I'll calling for a public debate on illegal immigration, and want to invite Ed Sifuentes, Bill Flores from El Grupo, Ruben Navarrette Jr., Ed Morones, and leaders of the local chapters of MEChA and NCLR. I would also like to invite Duncan Hunter, Brian Bilbray, and other media representative as well. In fact I challenge the NCT to put this together for the next Latino Roundtable, so that me and many other concerned Americans can confront this issue. How about it Ed, are you game?

This is a joke right? wrote on Feb 16, 2008 12:06 AM:They say it will only be a 'few bad apples?' This is a joke, right? Of course the aliens are complaining about a six month wait (while they collect welfare albeit), cause they don't want their criminal record to pop up before they get their GET IN FREE CARD! Instead, give them a get outta dodge card, don't pass go, don't collect another $200 in this further downgrading of "America".

So can Boris pull it off? And do the Tories really want him to?

But there is nervousness, too, among the Cameron camp. A column by Philip Stephens in the Financial Times which suggested the leadership would like Johnson to lose narrowly, scaring Livingstone and showing the Tories could score in the capital, has been much discussed at Westminster this week.

Few know Cameron's real view and senior figures in the Tory campaign are adamant the speculation is untrue. Some officials say the London election is too singular to draw wider conclusions. But while Johnson is a supporter of Cameron and signed-up moderniser, Crosby's strategy may encourage the view that the party should return to its base to hoover up voters.

There is dismay in the Livingstone camp at the relatively easy ride Johnson receives in the media. Their man, they say, is subject to almost daily beatings in the Evening Standard by Andrew Gilligan, the former Today reporter who sparked the David Kelly affair.

Ahmadinejad: Iran ready for talks with US on Iraq

The president said the big powers, being thousands of kilometers away, should avoid interfering in the internal affairs of regional countries and let them run their affairs themselves.

He said the region would be more secure and more peaceful without presence of foreigners and "We think a great service the big powers can offer to the region is their respect for the nations' votes and views."

He went on to say that regional nations have gained nothing from foreigners' presence but ruins, misery, humiliation and insult.

He added, "The big powers themselves, which have come there from thousands of kilometers away, have gained nothing too."

He noted that the only thing the big powers have got in the egion is regional people's more hatred of them.

Addressing Iraqi and foreign media in Iraq, President said he is visiting Iraq upon an invitation of Iraqi President Jalal Talabani and in response to his earlier Tehran visit.

She was, however, happy to talk about her pride at her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next week. "It's 25 years of writing, producing and recording," she said. "That's a long time to do a job well, I might add. "So, yeah - it's a great sense of accomplishment."
