   The decent hardworking citizens of this country have been betrayed. A nation that cannot control it’s borders is a PLACE, not a nation. Whats the use anyway, the great country I grew up in as a kid is disappearing right before my eyes. I feel like a stranger in a strange land. John Ansell, if you are reading, I’m right there with ya, I’m so mad I could throw something.

   See if they had been afforded the oppertunity to get a drivers license then they would have been better drivers. Not haveing to worry about out running those mean nasty police. Then they could purchase a handgun legally and shoot some citizen.

   See the logic. Drivers license equates to better driver, drivers license equates to being a good citizen and being a good shot as well.

   The only way I see the politicians and idiots that support an open boarder is when some tradgedy happens to them and opens their eyes as to what is happening. A sad comment but the way I see it.

   This is why we need to give undocumented workers the opportunity to receive a legal driver’s license: they’re going to come here and drive anyways, so the best way to ensure that they’re learning the rules of the road and being responsible drivers is to open up the process to them.

   We should also recognize their right to vote, sell drugs, molest children and steal, because they’re going to do that sh*t, too.

   We’ll never get them to come out of the shadows if we don’t start recognizing their God-given rights.

   Come on people now: smile on your brother. Everybody get together, learn to love one another right now.

   Peace, love, dope.

   The ugly truth about drivers license has it’s roots with Bill Clinton. “Motor Voter Registration”. It is all about getting the fraudulent votes.
   I came here with my German drivers license (Lived in Germany 1987-2006, US Army) and was allowed to use this until I renewed my stateside license.
   How many illegals actually ever had a license in their native land?

   Getting a license in Germany, if you are good and pass everything (Written, Theory, Driving) on your first or 2nd try, it will cost you around 1500euro ($2000+). This is why many might want to take advantage of our nominal fees for licensing here in America.

   If all these illegals are “in the shadows” why is it I see them everywhere by the hundreds, sometimes thousands? They are in the stores, on the streets, on TV complaining about being mistreated, demanding their rights, etc, etc. I admit a few that I think are illegal could actually be legal. That is a fairly remote possiblity however.

    You watched the local CBS affiliate and saw no mention of the illegal alien status in the story, I watched the local NBC station and also saw no mention of the immigration status in the story. Its crazy, they want to ignore it? The only place I’ve heard of it is KTLK Talk Radio, and Fox Ch 9.

    Both of our Senators were at the service last night. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) has voted with the open borders crowd every time. She deserves an email making her aware of how her votes harm people.

    Unfortunately, unless we actually do something to secure our border, deportation makes about as much sense as buying them a round-trip ticket so they can enjoy a little vacation before coming back.

    All they have to do is turn around and come back until they get through again.

    Maybe we should have a department of de’ fence?

    Prayers are all we can offer those who suffer even more than our economy by the lack of action from our politicians unfortunately.

    I think some of the things I would be seeking would be
    1. Who owned the minivan? If she doesn’t then who does and who gave it to her? Sue them.
    2. Was it the illegal’s and how did she pay for it?
    3. Did she get a loan for the minivan? How?
    4. Did she have it register and license and if so, how?
    5. Was it insured, if so, how?
    6. She had an alias, why?
    7. Is Minnesota a no fault insurance state?
    These would also be some of the questions I would want to be answered in order to pursue a law suit along with the other questions asked here.
    If illegals can get a loan for an automobile to drive here in the U.S. then the laws should be changed. If the papers for the minivan, bank and insurance were forged, then these charges should be added to her.

    Unfortunately…it is going to take an Illegal Alien Raping and Murdering a prominate person, before America half way wakes up and see’s there are serious problems with our Gov’t. I say half way wake up, because the attention span of America is about 15 minutes. It was only a couple hours after 9/11 when Liberal douchebags like Richard Gere were trying to nullify America’s response, tone down our anger and just wanting us to forget about it..

    Sounds great.

    But in Minnesota, even though we have a moderate Republican governor, and he’s an ok guy, everything else is run not only by Democrats, but liberal Democrats. The big newspaper hasn’t even reported her immigration status yet, even though the Fox affiliate did yesterday.

    Everything from both houses of the legislature, to the courts, to the counties, to the cities, to the cops, to the TV stations, to the newspapers are run by liberals.

    Nothing will be fast-tracked. This will go away with a whimper, mark my words.

    ALC, we have illegals here in Virginia doing better than me. They own new SUVs, own homes, have bank accounts, and work everyday at good jobs. Good grief, some of them even vote, I hear. If they keep “clean”, they probably retire and draw SS without anyone being the wiser.

    We started it right here in the SF Bay Area to recall Graham Davis. Unfortunately, Schwartzenkennedy got stars in his eyes and pushed the Conservative out of the way. But we marched on Sacramento with the chant: CAN YOU HEAR US NOW??? 5,000 to 10,000 strong. You should have seen them peering from the windows, scared at the voice of the people over one boneheaded policy after another. NO violence. Just
    voices. LOUD voices. Loud enough to break through their foggy headedness. Take advantage of the sentiment Minnesota!

