The Minuteman Project mistakes the nature of our immigration problem
It will be fascinating to see how the Minuteman Project, the brainstorm of Aliso Viejo resident James Gilchrist, comes off now that President Bush has referred to the effort as a "vigilante" operation of which he disapproves. It has certainly stirred a lot of interest, pro and con.

Thank you for your concern. Your generosity is overwhelming. You are a prince among men.
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.
bttt
Sure thing.
No Charge.
>>>> 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)
Sure looks that way.
Your welcome.
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.
Correct, but he did imply it.
Enforcing it by not enforcing it. Sounds rational to me.

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?
As for your question:
"Who do you hate most? The mexicans, Bush, or Jim Robinson?"
My answer is:
None of the above.
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.
Dad didn't say they were Kluckers but who knows.
Well, Dad din't explain about the hoods but it was in Nashville about 1915.
