Your response does not address my questions. Some children know they are not legal residents. Some children do not. At the end of the day, even if you knew all your life that you were not a lawful resident but from another country, I doubt it would change things much, because you were raised American.

It would generally be violation of State and Federal laws to fire someone who is legally allowed to work in the US due to their immigration status.

You did not even bother to read the article and understand the situation. These are people who are mostly children or young adults. For many, the United States is the only country they have ever known. Most of them had little to no choice in growing up in America. They have followed the instructions and guidance that…

 Maybe you should perform a thought experiment. What if you found out tomorrow that you were not a US citizen and that you were actually from Armenia? What do you think the appropriate response of the government would be to your illegal status? To immediately ship you back to Armenia, a country where you probably…

Do not forget his arteries are clogged with KFC.

It looks good in the window, but Hong Kong style duck is very fatty, like half fat.

Paul Krugman wrote an interesting article calling into question whether the pardon is constitutional. After all, the pardon power, while apparently absolute, was subject to the later revisions of the constitution, including the Bill of Rights.

Because if they were a muscular, handsome, 6'4" white guy with a 140 IQ and a six figure job, they wouldn’t need to use their whiteness to feel good about themselves.

Which is why I think, in most cases, it is counter-productive to call someone or something racist. It will instantly shift the debate from a substantive one like, whether Mexican immigrants are more likely to commit rape (like President Trump claimed) into a non-substantive one.

Those things seem like behaviors common to people who have no idea how to write a research paper.

Also illegal in many places except on a bicycle, motorcycle, or vehicle built before turn-signals were required.

Honorifics are not the same as history.

This pretty much sums up my observations and beliefs. Trump is a senile, old narcissist. The fact that he is somewhat cogent at times does not alter that he has about as much capacity for rational thought as the homeless person you ignore on your way to work that is warning everyone about the lizard people’s plots at…

Our founders, rightly I believe, decided that they did not want the government to have the authority to choose who got to speak freely and who was tossed in prison for espousing an unpopular idea. Given the history of this country and the people in charge right now, I am happy that we have freedom of speech.

This was absolutely insane. Some counter-protesters were there to fight and some protesters were Confederate apologists who were not racists? Sure, but to equate the protesters (who were mostly white supremacists) with the counter-protesters (who mostly were not armed with improvised weapons and firearms), absolutely…

I can only speak for California, but based on the laws regarding citizen’s arrest, I would assume that you can use whatever force is reasonably necessary to remove them. That does not include hitting them with your car, but you could probably get out and pick them up or drag them out of the roadway. That being said, I…

Civil disobedience means owning up to what you did, throwing yourself on the mercy of the courts, and asking for leniency. Unless the law is fundamentally unjust, people should be prepared to be fined or jailed for their disobedience. In some ways, it makes what they did even more heroic.

California’s law regarding freedom of political association does apply to the workplace, although the protections are not as strong as they would be outside of work. I am not aware of any definitive cases in California regarding protection from employer discrimination in this particular regards, so I am not sure…

I think you and a lot of people are confusing freedom of speech with the first amendment. Freedom of speech is a general concept that can apply to any forum. The first amendment is a constitutional guarantee of the legal right to not be censored by the government.

At least in California, State employment law prohibits employers from disciplining employees for their political beliefs or their legal activities outside of work.
