Open Question: Are my in laws to blame for this?

I'm 35- my wife, 34. We are both mentally ill. I am a F/T student. My wife is not able to work now. We are both crazy. I have OCD- she has Bipolar type II. Circumstances of a complex nature have arisen. We live with her parents. We live in the basement of the house. Her mother is tired of scrubbing toilets for a living- and at the mature age of 58, who can blame her? They just lost their van, but bought a nice used car to replace it. But they do not have a lot of money. They have decided to move 200 miles south to South Georgia. They will live with my father in law's mother. Once my FIL's parents pass on, the in laws will inherit the property. They (FIL's parents) are around 70 years old now. My wife is smart. But she has deep depression, and she cannot work. She has tried again and again and again to keep a job. She has applied for SSDI. But it could take three years for us to receive word on it. I am penniless. We both are. We don't have a lot of options. We may have to move with her 'rents. We will live in a separate apt.- but in the same town. The In laws had been threatening to move down south for years. But suddenly, a few weeks ago, they announced that this is final. They are moving in 3-5 months. That is set in stone. My wife and I can't afford anything except for maybe Section 8 housing. I get SSDI for my severe OCD. I am attending college F/T to become a teacher. I love my college now. I don't want to move. But my wife does want to. She doesn't want to stay here. But I do. So am I wrong to feel that my in laws are responsible for this change coming? My wife defends them, and says that this situation is not unfair. Who is right- me or her?Indygirl- I thought it was pellucidly clear. Shall I go over it once again? We live with her parents. They're moving. Now's the time for us "crazy crackas" to sink or swim. You follow?LOL- Indygirl- how can it possibly be insulting or "inflaming" when I am actually referring to myself? Do you think that African Americans whom refer to themselves as the N word are insulting one another? Hmm.LOL- Indygirl- how can it possibly be insulting or "inflaming" when I am actually referring to myself?

Open Question: Karl Marx and Chimps Trading Patterns? Please support your answer?

Would Marx agree, based on the trade patterns of chimps, that humans by nature are similar to chimps? Think about it this way: In a "pure" state – free of modern culture, society and economy – would humans have similar attitudes about trade as chimps? Use evidence from the article and your reading of Marx to support your answer. ScienceDaily (Feb. 5, 2008) — For thousands of years, human beings have relied on commodity barter as an essential aspect of their lives. It is the behavior that allows specialized professions, as one individual gives up some of what he has reaped to exchange with another for something different. In this way, both individuals end up better off. Despite the importance of this behavior, little is known about how barter evolved and developed. This study is the first to examine the circumstances under which chimpanzees, our closest relatives, will exchange one inherently valuable commodity (an apple slice) for another (a grape), which is what early humans must have somehow learned to do. Economists believe that commodity barter is one of the most basic precursors to economic specialization, which we observe in humans but not in other primate species. First of all, the researchers found that chimpanzees often did not spontaneously barter food items, but needed to be trained to engage in commodity barter. Moreover, even after the chimpanzees had been trained to do barters with reliable human trading partners, they were reluctant to engage in extreme deals in which a very good commodity (apple slices) had to be sacrificed in order to get an even more preferred commodity (grapes). Prior animal behavior studies have largely examined chimpanzees' willingness to trade tokens for valuable commodities. Tokens do not exist in nature, and lack inherent value, so a chimpanzee's willingness to trade a token for a valuable commodity, such as a grape, may say little about chimpanzee behavior outside the laboratory. In a series of experiments, chimpanzees at two different facilities were given items of food and then offered the chance to exchange them for other food items. A collaboration of researchers from Georgia State University, the University of California, Los Angeles, and the U.T. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center found that the chimpanzees, once they were trained, were willing to barter food with humans, but if they could gain something significantly better -- say, giving up carrots for much preferred grapes. Otherwise, they preferred to keep what they had. The observed chimpanzee behavior could be reasonable because chimpanzees lack social systems to enforce deals and, as a society, punish an individual that cheats its trading partner by running off with both commodities. Also because of their lack of property ownership norms, chimpanzees in nature do not store property and thus would have little opportunity to trade commodities. Nevertheless, as prior research has demonstrated, they do possess highly active service economies. In their natural environment, only current possessions are "owned," and the threat of losing what one has is very high, so chimpanzees frequently possess nothing to trade. "This reluctance to trade appears to be deeply ingrained in the chimpanzee psyche," said one of the lead authors, Sarah Brosnan, an assistant professor of psychology at Georgia State University. "They're perfectly capable of barter, but they don't do so in a way which will maximize their outcomes." The other lead author, Professor Mark F. Grady, Director of UCLA's Center for Law and Economics, commented: "I believe that chimpanzees are reluctant to barter commodities mainly because they lack effective ownership norms. These norms are especially costly to enforce, and for this species the game has evidently not been worth the candle. Fortunately, services can be protected without ownership norms, so chimpanzees can and do trade services with each other. As chimpanzee societies demonstrate, however, a service economy does not lead to the same degree of economic specialization that we observe among humans." The research could additionally shed light on the instances in which humans also don't maximize their gains, Brosnan said. more

