They don't only cover conservative stories or from the conservative angle. REALLY good-thinking, amazing young people.<br />I wish some lib venue'd be like that.<br /><br />He asked one of the young women about immigration and she was right:<br />"If amnesty is given to 11 million immigrants, Republicans will never win again."<br /><br />Don't EVER think democrats aren't ALL about that and not so much about the altruism. Man.<br /><br />And then democrats should ask themselves "WHY?" WHY? Because they get FREE STUFF, that's WHY.<br /><br />Which is an insulting thing for me to say to the VERY hardworking Hispanics I happen to know....but really...11 MILLION people who started in this country by breaking a pretty MAJOR LAW are going to be given a pass AND OUR STUFF?

...We need to do something with/for the mentally ill<br /><br />Drugs help immeasurably and most of those on the street aren't taking even the drugs they're given. I know friends with mentally ill family members who are fabulous ON their drugs and back on the streets and violent, confused, without them. Completely nonfunctioning.<br /><br />It's expensive enough for the mentally ill to be helped in institutions (which I prefer to the term WAREHOUSE) let alone throwing dimentia/Alzheimer's into the mix, too$$$$$$$$$$$ Unbelievably expensive.<br /><br />We are also going to be spending BILLIONS on the HUGE, ENORMOUS amount of children who (quite suddenly) have Autism. (the amount and timing is sudden, not children suddenly developing it, tho that does happen in some cases) . Their parents will be dead in 30-40 years and those children will then be on the street. Or in institutions, many of them.<br /><br />The problem of aged parents is another one.<br /><br />FAMILIES NEED TO PITCH IN. What kind of family depends on the government to take care of the elderly loved ones who held that family's head when they were children and throwing up or cooked dinner every night for all those years and did their laundry...and paid for everything...etc? Then you let the gov't take over?<br /><br />But, that's complicated, too. There is no "that's right, that's wrong"<br /><br />So, what to do?<br /><br />Jack, I agree about where the money should be spent; amen to that.<br /><br />Religious groups used to help but they're shrinking in size, aren't they. Disrespect and kids who had college drive faith out of them...it's just not what it was and that was a HUGE force for good in taking care of the ill, old, etc. It still is in some cases.<br /><br />I don't know what else to write...........it's a horrid problem that won't go away.<br />Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-77753159011277123712014-01-30T18:37:22.376-08:002014-01-30T18:37:22.376-08:00@Kid:

Republicans would have no right to say, "You can't vote." But why on Earth are they bringing in people sworn to their political destruction?<br /><br />Republicans have no obligation to assist the Democrats as they change the country in a way that favors them electorally, particularly when it does great harm to the people already here.<br />Yes, it's great for the most powerful Americans to have lots of cheap, unskilled labor. Immigration definitely solves the rich's "servant problem."<br /><br />(Approximately 5 million times a day, MSNBC expresses bewilderment that any Republicans oppose amnesty when it's supported by the Chamber of Commerce. Wow! So even people who profit by flooding the country with cheap labor are in favor of flooding the country with cheap labor!)<br /><br />It's terrific for ethnic lobbyists whose political clout will skyrocket the more foreign-born Americans we have.<br /><br />And it's fantastic for the Democrats, who are well on their way to a permanent majority, so they can completely destroy the last remnants of what was once known as "the land of the free."<br /><br />The only ones opposed to our current immigration policies are the people.<br /><br />But are they going to give John Boehner a job when he's no longer House speaker, as some big business lobbyist will?<br /><br />Will they help Marco Rubio run for president on the claim that, as a Cuban, he can appeal to Hispanics? (Fat chance.)<br /><br />Will they bundle contributions for Eric Cantor's re-election, as well-heeled donors will?<br /><br />Will they be enough to re-elect Kevin McCarthy to Congress so he can keep his gold-plated government health insurance?<br /><br />Will they be the ones writing Darrell Issa's flattering New York Times obituary?<br /><br />Sorry, Americans.

Meanwhile, 51 percent of Asians have a favorable opinion of Obamacare, 18 percent an unfavorable one. Even Koreans support Obamacare by 57 percent to 17 percent.<br /><br />Overall, 69 percent of immigrants like Obamacare, according to a 2010 Cooperative Congressional Election Study.<br /><br />That same survey showed that only 35 percent of native-born Americans support affirmative action, compared to 58 percent of immigrants, including -- amazingly -- 64 percent of Asians (suggesting they may not be as smart as everyone thinks).<br /><br />Also surprising, a Pew Research Center poll of all Hispanics, immigrant and citizen alike, found that Hispanics take a dimmer view of capitalism than even people who describe themselves as "liberal Democrats." <br /><br />While 47 percent of self-described "liberal Democrats" hold a negative view of capitalism, 55 percent of Hispanics do.<br /><br />Pew also found that only 27 percent of Hispanics support gun rights, compared to 57 percent of non-Hispanic whites. According to Latino Decisions, large majorities of Hispanics favor a national database of gun owners, limiting the capacity of magazines and a ban on semiautomatic weapons.<br /><br />Seventy-five percent of Hispanic immigrants and 55 percent of Asian immigrants support bigger government -- also according to Pew. Even after three generations in America, Hispanics still support bigger government 55 percent to 36 percent, compared to the general public, which opposes bigger government 48 percent to 41 percent.<br /><br />How are Republicans going to square that circle? It's not their position on amnesty that immigrants don't like; it's Republicans' support for small government, gun rights, patriotism, the Constitution and capitalism.<br /><br /><br /><br />Bye bye American Pie....welcome to ???

They are our family, and if we cannot care for them in our homes, then we should be willing to pay for their care in state regulated, professionally staffed facilities. I would much rather see these monies being paid as subsidies to professionally staffed facilities than doled out to people who are mentally incompetent to take care of themselves. There are solutions to this tragedy; I just don’t think we are looking for them hard enough. No one reading this blog will wake up tomorrow and decide to contact local politicians about doing a better job for these suffering souls. No one will start a petition to force a solution through local city administrations or county offices.
