Cross the North Korean border illegally you get 12 years hard labor.
If you cross the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely.
If you cross the Afghan border illegally, you get shot.
If you cross the Saudi Arabian border illegally you will be jailed.
If you cross the Chinese border illegally you may never be heard from again.
If you cross the Venezuelan border illegally you will be branded a spy and your fate will be sealed.
If you cross the Mexican border illegally you will be jailed for two years.
If you cross the Cuban border illegally you will be thrown into political prison to rot.
If you cross the United States border illegally you get:
1 - A job
2 - A driver's license (In some states)
3 - A Social Security card (I'm not so sure about that)
4 - Welfare
5 - Food stamps
6 - Credit cards (not so sure about that either)
7 - Subsidized rent or a loan to buy a house (many citizens can't get a loan to by a house, so I pretty much don't agree with the original writer of this statement on the house buying thing)
8 - Free education
9 - Free health care
10 - A lobbyist in Washington
11 - Billions of dollars in public documents printed in your language
12 - Millions of servicemen and women who are willing to – and do – die for your right to the ways and means of our constitution
13 - And the right to carry the flag of your country - the one you walked out on – while you call America racist and protest that you don't get enough respect.
And today, as I was checking out different news sites about today's news...I see a picture of a group of Mexican protesters holding up large crucifixes and pictures of the painting..."Our Lady of Guadaloupe"....WHAT does religion have to do with ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS??????
And the protesters holding up signs saying "I'm not going to Live in Fear"....If you are a citizen, if you are LEGALLY in this country...WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO FEAR??
If they would only listen honestly to themselves.....they would see some lack of intelligence.
Number 13 above says it all for me.

Rant for the Day
What is wrong with the people who are AGAINST the State of Arizona checking for illegals? WHY IS THAT A PROBLEM???????
The key word, ILLEGAL......how can checking ANYONE's identity be a problem? We have to prove who we are at a branch of our bank that we don't normally deal with. We have to have a driver's license and we HAVE to show it to a policeman if he stops us in our car. And here, I'm gonna say it. Maybe a little profiling would have saved the 3.000 souls who died in the Twin Towers, those the died at the Pentagon and those that were brave enough to try to take over the plane that crashed in Pa.
Oh, I love the whole "but we need the illegals to pick the peppers!!!! Americans won't do it". THEY CAN PICK ANYTHING THEY WANT and be LEGAL. OH that just really gets me going.
Does anyone remember those in high school who went to North Carolina for the summer to pick tobacco? I am quite sure that wasn't and easy job. Trust me, there are people without jobs right now in 2010 who would be happy to pick a pepper or two.
Read the 14th Amendment.......Emphasis on CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES. How can it be unconstitutional if the are ILLEGAL ?????
Am I losing my mind?

Listening to Radio
I am slowly becoming my mother. Oh, of course I knew this would happen sooner or later. I was just hoping for later.
I started listening to radio talk shows. The only good radio talk shows are on two channels here in the Detroit area. WJR in Detroit and CKLW in Canada. WJR is a conservative radio station. I wish there were a liberal radio station with the same megahertz power of WJR as I would like to hear both sides of the issues.
This way I get confused as to whether I am a conservative or a liberal. Am I a Republican or a Democrat? I don't want to be either. I hate the fact that if you are one or the other, you have to "think" like "they" do. Hold the party line.
Let's see. I believe in the constitution. But do I believe in it literally? Not quite sure.
I believe in Freedom of Speech. But I don't believe that it means that people can spout off any word in front of me or my children or grandchildren. I don't think they have that right. I believe that Freedom of Speech has to do with Freedom of the Press...not the freedom to slander.
I think we have plenty of Freedom of Speech. Just listen to the talk shows on WJR. Rush Limbaugh(I think that is the right spelling), Sean Hannity and Mark Levin. Especially Mark Levin. He has some ripe opinions sometimes.
I believe in the Right to Bear Arms, though I don't own a gun and wouldn't. If an intruder came into my home, it would be more likely that he would use it to shoot me than me shooting him. And just yesterday, a police officer was gunned down in Taylor Michigan while talking to a suspect. The officer, married with two young children, died. The gunman was shot by the officer's partner. The gunman survived. But then again, if we made owning guns criminal, only criminals would have guns.
It says the right to bear arms to form a militia...yet anyone associated with being in a militia is considered to be against ANY form of government. I'm confused.
I am Pro-Choice. I believe that welfare shouldn't be necessary because if all religious organizations did what they are supposed to do, there would be no need for welfare. How is it that the Vatican is so extremely wealthy. Vow of Poverty? Where?
I am an atheist. I believe in evolution. (Things I am sure would shock my child and grandchildren) But my life became so unburdened when I finally admitted that I do not believe in a god. Nor do I believe in a devil. I believe in Right and Wrong. I believe in Good and Evil. In humanity. Because that is just the way it is. I'm not a Pagan because I don't believe in their many gods and goddesses. I am not a witch because I don't believe in their gods/goddesses either. So I must be an atheist. And I'm okay with that.
I love nature. I love animals of all kinds, especially spiders. LOL.
The basics of who I am and I'm not done finding out what more there is to me. I will soon be 60. An age I never could imagine being. Yet, here I am.
