1. Heil Hitler

this are the same kinds of policies practiced by Germans in the 1930s.

[stepnw1f]

31. yup... my mother mentioned that to me

she said. Watch... first they go for groups of people with no power and who look like they may be a threat or just look different, which for your average mouth-breather is a threat.

[NI4NI]

2. So much for cancervatives and "family values"

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. This must be one of the most obscene things I've seen in a while. eom

[izzie]

4. I do not know how to

I think the child should go home with the parents. At 21 let them re-use their birth to come into the US or some thing like that. I think people should be able to come in but it should be in some order. We have a mess now and no one is sticking to the rules. Heck I have to stick to the rules just to get into my car this morning and go some place. Why are these people better than me? I even had to find my kids Birth record a few months ago so he could get a job.

[nadinbrzezinski]

6. Why NIOT fine the employeers to the tune

of 10K each.. care to tell me how fast the economic magnet would be gone? Try to run on this in the central valley of California...

[hogwyld]

12. Awwww, come on

Don't you know rules were meant to be broken???:sarcasm:

[magnolia]

25. booo hooo....

"Heck I have to stick to the rules just to get into my car this morning and go some place. "

Yeah right...as soon as you go over the speed limit a policmen stops you immediately and issues you a ticket!

Some people speed every single day, every time they get into their car, yet never get caught. Speeding is the primary cause of fatal accidents.
And then there are those who drink and drive and never get caught. It's not as simple as "you do the crime, you do the time". Getting away with murder starts at the very top of the food chain...with this administration.

The illegal immigration situation is not black and white. They broke the law and many people looked the other way. It has to be dealt with based on what it is today.

Let's say you got stopped for speeding on Monday and the cop decided to not give you a ticket. Then he catches you speeding again on Friday. He can give you a ticket for Friday, but can't decide then to give you a ticket for Monday...that's over and done.

[izzie]

26. That is just one of the rules.

How about the contract to buy the car, get insurance so I can get it on the road, plates from the town and state to keep it on the road,and some common rules just to drive 5 miles. Give me a brake. I do not speed for one thing I hate to get a ticket as my ins. goes up and it is so wasteful to spend the money on such things. Once is years and years of driving I have had a ticket that I had to pay money for. It is really a thing with me.

[treestar]

30. There are too many rules. We are rule-happy in this society

We need to get a grip. Gimme a break.

[izzie]

34. It is the society we picked to live in

I will say that trying to call any place brings tears to my eyes and doing any banking is almost as bad but what can I do? I keep getting rid of stuff I can not take any more but some one is always wanting a job so finds ways to get into my life even more. Many of the things I like. My car last longer than my father's did. Food is better and all types all times of the year. TV is fun and the PC is wild. I frankly would not wish to go back wards but some times the rules can be a pain. I think I will take some of the rules, if put in to holding down corp. foolishness which makes up to many of these rules now. The Gov. works to much for them and not enough for the people. Going to be pretty wild if we really get 75 million people in from Mex. and we have to pay for their SS and health care. What are they thinking in Congress? How can we pay for it? We already have rules on the books so this will not happen. I guess it is oe of those laws Bush does not like so?????????

[treestar]

29. But the law they broke is not as serious as speeding - when you

think about it. And the courts have called it civil and it is treated as a civil violation.

It is a matter of perspective.

And for people to worry about this now, the terrorists must all be dead.

[Vidar]

5. done

[Epiphany4z]

7. dam

that is just messed up...looks like the everything is the brown mans fault campaign is really working.

wow I am just amazed that many people feel that something like that is a good idea...so much for family values hu...

[Boone]

8. A burp from the story...

"...About 2 million families face the risk of being split up because the children are U.S.-born citizens but the parents are illegal immigrants. At least one lawmaker has proposed ending citizenship by birthright, restricting automatic citizenship at birth to children of U.S. citizens and legal residents..."

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12921113/

[liberal N proud]

9. ending citizenship by birthright? Make children with no country

What idiots

[donheld]

10. NO NO NO 1000 times NO

I'd rather die than say yes.

[Boone]

11. It's getting worse!

OMG!! It's getting worse!

13. Boone, it's 50/50 now, and I agree. What is wrong with people?

Welcome to DU; we might/could turn this around.

[Boone]

16. Thanks Babylonsister!

I've been lurking a bit and don't usually post, finally got some balls on this AM ;)

I hope we turn it around, I just can't believe ANYbody would think that this is a good idea!

[rman]

14. why the F* would anyone even think about doing that?

'separating illegal immigrant parents from their U.S.-born children'

Who comes up with this shit?

[Justice]

15. So Abortion Bad, But Peeling Kids from Parents is Good? Huh?

This reinforces my view that RWers want babies to be born, but once they are born, they are all done with ya' and your baby.

[annabanana]

17. good god.... 50/50?. . Do these people HAVE families?

What kind of beast would advocate this?

[Boone]

18. Kick... nt

[Catchawave]

19. 50-50 now.

Most.Disturbing.Poll.Ever !
(not you OP!)


Who are those freaks voting Yes!? And what,"pray tell", are we going to do with all the orphans?

[CTyankee]

20. Ah, they are slaves, right?

In the antebellum South slaves' children were often sold away from their parents. This is the mindset going on here, IMO. We need 'em to work as virtual slaves, nothing else.

Appalling, chilling, evil to the bone.

[in_cog_ni_to]

21. sick bastards 50%yes 50% no They really are incapable of

putting themselves in other's shoes, aren't they? They need to ask themselves how THEY would feel being separated from THEIR babies! UNFREAKIN'BELIEVABLE!

Grrrrrr..........

[displacedtexan]

24. Have we learned nothing from history?

From my blog:

To make concentration camps acceptable to the populace, Jews in Germany were branded as criminals, Asians in Australia were branded as criminals, and immigrants in the US are now being branded as criminals...

Halliburton is building the camps. On American soil.

Have we learned nothing from history?

[ourbluenation]

27. 51% Yes 49% no Wow!!!!! People are heartless...

[leftofthedial]

28. it's now 51% split family

[Ms. Toad]

32. That's family values for you...

value the family as long as the family is white, straight, and all of its members had the forethought to be born in the US.

[Nikki Stone1]

33. Those who answered YES: Are they planning to adopt all these kids?

Or just put them into the system? Group homes?

And are they willing to pay for it?

This is where freepers are so woefully inconsistent!

Well, one of many places.
