Two things you have to keep in mind about illegal immigration -
1) It costs this country $$$$. Illegal immigrants benefit from hospital and school benefits regardless of their residency status. These are just a few of the benefits they receive. Who pays for it? You, the legal residents of this country who pay income, property, and other related taxes
2) Anyone who lives here illegally is also breaking the "law" of the land.

Double Standard
Why does Rev Wright thinks he has a free pass to public scrutiny? Any logical intelligent thinking person knows that when one makes comments that have political interpretations often yields himself to public scrutiny. One does not have to be an elected politician to be a politician.
The irony of this whole issue is that when the "tough gets going" Rev Wright retrieves to the "race card." For someone to have the audacity to say that such criticism of his comments is an "attack" on black churches is insulting? This is the USA and we are allowed to criticise. We do not live is some socialist or communist regime that prohibits the free exchange of ideas.
The same can be said for Barack Hussein Obama. Some supporters have gone to suggest that those who criticise the senator as "racists." What in the world? There is not a magical carpet ride to the White House.
If Rev Wright or Sen Obama cannot take the heat then perhaps they should step aside and let representative democracy proceed.

Who is going to pay for it?
Clinton and Obama promise to save the American people from the economic woes of today? The question is who is going to pay for it?
Your guess is as good as mine? You.....the taxpaying people of America? So, the next time you hear Clinton or Obama mention their economic strategy, remember it will come from your paycheck.

U.S.Presidency: Entitlement?
The run for the White House between the two leading Democratic candidates is 'not all that' the media makes us to believe.
True one is "black" and the other is a "woman," but what else? Are we smitten by this dream to have the first "black" or the first "woman" at the helm of this country that we forget that the job itself is not for everyone. There is an attitude of entitlement by some to see either a Obama or Clinton Presidency become a reality that all sense of "common sense" is lost.
Obama's claim to fame is his "blackness," while Clinton's ride is based on the past with her husband's term in office. Neither of these claim should be the ticket to the White House. Obama is mesmorizing us with "CHANGE," while Clinton seems to think we can turn back to the "90s." Why does Obama think that we all want "Change." Any change that may come as a result of a Obama White House will most likely leave the American people with less change in their pockets. A Clinton White House will expose the American public once again with the "experience" of big government and special interest groups.
Being black or female is not an entitlement to the Office of the U.S. President. While historical as it may be to be the first black or woman in the White House, it does NOT signify qualification to be the U.S. President.
The irony is that the Republican Party does not offer a better alternative. John McCain has no executive experience neither does he represent principles of conservatism that will elevate this country for the better.
For me, I may have to close my eyes at the voting booth and pray that I select the lesser of both evils.
