Okay, I'll play liberal devil's advocate.

First, I'm not saying that we don't need to change the way things are in the U.S., and your post illustrates some of the immigration issues that we need to deal with, but seriously, would you really want the U.S. to revert to a brutal system of government that takes the actions that your post indicates are taken by those other governments*?

Would you want to live in one of those other countries (maybe you would)? I wouldn't.


*I have not checked your facts, so I am not agreeing that those specific governments take those specific actions. I am only using the statements made to illustrate actions that I would not  want to see from our government, although the "Saudi" reference to being jailed is vague, and a reasonable jail sentence after a trial would follow our laws and Constitution. Simple deportation would probably be the best choice, with increasing jail time for repeat offenders. That might save some tax dollars.

While we rant a little about the Govt. can someone please explain to me why the post office motto is  neither rain  nor snow nor sleet nor gloom of night shall keep us from our appointed rounds ( dont know the exact quote) yet I dont get my mail when it snows nor do I get it at night or Sundays.   

[stayouttadabunker]
