ParticipantI have a 2008 Sienna. I have problems entering the van and hitting my right knee on the bottom of the steering column just about every time I get in. That is with the seat all the way back and as low it can go. I am not that tall, 5’10 with relatively short legs (31″ inseam). The steering column is raised enough to keep all the gauges in full view. Once seated everything is comfortable, except the right arm rest. It is too short and curved awkward for the length of my arm. I don’t know how the new design is for 2010. I am not sure if the 2008 and 2009 are the same design.
Just as a note, I did test drive a Dodge Charger a while back and put the seat all the way back. I could barely touch the pedals. I could also sit comfortably in the back seat with the seat all the way back. I can do that in very few cars.

Participant[quote=briansd1]Lucky in OC. Enforcement of existing labor laws is not mutually exclusive from providing a path to legalization to the most vulnerable, but otherwise law-abiding and hardworking, immigrants already here.
That’s why comprehensive immigration reform is important.[/quote]
Brian,
You are talking to the wrong person about ‘most vulnerable’ immigrants. My wife and her family had to leave Iraq during the 1st Gulf War and flee to Italy. They had to stay there for 5 years before immigrating to the US under special circumstances where her two brothers were US citizens. After three years in the US, they saved enough to purchased a home in No. OC.
Her uncle and his family stayed behind in Iraq until the 2nd Gulf War. He had to flee Iraq to Turkey to protect his family from being killed by the mujahideen. I have copies of the original and officially transcribed death threats in my posession. He and his family were required to stay in Turkey as refugees. Although they wanted, they could not work or go to school in Turkey as classified refugees. They were forced to remain in Turkey for 5 years. They finally were able to immigrate to the US 2 years ago. Once the immigrated US, their family and Chaldean community in La Mesa helped them find housing and legal jobs without government support.
One of his sons and family stayed behind and was killed in his kitchen in front of his wife and kids by the mujahideen when coming home from work.
The Chaldeans are a very self-sufficient people and full of ethnic pride. Everyone I know immigrated here legally and waited their time, sometimes in refugee camps. They try support their own people without government handouts. When they were in Iraq, these people help feed and support our troops. I am sure there are many nations in the world that have similar stories. So, why should immigrants from the south have more right to immigrate than any other country. That does not seem fair. Actually, it sounds quite prejudicious. You are favoring hispanics over the rights of other ethic groups in the world.
