Re: If you could
This lady has the right idea. I vote for her!
We need more Governors like her in our Country!!!
Yes, you have to love an American like her!
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer vs. the Phoenix Suns owner
The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team,
Robert Sarver, came out strongly opposing
AZ's new immigration laws.
Arizona's Governor, Jan Brewer,
released the following statement in response to
Sarver's criticism of the new law:
"What if the owners of the Suns discovered that
hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying?
What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are
but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed
to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs,
thus non-paying attendees couldn't be ejected.
Furthermore, what if Suns' ownership was expected to
provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink?
And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher
became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide
free medical care and shelter?"
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer

Re: If you could
I agree with mr strange. if these British??? ******s go to fight in Syria let them stay there do not let them back here. lets ban all face coverings like France.
I have now received my fifth or sixth e-mail from Cameron who seems to be too thick to give up. he is still asking for me to donate £10 towards his party funds. hope he doesn't bring in the army

Re: If you could
#26, Just thinking Alf reply to Mr Cameron stating that you'll happily donate £10 to his party funds from your savings but only if he honours your requests first. That should stop unwanted mail....

Re: If you could
I Am a legal citizen and i must show my ID when;
1 Pulled over by police.
2 Making purchasers on my department store credit card.
3 When i show up for a doctors appointment.
4 When filling out a credit card or loan application.
5When applying for or renewing a drivers licence or passport.
6 When applying for any kind of insurance.
7 When filling out college applications.
8 When donating blood.
9 When obtaing certain prescription drugs.
10 When making some debit purchases,espcially if i'm out of State
11 When collecting a boarding pass for airline or train travel.
I'm sure there are more instances,but the point is that we citezens of the USA
are required to prove who we are nearly every day!
Why should people in this country illegally be exempt!!!!
Why shouldn't we guard are borders like every other country in the world does?

Re: If you could
We recently has a case here in Oz where a cop pulled a car over. the lady driver had face covered and he asked her to remove it so he could identify her. She tefused and in the end he had to arrest her.
She claimed in court he had molested her and she was going to sue him for touching her. When she saw the cctv footage taken by the camera in the police car she knew she was in trouble.
We have a group here in Oz who are so opposed to the idea of any form of idenity card most gove have given up trying. But what is their problem, if you are a law abiding citezen with nothing to hide then where is the problem?
The details of every Australian is lodged somewhere and is held in the major computer centre in Canberra, if you so much as fart in public it will be noted there. Sadly the minority groups make the most noise and the rest have to suffer for it.
I have no problem with the law abiding migrant who comes here legaly to start a new and hopefuly better life, I was one, but those who come to disrupt our way of life must be dealt with in the hrashest manner allowable by law, and if that is deportation then so be it. One has been returned to Pakistan after serving a three stretch.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.

Re: If you could
I would like to know were I can get a race card from? we are a nation divided why the magna carta was for all not for the colour of your skin or god you worship? we need brand new laws throughout the country and although I was against the death penalty it should be brought back or banishment for life from this country for those not born here? what is the answer a joe stalin adolf hitler no I don't think so but some countries need them. may be a papa dock you can only go so far. the anarchy will rule some parts of Britain is like the wild west gang turf in London you can be shot for entering parts if you are affiliated to another gang
