Just what we need: more convicts. Perhaps they, too, can pick fruits, if Rohrabacher gets his way. Hardliners Fortunately, amnesty, a that cool saucer how high w of the Senate walls along responded new folks w recently with a recipe of meas- ures that return the debate to a realm resembling reason and reality. Their bill would boost border security, but also allow immigrants who already are here to work their way to legal status, temporary or per- manent, depending on how long they've been here. opp nd, ve b the jill Now, the heated process to reconcile the two measures could drag on and on, maybe even past the November elec- tions, which would be just fine with quite a few nervous incumbents in both parties. Yet, Congress should not be allowed to wiggle that easi- ly out of what many perceive ose another to be a grow- no matter ing immigra- uild fences or tion crisis. If e border, some nothing else, sneak in... Congress should deliver what it prom- ised in the 1986 but failed to deliver: Better border controls to keep new illegals out and an orderly process to lift those who already here out of the underground economy and into the mainstream work- force. I know, I know, neither goal is perfect. Hardliners oppose another amnesty, and, no matter how high we build fences or walls along the bor- der, some new folks will sneak in even if only by overstay- ing tourist or student visas. But we can't let the pursuit of perfection be the enemy of (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9) women? And even as society looks down on the porno industry, it still ranks as one of the world's largest industries. Loose women supply maga- zines with photos that have males and even some females, from age three to 93, drooling at the pages. Without loose women, all that would be zip, zero, nada. Then we have the loose women dancers who fill the strip joints and clubs, hav- ing lascivious men leer and salivate as they bump, grind and wine. Just mention the name go-go and watch the reaction of some men, men who are hooked on loose women, drawn like the moth to the flame, as the allure and lore of the loose woman excites and titillates him. Even a tight man will pour his money into a loose woman, rather than give it to his wife, or even his child. Loose women have that magnetism. When you watch those needed, if imperfect, improve- ments. Past immigration reforms failed not because they were bad laws but because they were not enforced. Our country, includ- ing its many newcomers, deserve better than that. Our leaders need to come up with HBO documentaries about hookers, you will understand. Men in fancy cars will cruise the streets in search of loose women, and the risks that they take are enormous. The wads of cash that they fork over are huge. Loose women can earn a good living. But it's not all glory and glamour, even for the high class call girls. The life of the loose woman isn't what it's cut out to be, as even though they're sought after, desired by men, yearned after, it's not usually for a long term relationship. But loose women need love too. The irony is, men will say that they want a loose woman, and they really do, but the usual phrase is: "Hey man, only for a good time, remember, some you marry and some you just have fun and run." The irony is, the few men who take the chance and set- tle down with a loose woman often regret it, for loose women often do not change and will exhibit looseness with other men. Why are you bitching, you knew that I was a loose woman when you met me, didn't I two time my husband with you?" I spoke to some good women (tight as opposed to loose?) who were lamenting the fact that they had no men, while others had men but the men seemed bored with them, lost interest, had no passion for them. "He says he wants me to act loose with him sometimes, but I just can't be what I'm not, I wasn't brought up that way," one told me. "I'm a balance in our immigration policy, not more baloney. 2006 by The Chicago Tribune.

THE TRICK The trick is to be all things to men, a good woman by day, but a loose woman by night. Few women have mas- tered that art, very few. What usually happens is that men will settle with good women, even marry them, but have loose women as mistresses. The loose women who I spoke to included multi-part- ners women, mistresses, plus some generally loose women who gave new meaning to the word promiscuity, and the one underlying theme from all of them was that they got no love, real love that is. "Oh, the men come, spend time, but always go home to their wives," was the common cry. Loose women are always left lonely, no matter how often the man visits, whether it's for a short term fund and fun lay away plan, or a mis- tress who lets him in, then lets him out before the crack of dawn, the feeling is the same, unloved and lonely. Men just don't seriously stick around with loose women. So even though they may look hot and sexy, healthy body and lusty, it's often a sad lonely life for a loose woman. Damn, damned if they do, and they do so often. Seidol@hotmail.com 0 Long live loose women Faris A. Hanna, M.D., EA.C.O.G, P.A. Offering The Women In North Dade Quality Healthcare.
