Just wondering why we're not talking about this.

So with Iraq's contribution being a 10th of what Mexico, Canada and Venezuela supplies (Iran isn't even on the chart), why are gas prices so high? I mean, even if Iran stopped pumping oil, why would we care? (Its all a game, isn't it?)

So maybe our neighbors should give us a break on oil to defray the cost of all their folks are moving here. XD

Lol...

I've spent the last 3 hours sitting here and writing column after column, for a post. But I'll just drop it all. It's not worth it.

All in all. Here's my only advice to any country with a problem:

Take a close look at Sweden. Follow its example and you'll all be fine.

Goodbye.

Firstly, good choice reducing the three hours to three minutes.

Fixed it for you. No need to thanks. I'm a humble man. :)

An immigrant friend of ours just imparted a new twist on the scenario. My friend is from Africa and she is pissed.... Really pissed. She has been going through the naturalization process and has been playing by the rules for two years. She has been here working on Visas, she has been doing everything the right way. She is close to getting her citizenship and it will be a tearful, wonderful moment for her.

Unfortunately, she is seriously pissed off at the 11 to 20 million illegal aliens in this country who are trying to become citizens by not following the rules of the country they want to be naturalized in.

She says, "How can you expect to be a citizen if you can't even follow the first rules to get your citizenship?

I heard another take on this the other day. It was basically from those Americans living on the border. They're facing trespassers, destruction of property and theft. Illegals are taking whatever they need to survive, with no regard for those they're taking in from. As a national issue, I think its easy to overlook the local problems.

Okay, this is gonna sound cold hearted... But....

Today a van full of illegal aliens (27 to be exact) was racing down interstate 8 in California. They crashed and rolled several times. Two were killed immediately, the rest were injured, 11 required hospitalization, 3 were in critical condition.

One van crash is going to cost the taxpayers approximately 3/4 of a million dollars of health care. Depending on the length of care and depending if our system is obligated to rehabilitate those with serious injuries, these costs could go up dramatically.

There are between 11 million and 20 million illegal aliens in our country. This means that the majority of them do not have health insurance. Can you imagine the financial impact on our economy, let alone our health care services?
