I think you are correct - most people that did not experience the effects of the H-1B and L=1 visa program do not see this new work visa policy for what it is. They do not realize that this new program will decimate many professions in the USA the same way the H-1B work visa program decimated the engineering profession. Illegal immigration will be the least of their concerns. Blue Card = Look out American worker your job is next.
Well, CJ, at least you are consistent. The same "tow the party line, no matter who it destroys" that you've always been.
Well, you won't be bothered by my posts for too much longer. Because of policies like the one Pres. Bush wants to push on us and GOD only knows what the congress will embelish it to be.....I am broke. I won't be able to pay for internet.
Now, go ahead and assume anything you'd like about me, because you will anyway. But I'll put my life history up against yours any day...that includes helping foreigners out who make this country their home. But when it switched to where they had more rights than a good citizen who paid taxes for 56 years, never owed a person a dime..EVER, NEVER used a government program and STILL lost everything...I STOPPED towing the line. One day this is gonna hit you and people like me and sauropod won't be there to help your sorry ass.
When this country is finally diluted down to it's lowest common denominator, and that's real close to happening, the world will NEVER have another chance to get it right. I don't intend to be a part of promoting that.
Pretty uppity on your part counselor, and a bit dismissive.. This problem is a scant more complex than your puff piece. But thanks for your suggestions, it is a start that at least we are addressing the problem.

"But that is just speculation and conjecture that he is pandering. Perhaps those who claim that President Bush is pandering are really just pandering themselves, while what President Bush is proposing is based solely upon what is in the best interests of the nation.

Maybe you can answer where the faux conservative could not.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the country's foreign-born population in March 2002 was 32.5 million, about 11.5 percent of the total U.S. population — 52.2 percent of whom were born in Latin America. This compares to 19.7 million foreign-born residents in 1990, 14 million in 1980 and 9.5 million in 1970, according to Census Bureau records."
Sounds to me like we have increased immigration beyond what ever occurred in the past. Just saw a Spanish TV commercial on Nickelodeon.
Sorry, pod, I have no idea what that is...guess I sneaked in an html code....it should have said "property rights"....something we used to have in this country, remember?LOL!!
Just to be clear, a GREEN card is a permanent resident visa. It is the card granted to legal immigrants, many who have waited years to be allowed to immigrate and have been sponsored (meaning someone has pledged that they will not become a burden on society). Once one has a green card, they basically have all the rights of a citizen except the right to vote. So yes, they can buy property, pay taxes, hold a job, send their children to school, become members of society. In five years, they can become citizens if they pass the exam and do not have a criminal record.
You can thank the moral-liberal baby-boomers for that fact.
I've seen clowns like this plenty of times here on FR. I'll bet it's got a cute, bright red rubber nose anyways. :-)
"Explain to me how Campaign Finance Reform is in the best interests of the nation.
This is a red herring, Bush didn't start this nonsense, but he did finish it.. This will burn the liberals who wanted a campaign issue. They and everyone else thought it would be overturned and the lefties got snookered. No way this will hurt the RNC fundraising, or the Rush, Talk Radio - Fox, contingency.. advantage America!
" Explain to me how the "guest worker" program is in the best interest of the nation.
No one has seen this bad boy yet, but if the rhetoric is anywhere close to the mark, this will start the famed Slippery Slope in immigration. The left hates it because it begins the registration process, and much like the GUN REGISTRATION fears this has teeth that can stop the States from overriding the Feds in cracking down on documentation..
If my guess is correct, and I would bet heavy on it if I were you.. LOL, we will begin to see the La Raza and other Chicano/Latino Civil Rights organization's start to really scream, and sweat.. no more motor voter for the registrants, no more double dipping in state and federal programs, and this is just a prayer, no more Social Security because of work requirements.. This problem is as much a state problem because of liberal programs to encourage the Democrat base, gone nuts, than a Fed border crossing dilemma, although that is certainly a fact.. Grand Slam, America
"Explain to me how the non-means-tested prescription drugs for seniors new entitlement is in the best interest of the nation.
Strictly political, and a forgone conclusion. Better we brought it to the floor, with long range goals or the Dems would have.. WE get to craft it and win an election.. Hat Trick, America
"Explain to me how the bloated farm bill and education bill (no child left behind) is in the best interest of the nation.
Words without meaning, for the "left behind propaganda", and the farm money was coming anyway, with a catch that the environmental wacko's don't think will get done, .. The TEA can't bite this bullet.. if the Dems in the Education scam endorse it they get more testing only this time teachers.. GASP.. They also give up an issue, if they don't.. we win hands down in 2008.. Touch Down, America..
Here is an extra point.. all of the above has driven the Democrat party further to the left, in an effort to pander even more and alienating the moderates.. this will keep the Repub.'s in control of congress, for a long, long time!
Or a chicken on his lap.. Bwhahahhaahah ..sorry.. :)
Weren't you just earlier today griping over the property rights of those legal resident aliens who had livestock, and played South Asian music, and lowered property values of those neighbors who wouldn't bother to complain about it? It makes one think the big issue isn't really property rights but who is enjoying them.
BTW - great editorial, and some choice quotes. Made me think. Thanks. :-)
At least I take it that they were born and raised here or at least are naturalized citizens.
BINGO!
My brother is in the greater Chicagoland area. He is a union drywall taper. The illegals charge half of union scale so my brother is out of work.
