Kinda smacks of the slavery days doesn't it?

Where is the African American community in all of this? One would think they are losing jobs along with many other groups in middle America. I speak to some construction guys weekly because we are doing remodeling. They are mad as hell because many contractors are getting their cheap help from the Lowe's parking lot instead of using the regular guys who have worked construction all their lives.

Anyone who does work here has to prove to me that they are legal. I usually tell them my brother is an ICE agent. :)

Believe me more blacks are coming forward to support us they are also with the MM

Chambliss seemed to be the only Senator to call the rest of the traitor's on what they are doing- I was stunned and my local news is saying what a minefield the congress will have when it gets to them

On a side note:

Users running illegal copies of Windows XP are being offered discounted purchase prices.

"Microsoft has updated its website and now allows US users of pirated or counterfeit versions of Windows XP to buy legitimate keys for $149 each. The full version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional retails for $249.99, which means if you purchase the CD and key from Microsoft, there is a net savings of $100."

What's wrong with this picture? Isn't this the same as rewarding illegal aliens for breaking the law?

You see, the problem for MS is that there are TOO MANY folks out there with pirated copies of XP, so what is their answer? Cave in to the criminals. And what makes me laugh, just like with the illegals paying fines, what makes MS think that the thieves will spend $149 so they can run a legit copy when they really don't have to?

You and I pay the price for being honest. Microsoft is now complicit in adding to the problem of rewarding law breakers.

Has been, old hard line Black liberals, like Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton are having nightmares. They're having difficulty relating to Black Americans screaming for illegal immigration right-wing cause. Many Blacks that were staunch Democrat's are crossing over and becoming Republican. A plus, for the Republican Party.

I can't ever understand why Blacks were conned into thinking the Democrats ever did anything for them. All Black gains have come from the Republicans. A good example, and sign, was Black homeless activist Ted Hayes, joining with the Minute Men Project. Black Americans have found themselves left out job wise, and are angry. In the long run, there will be more Black Republicans, plus more running for elected office, with Conservative Republican values.

Where is the African American community in all of this?

Overall, I'm not sure. Generally speaking, from a birds-eye-view on the streets, they are fed up with it too. This weekend my husband was aggressively "approached" by a hispanic man who didn't like my husbands T-shirt & ball cap. The man started mouthing off and poking his finger toward my husband griping, etc, about illegals "rights." My husband didn't hold-any-bars, was right back in his face. (All this was going on at a large, heavily attended gas station convient store.) The man ended up backing off, tail between his legs. When my husband turned to go into the store, there stood a REALLY BIG black man. He told my husband he saw and heard it all and came over to protect my husband if he had to. The guy said he was sick of this mess too. That's the kind of stuff we are hearing on the streets here.
