Sort of like the latest Demoncratic comments or those of the former head of ACORN?

Oh, you must mean Pelosi, Reid, and the Demoncrats currently in charge of Congress... I get it. Carry on.

I dont hate Merc...I think he and the double standards of some here are a joke.

If you want to accuse Shawnee of "hating away" and ignore Merc's hateful posts, that is your choice, just as it is mine to point out the double standard.

About this whole stopping people in the street, I personally can see both sides of the coin, but what it would come down to for me is that if you're in the country legally, you've got nothing to worry about.

I wouldn't have a problem with that happening over here, and it's not that I'm against immigration or refugees. It's simply because if people are here, they should be registered for healthcare and taxation etc so that they can contribute to our society.

People worry about too many refugees coming into Australia from or through Asia to the north lately, but I feel in all honesty that our nation - being pretty wealthy in comparison to most - that we could afford to help more. I am definitely against illegal immigration though. Not only for the reasons stated above, but also because of diseases both to our people but also our native flora and fauna which is precious.

I can't agree more.

But first we need to snap the borders shut.

Then we deal with those who are already here.

You can say the same thing about wiretapping...:if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

Except for the Constitution.

The Constitution deals with American Citizens. Not people from Poland, not people from Russia, not people from Mexico.

My views on wiretapping are basically the same. Unless you're plotting something they're going to have a pretty boring old time listening to most people's private conversations.

Our constitution is a bit different to yours, and most people here don't have the same sort of views about it as people in the US. In fact, most people just want to live their life and do their thing and not worry about too much at all. People mostly don't even bother getting involved unless it affects them directly.
