Hard to have any love for the postal service when they fill my mailbox with junk mail addressed to current resident. At least email has a spam filter. I tried to opt out but they get really upset and tell you there is no way to opt out. The mailman said the junk mail pays the bills at the USPS these days.

I think you make a good point. I'm no longer a gamer but my 16 year olds are. After upgrading to the latest XBox kinect last year and spending a little over $500 plus games plus bigger hard drives etc... I expect I will not be motivated to 'upgrade' again until this one burns out or just quits working. Now that said it is the third XBox we've had, the original, then the orignal 360, and now this 360 slim + kinect.... each upgrade happened when the previous finally quit working. Anyhow, good point :)

As a parent of two highschool students I read this and can only think how great it would be if my kids could go work in a tech factory for two months. Its only two months. I would hope they would find that factory life is not for them and they would try harder to reach higher goals. I worked in a competitors factory to put myself through college, it was all the motivation I needed.

That said if these students are not getting paid at all then I agree there is a problem there. But the experience is worth something. If I was hiring an engineer to work in a tech factory and had two chinese grads applying, one with zero experience and one with two months in an Apple factory snapping together iPhones and all other qualifications were even; I would choose the applicant wtih the experience, at least he/she knows what they are getting into, or some clue anyway.

Only thing I know for sure related to this story is I wont be applying for Terry's old job. Seems like a bad case of the Bob's over there.

Maybe I had bad info. What I read was he was being re-assigned, not fired, when originally asked for the account info.

Dont get me wrong, I think the potential of 5 years in prison is extreme for this type of situation.

Freaking hilarious! Who the hell could be entertained playing a digital puffing game on an tiny little screen???? LOL forget the screen size, how can an app like this hold anyones attention at all? Moving on.

Well said.

The juror from ADP made a good statement saying that at the very least he could have created another admin account and handed it over instead.

Really though, if he felt that way he would be ethically right to tell them he felt that way but if the boss continues with the request then hand it over. If they go in and ruin the system then he just got a lot of work to do and some extended job security while he builds it again.

You bring up a good point. There has already been one person detained I've heard of and he was a natural born citizen. Tried to find a news article but didnt find it. Im curious to see what process evolves from this to try to make it work.

I have one relative thats native american and have heard the storys of the problems she dealt with. I know that many wrongs dont make a right but some progress has been made. We just gotta keep talking about it and doing things about it until we do come up with a plan that works.

Good luck to you and your wife going forward.

Replying to my own post here.

A few of you have pointed out that I was wrong to include this line, "- Many of us already citizens have fought for and killed for this country, possibly close to you right now; it is NOT a good idea to tell us to get fucked."

Your right, I was wrong. My appologies to everyone offended.

I've enjoyed the interaction here on slashdot and hope to continue. I'll make every effort to keep it dignified regardless of the position I take in any discussion.

Point taken, I agree that was a bad line to put in my post, not well thought out at all. As for lying, lol, wish I was but I'm not. Triage happened just from outside and through a side door.

Your absolutely right about the solution only problem is you have to identify the illegal immigrant before you can fine the employer. Now law enforcement can actually request to see the paperwork that would make them legal. Otherwise your solution is hard to effect. So your energized speech about an 'easy' solution is just hot air without someway to empower the authorities to identify legal vs illegal. Congratulations, this law made your solution possible.

Interresting, what type of work do you do?

Good luck with that.

Good questions, I was trying to reduce the size of my post from book to paragraphs, Im sure you understand :)
I dont know everyones illness obviously, again a very overworked and quite obviously frustrated nurse (again going by appearance but it was memorable) told me to take him outside because we would catch whatever flu's were suspected of filling the room.
I am white and my sons mother is hispanic. He looks hispanic and didnt get treated differently based on skin color but rather his injury. Also those of us sent out to the parking lot were a mix of white and hispanic so that didnt seem to make a difference, the triage was presumably based on injury vs sickness.
I've been to the pharmacys in Mexico and it is much cheaper and easy to get what you need. I also ride road bikes regularly and on a long ride I can see where strep would be a real beast to deal with, especially when your metabolism is racing.
During the 10 years with my sons mother we both put up with racism from each others race. Im not a small guy so my size probably shielded me from some of the more aggressive insults but I still had the 'notifications' that I did not belong.
Interresting you and your wife had to go through the paper trail you went through. I definitely dont deny the system is not perfect.

Your right, it does come across as an ass, should have found a better way to communicate, my appologies. That said, I have served, several enlistments.

First, thank you for that reply. I've lived overseas for years while in the military and followed the rules where ever that was. I agree sometimes its not enjoyable but those are the rules.

I actually think that if put together correctly a public health system funded only by 1 to 1.5% tax would be awesome! In the military healthcare is free but as you likely know, its not always the best. You have to pick what your willing to let the doctors treat sometimes. Digressing but I liked your point and wanted to respond.

Some of these posts get animated and make it difficult to respond without more animation. Just to be clear, my intention was not to say "Go home Asshole" it was to say being an American is tough and if your willing to be here legally then I want you to stand with me and I'll stand with you. You used the word community and that's what it is.

I volunteer a lot of time to the community and you really sound like the type of person who does the same. I'm glad your willing and wanting to be here enough to go through the mess of it.
