Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

I would like to get a job that’s secure. For a company — like, safe. A regular job. Today you got job, tomorrow you got job, tomorrow, next week. I would like to get my papers, be legal, be married. Maybe bring some family here and try to get married with American woman for my papers. And live here, and maybe (…) stay here.

Comments: According to the article he is here mainly for work, although this paragraph caught my eye. Although I am probably more agnostic about people like him in general, I would not be too thrilled with him cutting everyone else in line for citizenship.

This next guy I actually have sympathy for:

How much will the operation cost?

About $15,000 to $20,000 dollars. I have a little, some pesos, but I need it for other things, so my kids eat, have clothes …

[...]

My son, sometimes he faints, and my wife gets scared and has to pick him up from school or home or wherever. And the poor thing, all the time she has to watch him. When there’s a way, they take a bus. But when he’s very delicate, they take a taxi to the nearest hospital…. When I feel bad is when he asks why. Why is he sick when his brother and sister are OK? And that’s when we all feel bad.

Comments: This probably wasn’t an easy decision for this guy (as he seems to miss his family a lot) although hopefully someone from doctors without borders can help him, as his heart really seems to be in Mexico, instead of the US.

Last, but not least, the Home Depot Preacher:

Immigration doesn’t come to get us. Immigration goes after those who committed some crime, or are already marked for deportation. In that I agree … because I know them. Immigration officials know me and I know immigration officials. They are just doing their duty. …

The (Home Depot) manager knows me, everyone knows me inside. The (Home Depot security) officials know me too. I’m helping them out here by making sure the workers don’t go inside. The manager’s a good person, because I’ve spoken with him. He says hi to us in the morning, happily, and I feel happy too.

I not too sure how comfortable I am with government officials cozying up to anyone (especially in this day in age). Either way, the guy seems to be keeping Home Depot happy by keeping the drunks and druggies away (free security?).

So what do you guys think? Should they all be deported, or should they all stay?

Ask Mitt Romney Anything?

It looks as if Mitt Romney will be once again visiting South Carolina this week (tomorrow actually), and has invited the public to an Ask Mitt Anything in the upstate.

Although I have a few questions I would like to ask, reality dictates that I probably will only be able to ask a single question.

Thus far I have scaled down my list to these three questions which are:

What is your best method of stopping Iran’s President Ahmadinejad from going nuclear since sanctions do not appear to be working?
As President, would you consider moving the US Embassy inside Jerusalem according to the Jerusalem Embassy Act passed by congress 12 years ago?
With China intending to land a man on the moon, how would you prepare our space industry to compete against rising China, and if you don’t have any great ideas, should I pick up Chinese?

These were the best questions that I could come up with. I would ask about immigration and health care, although Michelle Malkin and USA Today have already answered those questions for me already, respectively.

Mitt has already answered my question about energy on his site, although I may ask it again since biofuel is looking more and more like a fairy tale.

So what do you guys think? Are these great questions or should I ask another?

Note: I’ll see if I can provide some video later on, although CNN may have a clearer shot (since the media has better camera’s than I do).

Sacrifice Your Grand Kids Inheritance For Ron Paul?

I am having my doubts whether this is true or not, but if so, this person is either on a very strong legal drug or has found the “political messiah.”

(Comment on Political Radar) I am 60 years old. I have always voted for smaller government and to uphold the Constitution. I have never gotten what I voted for. Today I put my home up for sale. I am taking the proceeds and going to spend it promoting Ron Paul. That is the best way to spend my grandchildrens inheritance. They will benefit more by having President Ron Paul than having $100,000 of fiat money. Our lives, our fortunes, our sacred honor. The Revolution has begun.

If Ron Paul doesn’t win, those grand kids are sure going to be ~~pissed off~~ very upset.

Truthfully I rather vote for Hillary than Ron Paul (and I don’t even like her that much) as “Paul boy” doesn’t seem to grasp the fact that there is an violent group of theocrats (currently in the form of Islam) trying to kill half the planet, and enslave the other half.

But I digress.
