That was great! It shouldn't offend anybody. What is offensive is the notion that there are jobs Americans won't do. It's unfortunate that both candidates for the presidency are on the wrong side of this issue.

I'm not offended!

I read that in this country the high school and college drop out rate is not much different than it was 20 years ago, and if that is true I have only one question. What are those drop puts doing for a living?

Ahoy Sail ... Operation *******

I guess I was referring to someone that might of sailed here across the southern border.

There was an Operation ******* back in the 50's and if you do some searching, before even that. America Needs to Bring Back Operation Wetback*-*borderfirereport.net

Seems that todays politicians are pandering to the illegal vote.
How can this be?

I grew up in Southern California, and as a kid, we had a family of Mexicans living next door. Mr. Hernandez worked hard, and they had the neatest house and yard on the block. They also spoke English in the house. When Grandma Hernandez refused to learn English, she got sent back to Juarez, because Mr. Hernandez felt that if they were going to be Americans, they needed to speak the language of the land.

Pity there aren't more like him. There are fifth and sixth generation American citizens who don't speak a word of English now.

I spent a couple of years in beautiful (not!) McAllen, Texas. If you needed help in the local Wal-Mart, you had to look hard to find someone who spoke even 'Spanglish', let alone English.

I happened to be there for 9-11, and got a huge kick out of listening to the screaming and yelling as the local National Guard Marines parked their 8 wheel mini-tanks at the border crossings and CLOSED the border. Period. It's a damned pity they didn't leave it closed that tight.

Sorry for switching subject for a minute.
I am very interested by your Garmin radar experience. Since this is my first post I cannot send you a PM. I am also in Oceanside, can you please give me your email?
Thanks
