Well this has spurred me to do some research. I put down "no" to the question on my AOS about committing a crime for which I was not arrested.

Apparently that was correct. My staying in the US for several months longer than Canadians are allowed to, is considered a "civil infraction", not a criminal offence. Anyway, that's nice to know.

I wouldn't even have to face a bar if I decided to leave today, because I wasn't given a definite departure date when I entered.

But if every law was changed by working from the outside in, we wouldn't have civil rights laws, women wouldn't be voting, etc. All of these significant changes were made after people made huge sacrifices, physically (including death), mentally, emotionally to show the injustice of the laws they didn't agree with.
The survival of the American republic, Hamilton maintained, depends upon "the preservation of a national spirit and a national character.” "To admit foreigners indiscriminately to the rights of citizens, the moment they foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.”

We are not a nation of immigrants. We are first and foremost a nation of laws. The U.S. Constitution does not say that the paramount duty of government is to “Celebrate Diversity” or to “embrace multiculturalism” or to give “every willing worker” in the world a job. The Premable to the U.S. Constitution says the Constitution was established “to provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.”

As our founding fathers recognized, fulfilling these fundamental duties is impossible without an orderly immigration and entrance system that discriminates in favor of those willing, as George Washington put it, to “get assimilated to our customs, measures, [and] laws.”

I think this issue is too often overlooked when discussing illegal immigration. It seems that many people see it as a black and white issue. Are you here illegally? Yes, then you're a criminal.

If the law is not applied fairly, then to me, someone's status as a "criminal" is very misleading.

then just what politically correct term would you like to see used for someone who is here illegally? :huh:

Why is politically correct such a disgusting concept?

It's not honest. Would you be happy if your spouse was dishonest?

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

What do you mean it's not honest? In order to be honest, I have to be blunt and offensive? Not everyone values those things.

Saying mentally handicapped instead of retarded is not honest?

This is about as trustworthy as the original website the original topic of this thread was posted from. Anyone can take anyone's words and spin them how they choose, especially when they take bits & pieces to do so, especially out of context.

How can one claim God cares to judge a fornicator over judging a lying, conniving bully? I guess you would if you are the lying, conniving bully.

"poisoned by a jew" sounds like a Borat song

If you bring up the truth, you're a PSYCHOPATH, life lesson #442.

What's wrong with just retarded? Political correctness tries to turn everyday words into offensive words. When will it stop? We still need to be civil to each other.

Who are you to judge what shouldn't be offensive? Are *you* mentally handicapped?

Common sense is a good judge of what's offensive and what's not.

Replacing a word with a synonym to make it "less offensive" is idiotic.

Are you assuming everyone has that?

LOL. That worked out nicely for me. But seriously, what I mean is that I don't understand telling people how to feel. As a non-mentally handicapped person, I don't feel that I have the right to tell one that he shouldn't be offended when I call him a retard.
