Action required! Call first thing Thursday AM !!

I enjoy ckm and archers view points, and they are in agreement with mine. Both are socialists and good ones...obama is good for america, why you republicans cannot see that strains me..

Is the military planning on lowering standards to enlist? And who will police this? Will schools be required to report dropouts so that they can be deported? How many illegals really care about becoming American citizens? There's such an attitude of entitlement! When they raise their flags over ours, whose country are they really loyal to? What a mess we'll be leaving for future American generations. I'm with BearMtn...bless the bus and ship 'em home! Secure the borders and make them come over legally.

Do you climb towers?

Not any more. I tried to change my nic at a couple of other sites when I quit climbing, but everyone complained so I still go by that.

The left would have just aborted them.

The only problem there is that you still have to be a HS graduate or at least pass the GED in order to enlist.

One of many problems. Of the students who do graduate from inner city high schools, many will not get a qualifying score on the ASVAB.

BTW, NPR says the DREAM act will not get through the Senate, more filibuster action.

Maybe recraft the bill next session to only include the military path to citizenship?

So perhaps we should make all students pay the higher rate just because a FEW children of illegal immigrants get the in state rate. Those children are legal citizens if they were born here, just like my children or yours.

Isn't the punish all attitude the government way?

Agreed with Neptune. Tell me, you want to hand a gun to the boy or girl who can't even manage to get the minimum of 31 points on the ASVAB? You trust your safety to that?
