It would take several lifetimes to get all of these people through the court system.skeneogdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05855442947790013269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20024595.post-70821684188981163452009-01-13T10:05:00.000-08:002009-01-13T10:05:00.000-08:00living in California, like you, we truly feel big ...living in California, like you, we truly feel big effects of the illegal immigration; I'm all for people legitimately coming here and wanting to play by the rules; I don't care for those that choose not to play by the rules and my biggest gripe is if you are going to come to a new country, learn the language. My sister/family are living in the Netherlands for a couple of years due to her hubby's work; she doesn't get an interpreter if she needs to take care of business there; its almost a right here to expect an interpreter.....something wrong with that picture<BR/><BR/>bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
