Yeah, it's all a big Hollywood commie conspiracy, ain't it, dude?
Bin Laden DIED years ago. There was no medical equipment to treat his kidney problems at the house he was allegedly shot.

I suggest you read up on exactly what it takes to deport someone. Clue - if it was simply a matter of buying someone a "one -way train ticket", likely we wouldn't have an illegal immigration policy.

Here's another fact you conservatives will likely take issue with, even though it is true and easily verified:

By the way, I do agree with you about not cutting unemployment benefits for people without a HS education or GED.
That is one of the more assinine proposals I've heard to come out of Washington.
Wow, someone posted on topic. I think I'll have a heart attack now.

Funny thing, the right loves to say they want Less Government yet they push for More Government rules and programs on regular baisis, me thinks someone is confused by what the term Less means
Indeed. And what do you do with those who have no diploma or GED and have very low IQs but are able to work in menial jobs? The Republicians don't want smaller government despite their protestations. They want less Democratic government.

I believe there is a conspiracy thread on this somewhere else (take a hint, please).

So this was the grand Republican plan? Trash the economy so badly that the illegal aliens would want to leave on their own? Great plan, Kevin.

I am sure they have a "Final Solution" for those deemed to be less worthy just waiting in the wings, as was once over the gates of a "relocation" camp, "Work Will Set You Free".

That's funny. I thought we were born with that particular liberty. It says so in the DOI. I guess someone forgot to tell the Republicans.
