I have been sucking down massive quantities of Margaritas and enjoying their good Mexican food since I was 19 (that was the drinking age in AZ back then). Paul and Linda McCartney used to go in there alot. They always made good strong Margaritas.

JFK could not get his parties nomination today...

When will the IRS go after Tapia? Common knowledge Tapia "sold" these jobs to the illegal aliens Tapia took kickbacks from all of his illegal alien compadres Orale Tapia!

Hm. Can the hotel pay this judgment? If not, it should declare bankruptcy and go out of business. Too bad for those who lose their jobs. Volner's family will get some money out of the sale of assets.

OK, let's pretend you are a member of Congress (hold your nose if necessary). You are most likely a lawyer, and most of your buddies are lawyers. Why would you support a proposal to destroy the livelihood of thousands of your fellow lawyers raking in billions in the tax avoidance field? And in so doing, threaten the mission of the IRS and make yourself its enemy? Simple sounding tax schemes are nothing more than a good way for a political candidate to attract attention. Don't kid yourself that the entrenched and parasitic tax enforcing / avoiding industry will ever allow their hands to be pulled from their current position, namely deep in your pockets. Lawyers take care of lawyers first.

Some years ago, a group of concerned citizens tried to save the Thrifty Block from what's euphemistically called "redevelopment." We failed. The last 19th Century building on Congress was demolished to make way for . . . an empty lot (gifted to Don Bourne for $100 after they paid $100,000 for the demolition). Your Rio Nuevo dollars at work. The experience illuminated the sad truth that Tucson is not run for the benefit of its citizens. Of course it was citizen apathy that allowed this farce to go forward in the face of public outrage (a mile wide and a quarter of an inch deep). Bottom line -- we allowed this farce to happen and we still allow it. Because no one cares enough to stop it. The protesters in the park, the 99%ers, might consider stopping by City Hall sometime and demanding an end to Rio Nothing, which has served only to destroy the Thrifty Block, decimate the green space in front of the library and waste a lot of money.

Keep on rappin, Obamination and we will say hell no to your Maoist garbage. We want America back! Never elect a Harvard elitist!

You never learned what mone is, did ou?

Rich American Patriots United for a Tax Increase http://www.rapufati.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rich-American-Patriots-United-for-a-Tax- Increase/165703286818164 There are others but I don't have links to them.

You're being downright mean, Ken.

We don't need a jobs plan. Obama provided 4 million jobs with his stimulus. Unemployment is under 8 percent because Obama said he would keep it under 8 percent with his government programs. The Health care law provided 400,000 new jobs and reduced the deficit because Nancy Pelosi said so. Joe Biden said the summer of 2010 was recovery summer, so it must be true. Harry Reid says the private sector is just fine, things are great, so we must have more government employees. There you have it, no jobs plan needed. If you folks would just believe the "Hope and Change" then you would know we don't need more job plans.

The liberal democrats keep SCREAMING TAX BUSINESSES and now they are learning why that is not a good idea. We need to get EVERYONE or of office and start over fresh. Make is so that lawyers CANNOT run for any office in the executive or legislative branches of government. There is a reason for the joke that states 99% of the lawyers give the 1% a bad name. They are lying crooks and should not be trusted.

Actually Dick if you look at what President Obama has been doing as far as education goes he is actually being level headed. He didn't get rid of No child left behind in fact he has promoted it further (though he and the liberals won't admit it). He is speaking the truth when he says that changes have to be made before more money is wasted

BHP Copper San Manuel, Double hit, January 2007

How can we reduce our nation's dependence on foreign goods and services, if we are unwilling to produce more of the basic goods and services we require to maintain the American way of life? Rosemont Copper is a 21st century mining operation, which has been specifically designed by Arizonans to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century.

My first impulse was to say "really?". Here is another program said to help that has so many qualifications that it will help very few. How sad. I vote we close all the banks and start over- not really- but I cannot come up with a real solution any more than anyone else has been able to.

I've noticed Gov. Jan Brewer has never once said anything bad about Mr. Fitz. Could it be, she is a lady and finds it beneath her, to throw barbs at a cartoonist who is rude instead of amusing...?

Nice! Many thanks!

since the 'democrats rule' and will it seems in this coming election per the news stories, I expect this to be a 'do over' XXX Free Free Free fee - nothing happens - rules and fines are for the dupes to pay, not the special hero's of the party.

