A few years ago I made the point on another forum that it was begining to dawn on the Democrats that they have aborted their base and they are going to have to rely increasingly on the dead, felons, and illegal aliens for their votes. Someone responded that I had written a very powerful post. Man, even I didn't realize it until I read Rush's piece. God save this great nation, because the Rinos won't.

Nightmarishly there they stand, in the Senate, grinning. Those death heads, grinning, laughing at the nation they are deliberately destroying. Laughing at a great people being doomed to poverty, violence and loss of rights. Grinning, spitting on the graves of the our vets, their sacrifices, and still, the death heads grin, laugh, and spit some more.

I couldn't think of the exact words to say what I think, but you said it perfectly. I am a veteran - my dad was a veteran - his brother and brother-in-law were veterans - my mother's two brothers were veterans - both my grandfathers were veterans. And for what? To be betrayed in 2006 by a group of politicians. And how ironic it is, that as we were all (or most of us) looking to the East worried about Arab terrorists, the worst threat casually walked right in behind our backs from the South. And with our government's blessing. Oh, God, how did we ever come to this!

The democrats are fixin' to lose on this more than the republicans. Believe it or not, a lot of the democratic base is furious with their party for this immigration bill. Unions and Blacks, for example, are hardest hit by excessive immigration. The illegals and even legal third-world workforce are taking the lower paid American workers out at the knees. I never, ever thought I'd agree with a DU'er, but check out THEIR immigration threads. They are, of course, blaming the big coporations and business class, but they see that their dem politicos are mostly in bed with the these classes. It is interesting, to say the least.

In Southern California, 50% of the construction work force is illegal aliens, many if not most paid under the table, which has effectively ruined the American construction workers ability to bring home a decent salary. I guess now these American construction workers can retrain as computer programmers? Well, guess again! The senate immigration bill ALSO increases the HB1 visa for high tech foreign workers from 65,000 to 125,000!!!

The reason? The senators say there are not enough high tech workers in this country! What a crock! They've been grossly misled or are flat out liars. There is no shortage of high tech workers, just a shortage of high tech workers who can work for peanuts! I am a high tech trainer/instructor. I am certified in a bunch of products; I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer. If a person has coded cobol or c for the last couple of decades, he/she can easily be taught asp.net, Java, VB, C#, etc, etc.

My older students (40s-50s) are often asking me if I've heard about any decent jobs, because they are so often without one. Ask me, I'll provide any business man with names and resumes. But guess what? They cannot afford to work for minimum wage, so be prepared to pay a normal salary. These folks will negotiate a wage if you'd just let them show you their talents and skills. But it is cheaper in the short run to fire an engineer or coder when he/she gets older because they cost so much salary and benefit wise, compared to the HB1 indentured servant who will work for peanuts and provide long hours to avoid the risk of being sent home.

We are losing jobs at the bottom and the middle, due to the one-two bunch of illegal immigration and HB1 visas. The senate (both dems and repubs) has screwed the American worker.

God help the American worker. When he/she is gone, then the big corporations will realize they killed the goose that laid the golden egg!
