I'm tired of that as well. And like you, the illegal aliens flowing over our borders cause so many problems. From the hit our health care industry is taking, to the smack in the face to our education, to the 200,000+ illegal aliens from Middle Eastern countries who were told to come back so they could be deported. WHAT KIND OF MORONS ARE EMPLOYED BY I.C.E.?

Hi there,

Linda, your name sounds very familiar to me. Have I met you?

Secondly, I agree with your blog. Wholeheartedly.

I even agree with Josh Groban in your sidebar. :)

So if a father breaks a law and he comes from a place where they would kill the family, you would be all for killing that mans innocent children?

Don't be ridiculous!!! I'm still an American...Just kill the Father.

Linda

"In places where hands are still cut off for stealing and extermination of families are performed for bad mouthing government, this could be a major deteriant for those who would come and hurt us from with in."

Uh, why would I be called ridiculous when i was just asking about this above statement that you made. You were the one who said that exterminating the family would be a deterant.

Anna Maria - don't pick a fight. Linda's right about this and she is talking about illegal aliens. They do not want to honor our laws so we need to hold them to their own. It's not as if they don't already know them, because they do.

I don't know how severe the problem is becoming in Canada, but I know your government complained to our about it, so it must be escalating. If people will not honor the laws of the host country why shouldn't they be held to the laws of their own?

And by the way, I know Linda and her comment was made in jest.

I wasn't trying to pick a fight.

I was shocked by the statement and wanted to understand it and clarify it. The jesting in it didn't come through clearly.

I've been out of town for a week, but now I am back and will reply to the comments about killing a family. This article was a "food for thought" article and I am pleased with the responses that have ensued from it. My thought on killing families was not literal to the point of actually killing the innocent, but in terminating the guilty. Have the guilty pay for their deeds as they would be punished by the laws of their lands.

Another thought however does occur to me in this train of thought. If the children are following in their father's footsteps, as in the case of Saddam, then yes terminate the family, as they will only continue to exterminate the innocent and prey upon the weak and pick a fight with others, causing senseless deaths to innocents themselves. If they are young they perhaps need to be watched for future activities as the anger of the young often return to avenge their parent.

Whoa! Heated. Glad we went through all the hoops, became legal US citizens, and vowed never to become a burden on anyone. Self sufficient is the name of the game.
