That must be why our representatives want to rush that legislation through quickly. Limbaugh was talking earlier today about the history of illegal immigration in America. In part, he blamed Congress for bowing to pressure from industry officials. He said our elected representatives contacted INS officials quietly and loudly complained about law enforcement. I bet his telephone is ringing off the hook with calls from D.C. today.
Let's see, they don't want to fight, don't want to bath, and they don't want to work. Have I left anything out?
de Villepin is as French (aka "Left") as they come. Nonethless the mere suggestion of the slightest decrease in the socialist system earns him this kind of reaction.
And from the young, no less.
There's little hope for France.
A friend in Great Britain tells me that part of the problem in france is illegal immigration. Apparently it isn't illegal to hire an illegal immigrant in france and many of the jobs go to illegals.
It's the fault of the french all the way around.
Can you imagine a country where Chirac is the conservative? Yikes.
In a socialist state like that I don't blame the employers. The root problem is the socialist state.
And I just read about the planned May 1 mass boycott in the U.S. to support amnesty for illegals..Organized by ANSWER which is every anti-American group in the world...
"There's little hope for France."
But they do provide entertainment!
Nothing will change in the U.S. until our streets are filled with protests, too. On second though, nothing will ever change. Americans are too exhausted from working to protest.
What you say may apply to France, I don't know. But it has less relevance to the Mexico illegal immigration problem. The majority of the illegal Mexicans are performing menial tasks and are not competing with our college graduates. So in our case the illegal immigration problem is more a security issue then a jobs issue.
Our job competition concerns are with legal immigrants from India, China, etc. The IEEE of which I belong has been lobbying intensively for limited legal immigration from these countries. Immigration across the board is a big problem here and in France but for differing reasons we need to separate out and keep distinct.
But part of it is as simple as, today, it is dang near impossible to fire anyone in France. Now, with this law, at least there is this sort of probationary period for new grads. Oh the horror! New grads can be fired at will for screwing up!
Please open your eyes a bit. You obviously do not live in California. Mexican illegals may go to college at the taxpayers expense. They have flooded the junior college system and now flood state colleges. They get top priority over life long state residents because they are a 'minority.' There are illegals from El Salvador living in La La Land who graduated from high school and obtained a college degree. I have met them personally.
Sure looks like they know how to party!Hey Jon,what are you doing tonite?Ah,the same old stuff,head to the riot and see whats left to burn!

No, I never plan to live in California! :-)
Explain to me how California is stupid enough to pay illegals to go to College. How does that work?
Most illegals are cutting grass, working in restauarants, etc. College graduates have much more to fear from a competitive standpoint from legal immigrants from India and China than they do from illegal Mexicans.
The main national problem with illegal immigration is security not jobs. California should clean up its own problem though.
She never bothered to apply for U.S. citizenship. I last saw her at an exclusive gathering at the home of a Canadian film director. She had been working for $ 1,000 a week (cash off the books) as a house keeper for a major Hollywood producer. She was very happy because she had just written a script and sold it to a studio.
She returns to her home country every year. Say hello to the New World Order where anybody can live anywhere.
Thanks for the story. So this person attends college but turns out to be a ... housekeeper. I must have misunderstood your earlier point. I thought you were saying that illegal Mexican immigrants were stealing jobs from our college graduates. This story doesn't seem to support that.
What I was curious about was how illegals can attend CA college for free (which is what you said earlier or did I miss something?). Is that true? How does that work? Don't they have to pay to go to CA state colleges?
