No, the problem is people who break the laws of the United States of America and then kick us in the teeth every chance they get. Give me this, give me that—they demand it.

The Chamber of Commerce isn’t any better—give me, give me. Guess what...there isn’t much more left to give or to take from this country. Business won’t matter two freakin’ cents if the tax paying citizens have are taxed to death to cover the illegals granted citizenship and the jobs that will go to the new citizens.

I forget who on FR said it but they posted about picking over the carcass of this country and that was darn accurate. Get our house in order here, respect the law abiding, tax paying CITIZENS here, then they can start to think about immigration.

We can’t afford to be bleeding hearts...we can’t AFFORD IT.

I agree with you.

Much of our current problems I believe can be traced right back to the Ivy league schools and the creation and introduction of the MBA degree. Masters in Business Administration is what it stands for, (I think). The main ideas pushed in the MBA degree were streamlining for efficiency and the SHORT TERM bottom line.

And that sort of thinking works when there is a lot of fat in the the system. Fat is easier to cut and to show an immediate profit. Well guess what... It worked; now though to make short term profits even bigger you need to cut muscle. Muscle in this case is the hardest and most productive of your workers.

If someone gets sick or takes a vacation a business has to add on overtime or hire part-time or temporary workers to cover that loss in productivity.

What these MBA trained ‘managers’ have now latched onto as their solution to the lack of fat in their corporations and businesses is the idea of hiring ‘low cost’ ie. Low Paying workers. and the way to get them is to bring them in from out of the country in droves.

What they still don’t realize is that SOMEONE has to buy their products they are selling! And if the common American can’t buy the products made here in America then no matter how much they cut and how many low cost workers they bring in, their businesses are going to go bankrupt and that is that.

Of course the top executives won’t and don’t care; they’ve already ‘got theirs’ and yours and mine too. But the destruction and poisoned ground they have left on America will linger on for many generations to come.

And all because of a flawed line of reasoning from a left leaning ‘elite’ Ivy School system. Who said an idea couldn’t change the whole world given enough time and money behind it?
