"We're seeing it in everything," said one of Mr. Bush's closest aides last week. "Iraq. The ferocity of an irrational argument over the ports. Guest workers. China and India."

Every day, I hear more and more stories on the news about illegals involved in crimes in my area. Get's worse every day.
These are not guest workeres any more than a cockroach is a guest worker.
Rush and co make a very good argument about foreign countries doing business in this country and how this port deal was blown out of porportion. I can see why some people would agree with him. However, We are at war with an ideal that threatens the safety of EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN. Islam. But we can't say that we are at war with Islam. We must cloud it in rhetoric. Meanwhile the ultimate plan is one of blending all cultures into one big mushy state. Sound like heaven? But the architects of this society forgot history. Islam will be the shoehorn for Globalism.

We are being taken for a ride my friends. You can think you are in the front seat, but that wont matter. When the car stops moving and you get out, you wont recognize a damn thing.
Well said, your word is dependent on how many times it is broken.
I believe that Bush was disallowed the tariffs on the steel, by a world body that threatened action against us if we kept it. IOW we have to comport to laws from without our country. That can only happen if we allow it, and we did and continue to do so. Any time we allow a body outside of the US to rule on an issue having to do with our policy, we lose sovereignty. We also lose the argument, for most countries and people, will go against us just because they hate everything about America.
It is sad that the communists did beat us, we just thought it would be USSR that did it, not the worldwide socialism that has us by the short hairs now. They are just reeling us in, while we jerk around a bit, trying to throw the hook.
If this country gets around to seriously talking about a fence, and cutting off bennies to illegals, we will see people dying in riots. I think it is close to that right now, just with the preliminary talking that is going on.
The steel tariff was in effect for almost two years.

Read it and weep.
Hah! I was just thinking about Bush's declaration the we are "too dependent" on foreign oil.
Which is it, George?
Feh! It is greed.
I have a neighbor that provides scaffolding for nuclear power plants. He has decided to go to China for his parts. It saves him about 20% percent on material costs. He went there and paid off the locals. He was wined and dined and provided prostitutes.
Since he has done this the company that used to provide the parts here in the U.S. has lost his business.
A company in China is paying for some real cheap labor. The kicker is that he got about 85% of all the contracts. He had no real competition.
Now you have about ten or so boats in China being raised but only one here. Let's not forget the great tips he gives the prostitutes, either.
What would be such products? What is a "reasonable price" for Indian middle class? Why would such products be made in USA?
Why don't you report him for violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act?
"If this country gets around to seriously talking about a fence, and cutting off bennies to illegals, we will see people dying in riots."
Are we, as US citizens, a sovereign people, or are we not? That's what it all boils down to, in the end. Extending benefits to illegal aliens, who were allowed to gain entry via our tenuous borders, is a serious affront to those who bothered to become citizens legally, as well as the native born, who have worked and paid into the system all their adult lives, only to see what amounts to squatters come in and receive government assistance that is, in many instances, superior to anything they could expect to receive.
It's a problem that needs to be addressed, sooner rather than later. If you perceive a threat of rioting now, what do you see five years down the road, if the current status quo is allowed to remain in place?
What is that? How would I prove it? It all happened over in China.
I guess it's no big deal, then.
I never said it was a big deal. I just don't associate with him anymore. He's a product of super-capitalism. Someone who doesn't care about America anymore. It's funny. Someone like him will go over there and brag about how great China is to make American dollars.
The thing that really gets to me, is those that will argue that we need these people to support Social Security. They say these programs are pyramid schemes that need massive influx of new workers to maintain payments without tax increases. ( A common Medved/Rush argument). The reality is, that social costs are a net loss to the govt, they cost more than they receive in taxes. The more people we allow in to pay taxes, will also receive more in benefits, than taxes paid in. I heard that by 2025, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security will take 100% of tax revenues to remain at current levels. That is only 19 years before this country is bankrupt in reality, as well as on paper.
Seems to me the product they want is nuclear tech. And he already gave them that, for mangoes.
Extending benefits to illegal aliens, who were allowed to gain entry via our tenuous borders, is a serious affront to
citizens that have to pay for them. Whether they were born here or immigrated legally.
Take this argument to the next level. Why is it my responsiblility (as a citizen) to pay for some criminal that snuck across the border?
