The Up Side Of Illegal Aliens

Stopped on the way home

Posted by Bill Jempty · Published: February 27, 2008 · Comments (6)

Five illegal aliens who were in the process of deporting themselves, were removed from flights going through Bush Intercontinental Airport. It seems counterintuitive.

"...And They'll Be Happy Little Beaners"

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: January 21, 2008 · Comments (26)

One of the arguments I've heard repeatedly against illegal aliens is that they are an economic burden, that they consume far more in services and resources than they contribute.

What's Portuguese For "Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining?"

Posted by Jay Tea · Published: January 8, 2008 · Comments (9)
