I can make Americans do jobs. Deport the illegals and do away with welfare.
They'll have to do it or starve to death.
His amnesty scheme wont work and will only attract millions more. Of course, it's pretty safe to say that this is the plan.
Where are these jobs Americans won't do coming from, are we creating thousands of them per month, to match the number of illegals breaking into our country? Somehow I find that hard to believe.
There's only one job I can think of that Americans won't do... and that's kissing up to the UN!! (We'll leave that to the Euros)
I dont want to spend money to have our leafs(sp?) raked. Love them illegals ...
Just kiddin!
I'd rather pay $5 for Strawberries. At least I have the option to pay it or not. But forcing me to subsidize some businessman's cheap labor is wrong. WHY does no one mention this? What good is a guestworker program that continues to force taxpayers to foot the bill???
In the West, we're not talking hundreds per year, folks, we're talking thousands.
Give us a break! JOrge, you want to talk guestworker...also talk forcing the businessmen to pay a livable wage to them. We're tired of paying for it.
Number cruncher numbskulls make my teeth hurt.
This clymer talks about the percentage of the economy that is agriculture and off the top of his head says no big deal we can shit can that small percentage. No problem. So vegies are more expensive. No problem.
What the idiot does not understand is that vegies will rot in the field. No, they won't even get planted.
Houses will not be build. Yards will not be upkept. Street maintenance will cease. Chickens will not be slaughtered. Overgrown brushy land will not be cleared. Autobody and fender work will not be done. Garbage will not be collected. Restaurants will lose half their cooks and have no busboys.
That's just some of the stuff I can think of. Of course I live in the West. If you vacumed up all the illegals our economy simply would not work. Deny it all you want. It is the case.
Years ago it was havesting food and cleaning homes. Then gardening. Then illegals started taking jobs teens traditionally had like selling and serving fast food. Now they've moved into construction jobs.

There's a simple way to get Americans to do the "Jobs Americans Won't Do." Grant citizenship to those doing the job currently. Problem solved.
Elevated blood pressure BTTT
"During a immigration subcommittee hearing in March, Mr. Cannon had the gumption to question the executive director of CIS, Mark Krikorian, as well as to challenge Roy Beck, who heads NumbersUSA and serves as "spokesman" for CFAW. After first denying it, Mr. Krikorian was forced to admit that CIS is a spin-off of FAIR.
"In fact, CIS, FAIR, NumbersUSA, Project-USA and more than a half-dozen similar groups that Republicans have become disturbingly comfy with, were founded or funded (or both) by John Tanton, a retired doctor in Michigan. In addition to trying to stop immigration to the U.S., appropriate population-control measures for Dr. Tanton and his network include promoting China's one-child policy, sterilizing Third World women and wider use of RU-486.
"FAIR, where Mr. Krikorian once worked, is run by Dan Stein and shares advisers and personnel with CIS and other members of the Tanton nexus. As our Jason Riley noted in a March op-ed, "By Dr. Tanton's own reckoning, FAIR has received more than $1.5 million from the Pioneer Fund, a white-supremacist outfit devoted to racial purity through eugenics."

I really like this idea.
Bush is doing a great thing with this proposal.
Immigrants are the backbone of America. Look how great he did with Hispanics this year. John Kerry would be president 2 weeks from now if it had not been for the Hispanics coming out in droves for him. He improved his 2000 percentage by 10 points.
It's also good for capitalism in general, to have more people in the country working jobs. Free immigration is an essential part of a capitalism system.
When will Bush (or is it Carter?, Kerry?) do his usual stammering and stuttering on this issue?
If it's in the evening, a good drinking game would be a sip every time this wretched clown says "compassion".
This thread is racist, we need low wage labor, they are our future and without that supply of low wage labor which will morph into tommorow's brain trust America will die on the vine (pun intended). These are just my LaRaza/WSJ talking points for today.
Enforce immigration laws, fine employers $10,000/illegal hired and it will go a long way to clearing up the issue
the illegal mexican in our apartment building, works as a landscaper, has huge mexican flag draped across his window, and spits when he sees americans.
Immigration today reminds me of the sin of disenfranchising the black man when the Constition was written.
Instead of dealing with the problem then it was swept under the rug and came to a crisis in the 1850's/1860's.
Today, instead of securing the border and making Mexico deal with its problem, which would eventually end up in revolution, our Gov. chooses to ignore the issue.
The problem is with Mexico, not the US needing workers!
All IMHO.
