You must have missed Carb's description of his adventures at the ER. He
made a point of how he was offended that he had to be in the same
waiting room as the smelly illegal aliens.

Where are the jobs? You can't have an economic recovery without jobs.
When we return to an unemployment rate of less than 5.5% then we will
have recovered. Until then we are fooling ourselves thinking that we are
recovering, that is unless you willing to accept a permanent 10%
unemployment rate.

No kidding! Didn't Obama break his promise to accept federal matching
funds and just go with contributions? He received well over $1 Bn
dollars. Do you suppose all of those people who contributed wanted
something for their contributions.

Sorry, Obama and the Democrats are on the hot seat right now and they
are the ones who are sucking down the lions share of cash for play.

Why, because you said so? Did you go to the Billy Clark school of
discussion?

The notion that politicians of both parties routinely do favors in
exchange for campaign contributions is so self-evidently true that I
thought even people as biased as yourself would instantly grasp it. I
sincerely apologize if I have over-estimated your capacity for rational
thought.

I would use the US military to secure our borders. Anyone attempting to
cross at any point other than an official US border crossing will be
shot dead on sight.

No, just shoot them making an illegal crossing, their reason for
crossing goes away very quickly. Unless they cross legally.

No, ship them back to their country of origin. You should not benefit
from your illegal activity. We don't let other criminals profit from
their criminal activities why should illegal aliens profit from their
criminal activity.

No. I am serious about tattooing them. There has to be a price paid for
committing a crime. And, it will make identifying repeat offenders that
much easier.

The problem is that you view them as undocumented workers when they are
illegal aliens who have committed a crime and they need to be held
accountable for their crimes. And, they should not profit from their
crimes.

Shoot, I get my quarterly MBO check tomorrow. Brings a whole new meaning
to incentive based pay.
