Would not that depend on whether they live in Sanctuary Cities?
what do you mean? Like if they don't live in "sanctuary cities", they can't be apprehended for breaking local law?

I would like to see the supreme court rule on whether or not illegal aliens are under the jurisdiction of the US because if not the 14th amendment doesn't apply to their children.
I have read about this. And the writer made a good analogy:
QuoteTo test this idea, ask yourself: If a foreign citizen rear-ends your car on your drive home today, will you, or the police, allow him to drive away on the grounds that a foreign citizen cannot be arrested, ticketed, or sued?
For those scoring at home, the answer is no.
Foreign citizens are “subject to the jurisdiction” of our police and courts when they are in the U.S., whether as tourists, legal residents, or undocumented immigrants. Only one group is not “subject to the jurisdiction”—accredited foreign diplomats and their families, who can be expelled by the federal government but not arrested or tried.
That’s who the framers of the clause were discussing in Section 1—along with one other group. In 1866, when the amendment was framed, Indians living under tribal rule were not U.S. citizens. Under the law as it was then, American police could not arrest them, and American citizens could not sue them. Relations with Indian tribes were handled government to government, like relations with foreign nations: If Native people left the reservation and harmed American citizens, those citizens had to apply to the U.S. government, which would officially protest and seek compensation from the tribal government. In that respect, Indians living under tribal government were as protected as foreign diplomats are today.

If she does not get a letter in 2 weeks I am going to get my congressman involved
Is that for an oath? Maybe, do an infopass?
Those darn letters take a while.

As someone who has spent 2 years in Kandahar Afghanistan I will tell you that we should have been gone years ago. It is only a quagmire now with no end in sight at all. We need to stop pouring our money into peacekeeping and just get out.
I know this freaking sucks to say the least because we have lost a lot of people over there, some of whom were my friends. But it needs to be said that we need to stop pouring our personnel and resources into that war. The only time it was ever a unified country and not warring within itself a king ruled with a Iron Fist.
I've heard this said, too, by people who have been deployed there. 😢 I find it sad.

This might be your answer:
Quote“The President is violating federal law, trampling the rights of Americans and legal immigrants to be free from use of the military for law enforcement, and has set up a potential catastrophe at the US/Mexico border all in the name of white nationalism and with the objective of scoring political points,” Mike Donovan, president of Nexus Services, the immigration services company funding the suit, said in a statement.
Okay. So, I lean left for many issues. But, this is the very reason why I don't lean ALL the way left. They're not even here yet, and none of the policy proposals have been enacted. Ridiculous.

Do journal articles count?
Technical reports?
Don't count yourself out. That haiku was gripping.

And you can write whatever you want. Some write short stories. Others write screenplays. I've even seen a few people using nano to give writing their thesis a boost.
I will look into NaNoWriMo for my technical writing then. And I agree, the printing of documents was quite a lot.
are we supposed to make updates daily or something?

Wow!! Congratulations........I would think that expedites based on harm to the US gov. would be very difficult......well done!!
It’s been a while, but I think what the commander back then wrote was that me not getting the visa impacts my spouse’s ability to deploy. And they deploy a lot. My spouse would have thrived okay on his own. So, I don’t particularly understand why it would affect his ability to deploy. But I was a new spouse to a military member back then, so maybe that’s why I didn’t understand.
We were living overseas (not my country of origin) so my stay there was contingent on his presence there (SOFA status). If I had not gotten approved for a visa before my spouse had to fly to the CONUS assignment, I would have had to fly back home and wait out the visa process there, which I know a lot of people here had done or are doing.
Thinking about it now, I don’t know exactly why it was approved. I just remember what the commander’s memo said. And I'm glad it worked!

Two-Word Mash-up Game
Found this from another forum!
The first person will post two words, such as "Pumpkin Spice", and the next poster will use the second word in their post.
Example:
Post 1 - Pumpkin SpicePost 2 - Spice Girl
Post 3 - Girl Power
Get the idea?
ALSO, there should be no implied words in between the two words.
An example of an implied word would be "and" when it's "Mice (and) Men".Let's play!

So lovely you can find humor in this whole process, lol. I just call it my every-few-years annoyance. And now I guess I won't have to worry about it.
Does writing technical reports and journal articles count? If it did, I don't think most people here would be interested in statistical analyses lol

‘This is not going to be won militarily’: Top US commander in Afghanistan reveals pessimism
QuoteIn his first interview since taking command of NATO’s Resolute Support mission in September, Army Gen. Austin Miller’s thoughts seem to mirror the pessimism felt by the American people as the war in Afghanistan treads past the 17-year mark.
“This is not going to be won militarily,” Miller told NBC News in an exclusive interview. “This is going to a political solution."
“My assessment is the Taliban also realizes they cannot win militarily,” he said. "So if you realize you can’t win militarily at some point, fighting is just, people start asking why. So you do not necessarily wait us out, but I think now is the time to start working through the political piece of this conflict.”
Miller’s comments reflect several realities portrayed in the latest report from the leading U.S. government oversight agency on Afghanistan.
I reckon a lot of VJ members were or are in the military.
Afghanistan just sounds like a battle that will never end.
Thoughts?

How many kids die from grandpa’s guns in a year? Not many. (I grew up with them in the home, always loaded, and no one ever died. We knew the rules.). Accidents DO happen, but usually when someone who never had a gun gets one. The FIRST rule with any gun is... it’s loaded, period. And your first act should be to unload it when handling it.
As to the Vegas shooting, don’t buy into the hype. I may be the only person in CEHST who thinks so, but I believe there were more than one shooter. And a fully-auto weapon was used, not just ARs with bump stocks. At the range of the shooting in Vegas, a bump stock would be worthless, highly inaccurate - even more so than a full-auto 7.62 caliber machine gun, which sound bites show to have been used. But that’s an entirely different topic...
Re: Vegas shooting, no motive found, no other shooter found. It's difficult to believe only one person can do it. And I guess I've been conditioned (by police procedural shows -- curse you, Criminal Minds!) that every person has a motive. But yeah that's off-topic.
I have beliefs regarding gun legislation and other ways gun violence can be decreased. I mean, I'm not just referring to mass shootings. Most gun violence is suicide as well. More work can be done to provide mental health services to people at risk for self-harm.

That's ridiculous. yeah, I suggest doing an Infopass to know for sure if your spouse was scheduled for the next.
For my oath, I initially wanted to re-schedule, but I never got notified that they re-scheduled me. So, I did infopass and found out that they did re-schedule me. Lo and behold, I got the letter the next day.
