Schwarzenegger praises “Minutemen” — Democrats Praise Bush?

Bravo Arnold! Maybe he could talk to our nitwit governor, Janet Napolitano. She doesn’t like the Minutemen. She likes to complain about the immigration problem but does nothing to fix it.

Oh yeah, we had another high speed chase today. A guy carrying 4 illegals was doing 110mph on the freeway at 11am. http://www.dailystar.com/dailystar/metro/72759.php
Thankfully nobody was hurt. Not that it would have mattered if someone was. The politicians still won’t do anything about it.

BTW, I think Operation Minuteman is a good thing. My issue is that far too few good hard-working immigrants are given the visas they (and the American economy) need, and too many criminals and terrorists are able to get in.

I’m sorry, I’m just jumping on your blog to tell you that your article on the gaming industry is possibly the worst I’ve ever read.

The fact that you don’t recognize Starship Troopers as black comedy is beyond me. Remember, this is a movie from the same guy that made Robocop. While action based, those movies are most definitely satires about a promised future.

Even if that wasn’t the case you mention that “nothing came of it after its release”, but somehow I guess you forgot the sequel, videogames and animated TV shows. Not that I’m saying either is any good, they are horrible, but they were spawns of that movie.

As for the death of the gaming industry… good god man, have you not seen the sales charts these days? While I *might* agree that their aren’t as many ideas in gaming (fellini said the same of film and then created the mockumentary) the industry isn’t going anywhere.

I’ve never seen such bad opinion by an obviously out of touch old man who misses his 286. You probably didn’t see much future in talkies when the jazz singer came out either.

Back to Post #3 here ( why is there some guy bitching about game columns in this post?)

Let me ask Mr. Mustard about this. Have you ever hired an illegal? Or know ANYTHING at all? Most crews work for CASH. Hello!!! ZIP goes into social security. These guys work cheap but they ain’t stupid!

Just to add another anecdotal jot to John’s Post #8:

Spend some time on a Friday afternoon, lurking near the Supermarket branch banks so conveniently provided by the national chains. If your town or city is anything like mine, the preponderance of folks walking up to the counter will be buying money orders with cash — to be sent back home to Durango or Chihuahua or whichever province really is home.

Yes, there are millions sitting in the SSA pool ready to be claimed. A pittance compared to the numbers stolen by the crooks in Congress and the White House to maintain everything from voodoo economics to the new Thousand-Year Reich. The solutions to that problem aren’t especially demanding and certainly don’t require SSA’s destruction through privatization to please Bush’s country club buddies.

Let’s say it, again — NO new laws are required! Employing illegals is against the law. Crossing the border without a visa is against the law. When government chooses to selectively enforce the law to benefit special interests, that’s properly termed corruption. Throw the bums out!

It is this lack of integrity that really rails average Americans on both sides of the isle. You are basically saying we should continue to allow people to break the law because it helps the economy. That’s insane. We should change the law if that is what is desired.

The problem is that illegals are costing far more than they are contributing. Remember, those costs includes things like law enforcement, education, and medical care. I’d be completely behind something that prevented the influx of illegals but increased the levels of documented immigration.

This is really much simpler than you make it out. Are we going to allow anyone to immigrate into this country? If the answer yes, then we should dismantle the border crossing as it is no longer needed. However, if we agree that there should be limits on the number of people that immigrate to the US then must also agree that one more than that number is unacceptable and must be prevented. Otherwise, the limit you set doesn’t mean anything.

One comedian suggested a lake of fire across the border. It would be both practical and a source of entertainment. Joking aside, we really equipment (walls, ultrasonic etc) that stops this type of immigration. Once we put the mechanisms in place to ensure people cannot immigrate illegally, then we should entertain talks about greatly increasing the number of immigrants allowed into the country.

There’s a shortage of North American oil refineries. I say build some big oil refineries in Mexico. There is capital for it. This would help the Mexicans who want to stay there find work and help Mexico do something more important than building Xboxes or cheap color TV sets for spoiled brats and fat slob couch potatoes. The way our corrupt system operates, they’ll want to build new refineries in the middle of Los Angeles and then import more oil from Mexico and Mexicans to work cheap. Mexico has oil and with more refineries and oil flowing into it, it could become a very wealthy nation. Who will come to California to work then? California has a large share of lazy people. The Mexicans I saw when I was there were about the only people doing any work. I’m talking work here, not running a dotcom or some other goofy new economy stuff like a search engine.

Intrsting coments. Carel Rove for Prisident 2008. Megga dittos Anthony, Arnold is have Better Deal in Kaliforua!! Terminater for VP 2008. (for the record, I’m really stoned wright now) Vote republikan!

Since Mexico wants to run a chunk of California, we have people who can go down, with a ton of money I might add, some security muscle and military if it gets real rough and run big chunks of Mexico. They’ll run it better than Fox and the Mexicans ever thought about running it. Who has time to screw around here? Mexico has one of the worst governments on the planet and they want to run an oil business. What’s that a big joke? Saudi Arabia is full of American companies. They couldn’t run the thing if American companies left. The land in Mexico is cheaper than Texas and Texas has its share of refineries. It’s business, not trust. In God we trust.

He needs to work out!

Someone who commented on Lou Dobb’s program offered a great idea:

Mexican border guards and the military types already stationed in depth behind Mexico’s northern border already do a decent job at preventing folks from entering Mexico.

Why not take about half of Bush’s budget for border security and write paychecks to the dudes already working at it in Mexico — to stop the export of illegals. They’d probably sort it out in a week or two.

How can an Mexican get Ins.without a drivers lic.
this mexican man ran a stop sign struck my car, he didn’t have US driver lic., but had Ins., his wife said he couldn’t speak english, but when the police asked him how long he had been in the usa
, he said 1yr.,his wife spoke up and said 2yr.,the mexican friend they had called spoke up and said 3mo., the policeman said that is three different stories, but he has to get a No. Carolina driver lic. by 2 months, so he put on report NO drivers lic.and failure to stop at stop sign. How did he get Ins. without a drivers lic.????
The lady at the resturant next door said this happens allmost every day .
Do you think Honor has been replaced with stupidity in DC ?????

We do have RAID 1 0 on the DB servers, a live backup running now, and have done a few other things to ensure this won�t happen again. The timing was unfortunate because things were still in transition because of the datacenter move.

Immigration is good to the econmy because Hispanic immigrants do all the work that ya lazy “legal Americans” aren’t willing to do. When you see people constructing a building- the majority o the time it is an HISPANIC. Why?? Because the whites are probably too dumb to do that kind of work. All they know is how to sit in offices. not only that, but America was created by immigrants… that’s where we get our name Amerigo Vespucci…an immigrants.!!
