Laura Ingraham bore even deeper into the depths of stupidity of
unimaginable proportion. Ingraham called Puerto Ricans immigrants.
On her radio show, Ingraham said Associate Supreme Court Justice
Sotomayor’s “allegiance obviously goes to her [Puerto Rican] immigrant
family background and not to the Constitution of the United States.
Puerto Ricans are United States Citizens and are NOT immigrants.
Immigration is defined as "To enter and settle in a country or region
to which one is not native." It says nothing about citizenship.
New Yorkers are immigrating to Texas. (and are just about as welcome)
Whoosh.
Diarrhea? Greg just showed Laura was correct. That went over your head? I don't think so.
The thing is, property and home owners have rights too. They also have
responsibilities that go along with those rights. In many cases a
location is selected to rent or purchase a home based upon the school
system, and general quality of life in which to raise a family. Having
to tip-toe around homeless people living in cardboard boxes is not what
they are paying taxes for.
The homeless have to accept some level of responsibility to get help to
improve their lot in life. Help is available in many areas and provided
by tax funded federal and state government programs, private
organizations and church based shelters that offer a warm place to stay
with employment, health and training assistance. One of the problems
that exists is that a large percentage of homeless individuals *do not*
want to take advantage of these facilities or to even get help. Drug
addicts and alcoholics make up a higher proportion of the homeless than
do the mentally ill or other subgroups and many homeless are in that
position *because* of drug addiction or alcoholism. Like a drug addict
or alcoholic, they must first *want* to get help.
