and so, the drum beat continues.... driven on the right by pro-business at any cost, sovereignty be damned RINOs and from the left by those who believe "no human is illegal".

It's enough to make me want to throw up when I realize we're going to have "comprehensive immigration reform" whether it's good for the country or not.

WSJ = Wage Suppression Journal

I am reaffirmed on a regular basis that my cancellation of my WSJ subscription was a good move..

[texican01]

If this was 1860, the WSJ would be editorializing for letting the South secede because slavery was such a wonderful base of the economy. These kinds economic whores are why the GOP is sliding into oblivion ---just like its predecessor the Whigs!

Do you feel safer?

No, this is an important job and someone competent should really be doing the job of enforcement, not an incompetent fool like certioff.

> These immigrants are obviously responding to a labor shortage for certain jobs.<

That’s where I stopped reading.

[kittymyrib]

The elites at the WSJ don’t want to lose their nannies, landscapers, and pool boys. And they certainly don’t want to see employers fined or jailed for employing illegals, which would solve the problem.

[Wonder Warthog]

It doesn’t matter whether the workers are “willing”, what matters is that they are “illegal”. What is it about identity theft (and other crimes) that the WSJ doesn’t understand???

Federal immigration officials raided an Iowa meatpacking plant this month... Nearly 400 of the plant's 900 employees were arrested on immigration charges. Do you feel safer? Ever since immigration reform died in Congress last year, the Bush Administration has made a show of stepping up enforcement. But do homeland security officials really have nothing better to do than raid businesses that hire willing workers – especially in states like Iowa, where the jobless rate is 3.5%? These immigrants are obviously responding to a labor shortage for certain jobs. Giving them a legal way to enter the country would free up homeland security money and manpower to focus on real threats.

Reading that you would never know the owners of the plant were scumbags hiring what amounts to indentured servants.

Biggest immig raid ever much worse than you think

WSJ—The usual retarded open borders bull from the capitalists without loyalty to America

[chesley]

I can't speak for other people with an opinion on immigration I will state right up front that I not only want an end to illegal immigration, but a large cut-back in legal immigration. Back to where they must assimilate instead of going into self-perpetuating ghettos. Back to where American citizens are not being harmed by lost jobs.

Back to where immigration is for benefiting America, and not the world.

[dr huer]

Last year May 2 Wall Street Journal editorializes on the need for the immigrant workers, and to relax the opposition to the illegal aliens here.

Further on that issue Joe Morgenstern reviews the movie ‘Waitress’, and in the review conclusion tells us that writer director actress
Adrienne Shelley is brutally murdered by a construction worker at her office. He avoids letting us know the killer is an illegal alien.

[radiohead]

These immigrants are obviously responding to a labor shortage for certain jobs.

BS. I read that the workers were getting $5 an hour. The labor shortage is for workers at that rate. Pay more and plenty of Iowans would be willing to take the jobs.

This is a classic Michelle Malkin Hot Air Vent from June 2007.

Michelle had commented on the WSJ’s no borders policy, they responded about a "Guerrilla" attack.

Michelle then hoists them with a "Gorilla" attack using the WSJ’s own video showing their hypocrisy with an entire editorial board meeting of middle aged white males, with one woman, sitting on the window sill, no place at the table for her, and one black man, no place at the table for him either. But hey, we're the bigots!

[junta]

The WSJ is horrible they are the Simon Legree’s of the buggy whip industry with a touch of Goebels. Defending a 19th century sweatshop as the model of American prosperity, what scum, what morons.

[television is just wrong]

I will not feel safer til they remove all of the illegal aliens from Southern California.

[gitmo]

The bill does nothing to increase legal immigration, which is the only realistic way to decrease illegal immigration.

Huh. When I lived in Guantanamo Bay, we had very little illegal immigration. There was a fenceline. And some landmines. A whole lot of them. And some US Marines with machine guns. And some heavy artillery. And the waters had sharks. And barracudas.

But we did it without increasing legal immigration.
