How do we solve the immigration problem? Take U.S. foreign aid to Mexico and give it directly to the illegal immigrants that are here. You have an amnesty for illegals to turn themselves in and receive a % of the aid that would go to Mexico. If they turn themselves in they would be able to get a small business loan to open a business in Mexico as long as they make all their employees speak English. After a period of time as a responsible person, repaying the loans they would get on the list to become an American citizen. If they don't volunteer to turn them selves in they will be deported with nothing. We need to get a handle on this problem.
Estimates are that 1 billion dollars a year are spent on health care, another billion on education and 25% of the people in jail are illegals. A portion of the savings in these three areas could go toward paying for repatriation.

..."Part of this consensus process involves educating the entire community, including community leaders, concerning the new and old methods for mitigating hurricane and flooding hazards. This process must include full consideration of both structural mitigation actions and non-structural actions. There are of number of structural actions to be considered including strengthening the existing levees to resist a category 4 or 5 hurricane, building storm water diversion canals, enhancing and/or expanding the existing pumping system and dune reconstruction.
But these structural actions alone will not solve the problem. Non-structural actions such as restoring the wetlands below New Orleans, conserving existing wetlands throughout the Gulf Coast region, upgrading and strictly enforcing building codes especially in the area of structural elevation standards must also be considered and incorporated into the recovery plan.

"Fire and Fury on the Euro-Arab Street
The Nation takes stock. Good. If left and right can unite against the external threat, we will have all the time we want to discuss amongst ourselves tax rates, spending, and the scope of government regulation.
"This is the beginning of the war!" a French Muslim boy called out in the middle of the recent riots in Le Blanc Mesnil, just north of Paris.
But is it? Or was the war really going on already?
Few Americans have heard of him, but in Europe, more and more are becoming familiar with the name--and the ideas--of Dyab Abou Jahjah, founder of the now-international Arab European League (AEL) and the Muslim Democratic Party. Handsome, charismatic, well-educated and multilingual, he has the perfect makings of a political leader, or perhaps better said, a man poised to lead a revolution. And he knows it.
More to the point: As the fury of Muslim youth explodes across the landscape of Western Europe, it's time that others know it, too.
The AEL, founded in Belgium in 2000--in other words, before September 2001--now has branches in the Netherlands and France, and intends to spread across the EU, with plans to participate in future European Parliamentary elections as the Muslim Democratic Party. With battle cries like "Whatever Means Necessary" and frequent condemnations of America, Jahjah--who called the 9/11 attacks "sweet revenge"-- recruits Muslim youth to spread his ideology, a vague series of ideas that occasionally appear moderate but, when added together, call for violent resistance, the destruction of Israel and the introduction of Sharia (Islamic) law in Europe.
Most recently, Jahjah issued a public statement supporting Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's declaration calling for Israel to be wiped off the map. "The foundation of Najad's reasoning is intellectually defendable," he writes in English (the statement in its entirety can be found here), "and despite the fact that his regime is no perfect example of political morality, I argue that his position on this matter is the only possible moral one." (Ironically, the man slain filmmaker Theo van Gogh once called "a pimp for Allah" continues his rant with mention of a "mythical racial-religious holy promise by some god in some religious book"--by which, of course, he means the Old Testament. Despite such statements, Jahjah repeatedly insists he has "nothing against the Jews.")
I've thought a lot about Jahjah in the past few days: Jahjah who never condemned the killing of van Gogh by a Dutch Muslim fundamentalist; Jahjah who finds the destruction of Israel "the only possible moral" option; Jahjah who has on several occasions incited riots on the streets of Antwerp and now defends the ongoing rioting of Muslim youth outside of Paris. I've thought of Jahjah as Muslim youths riot, too, in Arhus, Denmark, presumably in protest against the publication in a national newspaper of a cartoon drawing of Mohammed.
As they say, read it all."
