Looks like the longshoreman's union is going to be outsourcing to Kansas.
please God kill this superhighway.
It is the highway of death for the USA
Let's distinguish between legal and illegal immigration. I have, like most all Americans, no problem with legal immigration. I have a big problem with illegal immigration. It's "illegal" for a reason, and just because it's good for business doesn't make it good for America. Clearly, for 20 years the Federal Government has turned a blind eye on the laws that were written in 1986 and beyond. Now we have 10 to 12 million illegals in this country. History shows amnesty doesn't stop the flow of illegal aliens.
Jorge's at it again. Enriching the Mexican entrepreneurs, that Americans won't.
A couple of questions.
- How do the goods get from the Mexican port to the US border? Do they have good roads?
- Who runs the Port? Is Dubai Ports World involved?
- Why would China abandon the terminals it owns on the West Coast of the US and go to Mexico?
North American Union.
The writing on the wall is getting clearer and clearer everyday. ruh-roh..
Not as sinister as this:
Congress has passed 7 amnesties for illegal aliens, starting in 1986.
1. Immigration and Reform Control Act (IRCA), 1986: A blanket amnesty for some 2.7 million illegal aliens
2. Section 245(i) Amnesty, 1994: A temporary rolling amnesty for 578,000 illegal aliens
3. Section 245(i) Extension Amnesty, 1997: An extension of the rolling amnesty created in 1994
4. Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) Amnesty, 1997: An amnesty for close to one million illegal aliens from Central America
5. Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act Amnesty (HRIFA), 1998: An amnesty for 125,000 illegal aliens from Haiti
6. Late Amnesty, 2000: An amnesty for some illegal aliens who claim they should have been amnestied under the 1986 IRCA amnesty, an estimated 400,000 illegal aliens
7. LIFE Act Amnesty, 2000: A reinstatement of the rolling Section 245(i) amnesty, an estimated 900,000 illegal aliens
8. Nine current bills are vying to be Amnesty No. 8
Perhaps, too, landlords will lower the rents they charge, home owners will be willing to sell for less, medical services will become more affordable, and utilities will lower their rates to bring the cost of living in line with the new Mexican wages.
The U.S. must've been the test case for morphing a republic into a democracy.. Well thats pretty much accomplished, NOW..

I completely understand the difference between illegal and legal.
Amnesty will not stop illegals, but I argue that a giant fricken' wall will not stop them, either. We must endeavor to understand why they come here, and then address that.
If our Conservative leader, Stephen Harper was involved in the planning,
then the jokes on Bush as the NAFTA Highway appears to enter Canada near
Thunder Bay, where there nothing, nada.
The 50 Canadians living within the 1000 sq miles up there will not present
many export/import opportunities.
I suspect that this story is a pile of horseshit..
I wouldn't call it "mexican wages," I would call it somewhere in between what Mexican dock workers currently make and the price controlled-wages that American unionized dock workers currently make.
And I think everyone knows that if no one is buying, the free market forces you to lower your price.
You sound liberal with your refusal to investigate cause and effect. Respond to the effect, ignore what causes it.
Send them back, yes, but we will be wasting our time sending a lot of people back, most likely, the same people over and over again, unless we work to create real change.
I'm on my first cup of coffee so please tell me you forgot your sarcasm tag.
I remember leftist after 9-11 wanted us to 'endeaver' to understand why people wanted to fly planes into our buildings and murder us. Are you one of those?
I was merely remarking on the fact that it's a bit of a stretch to call this a "quiet plan." And if you think that illegal immigration is a problem, as do I, it'd be better to allocate your resources in that direction, instead of protesting a toll road.
I understand perfectly why people want to fly planes into our buildings. Because they hate America, Americans, and everything we stand for. Because they hate democracy, human rights, treating everyone as equals, and freedom of religion.
Libs wanted us to "understand" some made up reason.
This article is the Mexican reason why illegals come here. Try reading it.

Are we so naieve to think that Mexico won't have a union for the ports?
Yet, you cannot see a bloodless(for now)invasion of our country?