Open Question: Which of the following epitomized the democratic nature of New England government?

Which of the following epitomized the democratic nature of New England government? (5 points) (Points :5) universal suffrage the town meeting the church governing council communal ownership of property All of the above In the early seventeenth century, New England's population could best be described by which of the following statements? (5 points) (Points :5) Because of the harsh North American environment, New Englanders had a shorter life-span and raised fewer children to adulthood than people living in England. Because of better diets and the slow spread of infection, New Englanders had a longer life-span and raised more children to adulthood than people living in England. Rapid population growth in New England resulted more from immigration than from childbearing. Population growth in New England was relatively slow compared with the population explosion England was experiencing. New England became a very diverse society because it practiced religious toleration and believed in the equality of races. The Act for Religious Toleration of 1649 was significant because it (5 points) (Points :5) protected Puritans in Massachusetts from religious persecution and was America's first law affirming freedom of worship. allowed Native Americans to perform their own religious rites in praying towns. embodied the fundamental anti-authoritarian tenets of the Antinomians. protected Catholics in Maryland from religious persecution. promoted social stability in the British West Indies. The Puritans adopted the Halfway Covenant in 1662 to (5 points) (Points :5) expand church membership by allowing children of church members to join. allow non-Puritans the opportunity to join their church as nonvoting members. convert Indians by showing them different ways to become Christians. establish the rules for governing in the colony before they reached the New World. reconcile with the Anglican Church by adopting some of that church's rituals. 15. What was one of the results of King George's War? (5 points) (Points :5) The French were expelled from North America. Four thousand New Englanders were killed in a futile assault on the French bastion of Louisbourg. The English captured and then returned the French fort on the northern tip of Nova Scotia, guarding the entrance to the St. Lawrence River. France was established as the dominant power in North America. Spain surrendered Florida to England, and France took control of Louisbourg. 16. All of the following accurately describe George Whitefield except that he (5 points) (Points :5) claimed that ministers were in reality unsaved. challenged the movement of Protestantism away from its roots in the teachings of Martin Luther. had a running feud with the Church of England's representative in the colonies. traveled thousands of miles to criticize established Protestantism. was considered one of the greatest speakers in favor of a revival of religious piety in the eighteenth century. 17. In the first half of the eighteenth century, how did Great Britain become more powerful in North America than either France or Spain? (5 points) (Points :5) France and Spain fought a debilitating war that allowed the British to develop their possessions without interference. Great Britain greatly expanded its navy and built new bases in North America and the Caribbean. Great Britain's population in North America more than quadrupled. France underwent a series of leadership changes that prevented it from giving its colonies much attention Spain abandoned most of its North American possessions in favor of building its empire in Africa. 18. All of the following statements about Georgia are correct except (5 points) (Points :5) it was supposed to flourish by exporting expensive commodities such as wine and silk. for a time,it was the only English colony where slavery was forbidden. it was created in part from land of the Creek Indians. in its first decade, half of Georgia's immigrants came from Germany, Switzerland, and Scotland, and most had their overseas passage was paid by the government. it was successfully populated by large numbers of debtors who otherwise would have had to rot in jail. 19. Colonial governors possessed all of the following powers except (5 points) (Points :5) the right to veto acts. the power to call or dismiss assembly sessions at will. control over taxes and the budget. the authority to schedule elections at any time. None of these 20. Which of the following was an argument of the Deists? (5 points) (Points :5) The only true knowledge is religious truth, and God is unknowable. more

