...did you forget the sarcasm tag?

No. I thought it would be obvious, but apparently it isn't.

My comments were meant to demonstrate disgust at our national policy of open borders as opposed to the policies of every other country who cares about their own sovereignty.

They were also meant to demonstrate we now have a lot of unemployed workers who must look for other jobs and will now in many cases have to compete with illegal workers who are flooding through our borders by the millions.

I was also critical of our timid policies concerning Vincente Fox and Mexico as they are partly to blame for our problem and would certainly not react in kind if our citizens started streaming illegally across their borders, as irrational as that may be.

My comments are also critical of our NAFTA agreements which seems to have resulted in only a one way flow for exports of our industrial base - the other way. I have seen ZERO new jobs coming here from either Mexico or Canada, but a lot going the other direction even while these countries look the other way to illegal immigration problems.

I am disgusted with our laws which require us to house, feed, cure and give citizenship and benefits to those who crash our borders, and it's the American worker and citizen who is taking it in the chops and being critized for being critical of the entire shameful spectacle.

Does that help? I hope it's a bit more thought provoking.

I agree with your comments regarding illegal aliens. We should close the borders.

However, I think any corporation needs to use the most efficient resources available and they need to minimize costs. If they don't then they will be put out of business by a competitor or replacement technology. In the end, we would lose much more than jobs.
