In addition to the successful rally, many signatures were gathered for a ballot measure that is being put forth to deny illegal aliens drivers licenses and government services"

I have NEVER been able to understand why the above ballot measure should even be necessary.

For those who have created the reason for this
I wonder what part of the concept

ILLEGAL

Do they fail to understand?

I hear ya Dan.

It is because of groups who play the race card. They are just hoping they can keep the charade up long enough that there are too many illegals in the country to actually do anything about.

In these overly PC times most politicians don't want to touch the issue either and just let it continue, even with the threats of terrorism and the costs we incur for the health and education for those who aren't contributing to the system.

There are already laws on the books, they just aren't being enforced.

Not to argue with the point of the article, but... I'm bothered by the assumption that every Hispanic in the third photo is an illegal alien. Isn't that tantamount to assuming every Black male in Watts is a gang member? The odds may be likely, but they aren't certain.

Well Gus if you went to Watts and went to a known gang hangout. It MIGHT be true that anyone individual pointed out would not be a gangmember but not that likely.

I suppose you support random airport searches of 90 year old greyheaded little scandavian ladies to avoid the HORRORS of doing searches on people similair to those who carry out terrorist attacks? ;-)

Actually, Dan, I do support random searches of little old Scandanavian ladies in airports, for one simple reason: If I were a terror organizer looking for my next operative, that's who I'd recruit. After all, who would suspect a little old Scandanavian lady of being a homicide bomber?

Now that's just ridiculous. Fact of the matter is if it were people matching my description that were doing these things I would find no offense in being singled out. The only people who have a problem with this are people who are sympathetic to the terrorists.

Good luck trying to find a little old Scandanavian lady that would do such a horrendous thing. If it happened then it would make sense to screen them as well. Screening those who have not proven to be a threat in the past is ridiculous and takes away resources from a statistically more threatening set of people from a certain region.

Are we living in caveman times here before statistics were invented?

If there's a serial killer leaving staged atrocities for police to find I doubt you'd find white men in the area that were in their 30's being up in arms at being questioned since that is the general profile of a serial killer. Sure, there's exceptions, but when 99 times it's a white guy in his 30's and 1 time it was a black male in his 30's which are you going to be looking for first?

"Are we living in caveman times here before statistics were invented?" Perhaps not, but your open reliance on statistics will be just another advantage to those who would destroy us and our freedoms.

What a fine looking bunch of white people.

"It's time to get angry!" Like the laws of supply and demand gives a shit whether a bunch of fattened white people are angry or not.
