Mass deportation of illegal immigrants has been tried before: Operation Wetback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The effort began in California and Arizona, and coordinated 1075 Border Patrol agents, along with state and local police agencies, to mount an aggressive crackdown. Tactics employed included going as far as systematic police sweeps of Mexican-American neighborhoods, and using racial profiling on random stops and ID checks of "Mexican-looking" people in a region with many Native Americans and native Hispanics. In some cases, illegal aliens were deported along with their American-born children. Some 750 agents targeted agricultural areas with a goal of 1,000 apprehensions per day. By the end of July, over 50,000 illegal aliens were caught in the two states. An estimated 488,000 illegal aliens are believed to have left voluntarily, for fear of being apprehended. By September, 80,000 had been taken into custody in Texas, and the INS estimated that 500,000 to 700,000 had left Texas of their own accord. To discourage illicit re-entry, buses and trains took many deportees deep within Mexican territory before releasing them. Tens of thousands more were deported by two chartered ships: the Emancipation and the Mercurio. The ships ferried them from Port Isabel, Texas, to Veracruz, Mexico, more than 500 mi (800 km) to the south. Some were taken as far as 1000 mi (1600 km). Deportation by sea was ended after seven deportees jumped overboard from the Mercurio and drowned, provoking a mutiny that led to a public outcry in Mexico How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico http://www.csmonitor.com/2006/0706/p09s01-coop.html

News Releases Great Opportunity for Shooting Ranges--$500,000 in Grants from NSSF! NEWTOWN, Conn.—The National Shooting Sports Foundation will award up to $500,000 in grants to help public and private shooting facilities attract more participants. The announcement marks the fourth year NSSF will provide funding to qualifying ranges through its Range Partnership Grant Program. "Having purchased firearms and ammunition in record amounts in last few years, people are excited about target shooting," said Chris Dolnack, NSSF senior vice president and chief marketing officer. "We want ranges to tap into that enthusiasm, and these grants will help shooting range managers test new strategies to attract customers." NSSF encourages the owners and managers of target shooting facilities to review the grant guidelines and, if they have a qualifying program, to apply for assistance. Private shooting ranges must have a public-participation option to qualify. "The best way to increase participation is to enhance and promote shooting opportunities at the local level," said Melissa Schilling, NSSF recruitment and retention manager. "We're looking for unique proposals that motivate people of all ages to enjoy target shooting." Shooting ranges interested in applying for a grant can view case studies of previous grant recipients and learn more about NSSF's Range Partnership Grant Program at Range Grants Fund New Ideas.

Don't forget this part of the law: "...and forcibly enters" another person's residence, business, dwelling, or vehicle and the person defending himself knew of the "unlawful and forcible entry," One has to wonder about the scenerio of an illegal intruder that gains entrance without forcible entry.

Just tried to enter an event for 2011 but the drop down list doesn't include 2011 and it won't let me enter the correct year.

Reelection

Is it too early to discuss whether or not Senator Corker deserves our support?

Federal law states that anyone who distributes classified government documents can be charged with a felony, ergo The New York Times and any other media outlet that reproduced all or part of the documents are guilty. Don't hold your breath for this DOJ to file charges.
