About 3 weeks ago a friend of mine who originated from Mexico got stopped by a cop for an out-of-date license plate of which was on automatic renewal with his insurance company but had run out. He thought he was still insured.

I am all about departing all the gang related immigrants and also any here just too lazy to work. When they opened the flood gates the US inherited lots of losers and quite a lot that want to do harm to America. But for the ones here that simply want a better life for them and their families and willing to work hard and not get in any trouble such as a felony, I am for them being able to stay in the US.

They did do something illegal by crossing the border without proper documentation. So, in my opinion fine them $10,000.00 for coming here illegal and if they work here the next 10 years straight without any major issues then after the 10 years let them at that point apply for citizenship.

Oh, you will hear others say and even the government say they are taking American jobs away from them. I challenge you in my area to find a white boy or any other American that really wants a job and cannot find one. All the ones that want to work have jobs. Look around at any group of workers whether it is the highway department, cement crews, fence builders and the list goes on, and you find very few white people doing that kind of work. Mainly because it is work. And a lot of their wives are good care takers for the elderly. They also gladly work in restaurants and lots of other jobs. If you agree contact your politicians to push that idea higher up the ladder.

A woman has sued a hospital stating that after recent treatment her husband has lost interest in bed. The hospital in their defense stated – all we did was correct his eyesight.

My neighbor says he’s divorcing his wife. He said that woman has a whale tattooed on her rear. I said that is a silly reason to get divorced. He said dude it was a dolphin when we got married.
