Let's also not forget that constitutionally, Texas is still an independent republic.

They'd have been better off as a different country. My guess is by now, if we hadn't have purchased the land, it would still belong to America because France would have been lost in WWII. After Germany lost, we'd have gotten that land.
Now that is some funny shit. What a fucking idiot. Yea, you tell that to all the people West of the Mississippi. In this case you should give up your house and all your belongings to some illegal alien family. What a bunch of convoluted thinking. You have no idea what would have happened if we had not purchased the land.

With you in Georgia, I can be certain America would be better off if all of the Louisiana Purchase were another country.

That would put me in the United States of America, and him in redneck bible-thumping, anti-evolution, global warming denying, racist, sister-fucking, land. That's sort of a long name. Maybe they could just call themselves The Confederate States of America.

Well you can't be talking about me.

I was born in the Northern states.

I don't go to church or read the bible, never did.

I fully support evolution.

Global warming? it's a toss. Maybe.

My sister is dead.

I am no more a racist than you are anti-white.

But you are a cocksucker.

San Francisco: Sanctuary City Gone Awry



Quote:
San Francisco's political establishment has long prided itself on providing a haven for illegal immigrants. Mayor Gavin Newsom even launched a taxpayer-funded $83,000 "public awareness campaign" earlier this year assuring illegal immigrants that the "sanctuary city" by the bay was in their court.
Quote:
The brutal and senseless murder last month of Tony Bologna and his sons Michael, 20, and Matthew, 16, at the hands of Edwin Ramos, a native of El Salvador and known member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) street gang, was a reminder that inviting illegal activity can turn deadly. The Bolognas were on their way back from a family picnic when they inadvertently blocked Ramos' car from making a left turn in the Excelsior district. When Bologna politely backed up to let the other car past, Ramos responded by opening fire and killing all three passengers. Ramos has been charged with three counts of murder, with the added penalty of street-gang involvement.
Quote:
This certainly wasn't Ramos' first brush with the law. He was booked both on felony weapons charges and for being a member of a criminal street gang earlier this year, but escaped prosecution for lack of evidence. However, as reported by the San Francisco Chronicle, the San Francisco Police Department "cited 'numerous documented contacts' that officers had with Ramos and [his companion] Lopez, and said both were active members of the MS-13 street gang.'" But thanks to San Francisco's sanctuary city status, instead of being reported to federal immigration authorities and deported, Ramos was allowed continue to roam the streets of San Francisco until his arrest for the Bologna killings.
Quote:
Earlier this month, San Bernardino County officials threatened to sue the city of San Francisco for sending a group of Honduran, illegal immigrant, juvenile crack dealers to group homes in the city of Yucaipa without notification. Eight of them simply walked away from the unsecured group homes and only one has been recaptured. Officials later acknowledged that this wasn't the first time San Francisco had unloaded criminal illegal immigrants onto San Bernardino County. In fact, Yucaipa has seen a rise in violent crime in accordance with the influx of foreign offenders to its group homes in recent years.

I never do forget that. It's an indisputable fact.

Wow, for an indisputable fact it sure is open to a lot of debate and analysis. There are quite a few studies on each side of the issue.