This another WMD story?

"The taxpayers deserve better than this. They absolutely do." Correct, Koz. The taxpayers need to know what happened to the $230 mill and they need to see heads roll. What happened to you, Steve? Been hangin' out with smilin' Bob?

Arizona prints own money to fund AHCCCS see now it is funded of course no doctors or providers will take it but hey 100% coverage

Ah, but the Forest Service did consider our nation's environmental laws, when they granted Arizona Minerals the permit to drill on public lands.

They're saying that Morales is a "law-abiding, contributing member of society". He can't be both law-abiding and contributing. If he has a job and is "contributing", then he is breaking laws.

The Obamaville population will dwindle soon when the night time temps head toward freezing.

Have a fun day at the park MP. As for me I am done wasting time here and am going to spend the rest of my day at my reloading bench. I need to stock up a few thousand rounds .45 ACP.

I wonder if there is another grant to teach tibal cheifs how to not rape boys? Or a grant to teach men how to not kill women who want freedom? Or a grant how to not kill any person not Muslim? There are so many ways to waste $1 million in Afghanistan. We are getting very good at wasting money over there. Come to think of it, I will teach "Wasting Money in Afghanistan" for much less.

Robert G says OK, let's think this out, Harry Reid is the Senate Majority Leader. Why do you think that Hold on now. Harry Reid is the majority leader but the majority party does not *control* the Senate. The Senate has 57+/- declared Democrats, 42 Republicans, and 1 Independent. But the Senate has "Senate Rule 22" which requires 60 votes, not just a simple majority of 51 --- or even 57 --- to proceed with a bill. A bill can be thusly blocked from debate at 2 steps by a so-called filibuster. You can read about the filibuster on the Senate's own web page, here. From that page: --- Almost every bill actually is subject to two potential filibusters before the Senate votes on whether to pass it: first, a filibuster on a motion to proceed to the bill s consideration; and second, after the Senate agrees to this motion, a filibuster on the bill itself. Senate Rule XXII, however, known as the “cloture rule,” enables Senators to end a filibuster on any debatable matter the Senate is considering. Sixteen Senators initiate this process by presenting a motion to end the debate. The Senate does not vote on this cloture motion until the second day after the motion is made. Then it usually requires the votes of at least three- fifths of all Senators (normally 60 votes) to invoke cloture. Invok ing cloture on a proposal to amend the Senates standing rules requires the support of two-thirds of the Senators present and voting. --- Thus 60 votes are needed to move forward *any* piece of legislation in the Senate, regardless of which party has the majority. Senate Republicans have abused this rule continuously for the last 3 years. So why does the Democrat majority not rescind this rule? Because it takes 2/3 (67 votes) to change a Senate rule, even more than the 60 needed for a filibuster! Keeping all 42 members acting in unison, the Senate Republicans have been able to filibuster every piece of legislation put forth by the Dems or promoted by the President. This is unlike any other period in history. So, while the Senate may have 57 declared Democrats --- 6 more than needed for a simple majority ---neither do the Democrats or Harry Reid control the Senate. As usual, there's more to these things that just a few simple words from some media outlet.

Semi retired in Detroit. Records with KidRock lately.Pete Seeger is an American Treasure. He literally changed the World with his actions,songs and words alone. When he was banned from TV, Radio and recording in the McCarthy days (after being in a number one folk/pop group) the only gig he could get was teaching Banjo lessons and songs to public grade school kids, which through this wonderful accident created a whole new Generation of us Pete Seegerite song singing banjo playing Protesters. Ya can't stop the Revolution. Sure hope Bob Dylan gets back with him again for this occupy movement which by the looks of it will grow to be larger than the homeless camps in our city parks during the Great Depression. After all isn't that where we've returned to? Sure could use FDR again. See you at the Parks! ~Cactus Pete

Sure..

This is just another attempt to grab more money to spend on his progressive Marxist agenda. He has no idea of the damage it will do to the us mining industry if the progressives are successful in adding more Taxes. He must be defeated so he can spend more time with his grand children.

