Mr President, Have you no shame?

[hootinholler]

Why are you allowing this to continue?

Why do people have to sue?

I'm sorely disappointed sir.

4. You're very welcome

It's sickening!

"If you don't have enough evidence to charge someone criminally but you think he's illegal, we can make him disappear." Those chilling words were spoken by James Pendergraph, then executive director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Office of State and Local Coordination, at a conference of police and sheriffs in August 2008. Also present was Amnesty International's Sarnata Reynolds, who wrote about the incident in the 2009 report "Jailed Without Justice" and said in an interview, "It was almost surreal being there, particularly being someone from an organization that has worked on disappearances for decades in other countries. I couldn't believe he would say it so boldly, as though it weren't anything wrong."

The President is my age, I was raised to be a republican yet I have to conclude we are SO very different.

I think we need to work on Michelle and her Mom, maybe they can get his attention if we flood her with requests to straighten his ass out.

6. I appreciate this kind of substantive criticism of the president.

It's welcome amidst all the noise and drama of people crowing for Obama's head.

8. Bush locked up a citizen.

In late October 2008, Mark Lyttle, then 31, was held in the Cary office for several hours. Lyttle was born in North Carolina, and the FBI file ICE had obtained on him indicated he was a US citizen. Lyttle used his time in the holding tank attempting to persuade the agents who had plucked him out of the medical misdemeanor section of a nearby prison, where he had been held for seventy-three days, not to follow through on the Cary office's earlier decision to ship him to Mexico. Lyttle is cognitively disabled, has bipolar disorder, speaks no Spanish and has no Mexican relatives. In response to his entreaties, a Cary agent "told me to tell it to the judge," Lyttle said. But Lyttle's charging document from the Cary office includes a box checked next to the boilerplate prohibition: "You may not request a review of this determination by an immigration judge."

But Holder must have been aware of the abuses happening within ICE:

The Obama administration continued to ignore complaints about the LA subfield office known as B-18 until April 1, when Napolitano and Attorney General Eric Holder, as well as ICE officials, were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by the ACLU and the National Immigration Law Center. In September, the parties reached a settlement. The ACLU's Arulanantham said, "I never understood what had to gain. The fact that after we filed the suit they completely fixed it makes it more mysterious" as to why their months of earlier negotiation brought few results. At the time of the lawsuit, he said, the nearby Mira Loma Detention Center had space. When I asked if ICE was trying to punish people by bringing them to B-18, Arulanantham said, "No, no one was targeted," adding, "If it were punitive, it would be less disturbing."

Thanks for giving a damn, Bleever.

12. The first thread is not good enough?

And there is nothing to be outraged about. The title of the other thread proves they are "looking" for something to be outraged over.

13. People often need reminding more than newly informed. Ask a political campaign buying media e.g.

Without threads that are in some way "redundant" - which is what your reply above implies, within seconds of reading very important information, readers are reading something entirely different and have moved on - probably before the importance of the information fully sets in.

14. Thank you for that!

How ya been dude?
