Its a felony for a male US resident (not citizen, but anyone living here not on a foreign Visa) ages 18-36 to register for the draft. Maybe with the Sec of Defense's position on women in combat, that will be made into men and women, but that's another debate. <br /><br />I could not get into a state school without showing my selective service card, so how are there Dream Actors getting by without showing theirs?Ghoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099647823915879139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-37664496592673784932013-01-29T14:31:13.515-05:002013-01-29T14:31:13.515-05:00I believe that illegal aliens should not be given ...I believe that illegal aliens should not be given the opportunity to become citizens until they have completed their civic duty and paid all back income taxes from the time they started working.

I know this personally because it took my mother five years to get her U.S. Citizenship even though she was already living in the country for thirty years. Why did it take so long, dunno, but maybe they should do something to improve upon the system instead of it taking years to produce.<br /><br />I believe the goal should be something that will last for years and not something we have to visit again in thirty years for another generation.

I see no reason to believe that has changed or is changing, and this issue more than most is of little real consequence to him ideologically. The result is, I suspect, that he will once again maneuver to make the Republican party appear to be a force that must be marginalized or eliminated. <br /><br />Virtually every modern president has forged strategic alliances with select members of the opposition party in order to obtain bipartisan support for his policies. Obama is alone in not having done so. Instead he has publicly insulted and demeaned Republican leaders in a very personal fashion -action which is virtually guaranteed to prevent the alliances that make real bipartisan action possible. When bipartisan action has appeared within reach he has taken direct action to scuttle it -insisting at the 11th hour on provisions that he KNOWS won't be acceptable, after Democrats and Republicans have already reached compromise agreement There is almost no trust left between the President and Republican members of Congress as a result. <br /><br />To call for change to what they've reached after having engaged NEITHER SIDE on the issue previously is precisely what he has done in the past in order to sink bipartisan deals. There is little reason to believe that he's not doing so again.<br /><br />In that environment <br />I don't believe that he <br />I wish I were wrong, but I suspect I am not.Tandemfusionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187420631575722171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-5937559312646331882013-01-29T12:19:24.790-05:002013-01-29T12:19:24.790-05:00This is already a joke.

You have folk who have become citizens the right way, which takes years and now the govt does this back door move to allow illegals who brokes laws to become citizens.<br /><br />I'm not even going to gripe about it becuase my opinion wont mean much in the end but I just hope that my increased taxes dont go to fund anything for those who are not citizens or who don't pay their own share.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13118847633444018164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7536140049505603887.post-3630086938738790792013-01-29T11:32:44.021-05:002013-01-29T11:32:44.021-05:00Knowing Obama, he will demand immediate citizenshi...Knowing Obama, he will demand immediate citizenship for 11 million undocumented Democrats because in his mind it is a human right. And of course then he'll institute cuts to border security that might stop or slow down the influx of new voters.