Open Question: Fibromyalgia and Marijuana in Texas?

My grandmother has been fighting fibromyalgia for years now and my family is fearful of loosing her do the dangerous combination of drugs she is prescribed to combat her symptoms. The other day the combination of Loratab and Lunesta caused her to fall the other night and she went to the emergency room for her injuries. I am a Student at Georgia State University and my psychology professor told me that we should get her off of her medications and on medical cannabis as soon as possible, as it is proven in many pain management studies as a viable treatment for fibro. If anyone knows who prescribes medicinal marijuana in the state of Texas, or knows the law and how my grandmother can get PROPER treatment for her chronic disease, it would be much appreciated. Thank You. more

Open Question: Economics and society help?

Based on the article, consider chimp culture and society. Explain why it makes sense that chimps will not engage in high risk trade.

Open Question: i need some legal age help please ?

okay, i'm 16, i live in Georgia (i know laws are different in different states). i'm planning on moving in with my 22 year old cousin in Indiana. if this goes as planned, i will move in with him before i turn 17, which will be in September of 2010. i've heard that when you turn 17, you can move out with your parents/legal guardians (or in my case, grandparents) making you move back home. is this true ? i don't want to have to be forced back home just because they don't approve of the way i am. (for those wondering, i live with my grandparents, as i mentioned above. they're are VERY strong Christians, so much that they try to force their religion on me. i'll admit, i'm not exactly religious, but i don't agree with a lot of what they say or do. and no, i'm not trying to be a rebellious teenager and go off and do whatever i want. i want to be able to be who i really am without being in trouble, or being judged. all i want is to be able to have a little freedom to be who i want to be, and who i really am.) (plus, my cousin, is very much trusted by my grandparents, so it's very possible they will allow me to move in with him. but if they see my true colors shine, they will make me move back home. i want to make sure that that's not legally possible.) more

Resolved Question: What is UR opinion on Proposed bill could reward Hall County for immigration enforcement?

