I don't know anything about the site so go ahead and critique it if you can't come up with anything else to say.
She is another clueless, out of touch, career politician. Her and Hillary and McCain can all go disappear at any time.

Just trying to establish whether the video is presented in as objective way as possible.

Traditional way of life in many parts of Mexico has been replaced with survival on the streets. It's no wonder why many Mexicans are seeking to escape for a better life- left with little opportunity outside of working for the cartels or changing sheets in all-inclusive resorts.
The violence and mayhem stemming from the production and distribution of illegal drugs the US enjoys is neatly contained in Mexico with a wall and active border patrols. It's quite the arrangement.
Far fetched?
In 2010, Juarez, once a cultural beacon near the Texas border, saw 3,110 murders and has become known as 'Murder City'. Directly across the Rio Grande River, El Paso had 5 murders- and to this day is consistently ranked as one of the safest large cities in America.

Did you know that El Paso practically leads the country in total banking cash deposits... trailing only New York City?

If we stop and think about it, political boundaries really are a bit absurd. Natural geographic boundaries make a bit more sense. Historically and culturally, Pelosi might have a point. Before us Gringos came along, what is now the southwestern U.S. and Mexico were all parts of a few geographic areas inhabited by many of the same peoples. Even today, many of those places on both sides of the border are somewhat difficult to distinguish- especially were it not for large, artificial fenced boundaries. I don't recall ever hearing about any First Nations people erecting such odd structures.
Obama just asked for $2B, with a B, to take care of these people.
Did you know that somebody has to pay for that?
Peace.

Wasn't Detroit also known as USA's murder capital of the world in recent years? It sure did "die."
I realize I'm being very cynical - I've just been too nice lately in the last few days, I need to have a dirty cleanse and the PJ forum is where I chose to vent my cynicism.
I'll be well, soon. But this story was / is captivating.
Back to the party!
2010 WATCH IT GO TO FIRE!!
Happy Monday now.
Happy Monday.
And a great Monday to you as well.
B-)
Move out of your gated secure communities and live with those who cross illegally.
Happy Monday to you and all. :-)
If these were Canadian children coming from our northern borders, I wonder how upset the tea party (that is a tea partyer's web site) would be? And i watched the video and looked at the site and it is edited and designed to show untruths or twisted angles of stories. I'd gladly ponder the content presented on the website if it showed a modicum of validity. YMMV
Happy Monday from the BEACH.
Harry Reid refused to bring it to a vote.
Just so we are clear.
Who is the roadblock again?
A jobs bill is sitting in the Congress for the past several years and Boehner refuses to bring it to the floor. Why? The Congress calls for hearings about Benghazi; but refused to vote for increased spending for embassy protection. Why? Does it have anything to do with completely de-legitimatizing this President? Why? Now there are calls for impeachment. Why? Please answer those questions and then i will seriously consider the immigration bill from the 112th.
Obstructionists? The filibuster abuse in the Senate by the minority and the tea party influence on the Republican lead Congress; which is aided by the gerrymandering that Republicans did after the last census. Period.
A lot of democrats voted for that. Harry Reid refused to listen just like he refused to audit the fed when the House passed it with both parties supporting it.
Keep blaming the other side, it's really funny.
SUMMARY AS OF:
11/29/2011--Passed House amended. (There are 2 other summaries)

Fairness for High-Skilled Immigrants Act of 2011 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to: (1) eliminate the per country numerical limitation for employment-based immigrants, and (2) increase the per country numerical limitation for family based immigrants from 7% to 15% of the total number of family-sponsored visas.

But, but, but, it was Senator Grassley, REPUBLICAN of Iowa, who placed a hold on the bill, thus denying the senate the opportunity to bring it to the floor for a vote. However, Grassley and Senator Schumer resolved Grassley's differences, namely new H-1B enforcement language and Grassley released his hold. However, "other" senators, and I don't know who they are, are preparing to raise objections, thus preventing the bill from coming to the floor for a vote.

If my "history" is incorrect or I've mistakenly referenced the incorrect bill, please correct me. So, who is the roadblock?
Peace.

You don't know my political affiliation; so you wouldn't know who the 'other side' was in my case. Or maybe I don't have a 'side', just opinions on different issues which can vary along the political spectrum. I don't 'blame' political parties as a rule; however, it is pretty hard not to comprehend what has been going on ever since McConnell declared that the number one priority of the Republican Party would be to make Obama a one term President. I don't find that type of agenda to be helpful, legislative or ethical. I find it to be a declaration of obstruction.
But maybe I thought all that hopey, changey stuff might actual be good for the country. Stupid, idealistic me.
As a side note - from one of my favorite movies 1776 - John Adams: A second flood, a simple famine, plagues of locusts everywhere, or a cataclysmic earthquake, I'd accept with some despair. But no, You sent us Congress! Good God, Sir, was that fair?
Harry Reid is the roadblock. He never brought it to a vote because it didn't give blanket amnesty. The Democrats refuse to pass anything that doesn't have full amnesty for illegal aliens.
Details are important.
Harry Reid was also the roadblock on Audit the Fed, another bipartisan bill that he wouldn't bring to a vote.
My entire point was that both sides throw up their roadblocks.
As to immigration we do have to be practical and that doesn't include open boarders as much as that sounds all wonderful.
It kills me when people blame the illegals. They have cajones risking life and limb coming here. Great workers we need to feed our economy. Also all my republican friends that are anti wetback have them cut their grass and build their homes. If we don't hire they would not come.
1. Enforce the border.
2. Jail employers that hire them.
Problem solved.
Of course it won't happen because another bipartisan thing is that people like cheap labor, just like why they shop at Wal-Mart.
