I agree with you. I like Mexican people. For the most part, the are hardworking, honest people desperate for work. BUT—paying illegals a lower wage puts 15 or 20 of them in a three bedroom house! Do we want to put a third world standard of living in our middle class neighborhoods?
I don’t blame them, they are just trying to make it. TAKE AWAY THE WORK, and they will stop coming. Both parties are in the pocket of big business on this one, just like big pharma on the drug bill. 95% of our legislation is written by lobbyists. Since when is it conservative to let big corporations own the government? Deregulation is one thing, but sheesh. This is getting out of hand.
It is interesting to note that Big Corporation owns FedGov. This is a true fact. FedGov is Constituted for the purpose of furthering commerce and the XIVth Amend gave Corporations the rights of legal persons including, strange to think of since the Civil War had just been fought to eliminate ownership of persons, the right to own legal persons in the case of other Corporations. Very confusing, no?
As to Mexico, the USA de facto owns most of it. It is third world in the sense that registering property is difficult and expensive so isn’t done generally, but where NAFTA applies, for the world of Corporations, private property and private property rights exist. If you are a Corporate Attorney you are on top of the world unless you are asleep.
