OK. I'll buy in. I'm as conservative and as "enforce the law" and "secure the border" as you can get. I am the grandson of legal immigrants who came through Ellis Island 100 years ago and they had to have US sponsors, they were checked for all manner of diseases, and as well as could be done back then, criminal background checks from their country of origin. There was no welfare state then either. Here is my compromise: The illegal children of illegal immigrants will be granted the opportunity to attend a college or university at in-state tuition rates, they will be granted a temporary student visa while attending school and a temporary work visa to get a job while attending school. If they leave school both visas are cancelled. Upon graduation 2 years of service is mandated in the Armed Forces, Peace Corps, or other civil service work to be deemed acceptable. Upon completion of all these requirements a permanent Green Card will be issued and US Citizenship can be applied for in 1 year. Now for the parents who dragged these kids through the desert and across our border illegally in the first ... Hilarious, horrifying and unashamedly boorish, the most shocking thing about Generation Kill, which follows US marines in Iraq, is that it's true Iraq, 2003. A US marine relieves himself on a desert roadside and ruminates. "People been fighting over this bitch since ancient times, dawg," he says to his peeing cohort. "How many graves you think we're standing on? It's destiny, dawg. White man's gotta rule the world." The 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, storming through Iraq in the opening weeks of the war, turn out to be a crew of incompetents. Driven by testosterone and boredom, they're more concerned about a rumour that J-Lo has died than they are about their mission. They have no maps or batteries for their kit, but hold meetings about grooming standards (no beanies till dusk, no drooping taches). In 1st Recon, nice guys finish last and those who ignore protocol prosper. Hilarious, horrifying and unashamedly boorish, Generation Kill follows Rolling Stone reporter Evan Wright, who is embedded with these men – and presumed a "dope-smoking peace freak" until they find out he used to write for Hustler. Wright rides with James Trombley, a gun-toting, bloodthirsty badass; and Josh Ray Person, a driver ... Couple arrested on murder charges after body found dumped in desert The Army plans to hold desert trials in the U.S. to test off-the-shelf iPhones, Androids and tablet computers for use in war. Singer Khaira Arby Won Mali's highly respected Tamani D'Or Award, distinguishing her as among Mali's greatest artists of the last 50 years. Given by the Malian music industry, the award... The Army plans to hold desert trials in the U.S. next week to test off-the- shelf iPhones, Androids and tablet computers for use in war. Our readers weigh in. The Army plans to hold desert trials in the U.S. to gauge whether off-the- shelf iPhones, iPads, Androids and other smartphones and tablets can be of use to soldiers in combat. Biologists from BrightSource Energy scan vegetation for desert tortoises in the Mojave Desert. Many of the areas planned for solar development in California are in fragile landscapes. SALLOUM, Egypt -- This trash-strewn, windy desert plateau that marks the frontier with Libya was a tangle of minivans, station wagons and tour buses Tuesday - all ferrying home thousands of Egyptian workers who told of mercenaries, airstrikes and chaos in Moammar Gadhafi's violence-wracked country. The first emergency evacuation flight for British nationals stranded in Libya has taken off from Tripoli, but the government is facing criticism for failing to assist the many oil workers who are stuck in the Libyan desert **As applications for **the 2011 Inc. 500 | 5000 arrive, we thought it would be worthwhile to shine a spotlight on some of the companies that are vying to appear on our ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. (For more information and to apply, go to http://www.inc.com/inc5000apply/2011/index.html). One that caught our eye was Desert Jet, an aircraft charter and management company based in Thermal, California, near Palm Springs. Denise Wilson is an anomaly in the flying community. She is one of the nearly 600,000 active female pilots in the United States, just six percent of all active pilots in the country, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. She's been flying for the past 15 years including stints working for Aloha Airlines and other major airlines. What makes her even more rare is that she's also the founder and president of an aviation company, Desert Jet, which she launched in 2007. The company acts as brokers for corporations who own their own planes, thereby affording companies who own private aircrafts the opportunity to offset their expenses by chartering out their planes when they are not in use. This arrangement allows Desert Jet to have full ... EXCITING young Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy was unceremoniously sent packing from the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship today. A public area at 1000 Nights Camp, a Bedouin-style resort, in the Sharqiya Sands desert in Oman. The resort has been open since 2006. CARLSBAD CAVERNS NATIONAL PARK, N.M. - One by one, the tourists' headlamps grow dim and disappear as they venture farther into a fracture in the limestone, deep beneath the surface of southern New Mexico's scrubby desert. That Essex charm really does travel. As Olly Murs brings the laughs to North Africa. What happened when the government simulated a massive oil refinery accident. The slow road back for Tiger Woods took another detour Wednesday when he followed a clutch birdie with a shocking shot into the desert and lost to Thomas Bjorn in the first round of the Match Play Championship. OVERWATER bungalows, dolphin parks and an ocean in the desert have made this year's list of the world's best waterside hotels.
