"Immigration" and "Customs" are two distinct missions, so that's a lot of "mission" for the size of force charged to do it.

What's worse is that it appears that ICE is charged with two OPPOSITE missions:

1) Carrying out the federal mandate of facilitaing the immigration of foreign workers
2) Limiting illegals.

The national priority clearly appears to be number 1.

This reminds me of cities that have the Economic Development function in the same department as planning, permits and code enforcement. It appears to be a clear conflict of interest.

"It's my party, and I'll cry if I want to..."

Not sure if that's attributable to both Leslie Gore and Hillary Clinton.....

That's the easy stuff. The hard thing is trying to work within the laws passed by Congress which give multiple agencies the same issuance and enforcement authorities (so one can say yes, and the other say no on the same issue). Today's "Book of Laws" reads like Catch-22.

There are less than eight months until the election, an election that will decide the next President of the United States. The person elected will be the president of all Americans, not just Democrats or Republicans.

To show our solidarity as Americans, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice. It's time that we all came together, Democrats and Republicans alike.

If you support Obama or Hillary, please drive with your headlights ON during the day.

If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive with your headlights OFF during the night.

So far on TOTV I've seen "jokes" and commentary regarding:

1. Political parties - members are smart, dumb, insightful, blind, etc.
2. Candidates - attacking or ridiculing their personal beliefs, their ages, occasional errors during speeches
3. Religion in general - demeaning others' beliefs, ceremonies, attitudes
4. Gender - linking hair color, age, and [the list is too long....] to silliness
5. Ethnicity - linking [the list is too long....] groups to dumb acts

I guess "humor" spans the gamut, and what some (usually not of the referenced persuasion) consider "funny" is despicable to others (usually of the referenced persuasion). The aggrieved are usually expected to "get over it," especially regarding # 3, 4 and 5 above.

It's also peculiar that what passes so often as "humor" when delivered by a non-candidate would be tantamount to heresy should any candidate whisper anything similar, with the rope, tar and feathers coming from most quarters.

I guess the conduct and deportment standards we require of the candidates in the public arena (which appears to be anywhere in earshot) are radically different than what we place upon "ourselves" in forums like TOTV - and should that be so???