Denial of domestic natural resource projects for no other reason than having to deal with actual or perceived negative impacts a project might have on one s community only serves to reinforce many foreigners image of the “Ugly American”, who is selfish, overindulgent and inconsiderate of the implications their self-serving decisions have on the rest of the world. And forcing mining projects overseas, where environmental laws are less stringent or non-existent, just so we can enjoy the benefits that mining provides without dealing with any of its consequences is about as ugly as it gets. I would like to think that Americans would at some point change their attitude with regard to this issue. However, considering the opposition to the Rosemont copper project as well as many other domestic natural resource ventures, this is not going to happen any time soon. All I can only hope for is that those who oppose domestic natural resource projects will some day take a honest look at their motives and come to realize that the rest of the world was not created to solely fulfill their needs.

Dem Romero is best candidate for Ward 1 seat if you like the current ummm, ummm, ummm, corruption!

you mean to tell me that you need to read and do math at a 7th grade level to get into college? talk about setting the bar high. why have any standards/requirements at all if thats the best you can hope for, a 7th grade level. hey, i have an idea, this may sound crazy, but what if the requirement was a 12th grade reading level. i know, i know crazy right?

Video: A Story of Communism and Warning for the US

The story quotes Republican Party chairwoman Carolyn Cox as saying, "...there's nothing he [Rothschild] can do that will satisfy me." Well, at least we now know what the problem really is.

Art Laffer likes the 999 plan and I would give more weight to this famous economist's opinion over some ink stained wretch at the Washington Post who muddies the waters with definitions regarding what to call the corporate tax rate. Art Laffer is most famous because of his discredited theories. If Laffer likes it it must be no good.

Benjam: "Mick D, so you earn enough to pay income tax, good for you,I suspect the greater percentage of that 47% wish they toowere able to EARN more, so they could pay in as well". You know nothing about me. You make it appear I am privilaged. Well I have dyslexia and had a problem in school a bunch of years ago and was listed as a "problem child" That was before we found out that I had dyslixia. I overcame this and graguated form collage with a 3.88 grade point in criminal justice and worked my way up and retried as a Police Chief. If I can do it so can everyone else. They just need to get off the pity trip and make it on their own. No one did it for me. I did it on my own and am now retried with a very good retirement and still paying for the 47%. By the way my parents were not middle class (my dad only had a sixth grade education)!

No it will not. Exporting raw materials and importing them back as finished goods doesn't not decrease the trade deficit. It increases it. No it will not benefit all Americans.

Legal or not, how many people on the site are on food stamps, housing, ahccs, or any kind of assistence from the government? Sure as hell, I am not happy supporting them as well as supporting you too, where can I put a stop to my tax dollars helping legal citizens who are home selling their welfare for drugs, alcohol. I want to separate myself from those people. I could care less if you're legal.

duh

Are you mcribbing us?

Thanks to our effectively being a sanctuary state asking for a drivers license is just about the only way anyone is forced to provide identification. I would love to see the illegals that skip out on rent or trash rental properties added to the list of deportees, but you can't force them to prove their identicification in Arizona. Any illegal is immediately subject to deportation the minute they illegally cross the international border. What is sad is that getting pulled over for a traffic violation is the only legal means we have to identify them. There should be many more cases of idenity theft, another crime where proving your identity is allowed. I have a feeling our prosecuting attorneys are not pursueing those cases aggresively.

Moochers and looters = Wall Street Oaky, I should have included Obama's job czar. Now are you happy?

How about instead of "his agenda" how about the agenda of the American people.What a country it would be if the politicians of the United States actually did "what the people want"

The point is that this administrative requirement is costly to the government and it does not do what it is intended to do. Those that want to cut government waste should embrace the elimination of this process. It would have been helpful for ADS to report the MILLIONS already spent on this failed procedure.

