Rebuttal to Mexican President Calderon

You have to listen to this speech by Representative McClintock of the 4th district of California.



Here is the actual writing by President Theodore Roosevelt:
"We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."
January 3, 1919 (three days before his death)

A top Department of Homeland Security official reportedly said his agency will not necessarily process illegal immigrants referred to them by Arizona authorities. John Morton, assistant secretary of homeland security for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), made the comment during a meeting on Wednesday with the editorial board of the Chicago Tribune, the newspaper reports.

Don't you think it is about time that this traitorous administration was eliminated?

Hewlett-Packard Looses Lawsuit Over Incompetent Tech Support

On Sunday, December 6, 2009 I purchased a new Hewlett-Packard Officejet 6000 color printer. After spending over an hour in attempting to install the software that came with it, I called HP technical support and spoke to Samarjeet in Pakistan. He took control of my computer from his location and spent about an hour trying to identify the problem. Eventually, after putting me on hold for fifteen minutes, he announced that he had identified two services on the computer that needed to be running and that would not start automatically.
He proceeded to edit the registry as a solution to getting these two services to run. Upon rebooting, the computer would not function anymore. I asked Smarjeet if he had backed up the registry before he modified it. He replied that he had. I asked him to walk me though the process to restore the registry backup but he said he could not do that. He said that a supervisor would call me back on Monday which never happened.
I called HP tech support on Monday morning, December 7, 2009 and spoke with a person in Canada. I asked if he could send someone to my home office to repair the computer so that I could proceed with conducting my business. He said that HP did not have any people available to repair computers. I asked and he located some IT firms near my location. I engaged TekScape to repair my computer and the technician was at my home office later in the morning and spent most of the day rebuilding my hard drive and reinstalling Windows and most of the system drivers. I spent an additional two full days reinstalling all of my software and data.
I contacted HP and aksed them to reimbuse me my costs. They offered me $150 which was an insult. I filed suit in small claims court. HP sent a manager from their service group to represent them in court. He argued that the warranty didn't cover data or software. I pointed out to the judge that I wasn't making a claim against the product for breach of warranty. Rather my claim was for negligence on their part causing me to suffer damages. I have been awarded $800 plus court costs.
It's about time that these US companies hiring incompetent foreigners were made accountable for their acts. By the way, the printer cost my about $90.