state senator wants to reward law enforcement agencies like the Hall County Sheriff’s Office with financial incentives for helping enforce federal immigration law. Only four local law enforcement agencies in Georgia — those in Hall, Cobb, Gwinnett and Whitfield counties — participate in the 287(g) program, which is a partnership with the federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency that allows sheriffs and police to process for deportation those arrested who are in the country illegally. Only 67 law enforcement agencies nationwide have 287(g) agreements with ICE. State Sen. John Wiles, R-Kennesaw, said he would like to see more agencies using the program, and this week proposed creating incentives for participation. “There is a growing concern that many criminal illegal aliens are not being identified because local governments do not participate in these important programs,” Wiles said. Wiles’ proposal would tie the incentives to the issue of state prisoners in county jails. Currently, when a person in a county jail is sentenced to state time, the Georgia Department of Corrections has 15 days to pick up the inmate for transfer to the prison system. Starting on the 16th day, the state must pay county jails a per diem for holding the state prisoner in a county facility. Wiles’ office said that amount per day is $23; Hall County Sheriff Steve Cronic said the per diem is $20. Wiles’ bill would pay any sheriff’s office that participates in the federal immigration enforcement program an additional 20 percent of the per diem for state inmates, or another $4 per inmate, per day. In the Hall County Jail Tuesday, there were 61 state-sentenced inmates awaiting transfer to prison. The state was paying Hall County $1,220 a day to hold them. Under Wiles’ proposal, because the Hall County’s Sheriff’s Office is a 287(g) agency, the state would pay the county $1,464 a day for the same number of inmates. Cronic said the per diem of $20 is less than it costs Hall County to hold state prisoners. He said he was in favor of anything that could help sheriffs recover the expense of holding state-sentenced inmates. “We always thought the per diem could be higher,” he said. But Cronic pointed out that many other law enforcement agencies have wanted to participate in 287(g) but couldn’t because of a lack of funding on the federal end. Training and equipment for the immigration enforcement program is provided by the federal Department of Homeland Security. “I think there are a large number of sheriff’s offices that have expressed interest, but at this point, funding has been an issue,” Cronic said. ICE spokesman Ivan Ortiz did not return an e-mail and phone message seeking comment Tuesday. D.A. King, an illegal immigration activist, called Wiles’ proposed bill “a wonderful idea.” “It’s simply a carrot; there is no stick,” King said. “If you want to use these federal tools, you will get more money to protect the community.” King said 287(g) is “proven to reduce crime and get people who are in the community illegally and committing additional crimes reported to immigration enforcement on the federal level. I’m grateful to Sen. Wiles for the initiative he’s taken to see if Georgia can’t be among the leaders in the country in its use.” Jerry Gonzalez, the executive director of the Georgia Association of Latino Elected Officials and an opponent of 287(g), said Wiles’ proposal was “wrongheaded, fiscally irresponsible as well as morally reprehensible.” “How does this create jobs and how does this address the serious revenue challenges that the state is facing?” Gonzalez said. “The state doesn’t have the money for this, and the program as implemented has created an anti-immigrant sentiment that makes the environment less friendly to foreign investments http://www.gainesvilletimes.com/news/article/29344/ more

Resolved Question: Just how did an illegal manage to fall through the cracks and get a security job at Jaxport?

An illegal accused of stealing two Sheriffs Deputy badges, and a .22 caliber pistol falsely obtaining a , and listing Georgia as his place of birth , would he had gotten amnesty under immigration reform ?It may take awhile before the local, state and federal officials hammer out what went wrong. But we've learned what triggered the investigation that led to the Brazilian man's arrest Tuesday. Jaxport spokesperson Nancy Rubin says Aldenor Abrantes Filho was eventually arrested. He had only worked five shifts. "The individual was driving a vehicle that just didn't seem quite right to our very experienced security officer. It looked to have been configured to represent a police car". The Department of Homeland Security said Aldenor Abrantes Filho, 31, was arrested Tuesday for possession of a firearm by an illegal alien. Filho is accused of falsely obtaining a Florida drivers license, and listing Georgia as his place of birth when he got a job with U.S. Security Associates, a security contractor based in Jacksonville. He is also accused of stealing two St. Johns County Sheriffs Deputy badges, and a .22 caliber pistol. Rubin says Filho was arrested Tuesday morning at the port's Blount Island terminal by Jacksonville police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. "I just want to point out the situation worked as it should, and the individual in question was on the premises on very few occasions" said Rubin. However, Filho managed to fly under the radar since he was hired last month. Rubin didn't say if JAXPort is planning to change their security measures, or, stop using the contractor who hired Filho. According to the complaint filed by Customs and Border Protection, Filho entered the United States on a six-month visitor's visa in 2003 and never left. A petition for more permanent immigrant status was denied in 2007, the complaint says. Or how much will this cost taxpayers ?HOUSTON — Raids on 14 illegal bus companies here have shed light on a seedy underground system that transported illegal immigrants all over the country and that sometimes held them captive until their relatives paid exorbitant fares, federal law enforcement officials said Thursday. Using minivans, the companies were carrying hundreds of illegal immigrants from Mexico to cities across the United States, taking back roads and traveling primarily at night to avoid the authorities, according to criminal complaints filed in Federal District Court. Twenty-two people were arrested earlier this week on charges of using their businesses to transport illegal immigrants. The bus companies worked exclusively with smuggling operations, officials said. The owners paid commissions of up to $300 for each passenger to smugglers who had brought the immigrants across the Mexican border. Then they held the immigrants in safe houses for days, often under guard, until they loaded them onto vans, according to court documents. Agents said that at one of the bus companies raided this week, Super Express Van Tours, they found the operators had used pit bulls and armed guards to keep the immigrants from leaving a safe house next door to the office. “These were not legitimate transportation companies like Greyhound,” said John Connolly, the deputy special agent in charge in Houston for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The companies also charged far more than legitimate carriers would for the trips, asking them to pay as much as $650 for a ride to cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta and Miami. The fee was usually paid at the end of the journey by relatives of the immigrants, officials said. In some cases the drivers refused to release the passenger if the family could not pay, the complaints said. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/05/us/05bus.html What do U think ?

