Not buying this pablum, no siree! Paperwork is a way of life, we all deal with it. Can't prove who you are? No bennies! Can't prove you are here legally? NO bennies! Alabama taxpayers (and US taxpayers) are winning here. NO to CIR ever.

Oh, no. The old tomatoes are rotting in the fields argument. Do you really think we'd fall for it just this once?

Sweet home alabama! Love it of coarse the obl'ers are going to focus on the negative aspect of this they're loosing in this state and their only recourse is to talk on those issues.

They don't want you to belive americans can do any of that their too busy selling the idea that we cannot live with out these people!
