I never said I believed that he was an illegal alien. He fits the profile. And we live in a time and age when politicians, the news media and government agencies who have their strings pulled by politicians might do their darndest to suppress that information from you and me because it's interpreted as being too much of a political hot potato if it is made public.

Who said I was a Tea Partier? I'd just like immigration laws enforced. Does one have to be an arch-conservative Tea Partier to also want immigration laws enforced? My idea of "comprehensive immigration reform" would be to simply enforce the laws that have been on the books for decades and haven't been enforced for decades and not rewarding lawbreakers by giving them driver's licenses, out-of-state college tuition and other perks that sends a message to millions more of them that, they too, should also make the trek north.
That's all. My views really aren't THAT radical. Maybe old-fashioned, but not radical.

I never said you were. But there are a lot of participants both here and on TO who DO expect Amtrak to be self-supporting.

I never said it did. Are we somehow not supposed to mention Amtrak in the same discussion as commuter agencies?

Some of your comments aren't all that competent either.