Okay, this more than “smells funny” now. Gary Hayes, Executive Director of the RTA has his own agenda and the RTA Board goes along with him like blind sheep. …no questions asked! READ THE NEWS FOLKS!!! All this information was published in the AZ Daily Star! - Mr. Hayes has engaged in several no-bid contracts that total over half a million dollars of taxpayer money. - Mr. Hayes has family ties to two of those contracts and did not disclose this improper relationship to the RTA Board until it hit the news. - Mr. Hayes consistently “hi jacks” (aka: withholds, delays, etc.) money from other jurisdictions for his own self-centered pleasure but couches it in the name of “saving taxpayer money”. There is no savings/benefit by delaying payment of projects for months. If there was, why is the RTA now in a SHORTFALL??? - Mr. Hayes tried to convince the RTA Board to take over Sun Tran from the City. However, someone advised the public that the decision is not sustainable and would require an additional funding source(s). From AZ Daily Star article, “Several times the RTA Director has noted (and his staff, including RTA's hired/paid consultants) that within five years they will be asking residents for an additional tax, increased user fee, or fuel surcharge...or ALL the above.” - Mr. Hayes has lead the RTA Board down a treacherous financial path full of non- sustainability!!! This is YOUR taxpayer dollars folks!!! Now the RTA has had to sell bonds because they have miscalculated project costs and funding streams!!! I don t know about you but I would appreciate it if the RTA would cease trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. It is exhausting to consistently read (and know) that they are mischaracterizing their ability to forecast project costs and manage funds taxpayer funds appropriately. Now Mr. Hayes wants to tell the City that they too must engage in a no bid contract? What is this guy thinking?? Thankfully the powers that be at the City have seen through Mr. Hayes antics and deceit. Maybe the RTA Board will wise up soon as well???

Has there been any Statement from Grijalva's Office that he is specifically trying to stop the Mining Industry in the US??? If not, you are painting with a rather broad brush with your statement. All businesses have risks. If the Mining Industry does not want to deal with the risks, fine. Let them try some other business.

Here's the other one.

We need to change the state's designation to the "No Copper State" given so many people's opposition to mining. Let's just let Phoenix continue to get all the job growth in the state. The younger folks don't want to live here any longer anyway because Tucson can't provide decent jobs for them.

Right on Mike! I could not agree more. If there was ever a need for a Constitutional Amendment, it would be to overthrow the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling.

Actually, I'd like to expand on this by thanking Karen A. for actually rising to the occasion and answering a question. That being said, based on your answer, I'd say that the problem is really K Street as opposed to Wall Street. Eliminate lobbyists? I think that it' s an outstanding idea. That would be a huge step to getting corporate money out of elections. I understand the frustration at bailed-out banks and companies paying out huge bonuses. However, some of that was contractual and those agreements pre-existed the bailouts. I don't agree with bailouts, and they should have come with conditions forbidding such bonuses if they were accepted (giving the bailed out companies a choice whether to fail or bonus). Capitalism allows well run businesses to succeed and poorly run businesses to fail. That situation was poorly handles. However, those bonuses, while large to a "normal" person, were a drop in the bucket in the corporate world. Bottom line: I don't think that people should have a say in how a business is run or how much they bonus unless they're a shareholder (which is the way that it is). However, if our tax dollars are being used, then the "luxury items" need to go away and that needs to be a condition of any bailout (which should NEVER happen again). None of this is black and white, but I think that people need to not only understand what they're frustrated by, but also have sane, CONSTRUCTIVE, well thought out ideas on how to solve the problem.

Speaking of inserting bullets I just finished locking up the magazine. If my liberal neighbors had the slightest idea of what's in there...

Gag me with a spoon! You don't get deported for a traffic offense, you get deported for being here illegally! The traffic offense, or shoplifting, or whatever, is just how you got spotted as an illegal. Long live ALL of SB 1070.

Herman Cain understands the basics of a “Fair Tax” replacement of a portion of the current IRS income tax. He comes from the business world and has long been exposed to the millions of dollars worth of research already done on the “Fair Tax”. The tax is simply added to the market value of a consumer item or a value of service. Yes, businesses include all of their expenses in the items that are sold to the public; shocking! Many of life’s necessities are exempt from the fair tax. The value added tax was proposed by the Dem Congress to increase revenues. The description probably looks like IRS Form 17000 something, and makes all of the sense of Marcus’ drum roll. In his proposal, Cain lowers income tax that is already overburdened with loopholes. Loopholes that allow some special interest groups and corporations such as G.E. to avoid any taxation would be allowed to participate in government funding through the mandatory flat tax. Those who oppose any change in the current state of taxation seem to go out of the way to not understand new ideas. But, I would hesitate to call Ruth Marcus an elitist for trying to make Herman Cain sound foolish.

Spent lots of time in France (Paris and vicinity). Never had the problems you mentioned or ran into bad attitudes. Maybe it was you !

