Some people argue this. Peter Singer, for instance.

:sob:

Today, there was another article about a kid's birthday party where no one showed up It seems like there's been a bunch of these stories. As a parent, it's quite heartbreaking to read these kinds of stories. What really set me off, though was reading some of the comments (I know, I know...

So what you're saying is the Constitution works, and it has successfully provided guiding principals that have allowed the U.S. to incrementally but continuously grow and improve over the past 230 years?

I don't understand the question. Once again, you continue to assume he did not make it a priority. On what basis are you making this assumption? Please don't put words in my mouth. No one ever said we should give him anything for free. You asked about the costs of applying for citizenship...

We are just going to have to agree to disagree. I am all for immigration reform, enforcing border controls, and removing illegal immigrants who pose a danger to society. But I fail to see how it is in society's interests to remove a contributing member of society who is the breadwinner for...

PiP, Worker's Permit, Social Security Card No filing fees, but $ - $$$$$ in lawyers fees, notarizations, requests for records from consulate, travel costs and lost wages to get to consulate and USCIS locations, etc IR1/CR1 visa: I-130 filing fee: $535 NVC Immigrant Fee: $325 Affidavit of...

Edited the comment above to add: PiP for military spouses was not formalized until November 2013, so this option may not even have been initially open to him, or the lack of clear policy could have contributed to the delay.

Parole in place does not grant legal permanent residency. In addition to the costs and difficulties involved for PiP (lawyers, notarizations, going to the consulate to obtain records, etc), he would have also had to apply for work permits, social security card, etc AND most importantly apply...

Not a single one of my friends or family in Mexico believes their kids would be better off in Mexico than in the U.S. Twenty years ago, for instance, I visited a town in Guerrerro for a wedding. Five years ago, 43 college students from that town were abducted and disappeared. You have no idea...

Scientifically speaking, ostriches don't actually hide their heads in the sand. They do bury their eggs in the ground, so while tending to the eggs it appears that they are hiding their heads in the sand. Also, while lions do prey on ostriches, ostrich kicks are dangerous and can debilitate...

And don't forget how expensive it is. Especially when complicated cases drag on and a lawyer is needed.

The daughter is an American citizen. She is fourteen--high school age--and has grown up and lived her whole life here. She cannot be forcibly removed, and depending on the father's situation, telling him to take her with may not be in the child's best interests. But who in their right mind...

Well given your admission that you don't care about this discussion, one questions why you are engaging on this forum at all. You should sign off and not waste people's time.

That's assuming you have individual showers in the first place. Newly constructed school buildings often do have individual showers, but tons of older schools have showers that look like this: There is no getting around nakedness in a shower like that. Even locker rooms with individual...

We're not talking about strangers. We are talking about classmates--which for many of these kids, by the way, is even worse. That aside, please enlighten me how a locker room full of kids will manage to shower and change without getting naked in front of each other.

So, what is your solution to showering and changing out of sweaty, soiled clothing and back into uniform or street clothes after physical education class or sports practice? Hard to do that all without getting naked... It's a metaphor. Okay if you say so.

My undergrad university had "coed" bathrooms. The bathrooms were marked by gender, but there was no enforcement of the rule, and people used whatever bathroom they wanted. I actually wanted women in the men's bathroom when I was coming out of the shower, so I could show off my sculpted...

Is the father receiving treatment for cancer, like chemo or radiation therapy? If so, might the root cause be that he is sensitive or embarrassed by his appearance? Maybe the girl is making excuses--wittingly or unwittingly--to cover for him? She seems like she is going through a lot. People...

You can also get those connections and other intangibles if you transfer in after your first two years, or you attend grad school at one of these prestigious universities.
