First of all, in response to DomKen, while what you state is true, hyou seem to completely miss what I was saying. (Perhaps that is why you said that it is so rediculious it is pathetic.) I fully understand that immigrants set up enclaves, and why they do so, but that is not what I was talking about. The immigrants that I have had contact with, which I will admit is a small group, but these individuals refuse to even attempt to assimilate, and expect me to adapt to their culture. I have met several legal immigrants, and they hate the illegals. Their response toward them is, "I came to this country legally, why didn't they?" And each and every single one of these legal immigrants has done as I state in my original post, they have learned the language and adapted. Not a single one of them expected me to adapt to their culture. They were proud of it, but they were more proud of the fact that they were trying to make a better life for themselves and that they were doing it legally. They obviously plan to remain here, and not return home once the money dries up. As for cyberdude611, I hate to ask, but what cave have you been hiding in? You state that the Supreme court will restore the right to bear arms later this year, and this may be so, but as of right now, the 4th, 5th, 6th and 10th Amendments have been destroyed, and mean nothing. Right now, in 44 states the police have the right to stop you for no other reason than you are driving a car. The 4th Amendment states, "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." What ever happend to probable cause? As for the 5th, have a drink and then drive. It has been ruled that Miranda does not have to be read at the time of arrest, as it is in other cases. A person can be questioned without having the benifit of having an attorney present. As of right now, DUI/DWI is the only type of criminal charge where this is allowed, but how long before it is applied to other charges? The 6th Amendment, well the last time I checked, a DUI/DWI costs around $800 for the offender. Um, that seems a little more than the $20 stated in this amendment, and since everyone "knows" that all people arrested for DUI/DWI are guilty, why waste time with a jury trial? Ronald Reagan was a good president, but he allowed the MADD proopaganda to sway him, and he circumvented the 10th, by tying federal highway funds to raising the drinking age to 21. MADD claims that this has saved thousands of lives each year, but it is interesting to note that traffic fatalities have not decreased significantly since 1984, a couple of years before the federally mandated drinking age requirement. I firmly believe that MADD and their ideals, are the single most dangerous threat to this country. No terrorist group in the world has the power that MADD has!
