It's kind of what they do. I don't know why my brother wants in the statehouse so badly. He'd be good at it, I suppose, but literally banging his head against a wall would save postage.ETA: What Jessica said...I don't think immigration= in the wind, on the lam, whatever. Those people are probably not going to stop anything because law enforcement probably doesn't scare them very much.

I think there's a difference between illegal border crossing and illegal immigration - to me, "immigration" implies that the goal is settlement in the US, not crossing the border to commit a crime and then head straight back to Mexico.

BINGO.

Arizona is looking for a way to discourage the former, even though it equally affects the latter. They can't do anything about federal immigration laws.

Does anyone have a good espresso/cappuccino maker to recommended. Something in the $150 range would be best, although up to $500 is okay. If it is an Italian brand or model name, that would be great.

Basically, we need to offer a prize for an Italian survey in the $500 range, I'd rather spread the wealth among a few machines.

Look at Capresso, megan. We've had their regular coffeemakers for years and really love the quality.

I have this one and I absolutely love it. I've used it daily since November of last year without issue.

Both CJ and I slept through our alarms and didn't get up until after 10am. I have a headache that can't decide if it wants to go migraine or not and CJ has a stomach ache. It was quite odd to wake up so late, not remembering that I had shut off my alarm and then realizing that not only had CJ not gone to school but that he was still sound asleep on the floor of his room.

I put in a few hours of work and am going to see if a nap can snap the headache. I've already rescheduled 2 conference calls and canceled both CJ and my karate classes.

Does anyone have a Merriam Webster dictionary? I have a style question and my dictionary is the American Heritage.

We have a Capresso and love it. We've had it for 10 years now. (Well, actually, the first one got worn out after Joe took it took Iraq but they gave us a brand new one for a very good deal.)
