#1 I don't recall that the District of Columbia was ceded as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. So the claim that they, the unassimulated, are just 'reclaiming' lost territory is certainly empty. However, given current circumstances, I'll be more than willing to negotiate the transfer of all the residents, land and property within in the beltway to Mexico.

#7 What a f*n joke. Our politicians are such cowards. I'll make it easy for them:

1. Build a wall that makes that one in China look like a 4th graders matchstick project.

2. Shoot any sappers that try to breach #1 above.

3. No more amnesty talk.

4. Incrementally Deport all illegals still here over the next 10 yrs. To include their anchor offspring and extended illegal families.

5. Cancel any visas to residents of un-friendly countries. Yes, heartless. No, I don't care.

6. Rinse and repeat as needed.

#9 Laugh all you want guys.

I remember in my days at the Phoenix PD when I used to interpret in the field for the officers. I was surprisingly good at it and got sent to advanced training in Spanish (including trips to Mexico to polish the espa~nol).

Want to know something that will make you even more pissed off? We were told that when we read someone his rights we had to bend over backwards to make sure that they understood what everything we were saying meant.

That meant that in order to get "certified" by the department as a Spanish speaker, we had to be able to explain to the ~~guilty bastard~~ hardworking person who simply couldn't get his documentation in order and who dreamed of working for $3 with no bennies what a judge was, what a jury was, etc. Under the law stated above plus several additional court decisions, we were to assume that Spanish speakers had the equivalent of a 3rd grade edumacation and proceed like we were interrogating a child. If we didn't do that and basically act in place of a defense attorney from the start, we could get zinged later for taking advantage of the poor misguided soul's lack of formal training.

It was ok for us to take advantage of someone's stupidity only if they were born here in America.

Have a nice day, kids.
