LOL! I'd rather sneak a six-pack of Lone Star in with me, and give it the All-American treatment, rather than recycle euro-swill. I wonder if I could ship some over UPS in advance?

1st you have to enlist in the Air Force. Then go through about 4-5 advanced tech training courses that last 1.5 years. Only then are you armed with the tools required to screw up European countries. I think I did my job well.

maybe they'll take the time to come here legally?

Nah! They'll just get on welfare that much sooner.

what's going to happen to many third world nations when even labor isn't necessary via technology?

Survival of the fittest. Dog eat dog.

Either that or the US will have to up the foreign aid.

"Illegals from Mexico sre prime suspects since Mexico is highly unionized and it's part of their culture."

Honestly, I have no idea why the latin culture in central and southern america is so extreme in their political beliefs. When and where did it all start?

Pemex is their nationalized oil industry, and is said to be the core interest group that directs governing in Mexico. Without the oil, Mexico wouldn't be much of anything...it's remittance from America is said to be only used for food. It's a terrible waste to see a country just south of us as horredous as it is.

I really sometimes think that it would best if we just governed Mexico without the mess of asking the people's opinion there.

No. The US will just say shape up or F-Off.

"Many of those 'disillusioned union workers' are actually good, solid Archie Bunker and Joe Six-pack types. Not too much of a stretch for them to go conservative. Many are waking up to the fact that the Dems and their leaders have ties to gun-grabbing commie pukes, and voting Pubbie."

I know...many of my family memebers are those 'Archie Bunker' guys. I think they become so invested in unions, that they don't see the bad reasons not to support dems. The dems used to be a reasonable party quite sometime ago...those days are long gone.

It really sickens me to see Nancy Pukeosi.

"Either that or the US will have to up the foreign aid."

I sometimes wish Mexico was far away like Africa. So that if they wanted to come here, they would most likely have to do it legally...but they even have illegals in Japan that are mexican, so it will never be completely out of the picture.

I think that it's eventual that the market of labor jobs will be near obselete and service and technology will be one of the few things needed. Ironically it's the most privately schooled people in India that will dominate the world economy in the future...mark my word.

If we don't end-up flooded with poverty we'll still be marching along with them.

I believe you deserve a medal! My post was not meant as a negative criticism.

When can we get robots to replace Congress. Or do robots have too much of a soul to replace the people of Congress?

From what I've heard, most illegals are doing landscaping, construction, and other formerly blue-collar jobs. That's why we have so many in the Northeast despite so few farms.

Could it be unions are better than industry or government at policing illegals in the work force ?

It was the labor unions in South Africa that set up apartheid, to protect the white workers from black competition. They had the power to get the government to pass these laws, to restrict companies from hiring blacks.

Bump. Ag is finding it difficult to get even illegal labor--the illegals want the suburbs and cities and construction jobs, not picking strawberries.

More power to robots and farmings--this tech could bring back small farming in the US, which would make for better produce.

So, why don't illegals get jobs as garbage men?

Don't tell walking behind a stinking garbage truck in all kinds of weather, hefting tons of reeking, dripping garbage is an easier job than mowing lawns.
