"Wrong issue here, wrong thread."
What are you - the thread police?
Frankly, I find your support of illegal activity disgusting. If the WSJ wants more immigration into this country, they and their Fortune 500 buddies can go to Congress and increase the current ceiling on LEGAL immigration.
I also dislike your insults and namecalling (xenophobe), but I guess its all part of your strategy to disrupt any intelligent discussion of illegal immmigration and its support by the Business community in pursuit of MONEY.
Nah. I just had this weird notion of following a train of thought thru a thread. I started the thought with a protest that small businesses should NOT be tasked with enforcing federal immigration laws. That is the job of the fed, and that if they really wanted to do so, they have the data and the enforcement powers necessary to do so. The fact is that they don't WANT to do so, because they recognize illegals working here as a source of revenue. I then cited a quick calc on how much "free money" comes into the fed due to the willing hypocrisy of Social Security and the IRS.
As sure as sh!t attracts flies, some freeper felt duty bound to point out that the costs to us are greater than the revenue generated to the fed. I said that this was not the point at issue i.e. "Wrong issue here, wrong thread."
As far as being "thread police" I fear that my qualifications are suspect. I sometimes forget to laugh at the people who post here and get upset with them instead. It is a character flaw that gets me suspended sometimes, so my track record doesn't rise to the quals necessary for internet police. I deal with many heavy breathers here who are so damn stupid that they can't tell the difference between complete amnesty and no borders vs. liberal immigration and dual paths to legal status. As a result, I get a good deal of the kind of cranially eviscerated vapid accusations lke this gem "Frankly, I find your support of illegal activity disgusting."..... whoops, er, that was YOUR post. Oh well. Anyway, if you were one of the OTHER imbeciles who accuse me of various and sundry activities, I would respond that I do not "support illegal activity" but rather think there is more than one way to deal with the illegal activity that has gone on. If that one went by too quickly for you, let me know and I will try to type slower for you next time.
