Immigration officers were in Havasu. Scarce work force in some areas.

 

Yeah, LtR450 woke up A dieing thread. Are you Riding here in Vegas? If so where at? As for winning money, Invest it anywhere but the casino's. See the show's, enjoy the cheap good meals, But stay away from the machine's and table's. Vegas wasen't built on winner's.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] That would be my best advice on how to win money.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]

 

we just hit the local pubs and video poker over by Summerlin. Lots of fun with the locals. Cheap food and free beer, Viva Las Vegas, baby!

 

Well next time you come to Vegas bring your Quad's. P.M. me and we can hit Amergossa or nellis, Or maybe logandale. Depends on what kind of riding you like to do. It' getting A little hot here to. Be better toward's the fall. Oh smart man sound's like you do Vegas right.

 

OneFlyCowboy earlier said we should just annex Mexico. Actually, one of the leftie's arguments on this is that we "took" Texas, California, New Mexico and other areas from the Mexicans in the 1800's. Actually, that was the best thing we could have done for them, we didn't kick the Mexicans out, we just made those area's US territory. Now it's in prosperity rather than Mexican corruption, chaos and poverty.

Now we need to just take over the rest, which would be the nicest thing we could do for the Mexicans. That country should be richer than even ours, with two beautiful coastlines, lots of oil, agriculture, and tourism. Then we just have that little central american border to worry about, and a few guys with long range rifles can take care of that one.

 

Shady Rascal, I agree with you when you say they should be richer then us. However as the U.S.A. they to are holding back on their resorces. The U.S. has those same resources at their fingertip's. But doe's not let them be used inorder for free trade to be used. This free trade Hold's back the progress of american farmer's. Rancher's and independen't bussiness owner's. This country is run on money, And whatever it take's to feed the corporation's greed then that is what this Gov. will do. We are in A war in Iraq lossing live's daily. When the original war was with Bin Ladden and his follower's. We had him in Afganistan and instead of going to get him ourselves they sent insurgent's in to get him. Why? To insure that he escaped. That way it gave the U.S. an open ticket to go anywhere they wanted useing the We beleave Bin Ladden is there. And they are supporting him. This war is going to cost are GREAT, GREAT grandchildern A lot of hardship in paying for it. All for the Bush revenge because Saddaum made A fool of his father when they found no weapon's of mass distruction back then. Now you want to take on Mexico, And take it over. Let's clean up our own countries neglect before we take over the world. No hard feeling's just my way of thinking. P.S. I do support our troop's. But not the war. Or any other force our way war's in the future.

 

I LOVE this one, I never get tired of hearing it. I hear the Liberals and Democratic bomb throwers use it for their go to talking point on a regular basis.

Two things. One, there was NEVER any PROOF that Bin Laden was even There. Two, if you go "Hunting" in another mans yard, you will have better results if take that man with you. Meaning, the Afghanis were better equipped to conduct an operation in their yard.

The world and the liberal Democrats were B!tching left and right about us not getting other members of the "Coalition" involved to make it a truly multi national force. Then when Military Leaders on the ground, sent in the BEST suited fighters to check out reports that Bin Laden was hiding in the hills, Bush was criticized for doing EXACTLY what his critics were telling him to do.

Ironic how those same Liberal Democrats are the force behind trying to rush the training of Iraqi forces to get our guys out before the Iraqi's are ready. In one instance they didn't want the local forces doing the job and now they do.

There is no shortage of Conspiracy theories out there and the world is full of Armchair war critics [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

OH...... Don't forget the one about G.W. Bush blowing up the Towers and Pentagon........ And that whole "He did it for the oil." seems to be working pretty good so far Huh. $3.19 (And rising) a gallon for Reg....... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]


Now back to the topic.

The trouble is that the Mexican Government is Corrupt BIG TIME!!!! However, it is easier to B!tch about everything here than it is to get thrown in jail for protesting about the corruption there.

 

English voted ‘national’ language
Senate vote part of conservative turn on immigration

WASHINGTON – The Senate voted on Thursday to make English the “national language” of the United States, declaring that no one has a right to federal communications or services in languages other than English except for those already guaranteed by law.

The measure, approved by a vote of 63-34, directs the government to “preserve and enhance” the role of English, without altering current laws that require some government documents and services be provided in other languages. Opponents, however, said it could negate executive orders, regulations, civil service guidances and other multi-lingual ordinances not officially sanctioned by acts of Congress.

The vote came hours after President Bush, who visited the border town of Yuma, Ariz., asked Congress to approve a $1.95 billion budget request to deploy National Guard troops and 1,000 additional enforcement agents to the U.S.-Mexico border and, for the first time, endorsed the construction of 370 miles of southern border fences to cut down on illegal immigration.

White House officials were lobbying Thursday night to secure passage of an amendment that would block eventual citizenship for future immigrants that arrive under a temporary work permit, an amendment that immigrant rights groups say would destroy the fragile coalition backing the Senate bill.

The actions, both on and off the Senate floor, continued the conservative turn that a major overhaul of the nation’s immigration legislation has taken since the Senate began debate this week.

The comprehensive legislation would strengthen border security, allow illegal immigrants who have been in the country five years or more to remain and eventually become citizens and creates a special guest worker program.

With approval of a triple-layered border fence Wednesday and Thursday’s English-language amendment, Republicans say the bill is tougher than the original version and comes closer to what is needed to satisfy many conservatives.

Immigrants-rights groups say their support is teetering.

“This is devastating,” said Raul Gonzalez, legislative director of the National Council of La Raza, after the English-language vote. “For us, this is a tough issue to bring back to the community.”

Only nine Senate Democrats voted for the amendment and one Republican, Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., voted against it.

The effectof the Senate language amendment was unclear even after its passage. The language negating claims to multi-lingual services appears straightforward. It also sets requirements that immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship know the English language and U.S. history.

The amendment would require more thorough testing to demonstrate English-language proficiency and knowledge of U.S. history and customs like the Pledge of Allegiance and national anthem.

Its author, Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., made two last-minute changes that some opponents said would water down its effect significantly. By stipulating that the English-only mandates could not negate existing laws, Inhofe spared current ordinances that allow bilingual education or multi-lingual ballots. And by changing the amendment to label English the “national language” rather than the “official language” of the country, Inhofe may have lessened its symbolic power.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., called the amendment “racist,” while Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., dismissed it as divisive and anti-American.

Further complicating the picture, moments after approving the Inhofe amendment, the Senate voted 58 to 39 to approve a competing amendment by Salazar declaring English the “common unifying language of the United States” but mandating that nothing in that declaration “shall diminish or expand any existing rights” regarding multi-lingual services.

Senators said the conflict will have to be worked out in negotiations with the House.

 

RPM, Your comment's are pretty typical. for A corporate person. When hit A nearve attack. So From what your saying is that we must have used the same intelagance to go after Bin Ladden, as we did that Iraq had weapon's of mass destruction. No wonder we are where were at now.
