It's really quite simple, in my opinion, and I've said it before...it's time to annex Mexico, clean up the mess, giving them the option of becoming a territory (like Puerto Rico) or a part of the United States.  Far too many of their citizens are here illegally already anyway, and the rest want open borders...so lets give it to them.  The difference being, of course, that ALL of them would now have to live under our laws, our taxes, and our culture, including rights of women and children.  Moving our war against drugs to its primary source, or at least path (Mexico), would also be a plus.  I doubt that the greatest majority of Mexican citizens would object, especially the honest members of the police and military.  It would be a MUCH more logical use of our troops for both military action and occupation than Iraq.</description>

		<description>That is how it’s done in the 3rd world. I recall reading about a big Mexico to America dope running investigation in Cali. back in the early 80's. After many months the investigation kept getting bigger and bigger with an incredible scope of operation never conceived before. Eventually the feds shut it down and went with what they had. The reason? It was due to the fact that if the investigation continued it would go all the way the top, the very top, of the Mexican government. They feared a full collapse of the government and total kayos down there. Looks like their decision only delayed it 20 years or so.</description>

		<description>Johnson,
I for one think we need to build the fence and guard it with armed soldiers and build a moat  fill it with alligators and then put up barbed wire fence and after that land mines. (I am being a little sarcastic but my gosh didn't we send a man to the moon and build the hoover dam)  Our country is bad enough with the gangs and street violence.  We don't need anymore of it.  
The Mexican government seems to be the problem.  I don't know a lot about Mexico (I have never been there and don't ever plan on going)  but it seems that with all of there oil and agriculture and resorts that they should have more than enough work for their people.  The same goes for most of the southern hemisphere.  We worry about liberating Iraq and Afghanistan and when it comes to our neighbors our solution is NAFTA.   Maybe we should liberate the Mexicans, give them some hope.  I know we never will but my gosh it would be the right thing to do.  Then they would stay home because they would have a future there. 
On the other hand they need to stand up for themselves like our country did during the revolutionary war.</description>

Just a hop, skip and a jump away, folks. This is the culture that the apologists want us to encourage.</description>

		<description>Judging from Kalifornia's latest decision, I'd suggest giving the entire state back to Mexico. The only useful place we'd lose is the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach. The population is working poor 95%/Upper middle class 5%. It's already demographically Mexican/third world. No great loss.</description>

		<description>Vigilant,

Normally, I would agree with you....but we clearly do not own the western "half" of the United States anymore.  I don't even consider Mexifornia a state anymore.  I would advocate for its establishment as a separate country and not allow one more taxpayer dime to enter that area.</description>

Gee, that's twice you have been correct.  Those were honorable men that died at the Alamo and NEVER should be forgotten.</description>

You are correct and that is why we now own the western half of the United States and not Mexico.  You won the Alamo but lost the war!</description>

		<description>The national ID is right out of 1984. Not to mention going through each state DMV instead of a federally run facility, they have managed to 1. Violate the constitution i.e. states rights among other things 2. Pass a huge percentage of cost to each state. 3. penalize the people and state governments who oppose it by restricting access to many things such as entrance to any federal building, use the air port, collect your S.S. benefits, fire arms purchase....the list goes on. Did anyone say, New World Order?</description>

		<description>I could remember somewhere reading that they're pushing for partial implementation by 2011 and full by 2017.

I hope that Virginia fights it but I think it's down to a few states that are fighting it.  Virginia DMV is still trying to examine the costs for implementation to the taxpayer.

The idea of a national ID card with information shared with Mexico is idiotic to the extreme and will not fight terrorism one bit.</description>

Thanks for the info reb.

 This brings up a question. With the forthcoming REAL I.D. program, will these new systems be replaced? From what I have read the billions spent on compliance with this adventure would duplicate the efforts of these other programs. Has anyone from the non compliant states been denied access to air travel yet? I understand the enforcement date started May 15.</description>

		<description>The law is fine.  Since your hubby has an out of state license the system worked and blocked the sale to an out of state resident.  Since you are a legal alien and you proved that you have residency in Virginia you were allowed to purchase.  I'm assuming you either kept your FL ID and didn't show it or you just obtained a VADL and only had to show a utility bill or something akin to that.

