The interesting thing is, when you look at all the Republican candidates on the stage last night and the night before—every single one of them has some part of their record where, they werent perfect with regard to illegal immigration or immigration. But heres the reality—the reality is thats because the federal government has not gotten control of this. And when it gets down to cities and states, they really dont have the resources to deal with it, so they deal with it imperfectly.</p> <p>LABEL: RG NH 1-7 (SD#6) EARS-ClipF</p> <p>If youd like to acquire a high res version of this clip, VISIT: https://issuealliance.box.net/shared/ck19l13sn5#RG_NH_1-7_(SD#6)_EARS-ClipF</p> <p>To download this entire event, VISIT: <br />Coming Soon!</p> </div> <a href="/blog/62232-rudy-giuliani-town-hall-1-7-08">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/60303-words-of-wisdom-resources 2008-11-22T12:27:26Z dharma dog pictures <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yorrcxx__Sg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yorrcxx__Sg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/60303-words-of-wisdom-resources"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/74463" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Our Mother Earth Is A Living Being <br /> Sequoyah Trueblood <br />Words Of Wisdom RESOURCES <br /> Our Mother Earth Is A Living Being <br /> Sequoyah Trueblood</p> <p>How long can one endure such torture?
