Mike Honda supports giving OUR tax dollars to illegal immigrants in the form of social services.

Why should we feel sorry for families that are split up because they VIOLATED our laws and are deported. That's called PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY, something you rarely hear a Socialist/Democrat ever say.

If the fact that an unidentified man is standing in from of a polling place with a weapon isn't enough for you to "know" then I don't believe anything will convince you.

BTW, that's not Fox News speaking on that video, that's a concerned University student sticking up for your voting rights. You should hope that Eric Holder would do the same, which he isn't.

And for that matter, Eric Holder doesn't have to personally prosecute every crime in the USA (i.e. fish to fry). I've been in the Justice department building, they have plenty of attorneys in that building who can do this task.

Joe Arpaio is acting entirely within State and Federal Law. The Feds have even paid for the training of his deputies to carry out this work.

A sure sign of a left wing kook is the substitution of Faux for Fox. It is a childish attempt at ridicule. I use it as my signal to stop reading and ignore the person. If you wish to continue this discussion please re-post using adult language.

Put this in your garlic milkshake- 164 Charities Benefit
Gilroy Garlic Festival Surpasses$8.5 Million Distribution Mark
GILROY, California – The Gilroy Garlic Festival Association will distribute $240,000 to 164 participating nonprofit organizations from revenue generated at the July event, 2009 Festival Association President Kirsten Carr announced today. The Festival, which celebrated its 31st anniversary this year, has now provided $8,525,322 to local organizations through its innovative Volunteer Equity Program. Regarded as America ’s premier summertime food festival, the three-day extravaganza entertained 108,519 worldwide visitors and an international media contingent at Christmas Hill Park . More than 4,000 volunteers represented local charities and provided the event’s nationally recognized work force.




Among the 2009 recipients were South Valley Community Church with $13,738.35, the Gilroy Elks Lodge with $8,574.74 and the Orchard Valley Soccer Pumas with $7,325.89. Overall, groups affiliated with the Gilroy Unified School District earned a total of $71,546.48.



Additionally, groups and teams representing Christopher High School earned $6,993.22. Christopher High opened in August 2009 and was named in honor of Garlic Festival co-founder and South County farmer Don Christopher.



“For 31 years we have been able to provide a top-notch, affordable, family-friendly festival that not only entertains attendees but also provides necessary funds that benefit local nonprofits for the entire year,” Carr said. “I am so proud to be part of an event that includes thousands of volunteers working together to benefit the community while also throwing an incredible three-day party. In a time when nonprofits worry about keeping their doors open, we are thrilled to be able to assist them in helping others.”



The 32nd Gilroy Garlic Festival is scheduled for July 23-25, 2010.

I read H.R. 3221. Please provide the page, section, and clause where it explicitly states 'no cost to taxpayers'. And, BTW, to whoever said that voting for this bill cut all federal funding to ACORN. Wrong, Mr. Honda voted to continue to fund ACORN, an organization that takes taxpayers money to provide education on tax evasion, how to run a ... Read Moreprostitution ring, as well as human trafficking. Has anyone ever heard of RICO? One would think this warrants a federal investigation. Even President Obama issued a statement that ACORN is a rotten nut. Bad, Mr. Honda, Bad.

Then why have California schools gone from being some of the best in the nation to some of the worst? California is in the top 5 states spending more per student.

India, Inc discrimination against American IT workers is outrageous. TCS hires 18,000 H-1B Indian IT workers. Imagine that if Hyundai hires 18,000 Koreans and fires all American workers on American soil.

However, with the H1/L1 visa program, TCS, Infosys, Wipro and other Indian consulting firms LEGALLY discriminate,
