Do U agree with the these Immigration arrests deserve renew call for crackdown in Mass & NY? Question: Federal agents conducted morning raids in Massachusetts and New York in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb, and two people were arrested, federal authorities and witnesses said Thursday. The searches were the product of evidence gathered in the investigation into Faisal Shahzad's alleged bombing attempt, but there was "no known immediate threat to the public or any active plot against the United States," FBI spokeswoman Gail Marcinkiewicz said. Marcinkiewicz would not confirm any addresses, but police cordoned off a small house in Watertown, a suburb about 10 miles west of Boston where a neighbor reported seeing an FBI raid. A Mobil gas station in Brookline, another Boston suburb, also was raided. The entrances and exits to the station were cordoned off by yellow tape, and FBI agents were going in and out of the building. Agents also searched a silver Honda in the parking lot, removing items from the vehicle and loading material into an SUV.FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said locations in Long Island also had been searched. Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said the two people taken into custody were being held on alleged immigration violations, but he would not provide more details. http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Blotter/wireStory?id=1063488 9 Answer: If we had the E Verify and the Biometric I.D., we would have had them a long time ago. And still... STILL the democrats and Republicans stall. We need to get our reps to respond to that question: do you support the E Verify. |

Should I live in Boston or the 'burbs? Question: Alright, so I have a job in a Massachusetts suburb, about an hour outside of Boston. And I can't decide if I want to live in a city area like Brookline, Brighton, or Cambridge or an Outside suburb, Lexington, Newton, Burlington, etc. Pro's and con list: City: Pros: It's in the middle of everything! I can make friends, have stuff to do, etc It's near a college and great architecture which I love! I'm not much of a club-goer or anything, but it's nice to have social options Cons: 'it's expensive: My budget is 2k, and I can't find anything over 500 sq feet in these areas! The commute: I've been commuting all my adult life, I don't want to drive an hour to get to work, even if it is a reverse commute (for what it's worth I'd only be doing it 3x a week, but I'm a shitty, shitty driver) Parking might be an issue (I can't NOT take my car, I have to get to work!) suburbs: pros: - It's cheaper, or at least I get more house for the money - I LOVE those comforts like in-unit laundry that I probably couldn't find in the city - It's a way shorter commute to work, like 20-30 minutes vs 40 or 50 minutes - Parking and owning a car is way easier (so is insurance) Cons: - They're in the middle of nowhere, and there's nothing to do past 9pm. I could drive into the city, but is that really likely something I'll do? - It's not Boston.... :-( - I'm a single young twenty something with no friends in the area. Do I really want to commit that kind of social suicide by moving to the suburbs? Answer: Move to Boston. You are only young once. You would trade all the fun of Boston for laundry???Give up your car and find public transportation to work. Driving is bad on any given day, but wait till the winter and no place to park when all those No Parking/Plowing Streets signs come out. Think of the towing fees. The suburbs are boring. Find a room mate and split costs, figure out your commute. You will so regret being out of it in the suburbs! |
