Why pay Longshoreman wages, when there are UAE citizens that will do the exact same thing for less money?

You know better than this. Or you should. It was establised beyond any doubt that DPW was in management, seven levels removed from any onsite position. The longshoremen that are there now would have, and will be, the same men.

Coulda, shoulda. Divesting is the best option. Saves face for Dubai, and brings the rhetoric down a few notches. Immigration is inextricably tied to this. I wrote and called my Representative and Senator regarding this. And regarding immigration. I fall into the "let's do something reasonable about illegal immigration" crowd. No round them all up. No wall. No trade the Green card for Gold card. Yes for document compliance, workplace enforcement, wage/hour/safety enforcement. The only way to plan a viable policy is to get an accurate count of illegal immigrants and register them. I do not pretend to know exactly how the program should work. That is why legislators make the big bucks. I do know that there is a problem, and the Dims are whipping people into an isolationist/nationalist frenzy regarding Mexico.
