A free clue for those who desperately need one - his assertion that everybody in America is "scared shitless" of illegal immigrants is a strawman argument.

If it has four walls and bars on the windows, you could call it a jail ... but then again, in South Texas, most homes have bars on the windows. The Hispanic lobby in south Texas is so powerful, I would doubt anything like that could be going on, and not be a major campaign issue.

I'll give you this: Amy Goodman is a source of unbiased news and information just like Rush Limbaugh is a source of unbiased news and information. She's as biased to the Left as Rush is to the right, and if one is a "journalist" then they both are. quote: ORIGINAL: juliaoceania Amy Goodman of Democracy Now is an award winning journalist whose broadcast is listener supported...

Then why so much anxiety? People are equating the guy who cleans tables with terrorists. That sounds "Scared Shitless". Or let me rephrase. Given the apparent fear surrounding people who don't have the PROPER PAPERS, Y'all sure are a bunch of pussies. Better?

Spin her all you want, but NOTHING beats being right years later when history gets around to giving grades.

The majority is against you, fargle - and rather than sink to your level, and start calling names, I think I'll just leave it at this: The USA willingly absorbs plenty of immigrants, and the way to come in is through the front door. quote: ORIGINAL: farglebargle Sure...

I agree Sanity, we are a nation of immigrants, just come here legally.

Given the apparent fear surrounding people who don't have the PROPER PAPERS, Y'all sure are a bunch of pussies. Better? Fargle, I don't think people are "scared shitless" of illegal aliens at all. I think that we just want OUR government to do it's job for once and deport them like they're supposed to be doing. I mean is there some problem there? If people in government can't or won't do the job then they need to quit! Resign. I don't "hate" illegal aliens but I don't have any sympathy for them either. I am concerned about being in close proximity to them as they have high rates of diseases like T.B. and also Leprosey! All my dislike is more directed towards MY government for not doing it's job. I mean when are they going to loosen up on the laws against bank robbery? I find it very odd that people can be concerned about children in foreign countries but they'll walk right by homeless and unloved kids in this country! I lived in an upper class town in New Hampshire for 10 years. I noticed that there were people who had adopted children from foreign countries while about 40 miles south in Boston there were thousands of kids in state custody who could have used a stable home. That doesn't make any sense to me! Those foreign countries need to take care of their own people. Why should we be arguing over illegal aliens from Mexico or any other country when they should simply be returned to their home countries? There's a few laws I don't like either but I have to obey them.

My mistake, he was captured at O'Hare airport and detained for 3.5 years without ever being brought up on charges or facing his accusers. This is in strict violation of the Article 6 of the United States Bill of Rights. So you are correct, no US citizen was ever sent to Gitmo. Sinergy

He was denied this by the Bush administration et al. I say we give everybody involved a chance to spend some time in the Big House. They swore to uphold and defend the constitution and egregiously failed to do so. http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/treason Enjoy! Sinergy edited for quote issues.

I wonder why they didn't charge this guy? They should have right away. I really don't know anything about this case only saw it in the news a few times. If they had the goods on him he should have been arraigned right away. The assholes in GTMO. are al qeada. I don't know why people are concerned with their "rights" as they have none. They're POWs they can be held for the duration of the war according to Geneva Conventions. I don't think we can ever let them go, what do people think they'd do if they got loose? And why should the Taxpayers be paying for Qurans for them? "Sorry Achmed, we're all out of Qurans, check out this Bible."

Spin her all you want, but NOTHING beats being right years later when history gets around to giving grades. I believe that when history is giving out grades Amy Goodman will at least pass the smell test of repeating repeating repeating what some politician says. I remember listening to her interview with Bill Clinton.. she grilled him on substantial things, (this was on election day when Al Gore was running against Bush), and Clinton's people called her and told her she would never have "access" to him after that interview.. I guess she actually did her job and asked hard questions, and because that just isn't done, she will never get a Bill Clinton interview again... I loved her response to the Clinton people...Paraphrasing here: "I told them 'Access? I didn't know I had 'access' to Bill Clinton in the first place"[:D] She has a different slant for sure, but she gets her facts right, and she gets the stories we hear nothing about... the kind that make you think "wtf?"

True or not, the overreaction to Pedro washing dishes for below minimum wage sounds like the ravings of delusional paranoiacs. But hey, y'all justify your fall towards totalitarianism however you want. FREE MEN AND WOMEN DO NOT CARRY PAPERS. How you going to deal with that in your world of "MACHT SCHNELL, PAPERS!!"???
