods, they're friends with our kids, they pledge allegiance to our flag. They are Americans in their heart, in their minds, in every single way but one: on paper," the president said in his speech Friday morning. But he was also quick to add that this is not a permanent answer. "This is not amnesty. This is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship... It's not a permanent fix," Obama said. Do you think the U.S. should stop deporting young immigrants?
Keep in mind that each ethnic group that has entered this country has contributed to the whole. If you have ever been around Mexicans to see how hard they work, often doing jobs US born citizens don't want or wouldn't do as well, you might just sit down to dinner of vegatables and/or bite into an apple, and appreciate their existance here.
Laws and rules are made by humans, like YOU and me. "Rules" and laws always have to be modified, adjusted, and flex (like our minds and hearts) to accomodate change, humanity, life, and grow... It's called evolving as human beings .....

And remember "reality" is just a thought... any thought... that has been repeated... Therefore there is no real reality.

900 teachers just got laid off from the Los Angeles Unified School District . They are $650,000 over their annual budget.
The following English teacher helps to explain one area that looms large over California 's educational crisis.
This English teacher has phrased it the best I've seen yet.
This should make everyone think, be you Democrat, Republican or Independent.
>From a California school teacher and department head.
"As you listen to the news about the student protests over illegal immigration, there are some things that you should be aware of:
I am in charge of the English-as-a-second-language department at a large southernCalifornia high school which is designated a Title 1 school, meaning that its students average lower socioeconomic and income levels.
Most of the schools you are hearing about, South Gate High, Bell Gardens , Huntington Park , etc.. where these students are protesting, are also Title 1 schools.
Title 1 schools are on the free breakfast and free lunch program. When I say free breakfast, I'm not talking a glass of milk and roll -- but a full breakfast and cereal bar with fruits and juices that would make a Marriott proud. The waste of this food is monumental, with trays and trays of it being dumped in the trash uneaten.
I estimate that well...

I estimate that well over 50% of these students are obese or at least moderately overweight. About 75% or more DO have cell phones. The school also providesday care centers for the unwed teenage pregnant girls(some as young as 13) so they can attend class without the inconvenience of having to arrange for babysitters or having family watch their kids.
I was ordered to spend $700,000 on my department or risk losing funding for the upcoming year even though there was little need for anything; my budget was already substantial. I ended up buying new computers for the computer learning center, half of which, one month later, have been carved with graffiti by the appreciative students who obviously feel humbled and grateful to have a free education in America .
I have had to intervene several times for young and substitute teachers whose classes consist of many illegal immigrant students here in the country less than 3 months who raised so much hell with the female teachers, calling them "Putas"(whores) and throwing things, that the teachers were in tears.
Free medical, free education, free food, day care, etc, etc, etc. Is it any wonder they feel entitled not only to be in this country but to demand rights, privileges and entitlements?
To those who want to point out how much these illegal immigrants contribute to our society because they LIKE their gardener and housekeeper and they like to pay less for tomatoes: spend some time in the real world of illegal immigration and see the TRUE costs.
Higher insurance, medical facilities closing, higher medical costs, more crime, lower standards of education in our schools, overcrowding, new diseases etc., etc, etc. For me, I'll pay more for tomatoes.
Americans, We need to wake up. The guest worker program will be a disaster because we won't have the guts to enforce it. Does anyone in their right mind really think they will voluntarily leave and return?
It does, however, have everything to do with culture: A third-world culture that does not value education, that accepts children getting pregnant and dropping out of school by 15 and that refuses to assimilate, and anAmerican culture that has become so weakand worried about"political correctness " that we don't have the will to do anything about it.
If this makes your blood boil, as it did mine, forward this to everyone you know including your Congressmen and Senators.
CHEAP LABOR? Isn't that what the whole immigration issue is about?
Business doesn't want to pay a decent wage.
Consumers don't want expensive produce.
Government will tell you Americans don't want the jobs.
But the bottom line is cheap labor. The phrase "cheap labor" is a myth and a lie.
There is no such thing as "cheap labor."
Take, for example, an illegal alien with a wife and five children. He takes a job for $5.00 or 6.00/hour. At that wage, with six dependents, he pays no income tax, yet at the end of the year, if he files an Income Tax Return, he gets an "earned income credit" of up to $3,200 free.
He qualifies for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent.
He qualifies for food stamps..
He qualifies for free (no deductible), noco-pay) health care.
His children get free breakfasts and lunches at school.
He requires bilingual teachers and books.
He qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
If they are or become, aged, blind or disabled, they qualify for SSI.
Once qualified for SSI they can qualify for Medicare. All of this is at (our) taxpayer's expense.
He doesn't worry about car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance.
Taxpayers provide Spanish language signs, bulletins and printed material.
He and his family receive the equivalent of $20.00 to $30.00/hour inbenefits.
Working Americans are lucky to have $5.00 or $6.00/hour left after paying their bills AND the illegals.
The American taxpayers also pay for increased crime, graffiti and trash clean-up.
Cheap labor? YEAH RIGHT! Wake up people!
THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING TO THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES FOR EITHER PARTY. 'AND WHEN THEY LIE TO US AND DON'T DO AS THEY SAY, WE SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT ONCE!'
THIS HAS GOT TO BE PASSED ALONG TO AS MANY AS POSSIBLE OR WE WILL ALL GO DOWN THE DRAIN BECAUSE A FEW DON'T CARE.
To Ignore the facts
does not
Change the facts.
T-121 and counting
This article represented one frustrated employee in a very extreme, isolated and dramatic position. (Another in his/her position may have taken more initiative to object and change her world a bit. ??)
And... remember.... this country was created by immigrants except for Native & African Americans.
BTW- Mooseshell is an obese slob.
Who is Mooseshell?

And that's the core of the issue here. And it is ENTIRELY un-American to go against what I've just explained to you here. It is ENTIRELY un-American to put foreign Nationals ahead of your own Citizenry and blatantly disregard their wishes and will, for the wants of again, a foreign Nation's subjects. Not only is that un-American, it is UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND CRIMINAL - IT IS TYRANNY!
I wonder today, how you have reacted to yesterday's legal interpretation of our Constitution? The President said it all yesterday when he said, "I sure didn't pass the Health Bill for political gain, but to help all Americans... At least we have one person who does consider all of us rather than his own BS.
And as for the "Native Americans" (of which I share 3% of my overall bloodlines with through my dad, by the way): http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sc... ALSO not indigenous.
Further, the DIFFERENCE between now and then is the fact that we now have something called the RULE OF LAW, NATIONS and BORDERS - not a lawless, wild land with ancient "castle law" anymore - and there CERTAINLY was not any socialism whatsoever for them to come and suck off of, bankrupting everyone else there, either. And also, those who immigrated here LEGALLY did so from Ellis Island, my grandmother's family came here (again) LEGALLY through Ellis Island from Norway. They did not sneak in and they worked their assess off (while, again, being LEGALLY NATU...

Trying to compare these instances to the INVASION of Foreign National Alien FELONS who sneak over here, and sit on their assess popping out a dozen kids primarily to suck off of welfare and other public dole SOCIALISM that they did not work to pay one red cent into first like everyone else who is able to work has had to do, is LUDICROUS!!!
Change is a part of existence.... Laws and PEOPLE must flex and changes as new circumstances and facts presnt themselves. Rantings & rage never have helped anything.
