Schumer & Clinton Stand Up For Identity Theft

Wile this legislation is part of the immigration debate it is also worded so that someone could collect Social Security by commiting identity theft. Even if they reworked the law to take identity theft out of it, how could anyone vote to table a bill like this?

Ronald Reagan on Immigration

This article is interesting. My take on this issue is that we should do the following in order:
1 - Secure our borders. Frankly I am less concerned about Schictel's migrants or the Irish bartenders but if they can get in, so can Al Quaida
2) Stop the laws that coddle lawbreakers. I believe we should provide free medical care for any illegals who are here and who need it, but all other benefits should be revoked. Send all of them home to their countries of origin.
3) Increase the number of H1-B visas granted - maybe double the number.
4) The immigrants (like my ancestors) who helped build this country had to work hard, and they had to assimilate to the American culture. Utility companies did not offer their instructions in any language other than English. We should do the same now.

BTW - the Canadian Border is just as porous as the Mexican border.

A Nice Story

We don't often get these kinds of stories from the downstream media.This story about a Mayor from Iraq is pretty moving.

Steadfast

I thank God we have a President who is unmoved by polls. I disagree with him on some key issues, but I have a hard time reconciling this with this.

Lancaster schools get the most bang for the buck - Business First of Buffalo:

This research by Business First demonstrates that there is no simple cause-effect relationship between per pupil expenditures and results. It would be great if they included the Private Schools in these comparisons.

Nothing Beats Hypocrisy!

An interesting Combination of Bumper Stickers.
BTW, of course there was an Impeach Bush sticker as well...
So you can see it is the same car...


Obviously an animal lover...


Babies . . . not so much...

Good Riddance

I am not a big Tom Delay fan, but the ad hominem attacks from these wackos make me want to rethink my position. Their compilation seems to be made at least partially out of whole cloth. They quote each other, but then make it seem as if the quotes came from Delay when they did not (at least some). Most moving, perhaps, is the show of tolerance from one of the commenters:

The good news is, this greedy turd will die of cancer. K Street can't lobby the big C. You can't pray it away, and all your rich friends can't help you. He will be all alone with his God. Hope it works out, Hot Tub.

Colorado Schools

OK - let me get this straight - Black Trenchoats are perfectly acceptable in Colorado Schools, but we need to ban flags "for student safety"?

Business First of Buffalo: NY 2nd in public school spending - 2006-04-03

If only NY were second in achievement! Bookmark this article for every time Phil Rumore or the Superintendant or anyone else says that the answer to pur problems is more money. Meanwhile, Catholic Schools with test scores way above their public school counterparts are closing because the death grip the unions have on state legislators. It is criminal . . .
