A nation of immigrants, but most of us came here by way of a legal process. Do we need to build a border fence http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061012/pl_nm/security_funding_dc_1 on our southern border? It seems more symbolic than practical. Couldn't we put several billion into enforcing our curent immigration laws?
Hire a few more agents and let them do their job. Immigrants that have come her legally and waited 10 years or more to make it happen must feel betrayed. There should be a better process to let immigrants come and work the jobs that "Americans won't do," however it must be a legal process that works for everyone.
Most of the industrialized world is shrinking instead of growing because of an aging population and fewer children per family. So, a healthy steady stream of immigrants are important to our nation and it has been one of the biggest factors in our success.

Departed
Saw this flick Sunday night. I recommend you see it. I had no idea what it was about going in and so I had no expectation.
Jack at his finest - I'm told he adlibbed many of his lines.
Lots of twists and turns, right up until the end.
Bottom line, good acting, good story line.

Right or Left, the Middle is Screwed
Anyone else feel left behind from today's current political leaders? I don't care whether you lean left or right no one cares about you. The Democrats say that the Republicans have all the corporate money, but they get plenty of corporate money, too. In the end it doesn't matter because the individuals don't have lobbyists to plead their case.
Why don't we all get smart and start registering as Independents. The two parties take us for granted and never keep their promises to do what is best for America. I don't mean artificially lowering gas prices, but how about not passing legislation that gives oil companies tax credits when they make record profits.
The far right and the far left will keep putting up candidates that agree with their extreme view points and the rest of us (which is most of us) will be left holding the bag.
