ilegal emigrants

The illegal emigrants comming into this country is becoming A very serious problam that should be addresed promptly and vigorasly. If they have been in this country for some time and proved to be good citizens we could give them six months to prove they are proficient in the english language and apply for citizen ship otherwise deport them and seal our borders . The english language is what this country is all about. All official documents and voting ballots should be printed in the english language only If we allow difrent ethnic groups to speak and do busines in their own native language we will evenualy have discord among the diffrent speaking communities and that will eventualy lead to serious problems, If they want to live in this country let them become americans and speak the language, This should be one country with one language. If we keep letting thes people come in and and use all our resourses we will soon be in the same shape as the counties they are trying to escape from. Lets give our police and border patrol agents some support, WE GIVE THEM WEAPONS TO PRTECT THEMSELVES AND ENFORCE THE LAW lets not be so fast to arrest them and chage them with abus or murder if some law breaker gets hurt or killed while the officers are trying to do their job.

office closings

steve Cutlers proposal to close the farm service office in Highmore and move it to Miller is doing A big disservice to the community of Highmore and the farmers it is serving. Some of the farmers and committe members already have to drive 30 miles to highmore to attend meetings apply for loans or whatever other busines they have to do with the agency. If the agency is moved to miller that would be another 22 miles. With gas at 265 per gallon A hundred plus mile round trip would cost the farmer A minimum of 15 dollars plus his time. That would create an additionl hardship on the farmers the agency to serve.And also the workers if they have to drive the extra miles to their jobs. And if new offices and facilities have to be provided is there realy any savings being realized, John.

supplament to my last blog

If congress would limit the new farm program to 200000 or 100000 or whatever amount A minimum of 50 % of that should be for conservation programs. for example if the limit was set at 100000 Afarmer could earn 50000 in none conservation programs and then he could earn another 50000 in conservation programs such as planting trees ,strip croping, terrasing ,soil bank or whatever would qualify as A conservation practice

farm program

Under the Bush proposal for the new farm program anyone making over $200000 in adjusted gross income would not recieve any farm program payments. He has the right idea but he is using the wrong approch .No one should be completly eliminated because of their adjusted groos income.but everyone should be limited to thee amount from farm program payments . I would suggest $100000 or less.that would keep our conservation programs that are good for our wild life habitat and the enviorment.Any excess income should be taken care of by the personal income tax on indivduals.that would give the farmers more of an even break with the opperators of other busineses.And keep our smaller operators on the farmes wich is good for the rural areas and the small towns. the present farm program that makes big payments to the big operators only encourages them to get bigger and squeeze out the smaller opperators.If more people would think and do what is best for the country as A whole and not just what is best for themselves this would be A much better country to live in and that goes for the whole world.
