&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;All amnesty will do is encourage more illegals to illegally invade this great country......We need to learn from our past mistakes of granting amnesty.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Obama is wrong on this issue............&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;by&amp;nbsp;Ross Balano,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Midwest Voices Columnist 2008&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Democrat presidential nominee &lt;strong&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/strong&gt; today speaking to the &lt;strong&gt;National Council of La Raza&lt;/strong&gt; in San Diego promised amnesty for the more than 12 million illegal immigrants that are living in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s a bit of what Obama had to say: &amp;ldquo;Yes, they broke the law. And we should not excuse that. We should require them to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for citizenship - behind those who came here legally. But we cannot - and should not - deport 12 million people. &amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Obama went on to say: &amp;ldquo;That&#039;s why we need to offer those who are willing to make amends a pathway to citizenship. That way, we can reconcile our values as both a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That&amp;rsquo;s amnesty any way you look at it. How does &amp;ldquo;a nation of laws&amp;rdquo; ignore the fact that 12 million people broke the law of the land by granting them amnesty?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do you really suppose he&amp;rsquo;ll insist that all of those 12 million people learn to speak English? Does that mean we won&amp;rsquo;t have to &amp;ldquo;press one for English&amp;rdquo; anymore?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is shameful pandering to a group that doesn&amp;rsquo;t give a hoot about what&amp;rsquo;s best for America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A real leader wouldn&amp;rsquo;t pander this way. What should be done is to insist that anyone who applies for citizenship should have to do so from their country of origin. Anything less is amnesty and a slap in the faces of all those who came here legally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The border wall should be completed. Once that is done we should streamline our immigration process to make it easier for immigrants to be granted legal entry if they are willing to learn English and become Americans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p itxtvisited=&quot;1&quot;&gt;I am happy that illegal aliens are still being arrested........and hopefully deported !&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p itxtvisited=&quot;1&quot;&gt;AP news&lt;br /&gt;
PRESCOTT - Two separate traffic stops over the weekend in Yavapai County led authorities to 25 suspected illegal immigrants.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p itxtvisited=&quot;1&quot;&gt;The Yavapai County Sheriff&#039;s Office says a deputy pulled over a van Saturday on I-17 near Cordes Lakes east of Prescott.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p itxtvisited=&quot;1&quot;&gt;During the stop, authorities say 10 illegal immigrants were captured and taken to jail in Camp Verde.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p itxtvisited=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Sunday, Yavapai County deputies stopped another van north of Camp Verde and detained 15 suspected illegal immigrants. All were taken to jail pending transfer to federal immigration custody.&lt;/p&gt;

                <title>President Bush awards Purple Heart to Tehachapi Marine</title>

                <itunes:summary>&lt;h4&gt;A Tehachapi man and U.S. Marine sergeant injured by a land mine while in Afghanistan received a Purple Heart medal from President Bush Thursday morning at the National Naval Medical Center in Maryland.&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sgt. Justin Clenard lost his legs from the knees down. Clenard stepped on a buried landmine on June 23 while going door to door in a deserted village, looking for Taliban, his step mother Kerrin Clenard said. The Purple Heart is awarded to those who have been wounded or killed while serving in the U.S. military.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;It really meant a lot to him,&amp;rdquo; said Kerrin, who was with Justin at the medical center.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clenard was on his third tour of duty in the region. He graduated from Tehachapi High School in 2004. Kerrin said Justin is in good spirits and recovering well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;President Bush broke ground Thursday morning in Bethesda on a $970 million Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, set to open in 2011. While there, he visited 20 injured soldiers, including Clenard at 11 a.m., Kerrin said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bush gave Justin a pep talk, saying doctors could do a lot for his legs with prosthetics. They posed for a picture, Bush gave him a presidential coin, and he kissed Justin on the head, Kerrin said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;This was really a huge booster for him to have the president visit him,&amp;rdquo; Kerrin said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She added: &amp;ldquo;(Justin) will be running by next year.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clenard&amp;rsquo;s family was in attendance including his mother Lori Sander; father Christopher Clenard; brother Kevin Clenard and Justin&amp;rsquo;s grandmother, Doris Anderson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kerrin said Justin has been getting dozens of calls of support from friends, family and colleagues in the military.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;Thanks to everyone who&amp;rsquo;s been supporting Justin.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;first_paragraph&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;byline&quot;&gt;Justice served !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;first_paragraph&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;byline&quot;&gt;The Bakersfield Californian&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;first_paragraph&quot;&gt;David Bruce Rosenberg was sentenced Wednesday to 15 years to life in prison for a shooting death his supporters described as &amp;ldquo;a dreadfully tragic accident.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/h5&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, the family of the victim, Michelle Cross, said her death was the result of choices Rosenberg made, including bringing a loaded gun to a Tehachapi ranch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kern County Superior Court Judge Michael Bush, acknowledging 17 letters of support for the 39-year-old defendant, said the law left him no choice except for the sentence he imposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A jury convicted Rosenberg of second-degree murder in the Sept. 19 death of Cross who was shot in the side as she sat in a car with another man.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Prosecution witnesses testified Rosenberg hit his friend Will Logan in the face with the gun that accidentally went off.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The .22-caliber bullet entered the side of the 36-year-old Cross and penetrated her vital organs, killing her.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Defense attorney James Coker asked for a new trial because he felt the jury, which chose the lowest crime it had before it, should have been given the option of involuntary manslaughter. That&amp;rsquo;s punishable by up to four years in prison.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He noted the jury didn&amp;rsquo;t even find that Rosenberg used a gun.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The judge rejected that motion saying the facts didn&amp;rsquo;t fit involuntary manslaughter, which is an accidental killing due to negligence during a lawful act or an unlawful act not amounting to a felony. Assaulting someone with a gun is generally a felony.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The victim&amp;rsquo;s aunt, Elsa Waters, said Cross didn&amp;rsquo;t make the best choices in her life, but now she doesn&amp;rsquo;t have to choice to turn her life around. Waters said Rosenberg was at fault for choosing to bring a gun to the scene.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rosenberg&amp;rsquo;s criminal record includes nine convictions of drug and minor offenses between 1987 and 2003.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His supporters, including Monica Haskell who has five children, praised him for his devotion to the children that he met during Haskell&amp;rsquo;s &amp;ldquo;horrific divorce&amp;rdquo; in 1999.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She credits him with her recovery from a divorce that included regular calls to police and other protective agencies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Haskell&amp;rsquo;s mother, Glennis, wrote that Rosenberg has become &amp;ldquo;a beloved, valued and integral member of our family.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She added, &amp;ldquo;David has shed many tears for her (Cross) and her family&amp;rsquo;s loss and he prays for them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;ldquo;He was horror struck the second he realized she had been injured and continues to suffer true anguish.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
