The American Left

You type the post and you get the original idea and how it shaped our political system as was conceived by the original leader's of this country. I can copy paste but I know you can.

They're very much alive Nidi. These are our socially driven policies that benefits the majority, IE unemployment benefit, medical benefit. Etc.

The American Left

Yes of course, thanks for joining.

The American Left

Its, very much alive and the most dominant party by leader and the two houses.


"Since the 1930s, the modern
spectrum and the usage of left–right politics have differed from the rest of the world. For example, among the two major parties, American conservatism and the Republican Party support economic liberalism and classical liberalism's central principle of limited government, occupying the American political right. While the Democratic Party supports modern American liberalism and social liberalism, occupying the American political left.[5"

Are you kidding me? They're very much etched in our lives and will never go anywhere.

There's another way of looking at it. If the US is run by the leaders of other countries, let's say Mexico, would you think our country would be like it is now?

I'm sorry this is how you feel. But let me ask you this, do you have a problem like this in your country?

Thanks for commenting.

This is even more negative but thanks for your input.

That's nice. I'm not sure about the movie of Elvis but boy I love his Blue Hawaii one.

I love Yosemite CC, and mount Rushmore, also Lassen park.

I'm just curious, I am involved with the human rights and definitely want to address those abuses? How and where are they abused?

Thanks Galrads.

I think being this sarcastic and disdainful wouldn't solve the problem so be positive is all I ask. Thankshandshake

In my observation, generally all new immigrants on this country are very good and hardworking, but it's not the issue here. Of course there's big difference of spoiled affluent people born in here from those new immigrants but illegals are illegals, if our laws are violated then deal appropriately otherwise, if the answer is open all borders in the world, then maybe, that's the answer.

Of course we all are Don, but my concern is illegal.

Well I believe politics took over about everything, but I do love the notion. ..he's an idealist, but can we all be like him?

35 years ago when I first settled here from Hawaii, there was only English instructions on paper works and label for consumables. Now it's different. I'm surprised though, in San Francisco county, Chinese and Filipino are almost as majority as the Irish and Italian but only in Spanish and English.

Anyways CC, thanks.

My ex husband had a big business for so many years and we were inspected by the government at random to check violations on hiring illegal. Penalty was high if you were found in violation. I don't know if it's still the case. We sold our business in 2007.

GalwayGuy35 thanks for joining in. When I was in Switzerland and lived there people who were not with 10 generation record of living there can't buy any property. All the rich people from ME were buying real state left and right were sanctioned.

most beautiful place you've traveled

I remember Jurong bird park and the museum. I can compare it with Kuranda in Australia and the Honolulu zoo in Hawaii.

I only stayed there for a 5 days when I attended a seminar and not much time for personal tour. I do know people are so friendly, clean and very hospitable. Flying with Singapore Airlines is almost as great as Swiss air in service and cleanliness. I also went to the museum.

It's mandatory in California if you work for government offices you must be bilingual meaning your primary language is Spanish and then English.

illegal immigration

Reb thank you for joining. I think blaming is way past us, I'm only concerned on how to fix it. Or else why not reshape our laws.

My suggestion is to increase the numbers of staff handling legal migration.

Check the number of visa issued from countries that are most likely to come here and develop a strategy on determining who should be approved and not while all our borders secured.

illegal immigration

Galrads, I understand your concern. The worse part is that our borders are not secured.

One of my friend in the political group suggested, we should create a big and deep river in our border, put all the Alligators and might be a better solution. Bush allocated billions of dollars to reinforce the tunnels against illegals but instead they made it completely user friendly with lights, water lines, etc., in which case might as well open the border.

This was a response of one of our US senators on my question regarding this problem.


Office of Sen. Al Franken

Dear Phyllis,

Thank you for contacting me about immigration. I appreciate hearing from you.


I think we can all agree that the current immigration system is broken. As long as the system goes unfixed, Minnesota families, businesses, and communities will continue to suffer.

On November 20, the President announced a set of actions that federal agencies will take to address the immigration crisis. Undocumented immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or parents of lawful U.S. residents would be allowed to stay in the U.S. temporarily, provided that they register, pass a background check, and pay their fair share of taxes. The President's action also prioritizes border security and the deportation of dangerous criminals and threats to national security over others. The President's action would not grant permanent legal status to any undocumented immigrants, as the President cannot singlehandedly grant citizenship to new sets of individuals. That requires an act of Congress.
These steps will help a lot of families while enhancing border security. But they are not a substitute for congressional action, and I remain committed to passing comprehensive immigration reform. I was proud to play an active role in helping to craft the comprehensive immigration reform legislation that the Senate passed with strong bipartisan support in June 2013. The Senate bill would greatly increase our investment in border security. It would help Minnesota farmers and business owners access the workforce they need. In addition, the bill includes strong protections for American workers. It would level the playing field for workers by curbing unfair competition from undocumented labor. And for the many people who now live in the shadows, the bill would open a pathway to legal status as accountable, taxpaying members of our communities.

Unfortunately, the House of Representatives never acted on the Senate bill. My hope is that the House's reaction to the President's executive action will be to pass comprehensive immigration legislation. I'll be pushing to make that happen because I believe that is the only way to get truly sustainable reform - reform that families, businesses, and communities across Minnesota need. I'll be sure to keep your thoughts in mind as I continue to push for immigration reform in Congress.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so in the future on this or any other matter of concern to you.


Sincerely,


Signature
Al Franken
United States Senator

Let's face it our US immigration system is broken. Worse good answers or solution seems nowhere to be found.

I know we're not the only one beset by this serious problem. Australia and Europe has its shares.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

Fox news: discussion about NUKING A MUSLIM COUNTRY?

I have no problem with that but if we're being specific on which one are those that we have done, then check what the government has done and why.

Fox news: discussion about NUKING A MUSLIM COUNTRY?

Lolette thanks for this new information. Yes sometimes street news are more credible than the big media.

Now what amazes me is why would key figure such as the Woodhouse ever talk about this, isn't it self defeating for the non Muslims? Now that they know what are possibility, I might sure it will up their reinforcement.

Hopefully like I said it's not the direction because if Hiroshima and Nagasaki are not enough lessons to show the massive destruction a bomb can do, then like we just have to face what's coming.

Very interesting and intriguing hot, boy now on the global warming, that should really be a good topic, don't you think? Didn't Al Gore make a lot of money on that?
