It's been said that infants & young children can weather these diseases which helps strengthen their immune systems so only teens & adults need vaccinations if they weren't exposed as infants.

You are reading one hell of a lot into this opinion piece and the intentions of the news organizations that are simply reporting on the activities and words spoken by the buffoon you and so many Alaskans fell for. Are you at all upset with the fact that it costs you and I $10 Million for each and everyone of trumps golfing trips to his money making estate in Florida? Three so far when one of his main complaints about the former president was his golfing activities that didn't even begin until many months into his first year. How about those tax returns and his wife's immigration forms flyguy? He promised to release them but now refuses. What is he hiding? He promised to release Mel's real immigration papers but now refuses. What are they hiding?

What would be said about her not releasing tax forms? Sad. | 4 | On the editorial pages is where those author's pieces should be. No problem there. But, in case you did not read my post, it is my opinion that, since ADN lost the AP as a source for its "news" it has simply been taking from the W Post and the NYT. And their "news" articles are more opinion than news and except for the rare articles that have balance are uniformly anti Trump in their tone and content. It's no secret that these outlets want to disparage Trump in their reporting. And it is no secret that the publisher of ADN is heartbroken over the election results and is doing what she can to disparage Trump. Finally, it is very obvious that a large majority of the cadre of those who comment on this forum are liberals who cannot come to grips with the outcome of the election.

This is a program to run the american government into the ground and open the doors for many repetitions of the lead-in-water fiasco in Michigan and Gulf Coast oil spills.
It is also opening the door for gigantic budget deficits once they see that gutting the government will only get them maybe a quarter of the savings they want to find.

Homer does tell everyone that they are welcome here, we do it through our actions, through the community resources that feed, clothe and help the needy and the strangers that come though. We do it through it the many businesses, the high school and college students, and the church mission groups that go to third world countries to help and serve others. Hang around in any of the coffee shops and you're bound to hear someone talking about their trip to South Africa or the Phillipines. Homer is an amazing place. We work together and do not need 'to reaffirm' as this resolution states. We will have to agree to disagree, and I thank you for the civil conversation. | 4 | I would disagree with your statement. Though i'm sure the original resolution was clearly anti-trump in nature. This one is not. This resolution is unifying in nature and wants everyone to work together for the common good. Just because there are State and Federal laws, does not mean you don't enact a local resolution if you feel your government is not addressing or enforcing laws that voice all of your concerns. What works in Anchorage may not work for Homer and that is their right as a community to address this. Many of our minority groups are under attack, sadly because of the rhetoric of the new administration, especially in the LGBTQ and immigrant communities.
I see this as Homer telling their community that all are welcome here, as long as you are law abiding and accepting of other values and beliefs, and we will do our best to fight to protect your rights and pursuit of happiness.

779 voted for Trump.
Out of those that did indeed vote, 47% were for Trump, therefore he does have the lead, however, just knowing that 53% of Homer's actual voters went with other candidates is telling that the community doesn't entirely support Donald Trump.

The problem is the distribution, since that wealth only shows up in the accounts of those who hold assets not in incomes.

It's not right, its not fair, its activist journalism and it has no place in the so-called "paper of record" | 4 | "...Then the lawyer for the three accused dropped out and the third accusers dropped their complaint without explanation. This case went all the way to the BC Supreme court, the accusers were given every benefit of the doubt and the full resources of the court. Mr Furlong is clearly the victim here, not his accusers, and G&M is not being fair to the Mr Furlong by refusing the disclose the facts."
Quick question? Sorry about your spell check, but did all three accusers drop their complaint or one of the three accusers. The grammar is difficult to understand in your sentence. If the presumed "third accusers" dropped his or her complaint, without explanation, then it must have been on the advice of his/her lawyer. Often this gets down to resources of prosecutor's money, no matter how generous the BCSC was with its resources.

