Keep it up Al, let your constituents know who you really are.
It would be of some interest to know what the IQ of this shoe scraping would be.
The defeat of Al Franken and the rest of the state’s Democrats would benefit Minnesota businesses.
That's all that really matters.
In other news, the Huggies wearing senator deludes himself if he thinks.
“I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and doggone it, people like me.”
Business ?
How would he know ?
If they become legal, don’t they become subject to minimum wage? How is that supposed to benefit the farmers? They will just go out and find new illegals...
You know who’s going to be hit the hardest? Independent truckers.
He’s right. But not for the reasons given.
You have a job to fill. You have a US citizen subject to the obamacare mandate and you have the boarder jumper with is new paperwork who is not.
The boarder jumper is cheaper because of it. Who are you gonna higher if both are qualified?
In a vacuum where the only effect of amnesty is the cheapening of labor so that all workers can be paid less, it would be good for business. But, when you take all the factors into account—increased education costs (because they sure won’t learn English), welfare costs, crime costs—it stops being such a bargain.
Even the cheapening of labor isn’t such a bargain because as your employees get poorer, so do your customers. As we are learning in the jobless recovery, we can make do with less, and that means more and more closed businesses every month.
And why would anyone believe anything serious out of the mouth of clown?
Uh, how Bunny diaper boy?
Privatize the profits, socialize the costs. Great for business, terrible for the taxpayer.
They’ll certainly be a boon for the people who’s business is laundering taxpayer money through EBT cards.
Years ago I pointed out to a ‘liberal’ that if you keep putting out policies and laws that adversely affect the “working man taxpayer” you will wind up with fewer taxpayers and more people sucking on the Government teat.
“He said that was fine with him. There would be more taxpayers available to fill the gap.” I could never figure out his logic.
Since the first thought of every ***back crossing the Rio Grande is to make a beeline for Bemidji....
Hmmm, what is the unemployment rate in Minnesota? Minnesota must be doing great if millions of new workers are needed.
Franken and McCain are nuts.
Here's the truth - BECAUSE most Hispanics who come here for work are hard working - when they become 'legal' they move up the American ladder... which is good. BUT it means that the jobs at the bottom aren't being filled again. The system McCain and Franken propose won't work. For it to work we'd have to have an endless supply of illegals that are then made legal to make room for the next bunch of illegals.
Maybe Franker's Dairy farmers need to start paying more - or having more sons - or raising prices or something but the rest of us are sick of paying the price for their 'cheap labor'.
Corrected factual errors in last sentence.
Has anybody had their fill of these moronic, duplicitous politcal rats? I have. The likes of Franken, McCain, Grahm, etc. over the years selling to us what thier global corporate overlords tell them. I’m thoroughly disgusted. What they hell good has any of their great plans achieved. All the great free trade agreements. What has that done for the people of the US?
We need a Tahir Square here in Washington. Time to tell these rats R and D to leave or we will take them out of DC. Forever!!!
