You want no immigration? Is that a joke? So you just want the country to shrink (since it would without that)?

Honestly, I've lived enough in the South to know exactly what you are, Coach. Trust me. Seen it many times over and I know the rhetoric perfectly. Like I say, glad your side is fading away because as it has (and continues to do) not only is the South becoming wealthier but more conservative as well. The yellow dog populists like you are a dying breed in the South.

Economies built on low-wage jobs create low wage jobs. You need to bone up a little.

This is so false, it's sad. I doubt you really believe it though and are just looking for something to say to support your anti-immigrant position. Cheaper labor exists because people are willing to work where others are not. Not only do the immigrants make more than where they came from, but the business owners make more as well creating a more competitive pricing environment (as well as a better investments market) which strengthens the real wages of everyone else in the area. Sorry, Coach, I don't want your radical federal government totalitarianism. Thankfully, neither do most Americans, and our great conservative President realizes this.

Great article here on Lt. General Ricardo Sanchez. Growing up as a dirt poor Mexican immigrant to a single mother on welfare, it's funny to know that half of FR would rather have him deported.
