The make-’em-suffer, wait-’em-out tactic is shockingly passive. It’s a far cry from the comprehensive reform that Mr. McCain supports, which would move decisively to extend a web of lawfulness over the shadow population, signing people up for visas, doing background checks, extracting fines and back taxes and imposing other conditions. Poll after poll shows the American public supporting this assertive, fair-minded approach. But the amnesty-never hard-liners seem determined to drown them out.
[Note: So, which is it, “far more government intrusion into daily lives” is bad - a shocking notion to read from the Leftists in the NYTimes - or is it good, “extend[ing] a web of lawfulness?” Of course, the NYTimes and their friends on the Left are not interested in restricting the size or reach of government when it suits their purposes. Rather, they use this as another scare tactic. Wouldn’t a process of legalization, as proposed by the Senate bill, require a vast new bureaucracy? Wouldn’t its enforcement mechanism require more government “snoops?” Of course it will; but, since the NYTimes editorial board wants its cheap nannies and gardeners, these are good “snoops.” Further, if the removal of these cheap laborers would cause economic collapse - Rescue Me!!!!!!!!!!jazz artist

Well, apparently Brad and Angelina are selling the pictures of their baby and donating the money to charity. I wonder why people would pay so much money to see a baby. I mean come on, it’s a little baby, you’re going to get lots of pictures of her later on, why do you need to have her on every magazine’s cover? I’m glad that he baby was finally born - I was tired of reading about it, it seems like this baby’s life was chronicled since the time of conception. And Gwen Stefanie had her baby last week as well. I hope this is the end of all the celebrity pregnancies that everyone was talking about for months and months. I have to admit I like torturing myself by reading about them, it’s like a sick attraction, but in the end it just makes me feel bad about myself. Oh, well, we still have Britney and her second baby, how could I forget about that. Hopefully she’ll drop her excuse for a husband by the time the baby is born and go back to being Britney again. I hate it when women lose themselves after they marry scmucks!
Okay so there was a small hiccup in the vacation. As J over at City-itis pointed out yesterday beauty and traveling is getting dangerous. Although you would not catch me being arrested over nail polish….it just wouldn’t happen.
However…I was THOROUGHLY UPSET when I discovered my brand new mini Purity Made Simple cleanser was spilled out all over the inside of my toiletries bag. Y’all know how much I love that stuff…plus wtf would I wash my face with…the safeguard soap at the hotel?? File that under awww helll naw.
So off to the local wal-mart I went in search of something…anything to wash my poor face. After roaming the half stocked aisles convinced I wouldn’t find anything and I would have to settle for Noxzema (not my favorite..but it will work in a pinch) I found the last tube of a cleanser I had heard about but hadn’t got to try yet. In the land of, “You can get discount cigarettes, beer and a Virginia ham here!!!” I got something to clean my face and not break it in two from dryness.
something the author seems to believe - than legalizing people, which, one assumes, would lead to higher wages, benefits, and so forth, will also lead to a “devastating” situation for the “agriculture and service industries” as their labor costs sky-rocket. The whole point of the economic argument for illegals is that they have a below market labor cost associated with them. Unless you truly believe that they “do jobs Americans won’t do” at any wages - something that the facts do not support - than the economic argument has to hinge on the labor costs. If those come in line with market rates for legal labor, than there would be comparable economic damage done. So, the economic argument really depends on a large pool of illegal labor.]
