It may be a part of the problem, but there are many more issues that have caused a downturn in the number of father/mother combination households.
A change in priorities. Both men and women are more likely to put other things before family. Money, drugs, sex, fun, and freedom have made people decide they didn't want a marriage. Some divorced, some never married.
It has become more acceptable for a single woman to be pregnant. When Murphy Brown got pregnant there was a large cry for the show to be cancelled. When Rachel on Friends got pregnant there was very little said about it.
Men have decided it is better to spread their seed with multiple women and then leave it up to the woman to care for the children. I know several guys who had 3 babies born to 3 different mothers in the same year. After they get te woman pregnant, they are gone again and out having fun.
I know a lesbian couple that adopted a child. I am very close friends with one of the ladies brothers. That child has two parents who love him and care for him. He is better off than a lot of kids whose daddy is out drinking or using drugs or is just gone. This kid is still young, and later in life he may have a harder time, but for now he is a heck of a baseball player and a good well mannered kid. His uncle and I have talked a couple of times about it and wonder if he realizes he is the only black kid in school with two white mommies and no daddy.

Well heck, I guess that makes him a good president then. His poll numbers should go up drastically if he said "shake dem haters off"! I know I am ready to bow down and name him king now!! What a powerful platform he has. Lie, act like nothing is happening, and then come out with powerful ideas like this. Wow, what a leader!!

Exactly! So quit asking what Bush, Reagan, Clinton, Bush, Kennedy, or George Washington did about something. Obama is president and is the only one who can do things right now as president. When he does wrong, it is his fault. If he ever does something good, it will be his praise.

Are you guys going to continue to ignore my question?

No, I would be okay with them not being in the country. I don't want them here paying out of state tuition either. 
 
None of that has anything to do with you trying to make (for several weeks) a correlation between the Obama Dream Act and the Texas in state tuition law. You are trying to make it show that if Perry does it, it is okay but if Obama does it, it is wrong. You have the apples and oranges problem of comparing two different things where one has almost nothing to do with the other. 

No, the teabagger Jesus, oddly enough is Jesus!

Spying on Americans by our government without proper warrants is always bad. Using the guise of it being for security is no excuse. Bad people will do bad things. We will never be able to completely eliminate this problem. Justice for such an act should be swift and complete. If it is state sponsored or allowed to happen because a country allows terrorists to train and prosper in their country, when those terrorists hurt Americans, we should wipe out the leaders of that country along with the terrorists. Make the country responsible for what happens in their territory. If the terrorists are Americans, then they should be taken to the courthouse square and hung upon capture.

Great non-partisan website. I would call it the snopes of all things political.

Except for the fact that when a state tries to enforce immigration laws, Eric Holder and Obama's justice department sues the state over it. So in answer to your question (see how that works), no a state cannot handle it. Besides, since you won't answer the question I have repeatedly asked you, I will answer for you. One of the few legitimate jobs the federal government has is to secure the borders and protect the country militarily.

Am I wrong in thinking each of these countries the illegal immigrants are coming from have an embassy or consulate somewhere in Texas or the southwestern U.S.?
I can solve most of our problems with immigration for little cost to the U.S. When we catch illegal immigrants in the U.S., regardless of their home country, take them to their embassy and place them inside. These embassies are considered part of their country, so we are returning them to their country. Put the national guard, border patrol, whoever, outside the embassy to keep the illegals from leaving. After a few thousand are in place, the diplomats from these countries will figure out how to get them back to their homes, and their governments will stop the problem, because they will be the one paying for it, instead of us. Doesn't matter then if they come from Mexico, El Salvadore, Guatemala, or Iran, it is a short ride back home that we are paying for!

Sadly there are people voting for both sides that are voting for reasons that are not related to the issues or have very little information about the candidates. There were people in the last two presidential elections that voted for and against Obama because of his race. There were people who wouldn't vote for Romney because of his religion. Probably some Mormons who voted for him because of his religion also. Truth be known, if you actually gave a test (like they used in the south to keep negros from voting in the past) very few people would pass and be able to vote for either side. That is not the way our country is supposed to work. We are all supposed to be equal under the laws and our constitution. So, we will always have people voting that don't understand what they are voting for or why they are voting for it. We can only hope that this is a small percentage of the voters. The problem is that our current news media only tells the side of the story they want people to hear. So the amount of people who have factual information that is not biased is shrinking.
Now, the other problem is that the Democrats have figured out the system and are out playing the Republicans in the game of politics. They have figured out ways to gather large numbers of these voters and get them to the voting booth. It is the right of these people to vote! We cannot take that away from them. However, it is pretty sad that the Democrats will stoop to this level to support their candidates. If they actually helped these people after the election would be one thing, but they just use them and promise them things, then turn their backs on them as soon as they have got the political gain from them. It all comes down to what are you willing to do to win an election?

I see the two issues, immigration and birth control as connected. Since all of the democrats are aborting babies and taking the morning after pills they had to find some way to replenish the democrat voter pool. Hence we open the border to people wanting free stuff, and walla instant democrats. Now if the racist people would just let the illegals vote instead of profiling them because they are not Americans, we could really change America!

He refuses to compromise or even negotiate with any differing opinion.

Happy 4th of July!!
Let's all remember what we are celebrating. Freedom from taxation without representation. Freedom of speech,even if you don't like what is being said!
Freedom of religion.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

But now they are, and you live in a country where you are free to choose the path that your life will take. What choice will you make?
Wait for the government to make everything "right" and sit around whining about it?
Or, work hard to get better things for yourself and start earning a fortune for you and your descendants?

Just out of curiosity, do you think Oprah Winfrey, Herman Cain, or Michael Jordan's ancestors were better off than yours? Maybe they should have sat around whining about it. Probably would have worked out better for them than the path they chose! Don't you think?
