My thoughts, my views and my actions are all based on what is legal i.e., not a crime and not punishable by law.

Nena divina, you said you came here illegally....hence doing anything illegal is a crime...you just got away with it. An illegal alien is an illegal alien, an imigrant is not ILLEGAL, therefore it is not I who is ignorant. Once again, despite going to UC Berkeley, you don't understand the difference between the words legal, illegal and immigrant.
You and your family arrived illegally and have lived here...that is basically an uncaught crime, whether or not you are giving back to the United States of America, it should not be pardoned It's like the person who robs a bank and gives the money to charity. Though in the end the robber did a good thing, initially a crime was committed. Get it.
Oh and btw, never said Mexico was ugly...could care less about Mexico or any other country. And bringing in the extent of my travels has absolutely nor bearing on anything. As a legal American upon birth, I said close the borders and closing the borders does not mean to just Mexico it means to all people sneaking in illegally. I love my country and I like many Americans do not want any illegal aliens here reaping the benefits of my country without giving back I do not discriminate against ILLEGAL ALIENS, I do not like any of them whether they be Mexican, Russian, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Polish, German, Middle Eastern etc.

I pray for Cole's swift and safe return and will light a candle in Church to guide him home.

A blog. This is a blog for thoughts, prayers and well wishes. No one is saying anything out of line here, we are stating our views about Cole, our borders and criminal thugs and that is exactly who has kidnapped this child a deal drugging thug who came into this country illegally to get their money back from Cole's grandfather and they could not find him or the money so they took the child. Now if the borders was sealed, thereby prohibiting access in, I'm sure Cole would be sitting home right now in front of his tv watching Saturday morning cartoons and I would bet my life on it that his mother wishes the borders had been sealed too. Her father was involved...she was not.

My prayers and thoughts are with the Puffinburgers for Cole's swift and safe return.

Nah, I'm not going to flag it as I don't want to get up off my soapbox to do so, nor am I the blog police. I do however, doubt the family is reading this blog, but it's really nice of you and everyone else on this blog striving to keep this blog free of poltical party choice or opinions. Yes a child is missing, has been kidnapped by drug cartelling thugs, of which his grandfather is involved with, but DIRECTLY POLITICS are involved, no matter what anyone's choice of party is. OUR BORDERS NEED TO BE SEALED ... to keep the THUGS out. Thugs won't contribute to anything more than crime. ILLEGAL ALIENS have no right to be here. The key word is ILLEGAL...meaning not allowed....meaning punishable by law.... and that comment was meant for you Nenadivina cause apparently, despite going to UC Berkeley, you seem to have a problem with the meaning ILLEGAL. We need to start taking care of our own, like COLE PUFFINBURGER, my children, your children and the AMERICAN CHILDREN and AMERICAN ELDERS and seal up the borders.

My prayers are with the Puffinburgers for Cole's swift and safe return.

Oh and just for the record the word ILLEGAL is another way of saying NOT LEGAL. The last time I checked, when someone does something illegal it is punishable by law...whether the CRIME be robbery, kidnapping, or ILLEGALLY smuggling your body into the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. ILLEGAL is ILLEGAl, even if you have finally achieved a law degree, or are a practicing doctor or a drug cartel. The key word here is ILLEGAL.

Excuse me but I'm going to but in here

Yes, first the issue is a missing child and we should all pray for his safe return and keep our eyes open.

Second, this is a blog to post what we want, within respecful limits to each other and I am outraged that redferret would post this to Neiman1

Post By redferret to Neiman at 10/17/08 at 8:05 a.m.
"I personally hope that some huge tragedy happens to you (meaning Neiman1) and your family (Neiman1's family)."

Your comment to that person was grossly disgusting and quite disturbing and you should absolutely be ashamed of yourself to wish harm on him and his family and to boot, post it.

Redferret, while I am praying for Cole's safe return, I will also throw in a pray for your hostile, hate-filled soul.

The reason why people bring up politics, unsealed borders and illegal immigrants is because DIRECTLY those issue are the result of AN INNOCENT CHILD BEING KIDNAPPED. We NEED TO learn from these mistakes. Today it is the Puffinburger family and tomorrow it could be mine or yours (though I am aware the grandfather was involved in this drug cartel).

PRAY FOR THIS INNOCENT ADORABLE AMERICAN CHILD.

I have read that the kidnappers are part of a mexican drug cartel and the grandfather of this little boy is involved. The grandfather has not lived at the address that his grandson was taken from since May 2007 and since that time has been in hiding as he stole money from these Mexican thugs...MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. So now the Mexican thugs have taken this child in retaliation thinking maybe the grandfather will come out of hiding and give back the money. Pray for this child.
