I've seen guys here in NYC -- two days ago they were living in Third World conditions poking a stick in the dirt. They hit the city, get a suitcase full of Chinatown t-shirts to sell on the street and --- voila, they're capitalists!

One of my favorite stories is a local Palestinian guy who opened a store next to -- get this -- an Israeli guy. I go out one morning and there's the Palestinian guy and Israeli guy yelling at an Italian American cop for ticketing the car of an old lady, Irish immigrant, for double parking. Well, there's something you don't see everyday.

Personally, I don't believe we're going to see any action from Washington. My belief is that we're going to see "new and improved" unions come into play...

"...New and improved unions..."

About ten years ago, they really tried hard to organize the Mexican drywallers here in California. And I don't blame them, it's the toughest job in the construction industry.

We had a lot of violence, shots fired, stuff like that. But they made no headway, there's just too many Mexicans who will work for $5.00 (Net after taxes etc LOL !)
But the government employees who will be providing services for these 'illegals' will be unionized, that you can count on!