1,067,728 | [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0] | This probably helps explain why US immigrants are less likely to be unemployed than US born citizens while Canadian immigrants are MORE likely to be unemployed than Canadian born citizens. That and all the refugees who have little skill, education or language skills, and who will likely never work at anything more than minimum wage, if that. | 6 | But you don't understand the US system - it is not about the number, it is about the mix - economic vs. family. Matching the Canadian rules means eliminating the Diversity lottery (55,000) and the sibling category (65,000 ). The available 120,000 would go to economic immigrants. That would adjust the balance to more like 50/50, and if they eliminate the eligibility for green cards for children over 21, it would go much farther. Canada's Family Class does not include any children or siblings over 18 right now (soon to be over 21) and we have nothing like a Diversity Lottery which issues green cards to countries which are below their 5 year average, on a lottery basis.
So, just change the mix.
One final difference - US economic immigrants are all employed before they get their green cards - many for several years. Canada brings in workers based on skills, but many have no hope of employment. Maybe we should copy the US in this area and save billions in settlement costs. | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0] | [45587841, 45404169, 45312025, 45596860, 45254602] |

Since it would have to occur on Trump’s watch, Obama passed on the final decision to Trump. 5. Secretary of Defense Mattis was briefed on the plan soon after he assumed his job, found it to be sound and recommended it be approved by Trump. 6. It was time-sensitive, so it does not matter what Trump was doing when he gave his approval. 7. The raiding force met with unanticipated resistance, a fire fight ensued during with Owens was killed. 8. Computers, cell phones and other materials were seized which contained valuable intelligence about Islamic terrorist operations. 9.

I suspect many of them would not affirm it it if they knew about it, in any case yet we are called upon to affirm it?

Yet, Lutheran and Anglican Protestants are not asked to repeal or amend their Augsburg Confession or Thirty-Nine Articles (or is it Forty-Two ;) to affirm their belief in Transubstantiation (not Consubstantiation) in order to present themselves for a Catholic altar call.
Mister Kung is a Protestant, in fact, in the best sense of the term, and I say this with the utmost sincerity. A Protestant Christian clings to 'protest' for identity, and Mr. Kung has been protesting the Catholic Church for many decades. One cannot continue to protest the Catholic Church while accepting an invitation to 'break bread' with Papists.

There is a very good legal reason why refugee claimants (not asylum seekers which are a completely different class of persons) are not being charged in respect of their entry to Canada.
Under Article 31 of the 1951 Convention on Refugees Canada has undertaken to not prosecute refugee claimants for illegal entry into Canada including any issues of false documents or fraud relating to that entry.
Canada has enacted that exemption into our domestic law as required by the Convention in various iterations of our immigration legislation over the years. Currently that exemption is contained at s. 133 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
So no charges because the law exempts refugees recognizing that refugees who are fleeing persecution are different from other migrants. | 5 | Interesting that they have not been charged with "illegal" entry into Canada. "Illegal" entrants have more rights to stay in Canada than legal entrants.

1,070,269 | [0, 0, 0, 0] | Good explanation. What you have explained is that the justification of the decision has nothing to do with the issue of illegal entry, contrary to what I took the passage quoted to imply. What matters on your explanation ---which is very clear, by the way, as well as logically coherent---is simply whether someone is in Canada and makes a refugee claim, which in turn makes him or her exempt from any charge or legal determination of illegal entry. ("God's eye view" judgements of illegal entry as opposed to legal judgements in accordance with our constitution and laws and courts, are, I take, of , no legal relevance. ) | 4 | Your logic does not track.
The reason they are not being charged is that s. 133 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act exempts refugees from charges pertaining to their illegal entry per Canada's obligations under the 1951 Convention on Refugees - Article 31.
The Safe Third Country Agreement exploits a loophole not the other way around as many do not seem to understand. The Safe Third Country Agreement pertaining to the USA exploited a loophole in the 1985 Singh decision - Singh v Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration), [1985] 1 S.C.R. 177. That case held everyone physically IN Canada had Charter rights per s. 7 (security of the person and fundamental justice (our version of due process) including refugee claimants without legal status.
Technically a refugee claimant at a Port of Entry is not yet IN Canada and therefore if coming from the US can be sent back even if a claim for refugee status is indicated.
