First time on a bus? Have you seen their family vehicle? It IS a bus.

Until recently, employers have had limited tools for determining the imigration status of prospective employees. Illegal aliens simply need to buy fake ID, steal someone else's SSN, and they could get by most employers. Employers should make every effort to verify their employees, but until there are harsher penalties for the illegals, and more stringent documentetion for legal residents, they are not totally to blame when the thieving scum impersonate honest citizens.

Send the thieving illegals back where they belong, and solve the unemployment problem in this state in one move. As far as the bogus claim that they are doing jobs Americans won't do, The border jumping cheats keep the wages low by undercutting honest, hard-working citizens. Get rid of the scum, make English the language spoken in the workplace, and Americans would gladly take the jobs.

A crime is a crime, but a person involved is not necessarily a victim.

How about cutting back on the frills? Fancy textbooks (the biggest scam in the 'education' industry0, colorful graphics and decorations, markers and crayons, playground equipment, videos and projectors, are not necessary, they are luxuries. The simplest tools are the only requirements, pencils, paper, books, and most importantly the one thing you can't buy: classroom discipline.

The alleged victim should be denied financial assistance, if his or her actions contributed to their injury. A person who becomes intoxicated and puts him or her self in harms way is no different from the jaywalker who steps into the path of a moving vehicle. No one wants to be injured, no one deserves to be injured, but one must be responsible and accountable for one's actions. That does not absolve the alleged perpetrator. To use the same analogy, if a pedestrian steps into the path of a moving vehicle, and the driver has the ability to stop or avoid the pedestrian but speeds up instead, the driver may share responsibility for the outcome. If the activity truly was not consensual, and the perpetrator had the capacity to know that it was not consensual, the perpetrator should face prosecution. The alleged victim should still bear responsibility for his or her actions, and not be financially compensated or rewarded.

The doctors who ordered unsafe practices should be locked up, stripped of their medical licenses and every cent they have. The nurses and technicians who participated for the last 4 years should also be jailed, and should have their professional licenses and certifications revoked. They should all be tried for attempted murder.

Six patients are known to be victims, with their lives permanently altered by disease. Whether or not they have been given a fatal disease, 40,000 more are also victims, their lives will never be same.

All of us, everyone who hears what went on in that clinic, are also victims. We will have one more burden of fear to overcome each time our good doctors prescribe a test or treatment. How many might decline a lifesaving test, because that fear has tipped the balance.

Unless there is hard evidence to the contrary, I will believe the Henderson police. Their word vs an ice cream vendor who apparently habitually drives contrary to law.

THe "nightmare" should have ended a couple months after Katrina, when the occupants should have moved out of the TEMPORARY shelter provided by FEMA. There is no excuse for a single soul to be living in the trailers this long after Katrina. They should be in hospitals or nursing homes if they are too sick or crazy to work. Any children whose parents will not provide for them should be in foster care or adoption. The remaining occupants shouldn't be moved into other housing, they should be dumped on the street on their lazy backsides, or better yet, put in jail for stealing from hard working taxpayers.
