The United States was a power second to none in 1990. Where was the impetus for gutting our economy?

Where indeed? The selfsame managers who wouldn't let people telecommute "because they couldn't keep an eye on them" cheerfully send their entire XXX department 10,000 miles away...

Let me see if I've got this right.  Citizenship today guarantees...

1. You get to compete with cents an hour overseas employees for your job
2. You can't afford medical coverage, to take vacations or to save for your retirement on what you earn, and your employer doesn't contribute to any of these
3. Your neighborhood has been overrun by third world individuals who make about the same salary you do, only under the table
4. You can't afford to support your own family, but the folks mentioned in item 3 can afford to send billions collectively back to the old country, further decaying economic activity in your neighborhood
5. 50 to 75% of the people in your own home town don't speak English and want to forsake US holidays and celebrate those from the old country
6. Your president fails to notice your income status, but thinks people from other nations need billions of dollars worth of supports
7. While you don't have the funds for medical care, the foreign national gets it for free
8. While you can't afford to send your kid to college, the foreign national get free k-12 education for his children to the tune of $80 to $120 thousand dollars.
9. Your children get a small discount on their college tuition if they are instate, because you worked your whole life paying taxes to support these programs.  The foreign national's children get these discounts because, well just because.  It doesn't matter if most their parent's income was under the table thus avoiding taxes.
10. While your wife gets strip searched or x-rayed at the airport, revealing the most intimate of her personal anatomy, our borders remain wide open, people from terrorist states STILL entering our nation.  Your bank and your state recognize foreign IDs which are not secure and may actually facilitate the monetary transactions of terrorists.  While you have to provide secure ID at airports, the illegal alien can now obtain the same ID without secure documentation in a growing number of states in our nation.
11. While your family endures this treatment at our airports, merchandise crossing our borders passes thorugh 95 to 98% uninspected.  It receives better treatment than it's human counterparts.
12. While you see fewer movies and go out to eat less often, the government redistributes what funds you to take home, giving it to people who do not pay income taxes at all.
13. If you are married, you pay more taxes than if you and your wife weren't.  Fixing this just wouldn't be reasonable.
14. The crowning act?  When your governor and the president celebrate the day your race makes up less than 50% of your state's populace.