Resolved Question: Can I get evicted in Georgia..................?

Recently my family received a summons to answer in 7 days to a eviction notice my landlord has had the munipal court to issue. Now, I am guilty of not paying my rent in two months, I haven't had the money. I recently filed my taxes and was told i would recieve them by the 12th or 19th of the month. I have to answer by the 11th of the month in court. My landlord says don't worry about it, just pay the rent up when you receive your taxes and we will take care of the eviction, they even told me not to worry about coming to court since we have made arrangements. My question is (I don't trust them) wiil I get in trouble with law if I don't show up and listen to them? Can I lawfully make arrangement to pay them after the day i am suppose to answer in court? more

Resolved Question: ALL states should make this a law you think ?

OKLAHOMA MAY JUST BE THE PLACE TO LIVE! An update from Oklahoma : Oklahoma law passed, 37 to 9, had a few liberals in the mix, an amendment to place the Ten Commandments on the front entrance to the state capitol. The feds in D.C., along with the ACLU, said it would be a mistake. Hey this is a conservative state, based on Christian values...! HB 1330 Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway. Oklahoma recently passed a law in the state to incarcerate all illegal immigrants, and ship them back to where they came from unless they want to get a green card and become an American citizen. They all scattered. HB 1804. Hope we didn't send any of them to your state. This was against the advice of the Federal Government, and the ACLU, they said it would be a mistake. Guess what.......... Oklahoma did it anyway. Recently we passed a law to include DNA samples from any and all illegals to the Oklahoma database, for criminal investigative purposes. Pelosi said it was unconstitutional. SB 1102 Guess what........ Oklahoma did it anyway. Several weeks ago, we passed a law, declaring Oklahoma as a Sovereign state, not under the Federal Government directives. Joining Texas , Montana and Utah as the only states to do so. More states are likely to follow: Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolina's, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, West Virginia, Mississippi, Florida. Save your confederate money, it appears the South is about to rise up once again. HJR 1003 The federal Government has made bold steps to take away our guns. Oklahoma, a week ago, passed a law confirming people in this state have the right to bear arms and transport them in their vehicles. I'm sure that was a set back for the criminals (and Obamaites). Liberals didn't like it -- But ... Guess what........... Oklahoma did it anyway. Just this month, my state has voted and passed a law that ALL driver's license exams will be printed in English, and only English, and no other language. We have been called racist for doing this, but the fact is that ALL of our road signs are in English only. If you want to drive in Oklahoma , you must read and write English. Really simple. By the way, Obama does not like any of this. Guess what.......Oklahoma is doing it anyway.

Voting Question: How much notice does Georgia law say a landlord must give before filing for an eviction in court?