    Killing children Americans won’t kill.

    The real question here for the Washington crowd, could this have been prevented by helping Mexico secure it’s southern border? Could it have been prevented by securing our Southern border?

    As far as I’m concerned, everyone in Washington (DC not the state) was camplicit in this tragedy (along with the many others of this type). Build the damn fence, enforce the labor laws. When discovered, deport them within 24 hours.

    First of all….nothing is going to change. The people you think are in control of the ship are not, in fact, in control of anything but their political careers, and barely at that. Let’s take a look at the situation:
    1) TTC – or the “Trans-Texas Corridor”, is going to be built. There is nothing any of us can do about it despite how mad we get or how many letters, emails or face to face chats with Gov. Rick Perry we have….it WILL BE BUILT.
    2) Anyone who thinks that there are no plans for a North American Union is seriously un-informed.
    3) The tragic ending of American lives, as in this case, means NOTHING to these people and is just another headline they will have to duck until the smoke blows over.
    4) Our so-called “elected officials” are ALL BOUGHT and PAID FOR on this issue of amnesty. Sure…some talk tough about getting the borders secure and blah, blah, blah, but if you listen to McCain on the subject he talks about how he would have every border state governor certify that their border was secured!? W.T.Hell? Rick Perry would give that pledge today if THEY wanted him to..so how does that help? Look, the simple fact is this…..in the minds of the real powers that be…the USA has to be brought down in order to complete their master plan of a North American Union. That is THE ONLY WAY to get Americans to go along with giving up their sovereignty. To break us all down and “re-build”. One of the ways to break us down is to bring down our economy, jobs, standard of living and other key economic targets. I mean….hell….they are selling our infrastructure to foreign governments right now….as we speak. And once they have sold out a significant amount of our highways and roads (for new toll roads on existing roads already paid for by the taxpayer!!) it’s all down hill from there for the America we all love and wish to keep. Now…knowing the union is coming, they have no desire to secure the southern border. Why would they want to do that? Why would they want to keep the new citizens of the NAU out of the northern region? They don’t….and they won’t…simple as that. Think about it folks….what we are up against is not necessarily our elected officials, but a MULTI-TRILLION dollar plan by people who control the worlds money, to make us all..not citizens…but consumers and workers…period. I know this sounds nuts, but the only way we are going to save this country in the next 10 years is if we convince the four-star guys in charge of the guns and planes and tanks to help us investigate and arrest and prosecute ALL of the politicians involved in this treasonous activity and restore our government for the people…back to the people. I say this because our media is one of the biggest criminals in this game and will not inform the citizens on anything having to do with the planned downfall of America. They would rather you watch “Dancing with the stars” and be clueless then to rock the boat with facts that could end the game. Yes this bus accident is a tragic story…but what I think even more tragic is the fact that not a thing will be done about it. Lip service and that.is.all. Sorry about the rant.

    whysoangry – you will soon realise moderate, rational opinions on such subjects are not welcome with most of the mob on here.

    Said by the troll who decided to link to a lynching mob as proof that Republicans didn’t care about other races. Oh, yes, I remember. Yeah, what moderate, rational person does that?

    Quite. The vast majority of road traffic accidents in this nation are caused by legal residents of the USA.

    What’s the difference between pointing out this womans legal status and the next step – someones skin colour or religion of choice to make a cheap political point?

    Are you going to, like one of your fellow trolls, lgm, point out that those who object to illegal MEXICANS breaking the law, invading our territorial boundaries, are racists? Because Mexicans are predominatly Catholic we’re discriminating against them because of their religion?

    Puzzle me this, sausage, then why are illegal Mexican workers sucking the life blood out of our schools, hospitals, and social/welfare system? Are we just imagining these blood-sucking leeches? Why do they get a pass? Why are they a protected class? I’ve already seen a lot of how public schools look the other way regarding illegals, when I taught in CO, to back up the rage and disbelief covered by many of the folks posting about this.

    John Ansell, I was under the impression that you thought this would be the straw that changed everyone’s mind. If you’re saying it’s going to be a long road, we don’t really disagree.

    I’m simply saying these things: this woman is a symptom of a far, far greater problem. We don’t have borders. We don’t have a political party that stands for policing borders. We have no immigration control worth the name.

    Now, you won’t vote for McCain, so you are willing to concede this election in order to send a message that “moderate” isn’t enough? Very honorable. I’m not sure I could stay home and I don’t see a strong third party candidate yet.

    But I agree that “moderate” isn’t enough, and no matter what he says, I believe McCain has assaulted the constitution more than anyone has in the history of the Union, and that I can’t forgive.

    Someone made a good point: the only way they’d vote for McCain was if he promised to appoint Supreme Court justices willing to overturn McCain-Feingold.
