A Path to Citizenship? Senators Reach Bipartisan Agreement on Sweeping Immigration Reform

@Oldvet: After looking at our tax, regulatory, and other government run systems you automatically assume that our immigration system is setup to be fair, efficient and effective despite it being a patchwork of laws built up heavily under the influence of Progressives and Unions? You might want to rethink that stance.

We don’t have to agree that the left is correct and give amnesty for all, but we can recognize that there is a problem that needs to be addressed at a fundamental level instead of uselessly throwing away billions fighting the problem let’s fix the source of it. And in order to do that we must approach it and understand that the system is difficult, flawed, and painfully slow.

I don’t agree with all of the Immigration Policy Centers solutions, but they understand the problems in the system that the illegals are trying to get around and that’s a good place to look at to start addressing the problem in a meaningful and constructive way.

I found the “Breaking Down the Problems” article on this link a very good resource for understanding where the problems really are in the system.

I used to be part of the “punish the illegals” crowd until I learned how much of a mess the actual system is from some people I worked with who went though the process. It’s a nightmare and I’d never wish it on anybody. We have so many hold over laws from the Wilson and Union thug periods that we really need to look at comprehensive reform.

I’m personally going to hold my judgment until I see this bill, it might actually be a good step in the right direction.

Shot for suspicion of terrorism… You really think about what you just said. Especially when the administration has conservative leaning organizations and individuals listed as the likeliest sources of domestic terrorism.
High-Tech ‘Granny Pods’ Allow Elderly Family Members to Live Comfortably in a Backyard Cottage for $125K

“Monitored from a distance”? Okay…

Lighten up, this isn’t anything more than making a backyard apartment for your elderly relative so that they can stay with you, have their own privacy and independence, and a nice place to stay that can keep track of them in case they have an emergency.

It’s actually pretty neat. Yeah sure it’s expensive, but it has tons of useful things that you won’t think about if you built one yourself.

And who said they were confined in there? This is meant for a back yard. They’re only stuck there if you force them to be. Is it really any worse than a Granny Attic? If anything, this is a major improvement over that concept.

Heh, well technically I spelled the word in its UK form, but yeah that’s amusing. Score 1 internet for you sir. (Here’s my correction *misspell)

Also, I’m by FAR not a catholic. I don’t believe that catholic faith is the correct one and have many reservations with their doctrine. My wife is an ex-catholic and most of my pagan friends are all ex-Catholics. I’ve heard enough about the faith and some of the people in it, but I won’t call them filthy or anything else along those lines. I’ll just continue to let them live their lives as they see fit as long as they are worshiping in peace.

That’s because I’m not filled with hate, like you. I will stand up for them because they have a right to worship, just as you do. I may think they’re wrong on their interpretation of everything and have problems with their doctrine/faith but it isn’t enough to drive me into a frothing rage over the thought of someone being one and targeting nameless followers with hate filled rants. That type of thinking leads to genocide.

Congrats, you think they’re wrong in their faith, good for you. Move on dude, seriously, you might want to see a therapist or at least get your Thetan levels checked…

Oh, and Tommy, please at least look at the my screen name when you’re trying to type a response using it. There’s no need to mispell it. It’s right there in front of you. We won’t judge you if you cheat on this spelling test.

It’s MONTARA-MISSILE-MAN but without the dashes

@Tommy, who said my feelings were hurt? I just can’t get over how much your typing skills remind me of the way Gollum speaks, it’s actually making me laugh really freaking hard.

Seriously, it’s everything I can do to not read that out loud and add in “little hobbitses” every time he says “filthy catholics”

Try reading everything he’s saying but change every instance of “filthy catholic” to “filthy little catholic hobbitses”, and be sure to do it out loud in a Gollum voice.
