Is this where I get to say that we should kick out all the illegal immigrants since they are mostly the ones without insurance and are "fucking the US Taxpayer bareback".
wait..
This is now the part where you said the only smart thing to do is make them legal citizens, right? Which to me is like getting caught robbing a bank, and getting handed a bag of money and saying "next time, we won't be so nice".
Double swiping, under a certain amount, is more a civil matter. It pretty much hinges directly on the amount and the method it is done. While it would be considered theft if someone stole $20 from your gym locker, you probably won't get a very serious response from reporting that to the authorities. If they steal your identity information and open accounts and such, it falls under fraud, however, and that is generally something they like to investigate a little further.
Identity fraud has dropped quite a bit since 2003, whether that is from stronger law enforcement, people becoming more informed, better security measures, or a combination of all that, I am not sure.

Nah, Bush was Regan lite on Immigration. Republicans are trying to hard nowadays cause they are terrified of the "latino" vote.
Out of all my hispanic friends, none of them want these people to be given citizenship for coming here illegally. They all did it the hard way. Generally, it's the people from the last amnesty, and the ones that are illegal that are demanding this. No shit they want it.
If it was up to me, and I am sure every liberal in the world is glad it isn't, I would reform the process to become a citizen, kick out every illegal, and pass a law that anyone caught here illegally does 50 years hard labor. Then I would withhold all funding to any city/state that considers itself a "sanctuary" city. Or let them know that if they want to keep doing it, they can choose to succeed from the Union, in which case I would be sending people to "visit" shortly after.
Exactly Jarvan! You've highlighted another GOP urban legend which is the story of the uninsured illegal alien bankrupting the country. This is one reason why people can't understand the GOP's opposition to an individual mandate. It's straight out of their playbook. Like I said before, it makes no damn sense, except when you consider that if the Democrats take all the GOP's issues, then the republican candidates have no reason to be elected so it becomes important for them to go find new scary things to campaign about.
