on the other hand, ami's first post after making that ridiculously pointless OP, was to say that she really had no idea what she meant when she posted it (the OP). pearls before swine indeed.

i am not here to win any one over. i am here to challenge mindless bigotry in many shapes and forms. you know, like making OPs that declare the president a disaster and then having no idea why you said it.

the prefab garbage that gets fed on the airwaves as news and considered opinion but is basically nothing but slant and propaganda designed to confuse the issues, and which people swallow whole and then consider they have an "opinion" and "information".

but i am curious how you like having to carry all your working papers/id with you to prove that you are not illegal yourself?

Well, that's a pretty outrageous statement if I ever heard one.

AG is a Touch Military but he got out as soon as possible (he could not take it).

Right...I got out because I couldn't take it. Let me tell you, there's nothing super difficult about being in the Navy for four years. However, as an advocate of personal responsibility I couldn't very well allow myself to stay in a system where a good portion of people never mature. You have everything taken care for you. All you have to do is not screw up. Witnessing all the instances of men and women in their 30's and 40's acting well below their age in how they deal with people was evidence enough that the military did not provide an atmosphere for growth for would-be adults.

Perhaps I should have started with this fact: it would have been exponentially EASIER for me as an adult to have stayed in and had everything provided to me. I incurred no debt in the military, and left with a sizeable savings account, because things were so easy (and because I'm a reasonably smart person that can recognize what needs to be done in preparation for getting off of military welfare). I'd be two years away from retirement right now if I'd have stayed in. That was just a plain absurd statement.

I have a high school friend. Actually, she was my first girlfriend in Junior High. She's now a politician in Green Valley. She doesn't post a lot on Facebook, but when she does a fair amount of the time it's political in nature. Never once have I heard her complain about illegal immigrants.

I went to look for news from your little town. Imagine my surprise when the first story is Gay Travel: Bisbee, AZ Something Altogether Different. It's from June 10th of this year. It mocks crime:

How's this for eclectic?
A crime story in the weekly Bisbee Observer: "An unknown person is spraying WD-40 on a Bisbee garage every day and night. The garage owner has the empty cans for evidence."
Or this?
A flier on a telephone pole: "Missing Chicken. Big, fluffy, yellow. Her name is Wavy. Last seen Thurs 5/24 on OK Street. If you see her, catch her! She is very sweet. Call us …"

Of course there was no mention of danger via illegal immigration, but it's a travel article, so maybe it's not worth mentioning. At least if I did take you up on your offer I could be assured a fabulous vacation.

The Sierra Vista Herald at least has an immigration section. That gives some creedence to the issue being a meaningful one. There's nothing about crime by illegals in that section today (nor the drain on services), but I did find an article stating that they're hiring 20 new DPS workers that must be willing to live in places like Bisbee.