My guess is that your husband wants to keep his FL ID for tax purposes or because he hasn't been able to get a VA DL?  Once he gets the VADL he'll be fine.  Even if not, he can still purchase legally (for example a FFL transfer).  Since you're husband and wife if you share the weapons you can purchase them and both of ya can use them.  In Virginia, weapons are not registered so it won't be a 'straw-man purchase'.  And, even then you can just buy it and gift it to him since you know he's not a felon.

As for driving the scooter, thats a base req.  So, that comparison isn't fair.  Because if you lived on your own property you could drive that scooter on your own roads/driveways without an operators license or insurance - and yes without training.</description>

		<description>Lefty,
Same same here for the SKS.  "I" have about 500 rounds of Wolf 123 grain jacketed hollow point, so "I" think I'm good on that front for "emergencies".

The other two?  Apparently I will soon be the proud owner of a 12 gauge short barrel and a HK, which is on back order.

It's pretty silly, tho.  One would think that if there are going to be "rules" about who gets to buy guns, the rules should at least make sense and be practical.

So I can buy and own guns without having to take any training/safety/proficiency course, but my 250 cc Piaggio scooter, I have to take a week long motorcycle safety/proficiency course before they will let me drive it on base from my house to the commissary and back.
Yep, makes perfect sense to me.</description>

		<description>USMC wife:  Who gets the other two?  I also own an SKS and use Rusky Wolf brand ammo.  Shoots right thru 1/4" homogeneous steel plates.  I highly recommend it for home defense.</description>

		<description>Oh, and regarding the Feinstein attachment --
dear Husband is currently stationed in the Salinas valley area and I can assure all of you that there are NO crops wasting on the vine and NO shortage of labor.  

But Salinas did have 4 drive by shootings (in broad daylight) in one day, and two murders two days apart, bringing the total for this year to 12.
(Pretty impressive for a city with a population of only 38,000!!) and an out of control gang problem.

But they are in NO WAY CONNECTED to the unlimited number of undocumented field hands in the "salad bowl of the world". No! No! No!
To make that connection would be "bigoted" and "unfair".

So made some calls to Feinstein and Boxer, as well as our VA senators.  I will call again next week and hope that there are enough sane people who will ensure that it is stripped from the bill on the vote on Wed.

But, based on the antics on the House side of Congress, who knows what's going to happen?</description>

		<description>A few comments on all of above:
1.  I have picked up a rifle once in my life -- when my Marine husband thought it would be "fun" to go to a rifle range as a date.  Took one shot and handed it back to him.
2.  Marine husband returns home from Iraq, I want to buy a Czech SKS for him from local gun store, has original factory testing book and a cool grenade launcher attachment.
2.  Gun store owner informs me that my Marine husband, (who is a FL resident for military home of record and carries a FL DL) is prohibited from buying or owning guns in VA.  However, moi, non-citizen, green card holder, can buy up to 3!  The fact that I don't have a clue and would be extremely dangerous with ANYTHING in the store doesn't matter.

Our gun laws here are seriously messed up.  We'll deny a real professional the right to buy arms but allow an untrained neophyte as many cookies from the jar as she wants.</description>

		<description>The Truth said on 16 May 2008 at 11:48 am:

"Everyone at the Alamo was wiped out."

Take a look at what happened at the Battle of San Jacinto.  Then look what happened the next day. 

Sen. Frankenstein  and ilk really cared for the American people they would close the border. Which would force "big agriculture" to pay decent wages and hire Americans.  We have about 5% unemployment in this country, seems to me we could lower that number if when you went to collect benefits and they told you okay "but after a few months if you don't find work we ship you to a farm in California and you have to pick berries."  (still collecting unemployment of course)  I bet you would see the unemployment numbers drop significantly more.  Think of all the entrepreneurs the government would create by doing that.  It would also encourage people to save for a rainy day.  My gosh government not baby sitting the people what a novel idea.</description>
