And you sound like a guy who is hiring illegals and who, thus, probably can’t make a profit in his business without doing so. But you do rationalize well.
Yeah, Mike expects the whole fleet to be green in a few years. I’m shocked the TLC took it laying down.
OT. Waiting for confirm on this:

There is no such animal as a good border bill. We need cheap labor for mowing lawns and washing cars etc. I know many business owners that need low cost manual labor due to the labor shortage. We do not have that workforce here so we need some sort of Guest Worker program. There will be that or nothing.
Course those truths make me as popular as a cactus in a nudist colony.

You’ve got to put this in the Plame file:
Valerie Plame Supplemental

LOL. I had a hard time figuring out how to phrase that. Timmy was reading off stats on New Mexico's rating in certain areas like education, poverty, etc. Out of the 50 states, NM ranks consistently as 47th or 48th, i.e. they are consistently worse than almost all of the other states.
As a long time businessman that would be rather foolish of me wouldn't it? Were the law and business conflict however I am on the side of law now and forever!
But you do use the cliches very well.
I have used none but you go ahead and say whatever you like. You are just making yourself look ever more silly.
We need to rename Biden the whirling dervish.
For those who watched him there is a pill to stop your head from spinning it's called Dramamine. It works somewhat well for seasickness on the high seas, could prevent the head spin of the dervishes appearance.
He says he is the only one who has a plan,than he says that Pakistan may not be trying t find osamma because they are afraid we may pull out.
Whirling a little bit more Plugs says it's all due to us not focusing on the "real war" in Afghanistan.
Please pass the Dramamine,quick!!
Not a libertarian but not part of what the conservative movement has become. A bunch of cliches looking for a Reagan.

Is that all the deeper you can think?
I actually would like everyone’s opinion. I merely picked the three Freepers I figured most likely to answer.
Do you think the Immigration bill will pass?
Thanks for responding.
too good!
"Dude, you want to hit this RPG?"
Never hired an illegal, but will buy from companies that probably do. Have you ever played on a golf course or gone through a carwash that hires Mexicans? Ever gone through McDonalds, bought a house that used Mexican labor? If so, don’t be throwing stones in that windy glass house.

CO2 - Its In The Air
China is set to becone the #1 CO2 producer in the world. China’s rapid industrialization along with its low economic productivity is causing its energy demands to rise at a furious rate.
China is on course to overtake the United States this year as the world’s biggest carbon dioxide producer, according to estimates based on Chinese energy data.
The finding might pressure Beijing to take more action on climate change.
China’s emissions rose by about 10 percent in 2005, a senior U.S. scientist estimated, while Beijing data shows fuel consumption rose more than 9 percent in 2006, suggesting China would easily outstrip the United States this year, long before a forecast.
Taking the top spot would put pressure on China to do more to slow emissions as part of world talks on extending the United Nations’ Kyoto Protocol on global warming beyond 2012.
The nations signed on to Kyoto aren’t doing too well on the CO2 front either. Germans in particular are balking at further price increases and other restrictions on their energy supplies.
In the mean time how is the USA, which did not sign on to Kyoto, doing? As it turns out not too bad.
U.S. carbon dioxide emissions dropped slightly last year even as the economy grew, according to an initial estimate released yesterday by the Energy Information Administration.
The 1.3 percent drop in CO{-2} emissions marks the first time that U.S. pollution linked to global warming has declined in absolute terms since 2001 and the first time it has gone down since 1990 while the economy was thriving. Carbon dioxide emissions declined in both 2001 and 1991, in large part because of economic slowdowns during those years.
In 2006 the U.S. economy grew 3.3 percent, a fact President Bush touted yesterday as he hailed the government’s “flash estimate” that the country’s carbon dioxide emissions dropped by 78 million metric tons last year.
“We are effectively confronting the important challenge of global climate change through regulations, public-private partnerships, incentives, and strong economic investment,” Bush said in a statement. “New policies at the federal, state, and local levels — such as my initiative to reduce by 20 percent our projected use of gasoline within 10 years — promise even more progress.” A number of factors helped reduce emissions last year, according to the government, including weather conditions that reduced heating and air-conditioning use, higher gasoline prices that caused consumers to conserve, and a greater overall reliance on natural gas.
Well what do you know. Market forces, which is just another way of saying voluntary cooperation, are doing a pretty good job. In fact a better job than command and control.

REFLECTING ON 230 YEARS OF BLOOD AND SACRIFICE

No I don’t think any bill will pass. It is like SSI where nobody has the courage to pass a bill that would admit we need Mexican labor. There are no good bills to be passed cause it doesn’t exist.
So we will go on thumping our chests about enforcing a law that has no teeth and continue with undocumented illegal aliens.
