"Never have so many highly educated and highly skilled (people) come into the immigration flow."

Yes, they certainly are highly skilled leechers, but educated? Educated in what? Anti-Americanism, crime and... almost forget in parasitism.

Some retailers such as Sears, Roebuck & Co. (S) and Kmart Holding Corp. (KMRT) are already building brand loyalty by targeting potential immigrants

The men's department at our local Sears has a "Latin" aura. Most of the customers speak Spanish, too. I'm glad Sears seems to be moving with the times.

But I thought the Buchanan/Tancredo anti-Mexican loonies say America is on the brink of economic destruction because of immigrants.

Money-grubbing whores are ruining my country. I curse them them and pray for this nation to come to her senses.

Hey Bayou baby the reason we have Mexican immigrants is because Mexico is on the brink of economic armedegon. Don't flatter your hispanic self.

"Walk into one of these huge stores, like Wal-Mart, and you can see who the customers are; it's amazing how much Spanish and Chinese is spoken," Suarez-Orozco said. U.S. companies "are most definitely aware of the opportunity."

Of course many of them speak Spanish, Chinese or Point-and-Grunt, but do they speak English? No, they don't. And why there are so many of them? Simple answer is because we let them in in the first place.

"Money-grubbing whores are ruining my country."

That's the way union thugs, government employees, and people who aren't educated enough to understand how they are impacted by the health of American business think.

Being anti-business isn't any more conservative than xenophobia.

Being called "baby" by a man makes me feel very defensive.

If you miss me I just thought I would let you know that bayourod has threatened me with terminating my membership here. I didn't think I was quite that insulting. My anti illegal immigration stance irratates him excedeingly. Almost as bad as illegals irritate me. If I am not here tommorrow it was nice knowing you all!!! Bye

But of course if I say that means you won't have anything against the guest workers under Bush's plan you would come up with some excuse not to like them either.

What the anti-immigrant crowd dislikes is people who speak Spanish. "Illegality" is just their current line of defense. When the guest worker bill is passed they will retreat back to another defensive line.

You may be sincere, but most of the anti-immigrants have already blown their cover.

Hell I didn't think I had a cover. I just plain don't like illegal immigrants being in my country. I wouldn't care what they spoke as long as they were saying "How do I get home?". I would like to help them out!!!

"I didn't think I was quite that insulting."

Should I let everyone know what you said in the private mail to me?

I"m glad you put that last sentence in cause my twin brother is married to a lovely Mexican gal and I love her family......they are legal too...Don't be like a Dem though and presume to know my thoughts. I'm not like some on FR that are noted haters of everything. I would be for Bush's plan If and only if, we controlled the borders. That is the one condition. I'm all for legal immigration, really, but illegals flooding in does not appeal to me.

Yeah, well, we thought kissing up (giving them visa preferences,not apprehending them and deporting them if they overstayed)to the Saudi's was economically promising--until nineteen of them flew planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and an open field.
