I don't mind granting citizenship to anyone who comes here, that's what this country is supposed to be all about. Everyone who comes here should become a full fledged taxpayer.


Taxes are a bit cheaper than in the UK here in Holland :) Mind you the Tax office here is still as bad as it's UK counterpart, quick to chase you if you owe them but slow in paying you when they owe you lol

It's entirely possible that vast numbers of USA citizens never heard of Senator Kennedy.
This would account for airport security staff not knowing who he is and being suspicious of his ('probably fake') ID.

Drifting sideways into the thread on using 'popular' fake details to verify with Integrity:
I go back to my suggestion of the possibility of knock on the door for people using information that might also have been used by a suspected terrorist - such as "T Kennedy" -- OR using the details of someone whose *name* happened to be on the no-fly list.
Imagine opening your door and finding the same intelligence level that tries to keep the Senator and small children off of aeroplanes.


There's a Teddy Kennedy avatar in SL.
According to slnamewatch, there are 51 Kennedy's
-- probably all terrorists, or griefers at the very least.
I hope LL have them on the no-tp list.

I do not mind granting citizenship to people who are legally in this country and applying using the proper channels.

What I am against however is this new drive to give amnesty to 15,000,000 immigrants who are here illegally with their families.

If you somehow had a method of deporting them today, the economy of the south would crash and burn in a matter of weeks. If you deported fifteen million illegals today ... fifteen million citizens would be out of a job tomorrow.

The only "sane" play, is to grant amnesty to anyone that is actually working, and start collecting tax from them. Keep in mind I didn't say "good" play ... there is no good play ... I said "sane" play, because it's really the only option left.

This. Nothing wrong with 15 million additional taxpayers. Give those that refuse to sign on the dotted line, a one way bus ticket home. There are a host of other issues that have to be fixed alongside this but it would be a start.

I don't think I've ever felt my country is like an open prison!


Probably because each bit of liberty was taken a small bite at a time. Just like a frog in a pot of water with the heat being gradually increased you don't notice you are being boiled.

Simon Sheppard and Stephen Whittle would disagree about it not being a prison. Both men were arrested and convicted of crimes solely because of what they wrote and published on the internet. I don't agree with anything they wrote, but to punish them for speaking their minds is a pretty sure sign to me that they are living in a prison.

Yes, but Brenda, many of them wouldn't be required to pay taxes; most of their income makes them ineligible.........

hmmm ......ugggg now that I think of it - eligible is a poor choice of words....don't think anyone really wants to be eligible to pay taxes.

The "Plan" is to grant amnesty to those in the U.S. and allow them to bring their family into the country for legal migration - estimates put that at around 15,000,000 immigrants.

And if by "The South" you mean FLORIDA....because I have lived in Tennessee, Virginia, and in Mississippi, and have in laws in Georgia, Alabama, and my own relatives in Florida - and discounting Florida, i see no great population of immigrants in any of those states (well Virginia had a growing immigrant population, but the majority of laborers and Joe Job workers were still poor white people and blacks.

I see no deportation of illegals from south of the border crashing the economy of the South any time soon.

LOL thats even if you got past airport security in the US, they to have a habit of banning and excluding "Undesirables" with the "No Fly List" which classes those on it as inadmissable...


I've always maintained that the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and the passage of the Patriot Act were stupid knee-jerk reactions to 9/11. Now we've managed to saddle ourselves with the SS.

Some of us are old enough to remember when Reagan granted amnesty to illegals back in the '80s. I was living in southern California at the time. Reagan promised us that if we all went along with the program, he'd stop the influx of illegals into the US and we'd have fewer taxes in the future. What amnesty did then was to send the state into a downward spiral and it has never recovered. What us tax payers got out of the deal is more taxes that went to non-tax payers to get free medical, education, housing, food stamps, welfare, etc.,...and you didn't have to be a citizen to get all the freebies. That's still going on today.

I'm sick of paying for everyone else's free ride, and I'm adding politicians who waste our money on ridiculous pork or insist on being pampered at the tax payer's expense in with the rest of the tax burden.

One thing we will be getting with our taxes very soon is 800 new IRS agents, just in case you're thinking about not paying in the future.

It was a good idea though for the government to control the masses better under the guise of we are protecting you from Terrorists ;)

A lot of countries though followed suit with their own knee jerk reactions. Religion and self serving government bully boy tactics around the world are the root cause of the state of the worlds problems imo ;)

No there isn't much open space left now is there? We have the highest population density in Europe, bar Gibraltar. We're full - no more room! The country's infrastructure is cracking up. The schools, hospitals and transport systems are failing. It's a serious business because once someone gets here, no-matter how undesirable they are or even if they have been convicted of a heineous crime, it is nigh on impossible to deport them - they can appeal to the EU Court of Human Rights. This takes years (all at a cost to the taxpayer) and by the time the case comes up, the EU rules that it would be depriving them of their human rights to deport them. So they remain - along with their dependents and join the ever growing "lumpen proletariat".

Hence the emphasis is now on e-Borders and keeping people out.

(Mind you, JackBoots Smith, has helped herself to plenty of taxpayers money in her expenses claims - so she is no good example. She's the one who claimed for her husband porn movies on ministerial expenses. Looking at Ms Smith one can understand the man's needs, but I really don't think the taxpayer should pay for it!)

I thought the Netherlands and Belgium both have higher population densities than Britain.

Just checked on Google:

Average population densities:

Netherlands: 395/sq km......Belgium: 344/sq/km......UK: 245/sq/km

If you just take England, as opposed to the UK, the average density is 383/sq/km, which is still lower than the Netherlands.

I was somewhat surprised to discover that Germany is almost as densely populated as the UK, with 233/sq km.

The other thing it did was send the message that they should all go ahead and come illegally because we will take care of them and eventually grant them amnesty also - hence the even larger flood since then.
