In light of the Mc Cain-Kennedy proposed legislation, I thought this chart deserved a repost. Much thanks to no_doll_i who originally came up with the link, and posted it on a thread.

Note that elements of McCains and Kennedys original proposals have apparently been merged. I dont have any more details. Please feel free to comment or post additional details on the current bills.

IMO, These boys are scamming us.

3. Some U.S. residents of Mexico report that it is easier to live and work "illegally" in Mexico by manipulating tourist visas than it is to obtain the proper residence visa.

Americans doing business in Mexico are granted 30-day business visas, and they must prove that they are affiliated with an established U.S. or Mexican company, and that they are not dis-placing equally-qualified Mexicans, to obtain a longer business visa. American retirees who want to register as Mexican residents must have income of at least $2,000 a month.

With its traditional ignorance, the press has forgotten that we HAD a "guest worker" program from 1942 through 1983. The Mexican workers admitted individually to take specific jobs, were known as braceros.

Part of that arrangement was that Mexico and the US cooperated in sealing the southern border, so only those Mexicans specifically admitted, crossed that border. Wow, now there's an idea that hasn't been tried in a while.

Chris Cannon (RINO-UT) reminds me so much of that snivelling little toady named "Max" from the Sound of Music.

ROFLMBO!! Noooo kidding... Ha!

[Dat Mon]

Yes...you are right. One of the key elements of that program...or so Ive been told by a person with experience in it...is that only the workers themselves came over...NOT their families and dependents too.

Of course...we also didnt have the entitlement mentality quite as bad back then either...

[dangus]

Actually, Chris Cannon is from a new breed of anti-nationalists that require the creation of a new term.

Ready for this?

(Drumroll, please...)

AINO

AMERICAN in name only.

It's pronounced "Ay-no."

As in, Ay-no friend a' mine!

And RINOs and misguided conservatives who re-elect AINOs shall be heretofore referred to as "Ano retentive."
