Speaking of illegal immigrants...

If the Government starts to look at credentials closely, what crimes will the media report?

---------------------

Flying lessons anyone?

Have you noticed the media often mentions someone's religion, race, or legal status when they are : (a) trying to make fun of someone's religion, race, or legal status or (b) trying to sway people to their way of thinking about someone's religion, race, or legal status, or (c) trying to stir people up and cause trouble about someone's religion, race, or legal status.

Just my observation!!! I'm sure there are some who will disagree. That's ok! They are entitled to their opinions too.

trying to stir people up and cause trouble about someone's religion, race, or legal status.

That guy on the FBI list with the multiple wives has me running scared.

Sometimes Mormons freak me out!

ESPN is currently promoting the Little League World Series.

Teams from all over the planet come to the US to play baseball.

the commercial I saw has a van load of kids singing "take me out to the ball game" in spanish. The kids representing the team from Mexico.

I thought about the car being chased by the Border Patrol that flipped and killed 9 out the 21 people on board.

I am waiting for the cries of racial insensitivity.

FYI the mormon religion does NOT allow polygamy. If this person has multiple wives, he is not a member of the mormon church.

Thank you Vio and Jackie for an outsider's view. We are a nation of immigrants but sometimes we are a nation of I have mine, now go away.

When some brag..."my forefathers came here legally....it puzzles me....until fairly recently coming here legally meant having the money to buy passage and not having any of a number of communicable deseases and not being Chinese (for a while there was a national law against immigrants from China.) Quotas for immigrants from different countries and much of the red tape is relatively new.

It also meant being low man/woman on the totem pole. Working the jobs others didn't want and hopefully....working your way up and into the larger society.

We often wax eloquently about being the children of immigrants...until someone else wants to immigrate that is!

Two of my ancestors are Native American!!! Yep, they are here legally!!

It always astounded me when one of the most anti-immigration-of-any-sort people I have ever met was a woman by the last name of Gradziulis. (She is now deceased.) Now you know, you just know that that name was NOT present on the Mayflower, nor is it a Native American name, or even something that's been "Americanized" from being here so long. As she was more than 60 years my elder, I bit my tongue rather than pick a fight with her, but I was always astounded.

Like gun laws, immigration laws do not work if they are not enforced on anything but a sporadic basis.

I agree with this. Having worked in a Visa Section, I have my own idea of how it should work and how it does. Yes, a lot of people in search for a better life, break the law. People pay here around $6000 to get out of the country (to facilitators WHO I would call criminals). They sell everything for a chance. They are used wherever they go. They make some little money, taking care of old people - someone's parents, cleaning fish - that goes on someone's table, collecting garbage - everyone's garbage. Not many people from rich countries would take a job like that, because taking care of an incontinent old woman is not something they've been dreaming of doing. Yes, they don't pay taxes, make the ones who hire them responsible for that.

I was talking about the Evil Mormons....

And what's off-beat about my Methodist church? Come any Sunday, and you'll see we keep the beat very well - and we'll make sure you don't leave hungry afterwards.

Now, dearie, I didn't say there was bad-for-you food, did I? There's always fruit and other good stuff, as well as the more indulgent goodies ...
