OT: How small is your hometown?

[TerranC]

Tesco: Seoul, South Korea. The Last time I checked

DS: Visted Petersborough (?), Nice Place On the Issue of tourists: Two things.

It's from North America *which is NOT a commodity*
It's probably not easily obtained in Japan.

Gil: ... why did you cap Illegals? Sounds like imposing... ideas...?

Edit: Heh, no U in Petersborough.
Another Edit: I just catched that Carp part. Carps are metioned in lots of Asian mythos; most of the time, on the good side.

TerranC- If you'd like a serious discussion as to why I capped ILLEGALS I'll be happy to accomodate.

[tesco samoa]

ya whats an illegal...

Terran. how old where you when you came to CAN?

I was 4 when I came to Canada

Gil: Nah. I don't want to hijack this thread to start a political discussion. However, I don't believe that Illegal immigrants should be labelled Illegal, and considered like any other immigrants, but did not have an opportunity to sumbit a request to the proper authorities.

Oh look at that, I hijacked it.

Tesco: I was 12. Took a period of 6 months to crash-settle (learn english, eat albertan , and get accustomed to canadian ways )

Man, is that WEAK!
An ILLEGAL is someone who attempts to circumvent the laws of the country by failing to follow the established proceedures for becoming a CITIZEN. If this first occasion of the ILLEGAL encountering one of the basic principles of this nation, that of abiding by the law, is marked with failure to follow the law the one must ask what other laws will the ILLEGAL be willing to cast aside as he/she feels like.
Come on down here for a week or two and I'll be happy to show you areas of desert scrub with no towns or roads for 50 to 100 miles or more where ILLEGALS "don't have a chance to register".
I know with your BANKRUPT, socialist, healthcare system up there you are use to paying for everyone else's service, but down here we feel a bit different over the destination of our EARNED dollars.
Its way past time the world ceased to look on the United States as a Free, all-you-can-eat buffet with one hand grabbing all they can, and then sh*tting on us through word or deed with the other.

P.S. Caught a 2 1/2 trout. Water was glass, breese was welcomed. Didn't even run across the Tagged fish

1. True, from a legal point of view.
2. So what are you saying? Any and Every illegal immigrant has or will use the potential to become a criminal?
3. I'm going to guess that "here" is Near the US-Mexico border? In that case, I know that Illegal border crossings are common, but They really don't have a chance when they pick garbage for food and money.
4. NEAR bankruptcy. Near. Big difference
5. "Give us your poor, Give us your tired, Give us your huddled masses..."
6. Good points.
7. All of those valid points should be sent to the INS. We all know you are having problems over there.
8. Sorry for hijacking this thread.