It's nice that kids can renege on their student loans after 10 years if they're working for the new world order bureaucracy. I don't understand why I had to pay off my student loans now, I should have deferred them longer than 10 years. Also, I see plenty of incentives to further dissolve the family, by abandoning children to state daycare. Of course, it's no longer Americans having those children since it's not pc, it's all the "immigrants," many of whom are illegal. We know whom BO really loves and we know that one way or another, he and his fellow travelers are hell-bent to build that Marxist state.

Perhaps. I for one do not support the protesters because they lack a focus. That stated, I think that the right "doth complain too much" in the words of a ancient poet.

Officials said Friday the long-term care program has critical design flaws that can't be fixed to make it financially self-sustaining. Pass the bill so we know what is in it. Rushing the bill through without proper vetting? Just saying

If this author wants to provide free advertising for her favorite store...fine. But I don't think using the phrases "shopaholic" or "workaholic" or "fill-in-the-blank-aholic" is funny or cute. I find it in rather poor taste. JMHO

The simplicity of a single rate might be the most appealing aspect of the flat tax to taxpayers, but the majority of its benefits would come from broadening the tax base, lowering rates and removing disincentives to save and invest. The biggest downside is that by sharply reducing the rates collected from the highest earners, it would force the lower and middle classes to cover more of the cost of government than under the current system of graduated rates. I wish that all of the liberal press that are screaming that the flat tax is bad, would provide a viable simplified alturnative that provides the same advantages as discribed in the article. It seams that the sole complaint is that the "rich" do not get charged a higher percentage that any other citizen. Higher taxes on the rich will not help balance the budget, it just makes the liberals feel better.

We all pay corporate taxes when we buy their goods, they're imbeded in the price you pay. Alleviate them from the 45% they pay now and they will reduce prices accordingly. Then the sales tax becomes a wash. The beauty of the sales tax is its visibility. It won't be easy to raise because every one is aware of it, unlike the corporate tax. It also takes the power away from congress to pick and choose who they want to reward or punish depending on who donates to their campaigns. For that reason alone we should get rid of the corporate tax altogether. The sales tax will bring in huge revenue from the underground economy which was estimated at $2-Trillion in 2010. The cost of tax compliance to the American economy is $420 Billion. The 9-9-9 plan would be good but the real "Fair Tax" would be better. It would be a panacea for our ailing economy. Find out here

In return, the focus of the loans would be largely on job creation, with guarantees that at least 51 percent of them are filled by low- and moderate-income residents. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

No George We would prefer for you to sit there and type out your words of wisdom. Don't worry, we'll build your highways, hospitals, and homes. We'll man your police and fire departments. We'll educated your children and grand children. We'll lay our life on the line serving in your military. And, when we protest how the 1% and their bought and paid for politicians are screwing us, we want you to sit there and criticize us and call us names.

The only practical place for a trolley would be in a town with steep hills. Tucson is flat as a pancake in that regard. The level of stupidity in building this astounds me. It is useless, has no practical application, will hardly ever be used, and will cause more traffic problems than it should. I smell organized crime.

CROOKS NOT OPENING THEIR BOOKS, that should be ADS' title as they string their stories along. Please someone make some arrests on these guys.

I thought that the police in Arizona were prohibited from using a traffic stop to determine a persons legal residency under a judges ruling on SB1070.

Robert W Ryan J Rosie, get back in here. Now is your time.

Pete: this is not a direct challenge to you, just a question I thought might lead the thread in an interesting direction. WHAT IS MIDDLE CLASS? Can it be defined by income? Or is it have a job/don't have a job? Or what? After a lifetime of work spanning two careers, I have an adequate income, more than my parents could ever have dreamed of, though still well short of six figures. But one hears this number $250K all the time. Does that mean "middle class" goes all the way up to $250K? If so, I'm one poor sumbitch! And if you ain't Evil Rich and you ain't middle class, what are you? "Lower class"? I constantly hear people in lower-paying blue collar jobs, for whom/which I have nothing but respect, complaining that the Evil Rich and the conservatives are trying to stick it to the "middle class." So does that mean the complainers are middle class? Help me here, Pete. I need some clarification of terms -- something like "above $250k, Evil Rich; below $250k but able to pay taxes, Middle Class; below $250k and can't hack it without a check from the Guvmint, Other Class."

