HERE'S THE ISSUE FOLKS!
1) We have a 4.7% unemployment rate meaning that only hardcore unemployables and those who don't want to work (stay at home moms, etc) aren't working.
2) Even with a net EXPORT of manufacturing jobs, we STILL have to bring in 200,000 - 500,000 H1B Visas a year to handle our advanced engineering / technology / medical / Ph.D. level needs.
3) ABORTION HAS SLAUGHTERED OVER 40 MILLION AMERICANS THAT WOULD HAVE SERVED AS A TOTAL REPLACEMENT WORKFORCE!
4) Social Security is a MESS and SOMEONE has got to financially support it.
5) Hate it or not (and I am OPPOSED to the Illegal Immigration), deported some 11 - 20 Million people from the U.S. Economy with a 4.7% unemployment rate WILL CREATE A MASSIVE U.S. ECONOMIC DEPRESSION! In the short term wages will rise, in the mid-term business will export or collapse, inflation will become explosive, and the economy will collapse.
THAT FOLKS IS THE REALITY BROUGHT TO US BY DEMOCRATIC TERRORISTS AND THEIR BABY BUTCHERING, FREE FLOOD OF ILLEGAL WORKERS WHO VOTE DEMOCRAT POLICIES!
This is a NO WIN for America. And whether anyone like it or not (and once again, I am OPPOSED to ILLEGAL immigration), something has to be done to SOMEHOW accomodate them.
My suggestions are:
1) NO public social welfare benefits.
2) Grant them some sort of provisional "good behavior" work status but with TWICE the normal citizenship waiting period.
3) Ensure that they are paying their taxes / Social Security withholding. And END any special tax credits! NO Earned Income Tax (thanks Dems), NO Child Tax Credit, NO TAX CREDITS AT ALL!
Posting this description of illegals (work hard, cheap, don't whine) could get you called a rino, traitor, OBL supporter or worse.
Boortz just said he is going to be discussing this in a few minutes on his radio program.

President is responsible for taking away everything the Republican party has gained during the past 20 or so years. I believe BIG-MONEY is in his pockets, and he has no intention of protecting America, our borders, or citizens he was elected to protect. President Bush has already sealed his place in history as the WORSE President in the history of our beautiful America -- and yeas that includes worse than Jimmy Carter.
Thanks for the link...I listened to Boortz from the time he was at his first talk job in ATL at the old RING Radio. I moves away from ATL many years ago and really miss Boortz. I read his website daily. He is also a fellow Texan.
Tony Snow if you are lurking. Many tried to tell you on your radio show. Secure the borders, enforce the laws that are on the books and no talk of amnesty. Although you repeatedly defended your position, you had to have gotten a heads up of what was to come. I believe the collective voice of the American people was heard and ignored. Question is, what happens now? I have admired this President as you have Tony but this is the defining moment. I hope it is not too late to reverse course.
The US financial system has been living on a series of one time free lunches. This is the last one to try.
Basically, the people want a lot of govt. services (anyone want to try to cut medicaid or medicare ? Ans is NO.) and not pay for them (anyone want to raise taxes ?)
Free lunch number 1 was social security. Generation 1 gets free stuff paid for by gen 2. Gen 2 gets repaid by gen 3, etc. You get 1 free lunch for gen 1.
Free lunch no. 2 was WWII. The world destroyed itself while the US was barely touched economically.
Free lunch no. 3, put the women to work.
Free lunch no. 4, globalization holds down inflation while the govt. can print money (which would normally cause inflation) to spend on all kinds of stuff.
Free lunch no.5, technological innovation. This has been wonderful but we are running out of innovations. The few that are left are high temp superconductors, nuclear energy, fusion, better robots (which are a lot like guest workers)
Free lunch no.6, import adult guest workers (you don't have to pay to school them or raise/rear them as kids, and you send them home before they retire)
I disagree with your post.
Unemployment is low, and the economy is booming.
Bush believes more workers adds to the economy.
I think he is right. More work means more stuff is done.
The drags on the economy are old people and kids and the illegals are usually neither.
A Boortz BumpTTT. I'm mad as hell.
President Bush stood up yesterday, and with a straight face, said "We are a nation of laws."
HA HA HA HA!!!
Please step away from your computer and come back to the forum when you are rational.
And so what if they are? It's irrelelvant! I'm sure most of them are hard working too. Why should that give them the right to pay taxes on only three out of five years? I work hard too - can I pay taxes three out of five years? How about five out of ten years? And I hear there are lots of hard working people in India, in South Africa, in Mongolia. Why can't they all come too as they are 'hard workers'?
The only explanation for the President's behavior that I can think of is that he is personally profiting from illegal immigration... possibly from direct bribes from Vincente Fox and Co.? I can't think of any other reason why a Republican President would go to the wall for a policy that will establish a socialist/Democrat majority.
If amnesty passes, you can kiss the G.O.P., and our nation goodbye
FOREVER.
What I don't get is why intelligent, educated people keep saying 'they don't get it'...
Gawd, it's all about the ECONOMY? Forget the impact of illegals on TAXPAYERS and WORKERS and HOSPITALS and COMMUNITIES? Old people and kids are DRAGS ON THE ECONOMY?
Stunning the level of economic depravity your side has sunk to here.
Or, perhaps, companies could hire back the older IT workers laid off in recent years. But that would, you know, cost more money than importing workers.
Yes. Look at how much productive work kids and old people do and how much they consume.
