  • Reply to: Help Yourself to Deportation   15 years 6 months ago

    Law makers, and others who claim that operation scheduled departure as inhumane because these illegal immigrants 'Have children here, have jobs, or have homes here' are out of line. These people are NOT SUPPOSED to have jobs here, employers that hire them are criminals, they aren't supposed to buy homes here since they aren't legally entitled to be here in the first place. NOTHING stops them from renting out their properties and hiring people legally entitled to employment in this country to look after their real investments.

    As for their children, I feel there needs to be redress in what constitutes an American citizen, birth on US soil is NOT enough. Citizenship should be commensurate with the ability to vote, age 18 presently, or as part of a term of service in the US military for children born on US soil or of at least one parent who is an existing citizen. Our minor age children should enjoy all the protections of citizenship, but not all of the rights. Most municipalities already recognize this fact in the form of curfews for minors, restricting access to certain merchants and vendors who distribute adult oriented materials, movie ratings, etc.

    By adjusting the age of citizenship we can in all clear conscious, keep families together even in the deportation process.

    Presently, local law enforcement agencies, such as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Dept, have instituted practices whereby they overlook or disregard a persons immigration status when dealing with suspects. This is done under the guise of protecting illegals from exploitation, due to the fear of reporting crimes against illegals. The truth is, if they weren't here to begin with, they couldn't be exploited here. Suspects arrested should have their status verified and illegals need to be deported, the costs for such transportation can come out of any aid/relief packages that have been negotiated between the US and whatever country the illegal is from. This would create an incentive for these countries to tighten their OWN boarders in regards to how many of their citizens leave their soil.

    I watched a video that gave different global perspectives about e-cigs and the controversy plaguing them. Apparently, the nicotine product has never been tested on humans. It has been used for patches and gum, but never inhaled before, so the long-term effects are unknown. I hope that this product proves to be effective because I think it is very important that chain smokers have a small ray of hope for quitting. But I wouldn't try it until I knew all of the side effects.

    He was talking about war and keeping info from enemies. Of course, maybe I forgot that we take corporate endeavors/competition as if they are operating on a war footing. As moral people, perhaps we might try to rethink that.

    Calling and emailing the Army contacts for this request for proposals, asking for more information about why it was canceled, got me the following non-response:

    Ma'am,
    The requirement has been canceled. There is no longer a requirement for
    PAO support.

    For further questions please contact the COB Speicher Public Affairs
    Office.

    Thank you.
