Another rig explodes off La. coast; oil spreading

<quoted text>The number is closer to 3,500 rigs and platforms with roughly 79 of them being deep water. But, my point was....Why are we funding Mexico with drilling in the very same gulf that we are not allowed to? Mexico isn't invincible to rig explosions and leaks!

For the same reasons that we continue to look the other way while millions of Mexican illegals swarm across our borders with drug lords in tow behind them. Money and votes talk?

<quoted text>What do you mean look away? There are 1,000 extra NG that have been deployed to the border by the President and that's on top of Border Security that was already there and let's not forget the hundreds of militia groups that love shooting them there illegals.
Why not ask Congress, Immigration, local law enforcment why THEY don't go after the Americans who are employing the illegals? It's like you said.... Votes and money because after all, illegals can't vote and don't have any money.

You and many others shoot from the emotional hip instead of from the rational shooting position.
Wiki _ Illegal Immigration: http://tinyurl.com/2f52dl
"The US Department of Homeland Security and some advocacy groups have criticized a program of the government of the state of Yucatan and that of a federal Mexican agency directed to Mexicans migrating to and residing in the United States. They claim that the assistance includes advice on how to get across the U.S. border illegally, where to find healthcare, enroll their children in public schools, and send money to Mexico. The Mexican federal government also issues identity cards to Mexicans living outside of Mexico.[46][47]
* In 2005 the government of Yucatan produced a handbook and DVD about the risks and implications of crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The guide told immigrants where to find health care, how to get their kids into U.S. schools, and how to send money home. Officials in Yucatan said the guide is a necessity to save lives but some American groups accused the government of encouraging illegal immigration.[48]
* In 2005 the Mexican government was criticized for distributing a comic book which offers tips to illegal aliens emigrating to the United States.[49] That comic book recommends to illegal immigrants, once they have safely crossed the border, "Don't call attention to yourself.... Avoid loud parties.... Don't become involved in fights." The Mexican government defends the guide as an attempt to save lives. "It's kind of like illegal immigration for dummies," said the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington, Mark Krikorian. "Promoting safe illegal immigration is not the same as arguing against it." The comic book does state on its last page that the Mexican Government does not promote illegal crossing at all and only encourages visits to the U.S. with all required documentation.[49]"
Your country is being treated as a fool and sucker by outsiders and you fall right into line with them. When a president grants amnesty ti illegals, they instantly become voters favorable to his party. Obama, sinking fast in political polls, is poised to sell-out his country for this political gain. You are a sucker.

Look at the timing for his sending "more" border patrol personnel: immediately after the Arizonians took the bull by the horns because Obama will not. Additionally, his "increase" has been laughed at because it is a spit in the bucket - its use was simply for show. Secondly, he used National Gaurd people who have no training in border patrol issues. As a result, they can only shuffle paper behind desks.
Again, you are a political sucker who doesn't reason things out but only uses knee-jerk emotional responses.

<quoted text>Would you like to guess what happens to an economy that has people who aren't paying taxes sending millions of dollars out of the country every year? And these same people are devouring our social services as if there is a never-ending supply of those U.S. dollars. Yep, there's now more money exiting America than coming in, how much longer do you think we can sustain that drain on our economy?
As for those illegals not having any money, you're wrong. I've seen scrawny little illegals whose only conspicuous income is mowing lawns and food stamps driving Escalades so there's definitely money in their pockets, lots of it. I have a family member who works at the dmv who told me that illegals who can't speak English are in there everyday sending moneygrams to Mexico and it's been going on for many years now. You can be sure this transfer of money is going on all over the U.S. and it will continue until somebody decides to stand up for what's ours. As for illegals not voting, ever heard of fake id's and ACORN?

I'm typing on a blog, dear.
No emotion involved in my post.
Just you getting all bent out of
shape because your argument was
weak. Get over it.
Here, maybe this is 'emotion-less' enough for you.
No jobs, no money.
No money, no illegals.

So in your mind, a rational discussion about immigration should
end with bringing up ACORN? Huh, zippy?
Try to focus on ONE subject for ONE minute.
We lost more American jobs under George W. Bush than we did at any other time in American History.
Granted, NAFTA didn't help and that was Clinton's fault partially. However, these illegals came here because they were being hired, illegally. The flow of traffic over the border has dropped significantly since ICE began it's raids in and around border towns. If local law enforcement cracked down on the companies hiring the illegals, the traffic would begin to trickle and maybe even eventually stop. But, the GOP and the Dems are afraid to go there because as that other poster said, they need the votes and the $$$$ but Americans are just too stupid to figure it out for themselves. They turn on the boobtube and fill their empty heads with more propaganda passed off as news. What a joke.
Sure worked on you though.
PS: newsflash; there are millions of Russians, Poles, Portugese, etc who work here, cash only, and send every penny home. But no, you just see them there Mexicans doing it and it makes your blood boil. Look within as to why that is, teabigot.

So in one post, I'm a "space cadet" and then you crawl back for more in a 2nd post to me just to tell ME I'm being evasive. Yet, you didn't mention anything about immigration in either post. Looks like YOU are just LOST in general, zippy.
PS: The 80's called and they want their phrase back...."Space cadet"......bahahhahahaa
