This... is a joke right? OMG. Over 300 you say? Fascinating. And it took an lnvestigation of how many years? And how many investigators? And how many other cases were overlooked as "not as important" in comparison to this countrywide investigation? Hell they could've found more than 300 in my neighbors DOG house! I'm sorry, but anyone with only 25% of normal brain capacity will tell you that this smells very funny.>>>>>


My same thoughts.........it's *odd* to that someone made sure Fox News got exclusive tape on this so-called *bust*. But with Fox running it 2/3 times an hour, some of the 'sheeple' will think our gov't is doing their job.

Very well put! Don't forget the destruction of American Culture through the Balkanization of our people, and the failure to assimilate newcomers to this country. We are becoming the holiday inn of the world. A nation without borders is NOT a nation.

Thanks, and I'll add those to the list. I also forgot to put down art work (graffiti). This all started about 3 decades ago with:

Mexican: I think I'll go to America where I can have a better life.

American: Sure, I hired him. He's a nice guy, a hard worker and all he wants is a better life. What's the harm in that?

Automation might go a bit further if labor weren't so cheap. Think about it.

The argument can be made that such technology will take much longer to develop as long as there is an abundance of cheap labor which makes investment into research and development for automation technology economically unattractive.

So yes, it will happen in the future, but as long as the cheap labor (which always seems to cost me money every April 15th) is available, it'll be the far future.

No it isn't, but big government owns the politicians that allow it to go on.

Why not Wal-Mart? They are the biggest retailer in the world and so powerful they merely have to pull a few political chains, like that of Sen. Clinton (a former W-M Board member), and, voila, the problem is erased. It's sorta like the Teddy K thing at Chappaquidic. If the pols want to be free from any prosecution, they merely call their lawyers and invoke some kind of privilege, a la Clintoon. Justice applies only for the little people, and never the pols or the big corporations like W-M.

The cleaning crews at local Wal-Marts are all W-M employees and a lot of them are illegals. I know that for a fact.

At least in Calfornia, we benefit from them much more than we pay out.

Good Grief man do you believe your own propaganda?

Explain to me how a gardner pays enough in taxes to send even one child to school for a year. Current cost is nearing $7,000.00, let alone 3 or 4.

I don't think that poster could take the heat. He/she was in beyond his/her depth. I've already shared them with another friend locally and he loved them too.

Did you see the LBGA passed away Tuesday night?

Current cost is nearing $7,000.00,

Here in this part of Texas and New Mexico it is at and over $8,000.00 a year. That's per child.
