Vanity- Immigration Amnesty is right for the country especially now

"You know good and well why these small business guys can't get Americans to work at the jobs, much like the big business employers."

Actually, I don't (know good & well).
Call it nievete'.

"One, pay has sank relative to cost of living."

For who; us or them? (them=illegal)

"Secondly, most Americans do not want to work amongst people who do not speak English. Trust me, the second one, I guarantee, is a huge factor."
+
"It's been known that some employers do not want to hire English speakers, and that there is often a lot of harrassment directed towards Americans by illegals in these jobs."

That, I wouldn't doubt.
Jealousy, class warfare, & contempt I've always believed are proportional to the desperation of one's state.
Resentment by illegal Mexican workers must be a factor; which, frequently results in an awful lot of hostility & violence directed towards this nation's citizens.
Of course, we've been well conditioned not to see that, though.

I'd dare say the intense animosity is especially egregious whenever directed toward the caucasian, at that; &, for some interesting reasons not overtly obvious to the casual observer.

Modern urban centers are breeding grounds for dependency and passivity. We depend on authorities to protect us, to provide our electrical power, to provide our water, etc. These conditions are antithetical to a true conservative mindset. As the country becomes more urbanized, so also does it become less conservative, and there's no way to turn this around. Because, like you said, "Living in densely populated areas turns people into liberals."

I'm glad someone around here gets it.

When people live in cities, they are immersed in a man made environment--they live an artificial and dependent life that inspires all sorts of ill-conceived notions.

We were shaped by nature for nature--remove nature, remove struggle for the very basics of life, and you remove appreciation of the basics of life.

And the basics of life are the most important.

As people live in increasingly dense populations, basic needs are met in increasingly artificial ways, ways that remove people from understanding the cycle of life for which we are by nature designed.

Increase population density, and you increase a kind of madness: People living in cities are immersed in constant human feedback, where people interact with people and the things created by man--without the interruptions of nature that bring thinking back down to earth.

Consult this map of the 2000 election. This map shows that densely populated areas (the blue areas on the map) vote democrat:

Densely Populated Blue Areas Voted for Al Gore

One day, Americans may come to better understand the human need to live closer to nature.

Should that day arrive, will we have enough nature to afford everyone such a lifestyle, or will hundreds of millions only be able to wait in line for a chance to stare at some "wilderness park" through a window?

Yeah LMAO Jorge Bush really pulled in a winner for the Republicans this time didn't he. LMAO how can anyone call the Republicans Conservatives if utterly amazes me. We will start the bidding at Hispanic 500,000 votes. Do I hear 600,000 Hispanic votes? 600,000 votes promised from the amigo in the pointy hat. Do I hear 700,000 Hispanic votes? I got 700,000 votes promised from the neoCONservative business executive. Do I hear a million Hispanic votes promised? One million Hispanic votes promised from Vincente Fox. SOLD!!! The Alamo and the American Southwest to President Vincente Fox of Mexico!!

"I often wonder if the 'Drag them back over the border' group ever considers what this would look like to the rest of the country."

Urban renewal.

"White men don't clean toilets"

True.

That's my Puerto Rican wife's job. ;)

"We are at at WAR!!!! No time for patients bill of rights, no time for prescription drug plans, no time for school lunch programs or vouchers."

In the case of these things, it's good that there's no time, because federal involvement in them unconstitutional.

Securing our borders is constitutional.

"The truth is that Bush has already equaled the domestic record of Ronald Reagan in actual implementation of conservative principles."

You mean my paltry $600 tax cut? Puhleeze.

"The truth is that Bush has already equaled the domestic record of Ronald Reagan in actual implementation of conservative principles."

Apples and oranges.
