No Problem

And I commend you for going the extra mile, researching and fact checking (you spent a little time with the ol thesaurus as well eh?).

If it was so obvious, why did you even bother to post a reply?

Hope the effort did not tax your limited assets too severely

Thank you for your concern. Your generosity is overwhelming. You are a prince among men.

[TexasTransplant]

Oh no, Thank you. :^}

Your OK, I really do appreciate all of your posts, sometimes I just can't help snatching that low hanging fruit.

Please feel free to offer advice and counsel whenever you feel that I am not living up to my potential.

>>>> Not me. We should all be vigilantes. Citizens should all carry guns and the police should be prohibited from carrying guns.<<<<

I don't remember where I read it (might have been earlier on this thread) we aren't vigilantes, we are "Undocumented Border Patrol Agents"

(still cracks me up)

Apparently Pres Bush equates "enforcing the law in a rational way" to kissing vicente fox's a$$.

Sure looks that way.

[Marine Inspector]

Your welcome.

Why is the President in favor of legal status for illegals?

He thinks it will fix the problem.

Of course, he can just look back at the 80's and see it does no such thing.

[Marine Inspector]

He did not say the MM Project was vigilantism

Correct, but he did imply it.

[Penner]

On Wednesday President Bush, at the summit meeting with President Vicente Fox of Mexico and Prime Minister Paul Martin of Canada, when asked about the project, said, "I'm against vigilantes in the United States of America. I'm for enforcing the law in a rational way."

Enforcing it by not enforcing it. Sounds rational to me.

From Post 26 (which was pulled): "His brother has a manufacturing plant in Mexico."

LibertarianInExile: "JR, is there some reason that this rumor is floating around about you? Is there any real truth to any of this stuff?"

I think that the following post by Jim is how this got started. The way I read Jim's post he is stating that his brother works for a manufacturing plant in Mexico, not that he has/owns a plant in Mexico.

Jim, please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Well, things could change. For example, my brother has worked for an air brake manufacturing company for over 35 years. About 10 years ago they moved their manufacturing plant to Mexico. The problem was government regulation, mandated benefit programs, and taxes, etc, made it unprofitable to continue manufacturing here.

My brother and I had our doubts but they set up the plant, hired and trained the workers and struggled for a few years, but they finally got it all together. Now they are a very profitable company shipping truck brakes all over the world and have problems keeping up with demand.

They now have several hundred workers at the plant all making pretty good wages (for Mexico) and things are looking up for all.

BUT, they are now labor bound. Even though they've automated some of their manufacturing processes, they need more labor to expand and are beginning to have problems recruiting workers. My brother says believe it or not, they're beginning to have labor shortages in Mexico.

Who do you hate most? The mexicans, Bush, or Jim Robinson?

[DumpsterDiver]

You were replying to Post 94 and in that post I was attempting to correct someone's impression that Jim's "brother has a manufacturing plant in Mexico". Did you have some comment or a correction to make to that post?

As for your question:

"Who do you hate most? The mexicans, Bush, or Jim Robinson?"

My answer is:

None of the above.

[iconoclast]

They are but one state and the socialists could only play with their own state.

BWAAHAHAHAHAHA!

We presently have a socialist party and a globalist socialist lite party and they split the vote about 50/50.

You folks can't possibly be serious about introducing a few million Mexican peasants into that situation.

President Bush didn't start that "vigilante" name stuff: NBC did on March 2nd..
