Very good post.

I would add that much of the incentive for employers to use legal immigrants (e.g., H1-B visas, etc.) is related to the exact same factors you mentioned.

Paragon of calm reason? My read on him is that he is full of himself to a level that would make Rush blush. His scoffing at anyone that disagrees with him comes through without saying a word. I guess he spends as much time picking apart arguments he disagrees with as FR does with Democrats policy decisions. The only difference is, those he most vehemently takes to task, are his supposed natural allies......conservatives. To me, he is a big govt Democrat, but his “religious” “habit”, because it seems he worships the tradition but not the deity, means his social life requires being pro life.

“...but sometimes a hard line liberal shows up in his posts...”

Ask him this ONE simple, easy, non-rocket scientist question:

“Do YOU agree that I as a Citizen have the absolute CONSTITUTIONAL, HUMAN, and CIVIL RIGHT to own, carry, and use if need be, a handgun for personal self-defense and the defense of my family - on the road, outside/inside my home, state-to-state?”

His answer will determine once and for all EXACTLY what he is...and what he thinks of YOU for having the temerity to exercise your right.

If that answer is NOT an immediate, unconditional YES, then he/she/it is nothing more than a POS with designs on your liberty and views you as nothing more than someone to be dictated to - NOT answerable to, as a Public Servant is supposed to be.

For that matter - that’s the question we should DEMAND an answer of for EVERY politician.

For the record, I don’t know where he stands on it...but I have a pretty good guess with the “D” after his name.

It’s a pretty simple test - either a freedom advocate or a fascist-in-waiting

Once again...

God, the excuses are preposterous.

I hear ya. I just don’t buy into this s—t, and I know you don’t either.

I know that Ed Koch is Jewish and that’s why I said that his stupid and outrageous remark was so regrettable because he “wrote it,” which meant he thought about it before he put it on paper.

You seem to think I am a personal friend of Ed Koch, since you ask me to ask him an one simple, easy non-rocket scientist question:

Will never happen, I don't know Ed Kock personally, and if you got the idea I did, based on the fact that I read his articles sometimes, your having a comprehension problem. Don't live in New York, chances of meeting him is about 1 in 8,000,000 if I visit New York,so your question you want me to ask him will never be asked. Sorry about that.

You'll have to write him a letter yourself if its important to you and hope he answers your simple, easy, non-rocket scientist question...

Oh you’d be surprised. I’ve had to fight folks here who supported the illegal immigrants. “Jobs U.S. Citizens won’t do...” and the like are hurled here not all that infrequently.

You misunderstood me, goat granny...it was rhetorical.
My apologies if it wasn’t clear.

Medved does not broadcast where I am so I only hear him once in a while. He speaks in a calm and measured way no matter how foolish and fanatical he is otherwise

He is genuinely religious (Jew) and his pro life position is for real. As for immigration he’s as bad as the other moderate RINOs what have you

They’re the jobs that AMERICAN TEENAGERS USED to do...

How do, D-1?

Ca is inundated. Illegals have been undercutting each other for work there for decades which is why they have been moving out to other states.

Keep the pressure on them. Attrition works. We just need to make certain they can’t return when the economy starts to creep back up.

Diane Feinstein is a sterling example of hypocrite - she carries a concealed weapon, but votes against permitting others to do the same.

That used to be true. Even if we could get our laze teens off of Facebook chat long enough to look for a job, there wasn't any. These day's Illegals are taking dad's construction/factory/warehouse/delivery job. Illegal's kids are taking those entry level jobs now.

I know. I live in CA. I don't think that CA should be bailed out. Liberal policies (also by Republicans as well as Democrats) have put this State in the hole and they must be allowed to fail before anyone learns anything about what destroys a State.

The point was that if the US is bailing another country out of debt, how can it refuse to bail out one of its own States? Good question. Although it can and must refuse, it should have never bailed out Greece.

My apologies, Moe. My last response to you was actually referring to another thread http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2507533/posts that I had thought you’d posted from. I had a mixed up moment.
