Breaking into my home is a crime. Cleaning toilets and picking crops are not. Except in the eyes of the PaleoCons.
I got no idea what that has to do with Dubya bending to the will of the American people, but hey FITZ keep on posting.
As I have posted again and again...the PaleoCons have no trouble with American born leeches sucking at the teat of government...it's just those wetback leeches that are the problem.
Try again half baked.
Your turn skinhead.
Not seeing any "facts" here Gary. Got sumthin to back up your opinion.
You smell bad, your momma dresses you funny, and you don't love Jesus.
Your turn.
Sure -- workers who commit felony document fraud and whose employers break every labor law yet both are rewarded for their crimes --- I bet you never provided your cheap servants any health insurance benefits but figure the government can just raise taxes to do that for you. Socialism --- but you make more money than an honest employer who follows the law. Greed --- the love of money is the root of all evil and people will destroy their country for the love of money. You hire illegal labor --- quick profits for yourself is your real reason to support unlimited illegal immigration.
If you have such animosity towards money, why do you whine about paying taxes to buy healthcare for your fellow man?
I believe the words I wrote have hit a nerve for you FITZ. You are completely discombobulated. You're all over the place. Either I'm a greedy Capitalist or I'm a Socailist. You can't have it both ways.
My motivations are transparent to anyone willing to read my posts. I like cheap labor because I like $1 double cheeseburgers at McDonalds, and I like a clean bathroom in my office. The Mexicans are perfectly willing to work these jobs for low pay. They appreciate the work, and I am happy they are getting the same opportunity that my great grand parents got. If people like yourself had been in control in the 1900's I would not live in America. Most likely my grandparents would have been rounded up and sent to Nazi concentration camps in the 1930's for a shower. The Mexican people are not blood thirsty killers bent on destroying this nation. They are children of God who yearn for a better life for their families.
The PaleoCons are the greedy ones. They want to keep others away from America's freedom. Shame on the Paleos.
Foreigners are more than welcome to come to the United States. All that Americans are asking is for them to come here legally. I don't think that is asking too much.
Asked what they think is a desirable number of legal immigrants per year, most Americans (76%) would prefer immigration be kept below current levels (i.e., they say they would like to see less than one million per year admitted).
In fact, a majority (58%) would prefer fewer than 300,000 enter per year.
Opinions vary somewhat by age, with older Americans taking a harder line against legal immigration; in fact, one in four of those age 65+ (25%) would prefer to see no legal immigrants enter per year, whereas only one in twenty (5%) of those 18-24 have the same view.
Your tedious chearleading for unfettered immigration conveniently ignores all the social costs and security risks that current immigration policies generate. If you could show me some articles that effectively refute Heather MacDonald's scholarship I would really appreciate it.
Here are some more links to Heather MacDonald.
Yes it seems you can have it both ways --- Capitalist because you make high profits for your cheap labor, Socialist because that's how you believe your cheap labor needs to be supported. These people couldn't work for you if they had to pay their own health care and education --- but since you feel that is the responsibility of the suckers -- the taxpayers, you believe in the socialization of those.
They do the same thing in Mexico --- they enjoy an endless amount of very cheap labor --- but the top 10% is doing extremely well --- the only thing is it has caught up with them so now they need to get rid of their surplus of cheap labor.
I'm not a Socialist for one -- and I should not have to pay so that you can surround yourself with cheap servants. I have heard families of those run out of Mexico during the Revolution --- when Pancho Villa's guys burned down their mansions --- life was so so difficult for them when they came here as refugees, they had never had to cook their own food or clean their homes and they weren't able to bring their lowly servants --- the servants were riding with Pancho Villa. It was so very very sad for these elites.
So the lack of licenses act somewhat as a restriction on further movement, further encroachment on jobs. Once they get licensed, all bets are off, and we'll see a renewed explosion in arrivals.
Why is the headline not "Illegals face deportation in Crackdown?" Taking away their licenses is nice but why are they in this country when they have no right?
I'm not sure what we would have to do to force the Guvmint to start doing it's job, but maybe constant and persistant calls to the INS would help?
Anyone have any better suggestions?
Mow your own *&^ lawn. And tell your ole lady to swab her own *&^ toilet.
Or, pay a legal wage to a legal worker to get the job done, if you can't bring yourself to wait on yourself.
he US allows about 50,000 legal Mexican workers in the US. We have over 10 MILLION illegals in the US...mostly from central America. Do the math. The US has the jobs. Business wants the workers. Only the knuckle dragging PaleoCons who fear they will be excluded from their life long career in toilet cleaning are stoping Dubya from giving "illegal" workers with long histories of paying Social Security the chance to continue paying taxes.
The Businesses can use the labor that's already here in a Legal Status.
If the people south of the border wish to come here and work legally, then I have no problem with them being here legally. It's the Illegal ones that should be tracked down and immediately deported. Furthermore the businesses that knowingly use Illegal Aliens as laborers should be heavily fined in order to get the point across.
I myself cannot go into a business and work without what amounts to an exhaustive background check these days. If I don't "measure up" or give them my SSN, then I can't work. They use this information to track people who are behind on Child Support, this is their rationale. But an illegal can come here, work for less than minimum wage and nobody says a thing about it? Where is the fairness in that?
There are legal remedies for these people, why don't they use it?

But Reagan never changed a single view.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're caling Reagan a leftist, aren't you?
If we have some many jobs going unfilled why are still people on welfare?
