HE was asked about the three branches of government and in his haste to answer and nervousness, he said, "The Army, Navy and Marines!"

The woman saw he was nervous and said to him, "That's good enough for me!"

So the INS/ICE thought enough of some dumb, old Mexican green card holder to let him become a citizen.

Sometimes we toss out the jewels before we know how valuable they are to us.

P.S. My dad was caught, tossed into the jail on Terminal Island near Lost Angeles, deported and came back under the law.

Funny, I always wonder how a jailbird became my hero!
And I'm referring to the illegals who choose to stay illegals and NOT get off their "arse" as your father did!!! Therein lies a big difference - and those are the ones I have issues with - along with the deadbeats and moochers that I think I may have mentioned as well. At my age - I'm sure I'll not live long enough to see much improvement in the way the tax dollar is given away so freely to some, yet not for others.

And you avoided any comment on my question/statement on "We do"??? Maybe YOU do, but I think the majority would say "We don't"!!!
