RE: Illegal Aliens---should they be allowed to stay or be sent home?

How to implement, do any of you have suggestions?

RE: Illegal Aliens---should they be allowed to stay or be sent home?

You are right there are cities in the midwest that are really tiny and had not had a murder, and now that illegals are there, they have all kinds of murders and crime, it has increased in many populations, that were previously not known for that type of crime.

RE: Illegal Aliens---should they be allowed to stay or be sent home?

I guess to make it so they have to do the things that others have had to do to become legal. Put them at the end of the list, I have heard some people in other countries waiting 5 or more years to come here. They should be made to wait the same time and take it upon themselves to learn our language and not at the governments expense. My uncle learned English watching T.V. Now they were refugees during World War 2. They must show initiative to become an American, if they cannot do that. Then they should go back home. The question again is how to implement something like that.

RE: Illegal Aliens---should they be allowed to stay or be sent home?

That is a real tough one, there are over 12 million illegal aliens, to try to get all them back home, would create a bigger debt than the county already has and then again, a lot of them have fake ssn# believe it or not, I met a few here in San Diego. One even owned his own business. The jobs teenagers could have are now filled with many illegals. With the unemployment rates I don't think there is such as unwanted jobs anymore. I know California is between 10-12 % unemployment. But the question: Is What is the answer? Who knows? Fine the companies that hire illegals, I am not sure.

RE: Am I alone in my beliefs that age is something more than just a number?

He didn't make me feel older, he just never wanted to do anything. So we had to do things without him.

The reason for age on health insurance is the percentage of people with health issues over a certain age. Granted there are the exceptions, especially with new technology and the concentration on better eating habits and diet and exercise, but the issue percentage wise is still the same, but that isn't the only thing. Because if you love somebody health isn't going to matter. Then again to some it may. The percentages do not lie.
You are right about the age issue as far as maturity is concerned being grounded. However, for example the previous message for me, said that his mother was 40 and his father 72 or there abouts. Now if his mother was single at 40 would she really go after a man that is 72 now? I don't think so. She might say she would, but in reality, how many men and women are chasing 70+ in age? Why? If age is just a number why not?
Men can produce generally until they die. Would it matter if the guy over 72 didn't have money? Hmmm.. other food for thought.
Now if this is your choice. More power to you. I just wouldn't recommend it. But we all have our choices in life. I am guilty of marrying someone 7 years older, and all he did was make me feel older. But then that is me. It is now over.

More food for thought?
Why do older men chase 20 year old women than 80 year old women if age is not just a number? :)

Good for you.

There are many that do not have health issues at this stage in life. I do not judge for those who choose this. I am just wouldn't suggest it. Many do have health issues over the age of 45 years old. I know I work in the medical industry.
When a person is 18 they are just discovering who they are. My 18-year olds' were just really clueless until an older age. If my daughter had married some of the people she originally thought she was going to marry. She would not have obtained her masters in accounting etc. The young are often clueless, they just need time to grow and to experience life. No matter how intelligent they seem to be about life. My daughter is a genius.
But do I care that your father and his wife have a long distance in age. No, that is not my business either. I don't judge those who want to marry within great parameters of age, I just don't suggest it.

RE: Am I alone in my beliefs that age is something more than just a number?


I agree, I would not date anyone old enough to date my sons or daughters. People go through life experiences, what does someone who is 18 generally know about health issues that a 50 year old may have. In 20 years that 50 year old may pass away, and that 18 year old is left a widow in her 30's. Is it fair to that 18 year. NO it isn't.
So I agree with you, age is very important.