Cain had his biggest fund raising da et esterda . Frightening, isn't it? No, I find it comforting that the serfs can't be controlled as easil as the puppet masters had hoped.

Maybe Rio Tinto should buy out Rosemont Copper. One of the big complaints the anti-Rosemont folks have is that Rosemont's parent company Augusta Resources has never operated a mine. Rio Tinto has operated six copper mines by my count so they must be qualified to operate a copper mine in the Santa Ritas.

Self inflicted.

this movement is the start of the end of America - as we know it - the new facist America will be a brave new controlled world - every breath you take, every move you make, you'll be controlled and watched - or killed if you don't agree. The the great satin.. perhaps... one in which christians are killed for being christian... maybe. Socialist,... much more controlling.. a county I not like to live in.. looking that way, but its coming world wide! A sad future indeed.. watch what you ask for, you just might get it.

The purpose of a curfew is to limit criminal activity. By lifting the curfew you are opening yourself up for more criminal activity. NOT a good idea.

Government spending represents a waste. The waste is the production foregone in favor of opting for a subpar investment opportunity. if we could ever get the sheeple to understand this they would understand that GOVT is a waste product time to shrink govt was YESTERDAY as the SH!T pile stinks to much

Ron was here

Good idea. But, a good chance the car was stolen. We're dealing with criminals here.

She is supportive of the current water policy, which she says is designed to encourage infill development Because if we only develop within certain boundaries, we won't use as much water... <chuckle>

Based on what defination Edward? The Rosemont area in the Santa Rita's is far and away more impacted by past mining, grazing, and recreational ATV use than the Oak Flat area is. Your comparison is bunk and just shows that your true interest lies in maintaining a personal utopia in the Rosemont area rather than focusing on what is in the best interests of all of your fellow citizens. People need jobs, not envrio-elitest rhetoric.

What a load of nonsense. Casa Molina was the first place we ate when we moved to Tucson 20 years ago and we've eaten there at least once a year since then. If you are too poor to spend $30-40 for a good meal with a couple of margaritas, eat fast food. Lot's of us can afford this, even in this economy. Very sad to hear of this. Terrific fajitas and chile rellenos.

Finally - people are talking about how our country has become what I saw first hand while serving in the Peace Corp in a third world country - the US has become a third world country... the haves & have-nots! When schools ask parents to donate paper, toilet paper, supplies, etc... fyi folks - that's how the 3rd world country does it because there is no money.... when I got back 10 years ago from serving and learned that one of my colleagues daughters school had asked for this stuff, then spoke with other parents and learned this is reality here now... I told them that's how we functioned during my time in the peace corp for the schools we worked with... their mouths dropped open. I suppose if the mainstream media did a little homework and compared some of the realities in the US to 3rd world countries, more people would likely be occupying... because the US has more in common with 3rd world countries than we don't... do a little digging folks... it's not pretty.

In the ADS, some invaders are called "entrants". Just sayin'.

I am really tired of obama blaming everything on the Republicans. He has had a majority of democrats he DOESN'T need the Republicans. Its time he steps forward and say that the buck stops in his office and take responsibility for HIS failures. Right now he is sounding like a spoiled brat who isn't getting his way. If you want to see what economy path the democrats are taking us just look at Greece and better yet California.

Yuck!!

...might I direct your attention to the very first post on this story. Note the date, and the headline. What in heavens name is this guy doing to this country?...

What the hell's wrong with the doctor? That place is a virtual mine of practice. Every thing from hang nails to allergies can be diagnosed as spill related. There will be after effects for the rest of his career.

Sandra--I beg to differ. The reason our health insurance is such a disaster is profit/private industry has gotten their greedy hands in the pie. Look at the salaries of their CEO's--that money alone could fund plenty of health care. But it's profit at all costs, in every sector of health care--doctors, Big Pharma who are some of the biggest greedy ripoff crooks there are. So your solution is to let these people take over completely? I realize Medicare/Medicaid could use some oversight, but to throw them out of the picture so the for-profit companies can screw us all even more? What sense does that make! Wait until you see what your premiums are then!

How much do ou tip the condom deliver gu ?

Thanks for the article, ADS. I'll add Border Action to my donation list. Why do you support illegal immigration? I support human rights and dignity. So does Border Action. They people they represent, for the most part, add to the richness of America.
