I am neither a Liberal or even a Democrat. In fact, I am so far Right my LEFT TURN signal is dismantled.

However, this is the perfect example of Liberal Progressiveness.

We ‘sat back’ and let the illegals work, paid their kids way through school, gave them welfare, food stamps, housing vouchers, allowed them to have Drivers Licenses (EVEN LETTING THEM BRING AN INTERPRETER TO THE EXAM) various towns, municipalities and cities allow them to vote in local elections, WE put up street signs in the language of the ‘neighborhood’, made ballots available in dozens of languages.

Now we are allowing them to go to College and if the subject of money comes up, they are allowed the same loans AND resident rates.

So, it is only natural that ‘WE’ should allow ‘THEM’ to work at the field we have paid for.

Is this a great country or WHAT?

Aren’t we(collectively) the biggest bunch of idiots for allowing this?

It gets lonely out here being a ‘force of one’ and having people tsk tsk every time one rails in regards this BS, much like I have also been on this ‘VOTE ALL INCUMBENTS’ out bandwagon for many years.

illegals can get a license to practise law in this country and the American citizen has to register his or her gun

Next, we need to allow law firms to outsource to China and India.

That's already being done. Many large firms are outsourcing work to India and Philippines. China? Not so much.

I'm talking about outsourcing attorneys and litigators in the Plaintiffs’ Bar, not clerks and paralegals.

Too late for this section!

I'd contend that large firms are outsourcing attorney work overseas, the type of pre-trial grunt work that would typically be handled by a first, second, or third year associate attorney at the firm 5 or 10 years ago. It's gone beyond the outsourcing of paralegal and clerical tasks.
