In article , Larry Jaques says...

Uh, Jim. I wasn't standing up for Wally World. I was ranting
about our government chasing the wrong bad guys. Crikey, they
need to find at least SOME sense of what our priorities are.

Ah. I thought you were saying that the government
should allow them free rein to hire illegals, and
not prosecute. I think they should have their feet
held to the fire, if it's shown that they knew
what was going on.

Yes, but to waste tens (hundreds?) of thousands of man hours
and dollars to prove that illegals were hired does noone any
good. The JD wasted all that manpower instead of doing something
meaningful. Some of us in CA (way back when) voted for the laws
which said we shouldn't have to overburden our schools with
children of people who shouldn't be here in the first place. (The
kids should have been in their own country's schools.) It passed
but was immediately thrown out by court appeal. Ditto the hospital
emergency room where kids with colds and flu were brought on a daily
basis. The State (OK, we taxpayers got reamed for it) paid for all
that when the Feds should have been deporting any illegals
immediately. Why do we have all these UNENFORCED laws?
/rhetorical Q The feds ought to put up or shut up.

(And don't get me started about the taxpayers paying for voter's
information pamphlets and ballots in TWENTY EIGHT DIFFERENT
LANGUAGES. Only in California?) I'm happy to be a new Webfoot.


Ah but then we'd have another bunch of out of work
whiners, and we'd have to pay *them* welfare.

Couldn't they just start working for a -working- INS?


If the gov't stopped funding elections and used public pots
(donations anonymous) which were distributed evenly to each
eligible delegate...

Umm. OK, I think I get where you're headed on this.
I don't think there will be much dissent here!

I don't want to sound like a Socialist, but some of their
ideas might work well to remove the corruption from the
election system. Also, wouldn't it be nice to limit all
campaigning to TWO WEEKS prior to each vote? I think Europe
has something to that effect. They're out there buying votes
for a minimum of two years now, as things stand in the system
today. tearful sigh
