Look at the last 8 letters of that word. That's the phrase that's censored. Apparently the system doesn't recognize that adding the letters "Ro" make it a different word altogether.

I welcome all immigrants.

BUT THEY MUST GO THROUGH THE PROPER LEGAL CHANNELS.

Yea its censoring the name of a piece of software for a certain web browser that stops banner ads...

Curious to anyone who knows does using it prevent subsim from getting any money from the ad when I browse the site?

Neal or anyone?

If it does I'll disable it for Subsim...

But advocates working with Colotl point out that a little-understood program already gives local authorities in many states the latitude to act as immigration officials

Is that by any chance the section of the Immigration and Nationality act which was added in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immmigrant Responsibility act whichdelegates authority to state and local bodies?
But they are NOT ALLOWED

As for the story, simple. Local law and federal law were broken, apply the laws.

Now here is a question to ponder: What should Jessica have done?

Clearly her parents were are fault for not establishing her citizenship (we don't know, but perhaps because they were here illegally). But that can hardly be Jessica's fault as she was an 11 year old kid when she came into this country.

So Jessica turns 18 and finds herself an adult illegal alien in the United States. She can't apply for instant citizenship. She has no home in Mexico. She may not even remember much of life in Mexico.

Would Mexico even accept her back? What would happen if Mexico would not take her back?

It is a shame that she has to bear the brunt of her parent's mistake.

But what were Jessica's options when she turned 18?

What could she have done, and what should she have done?

Go to the Mexican embassy, explain her situation,"parents immigrated illegally when i was a small child, i dont have a home or relatives in Mexico blah blah" and at least apply for an emergency issuance of a student visa or something similar (I'm almost 100% positive the embassy would have a recommendation).

This would give her the legal right to be in the country for X amount of time...in the mean time, apply for United States Citizenship while continuing to attend school.

EDIT
the situation she has been put in by her parents is just one more argument against illegal immigration and FOR securing our borders. Laws exist for a reason, and when those laws are no longer enforced or are outright ignored by a society... said society begins to fail.

Yeah, Neal's said in the past that it stops him from getting ad impressions and the revenue associated with such. I've whitelisted Subsim.

Maybe I'm a little thick, but '@dblocks' is being censored?

Yes it is. See my last post in this thread as to why.
