    bullets13 got a reaction from 5GallonBucket in Fences Don't Work?   
    We don't need a fence. We need a system in place that properly taxes immigrants and does not reward them with freebies and handouts when they get here. If someone wants to move to the US and become a productive, taxpaying member of society, great! All of us on here come from families of immigrants, unless we have some pure native Americans on here I don't know about. But their being here should be at a benefit to our country, not a detriment. We should be making tax dollars off of them, not spending tax dollars on them. An aside to that, criminals need to be deported. You want to live here, you get one chance to follow the rules.

    Two people with similar bad ideas from different sides of the aisles doesn't turn it into a good idea. That being said, it's conceivable that there could be benefits from aspects of the plan, but it's been so poorly worked and has so many bad aspects to it that it's hard to find them.

    I get tired of hearing people accuse anyone who doesn't support Obama of being racist. Slow economic recovery, the IRS scandal, Benghazi, Obamacare, handouts, and many other issues are sufficient reasons to not support Obama. Personally, I don't think he's had a successful presidency. This does not make me a racist. The fact that I voted for him in the first election CLEARLY shows that my vote is not affected by race. I often butt heads with conservatives on here because they sometimes post questionable (at best) "news" articles, but the fact that Smitty or Nash or 77 or other similar posters don't support Obama is not race-related either. Why would someone who holds conservative views vote for Obama? It doesn't make sense. Obama could be lily-white and would still not be supported by the majority of this board. Claiming racism does, however, allow one to ignore the real reasons that he is often criticized.

    That being said, had he messed up on his paperwork, why didn't he fix the mistake by voluntarily returning the money that he "accidentally" overcharged? Why did he fight in court to keep the money that he "didn't steal"? And realistically, what company ever was overcharged millions of dollars by a vendor and kept that vendor, whether it was an accident or not. Hell, I had a friend in high school fired for giving his buddies free snow cones, which was costing the company he worked for tens of dollars...

    Was he messing up on his paperwork when he charged the district for $600k worth of expenses incurred for "bucket truck rentals" when his company in fact owned bucket trucks and he didn't have to rent any?

    Clinton showed a willingness to work with both sides of the aisle. We need bipartisanship from whoever ends up in office if things are ever going to improve. Both sides think they're right on every issue, but to fairly represent the vastly different groups in our country compromise is needed.

    Soccer is growing, and it's funny to me how many people seem to have a problem with that fact. I guess because Americans think we should be the best at everything.

    Moderate is a good thing. Although any term describing someone who doesn't believe everything western journalism puts out is a bad word to some on this site. There are plenty of koolaid drinkers on both sides. I think it's funny that republicans and democrats think anyone who chooses not to drink their flavor on every issue is the one that's the sheep.

    As for our possible matchup in the knockout stage, I feel like as much as we got screwed by being in the group of death, they kind of made up for it by making the group we were paired with an easy one. If the US advances they'll be playing a team that IMO would've been the worst team in our group. That being said, that definitely does not guarantee a win.

    Poverty, like so many other things that are blamed on others or "claimed" to be "born that way" is a learned trait. Not to say hard working people can't live in poverty. I'm saying choices in life have prevented them from reaching maximum potential to avoid such circumstances.