I live in Georgia. Our landlord did not give us a written or verbal notice that he was evicting us. We had no idea. We were in Nevada when they called and asked us to think about it. They said that it would be better if we put our things in storage instead of paying rent on a house that we were rarely there. We were a self employed moving company that often spent 2 to 3 weeks between GA and the West coast. We thought on it for a few days. We told them verbally and via email that we would take their advice and move out as soon as we got home in 2 to 3 weeks. We gave them progress reports during that time. Before we got home they had already filed a dispossessory and it was already too late to answer it. They said on the affidavit that we refused to move. That was a lie. I called them and they said don't worry about it, they could cancel it. But they didn't. Judge gave them a Writ of Possession. It was never served on us. My husband found them boxing up our stuff when he went there to get some pictures. My dad had passed away the day before and we were getting things ready for the funeral. We never recieved any kind of notice. All we knew is that we were moving our things as soon as we got home.This happened in March. I've been finding more and more laws they've ignored. I'm already out of the house. Is it too late? more

Resolved Question: So states are seeking to ban mandatory health insurance?

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. --" Although President Barack Obama's push for a health care overhaul has stalled, conservative lawmakers in about half the states are forging ahead with constitutional amendments to ban government health insurance mandates. The proposals would assert a state-based right for people to pay medical bills from their own pocketbooks and prohibit penalties against those who refuse to carry health insurance. In many states, the proposals began as a backlash to Democratic health care plans pending in Congress. But instead of backing away after a Massachusetts election gave Senate Republicans the filibuster power to halt the health care legislation, many state lawmakers are ramping up their efforts with a new enthusiasm. The moves reflect the continued political potency of the issue for conservatives, who have used it extensively for fundraising and attracting new supportersThe legal impact of any state measures may be questionable because courts generally have held that federal laws trump those in states. Lawmakers in 34 states now have filed or proposed amendments to their state constitutions or statutes rejecting health insurance mandates, according to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a nonprofit group that promotes limited government that is helping coordinate the efforts. Many of those proposals are targeted for the November ballot, assuring that health care remains a hot topic as hundreds of federal and state lawmakers face reelection. Legislative committees in Idaho and Virginia endorsed their measures this past week. Supporters held a rally at the Pennsylvania Capitol. And hearings on the proposed constitutional amendments were held in Georgia and Missouri. The Missouri hearing drew overflow crowds the day after Obama urged federal lawmakers during his State of the Union address to keep pressing to pass a health care bill. The Nebraska Legislature plans a hearing on a measure this coming week. The legal effect of any state measures may be questionable, because courts generally have held that federal laws trump those in states. Yet supporters of the state measures portray them as a way of defending individual rights and state sovereignty, asserting that the federal government has no authority to tell states and their citizens to buy health insurance."

Resolved Question: What is best way of getting our security deposit back?

Last March we moved out. Since then we have been trying to get the landlord to give us our $650 security deposit back. They have ignored our demands. We also asked them to put in writing what they used it for.They refused that also. There was no damage to the home. They did hire a cleaner to clean afterwards for $175. That would be fine, but they say we still owe them for that. They didn't take it out of the security deposit. It's my understanding that we are entitled to 3 times the amount if they don't follow the law. I have emails showing where I've asked for it. Should I still send a certified letter? Or just go straight the judge and file a lawsuit? We live in Georgia.Thank you for ya'lls advice! God bless! more

Resolved Question: How do you feel about illegal aliens bringing their "Gang" culture, drugs&violence to all corners of the U.S.?

