Yes, me too.

That's op art-ish. It would be cool if the type size reduced 10% with each nesting, until it "poof" disappeared.

These kids, and their damn drug slang and ghetto talk. This must be something to do with that sharia law I keep hearing about.

Yes.

It's a congenital condition. I don't like to discuss it.

By "other lawbreakers," you of course do mean those two cretins who knowingly and willfully broke the laws to obtain their info, right?

Breathlessly.

Dead yet? Breathlessly waiting on anyone around here is surely a suicide mission.

In the meantime, the evolution of our consciousness kinda-sorta compels us to acknowledge that the past legitimacy of the practice is suspect (by today's standards), and that what we have come to think of as the perquisites of sovereignty should at least be subjected to some scrutiny before we use them as exclusionary cudgels against human beings who presumably have the same reasons for wanting to be here as did our own immigrant ancestors.

Evidently, I wasn't careful enough to make it clear that "Going forward, at any rate" was intended to mean that I expect and endorse no such unraveling. My apologies. It was so intended.

So, no, I absolutely reject the idea that there can be any question of the sovereignty of the present United States government over the land in question here, much less the idea that such question can be used in any way to vitiate the strength or legitimacy of our immigration laws, regardless of how much of a "cudgel" they are for other human beings.

I hope I didn't explicitly deny the legitimacy of those laws, as they presently appear on the books. I do have the sense that such laws have historically been enforced, and in some cases, have been written in such a way as to put members of some ethnic groups at a disproportionate and inequitable disadvantage. To the extent that my sense is an accurate reflection of reality, I would like to see some reform of those laws, and if that reform results in a temporary disproportionate advantage to those ethnic groups, I think I could be okay with that.

It is the duty of every good citizen to report illegals and other lawbreakers, and not turn a blind eye to their activities.

Seems Hitler and his Nazis, as well as George W. Bush (via his Patritot [Patriot? Really?] Act), said the same thing. I guess you're in good company, no?

Hired killer? Nice jerkish comment, that.
