How many of our own citizens need jobs? On top of the 3 million who were homeless or marginally homeless, there are an additional 5 million poor people that spend over half of their incomes on housing, leaving them on the verge of homelessness. A missed paycheck, a health crisis, or an unpaid bill can easily push poor families over the edge into homelessness.

With 7 million Americans "officially" unemployed and tens of millions more who would seek jobs if they were more readily available, the time has come for a national debate about job creation. Was the right to work laws to help the unemployed get jobs, or are they so companies could hire illegal aleins.

This problem is raising serious questions and it will need addressing now and in the future.

Lots of americans have through the years been asking their congress to pass laws to solve the criminal problem.The congress needs to pass laws to punish the americans and companys for hiring chrimnals.No jobs! No need to come here.

After 9/11, the crimnals represent a real threat of harming our citizens.

Please send this to your congressman and 2 senator's and also the Whitehouse. Ask the congress not to reward crimnals by making them citizens thereby insulting those of us Made in America and those who truly want to be american citizens by going through the process as many have done before.

Put the US back in USA.

Hispanics do jobs others in U.S. "won't stand for"

By Andrea Hopkins

CINCINNATI (Reuters) - As President George W. Bush's plans for a guest worker program languishes in a backlash against immigration, employers both large and small say they rely on Hispanic workers to keep the economy running.

Landscaper Fred Hollmann jumps through legal hoops every year to bring a handful of Hispanics to work in yards and gardens in southwest Ohio.

This year, he could only get six temporary work visas for non citizens. "They work hard, they show up every day," said Hollman. "I'd love to hire more."

Criticized on one hand for taking jobs from unemployed Americans or for working too cheaply, Latinos are complimented on the other for doing work others won't do -- a tightrope where stereotypes seem to work both for and against them.

"The stereotype of immigrants, particularly Latino immigrants, is that they're willing to work harder," said Paul Ong, a professor of urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Bed and breakfast owner Karin Baldwin-Carroll said Hispanics came to her rescue last year after she moved to Kentucky from Arizona. When workers who were supposed to help unload the moving van didn't show up, she and her husband scrambled to find replacements.

Within an hour, five Hispanic men who normally work for a bricklayer hired on for the job. They unloaded the truck with three hours to spare for $10 an hour -- about double the minimum wage -- and said they'd be happy to help the Carrolls with future jobs.

They do their job and do it well," said Baldwin-Carroll.

115 FAHRENHEIT

At the Macehualli Work Center in Phoenix, a steady stream of contractors and private employers start rolling up before dawn to hire Mexican and Central American day laborers.

"They are not coming for cheap labor, but for quality labor," coordinator Salvador Reza said as workers sat in patio chairs and sipped coffee while waiting to be hired.

They'll work in extreme temperatures, in 115 degree (46 Celsius) weather, and most people won't stand for that. They do it because they really want to feed their families."

Retiree Lance Barklen pulled up at the center looking for someone to do some landscaping at his daughter's house.

"It's difficult to find people just for one day, but they do a good job. I pay them $10 an hour, and they're worth it," he said as he looked for a laborer who spoke some English.

Need a petition started to congress to put the people who hire the criminals in jail.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Prince Harry, a 2006 graduate of Britain's prestigious Sandhurst military academy, will soon go to Iraq with his military unit, a British military source told CNN.

The posting to Iraq, something Prince Harry has been actively seeking since being commissioned, is expected in April or May, the unidentified military source told CNN.

The exact timing of the prince's arrival in Iraq is uncertain because of security precautions, the source said.

British newspaper The Daily Mirror -- also citing an unnamed military official -- reported the 22-year-old royal will be deployed along with his regiment near Basra, Iraq.

British Defense Secretary Des Browne is expected to announce February 26 that the prince, third in line to the throne, will accompany his troops to southern Iraq, according to CNN's source and the source quoted by the Mirror.

A royal family spokesman was unavailable for comment Saturday and a spokesman for the Defense Ministry told CNN that press reports about the prince's assignment are speculative, saying upcoming Iraq deployments had yet to be finalized.

Prince Harry is known as Troop Leader Wales by his Blues and Royals regiment. He has trained to command 11 soldiers and four Scimitar tanks.

Harry's military service continues a royal family tradition.

His father, Prince Charles, was a pilot with the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy. Harry's grandfather, Prince Philip, had a distinguished career in the Royal Navy. Harry's uncle, Prince Andrew, was a Royal Navy pilot and served in the Falklands War against Argentina.

As the second in line to the British crown, Harry's older brother, William -- while also a military officer -- is not eligible for combat service.

Weird how some{Brits} support the country of their Birth and some{Americans} just hate it and the leaders.

Associated Press----------Fox newsLONDON — Anyone with an Internet connection can watch videos of bombings and sniper attacks against U.S. forces — shot and edited by Islamic militants and broadcast on YouTube, the world's largest video-sharing Web site.

With the global spread of high-speed Internet connections and the relative anonymity afforded by the world's biggest and busiest sites, extremists have found a new theater to display violence and anti-American propaganda.

On Friday, prosecutors in Britain charged six suspects in an alleged plot to kidnap and kill a British soldier — an act that police allege was intended to be recorded and posted on the Internet.

McMissile' Moment Lands Mom in Jail
Driver Gets Felony Conviction For Tossing Cup of Ice Into Car

To the locals, it's the "McMissile" case.

And like the name, the details of it spill forth like a bad joke: A woman is driving north on Interstate 95. Three kids squirm in the back seat, and her sister, six months pregnant and having early contractions, sits in the front. The stress starts to simmer. Traffic slows, then crawls, then creeps. More stress. A car cuts in front of her, then scoots away. A short time later, it darts in again. She can no longer take it. She veers onto the shoulder and speeds up. Wham! She tosses a large McDonald's cup filled with ice into the other car.

"From my side, I heard a whoomp," recalled the woman's sister, LaJeanna Porter, 27. "I was like, 'I know you didn't throw that cup.' She said, 'Yes I did.' "

Neither woman foresaw the seemingly supersize repercussions of that misguided moment July 2.

No one was injured, but the cup launcher, Jessica Hall, 25, of Jacksonville, N.C., was charged and convicted by a Stafford County jury of maliciously throwing a missile into an occupied vehicle, a felony in Virginia. The instructions given to the jury said that "any physical object can be considered a missile. A missile can be propelled by any force, including throwing."

Hall, a mother of three young children whose husband is serving his third tour in Iraq, has spent more than a month in jail.

The jury sentenced her to two years in prison, the minimum, and a judge will formally impose a sentence Wednesday. Under state law, the judge can only decrease the jury's sentence.