21 arrested in Milwaukee in nationwide gang investigation By Georgia Pabst of the Journal Sentinel Posted: Jan. 27, 2010 The suspected leader of the Mexican Posse street gang was among 21 people arrested in the Milwaukee area as part of a nationwide initiative called "Project Big Freeze," which has led to the arrest of 476 suspects across the country, federal officials announced Wednesday. Working with local and state officials, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement led the operation, which took place in 83 cities across the country focusing on gangs with ties to drug trafficking organizations, said Gail Montenegro, speaking for the immigration agency in Chicago. Of the 21 arrested in metro Milwaukee between Jan. 19 and Jan. 21, 14 are in ICE custody and pending removal proceedings, she said. The remaining seven were arrested by Milwaukee police on outstanding warrants and state drug charges, she said. The 14 in ICE custody are Mexican nationals who are members or associates of the Mexican Posse street gang, she said. Twelve of the 14 are in the U.S. illegally, and two are lawful permanent residents whose criminal convictions render them eligible for deportation, she added. Most of those arrested here have extensive criminal histories, she said. Among those arrested is a 40-year-old illegal immigrant believed to be the leader of the Mexican Posse gang in Milwaukee. He has prior convictions for drug possession and was previously arrested for attempting to flee from law enforcement, Montenegro said in a news release. Another of those arrested is a 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Mexico who as a member of the Mexican Posse has a criminal record that includes convictions in Milwaukee for theft of movable property and additional arrests for possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, carrying a concealed weapon and violating a restraining order, she said. Both men are in ICE custody pending removal from the United States, she said. "Street gangs pose a growing public safety threat to communities throughout the Milwaukee metropolitan area," said Gary Hartwig, special agent in charge of the ICE office of investigations in Chicago, which oversees Wisconsin. At a news conference Wednesday on the south side, Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn said those arrested are responsible for dozens of crimes on the south side, largely crimes involving drugs and weapons, but including aggravated assault, burglary, street robbery and various other crimes. Police Officer Evelyn Lazo and Detective Thomas Obregon of the department's intelligence unit had both been investigating the Mexican Posse when the department learned that ICE's "Project Deep Freeze" investigation was in the planning stages, Flynn said. More than 30 Milwaukee police officers and detectives worked on the case with ICE, he said. "Our strong working relationship with our federal partners like ICE allows us to conduct operations that help us get dangerous criminals off our streets and keep us on track with our mission to reduce crime, fear and disorder," Flynn said. Nearly half of those arrested nationwide during this operation were members or associates of gangs with ties to drug trafficking operations in Mexico, South America and Asia, Montenegro said. Transnational street gangs have significant numbers of foreign national members and are frequently involved in human smuggling and trafficking, narcotics smuggling and distribution, identity theft and benefit fraud, money laundering, weapons smuggling and arms trafficking, cyber crimes and other crimes that intersect with the border, she said. Like other street gangs, these transnational gangs have a propensity toward violent crimes, including robbery, extortion, assault, rape and murder, she added. Of the 476 arrested, 151 were U.S. citizens. The others who are foreign nationals face deportation either now or when their criminal prosecution is complete, she said. more

Should all who apply for a business license be made sure that they are here legally? Should this be a national requirement for all businesses? Should illegal aliens be allowed to own a business here since they have disrespected our laws? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX City business owners must prove citizenship Filling out an application is not enough anymore. Business owners within the city of Conyers must now confirm they are in the country legally before they can run a business. Reporter: By Alena Parker, Staff Reporter Email Address: alena.parker@rockdalecitizen.com CONYERS — Filling out an application is not enough anymore. Business owners within the city of Conyers must now confirm they are in the country legally before they can run a business. Local government agencies were recently called to verify citizenship and immigration status of business owners through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, program of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Conyers City Council voted Jan. 20 to enter into an agreement with the federal agencies though Conyers city attorney Michael Waldrop noted they did not have much choice. “The Georgia Legislature has required that cities and counties participate in the SAVE program to verify the legality of those who do business and receive benefits from the city,” Waldrop told the council members. Councilman Marty Jones voiced concerns that paying for notary services every year, in addition to getting a business license, would be inconvenient “on the operations side.” “People who write the regulations don’t have to live by them,” Jones said. The new requirement will affect the roughly 1,800 businesses in Conyers. “Unless you have a notary in your office, the proprietor is going to have to go somewhere — whether it’s the city, the bank, the post office, somewhere — to get someone to notarize this document (affidavit), swearing that he is, in fact, a legal citizen or here legally, whatever the status may be,” Waldrop said. The new requirement will affect those applying for retirement benefits, health benefits, contracts, alcoholic beverage licenses, occupation tax certificates, taxi cab licenses, insurance company licenses, pawn brokers licenses, massage therapists licenses, billiard room operations licenses, precious metals and gems dealers licenses, conducting flea market licenses and peddlers and itinerant trades licenses, according to the city documents. more
