The right to a trial is a core principle of the American legal system. Depriving Americans of these essential liberties undermines the Constitution while doing nothing to strengthen our national security.
We need to be discussing issues specifically to help the American people. And that would not include illegal aliens. These are people - I'm for immigration - legal immigration.

Crime and legal stories, broadly speaking, are just where my interest happens to lie.
We all know how powerful the web can be for raising political money. Well, if you're game, the Duke Cunningham Legal Defense Fund is apparently ready to accept your donation.

I would expect illegal alien parents to take care of their children. If it means the kids go back home with them, that's what happens. If it means there are legal relatives in the United States that can take care of them, that can happen to. But I believe it's the parents responsibility to take care of the kids.
Literature is made upon any occasion that a challenge is put to the legal apparatus by conscience in touch with humanity.

Nearly every study shows that competition from cheap foreign labor undercuts the wages of American workers and legal immigrants.
A free and open Internet should not have to be weighed down by legal challenges - its dynamism is essential to our economy.

Even those who, like me, believe that Roe v.

Not a problem kid or anything like that so when you're in the legal system like that, it's always hard on a person for the first time to go through some things like that.
