‘Since this young man was in U.S. illegally how is it that he had a Dodge Neon? How did he purchase a car? Who else knew he was illegal? I know when I bought my first car at 18 they were strict with me, and I am legal. Did this young man buy the car with cash? If so, the seller had to suspect something. Or didn’t they care? You hear of more and more illegals killing someone. When is it going to stop’?

‘I knew a girl who is a legal American who got her boyfriend (an illegal from Mexico) a car in her name. He made the payments and drove the almost brand new Ford Mustang. It’s insane.’
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘I can assure you that if anyone comes into a car lot with cash, the dealer won’t care who he is. He’s going to let the man have anything he wants.’
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘People run stop signs everyday and kill. If this illegal had been legal, he probably would have only gotten a citation.
And to all ‘ whose fault is it? It’s our government’s fault for not doing enough to stop illegals from coming here in the first place.
Who’s going around here to the nurseries where most of them work and checking them? Our sheriff’s department? No. Immigration officials? No.I’d just like to know why this is not being done.
It would tickle me to death to see someone come in here and do something about all this. I’m disgusted with it. If enough citizens would get together and make an effort to stop all this kind of thing, we might could punch a hole in it anyway. And I would be right there on the front row doing my part.’

‘What’s going to stop him when he gets out from making up a different name and coming back to the U.S.A. and driving again’?

What readers are saying about the funding shortfall that is delaying construction of a new Beersheba Street Bridge:
‘Wonderful how we can have $481B defense budget to police the world and also spend billions of more dollars building Iraqi infrastructure, yet we cannot take care of our projects in our own country ‘ despicable.’
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘I don’t care if a bridge is never built. The place already looks better to me.’
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘We can spend billions on aid around the world, but not take care of our own health care system. Rescind ALL the money going around the world Washington! Help your taxpayers first.’

What readers are saying about the plan to have North Chancery Street property owners help pay for widening the road:
‘Wal-Mart and/or the city should foot the bill. That road is in such poor condition because of the increased traffic that is a result of Wal-Mart. Wa-Mart makes millions of dollars from McMinnvillians every year.
The city has benefited from the increased tax revenue for 10 years since Wal-Mart has been there. Why not save some of that money and fix the road? It is not the fault of the taxpayers that everyone uses their road. They have the added burden of traffic and you want them to pay for the road too? Nonsense!’
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘Add a turning lane for the north lane of Chancery Street at Clark Blvd., and repave Chancery. My thinking is this would be sufficient improvement for the road at this time. Although this might put the desirability of the property, for commercial use, lower on the totem pole.’
