From a one-time Obama-supporting leftist, in an article cited by RealClearPolitics. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dear Democrats: What is Your List of Demands? [...] It's always the same story. One side believes itself to be the "chosen" ones, morally superior and absolved of all responsibility, that they can be as violent as they want, act out however they please, and all of us must be held hostage to their unhinged emotions, going on ten years now.

Further to Pooky's post above is the following. After reading the full thing, explain your reasoning for agreeing or disagreeing. This thread is great because of the diverse opinions from so many contributors. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Top Democrats Are Agitating For Insurrection And Political Vigilantism Democrats seem to think that laws and policies they don't like can be thwarted by an angry mob or an insurrectionist governor.

That's because of all the, uh, ICE agents. Again, he's an ICE agent.

I'm a Central Chimpanzee originally from Africa, but I got to Texas as fast as I could. Back to topic: The RGV has grown incredibly, and such things as medical care (hospitals, etc.) have improved markedly over the years.

Charles afflicted with NB Disease! Reported!!!!!

This can be a danger in some cultures, including in Africa. Please take great care, however you proceed. A common and heartbreaking verdict is "too married for a I-129F / K-1." Pulling for you in every regard.

Of course, but you're a Yankee and have been for years.

Congratulations! The end is in sight... "Road trip, du-u-de!" It's been 12 years, but I'm still palpably grateful that Mrs. T-B. was only 6 miles from our biometrics place.

Welcome to Texas, pardner!

Congratulations on the interview! And this is a perfect place to post. In general, it's wiser to "bring all that you can and not need it" than to be asked for something that you don't have (gulp). Reprint the important (financial) documents, with updates if any For other evidence like photos, bring new ones. Tax RETURN transcripts are preferred and are more wieldy than tax forms + attachments. Bring photos of your toddler, but arrange for babysitting unless you have no other option. Other idea: If you haven't drafted or revised your estate documents (wills, durable & medical powers of attorney, HIPAA releases, and more) since you had your child -- or at all -- these make outstanding evidence for ROC. They're even more important to have in "life." Strongly consider this.

It does get hot, but "too hot" is relative. No need to stay in the Midwest and be cold.

Yee-HAAAAA!

Welcome to the forum! In addition to what Dashinka says, remember that key people might have been on vacation during the holidays, and they're catching up now.
