The schools are so destroyed that I doubt our kids' future productivity as well.
Hello what world do you live in??Those ILLEGAL Immigrants are working OFF THE BOOKS they are not paying taxes and making them legal will not change that ..it just means they will not have to duck the immigration folks..
These folks are a net loss to our National budget..they suck up tax dollars in medical services and in the schools , other social programs..
$10.00 a head for lettace..well my clients used to go pick it for less than minimum wage .
I have no problem allowing seasonal labor into the country..tracked and returned home at the end of harvest..But I do not want them freely roaming the country, and sucking up our Social Services (which they will be able to do once they are LEGAL)
Nope---all this current crop has is the ability to forge documents, collect welfare payments, raise our automobile insurance rates (uninsured/underisured coverage), have ten million babies at taxpayer expense, etc. etc.
Based on her ramblings tonight it appears her prejudices don't extend to her tequila.
As long as Nations keep Sovereignty to any significant level, the Globalism won't work. The attack right now is from an overwhelming number of fronts --- The International Criminal Court, BioSpheres, WorldWide "PeaceKeeping Missions", ALL of the U.N. Programs, and more too numerous to list.
This is an interesting point. But for Globalism to work, it cannot rely just on carrots; it needs a stick - and so far, that stick has been the USA and its armed forces. For the time being the NWO types have to pretend that US armed forces are being used in the interests of the US - a difficult pretense to keep up, at times. Although the 911 was a godsend for them since they can pass off a lot of interventions now as "fighting terrorism".
The sh!t really hits the fan when/if the USA implodes or cannot fund its military commitments anymore, and when/if the UN starts keeping its own military assets, independent of any one country.
I was speaking of immigration in general in that comment. I doubt very much that FedGov will stand for an employer not taking payroll deductions on the wages of US citizens. Tax evasion is a major bust.
The problem with illegal immigration is not that labor costs too much; it is that growers compete in a commodity market. If one grower can outdo another by using illegal labor, then his profits will increase. Inevitably, all growers must do the same thing to survive. As recent studies show, illegal immigration is driving down the wages of millions of Americans, while at the same time increasing their taxes. To stop this downward spiral we must control the borders and police the work site as well.
Your $10 lettuce doesn't add up.
I'll say one thing though, you have a lot of energy (stubborn). How long have you been on this board?
It's no secret to me. I live above Silicon Valley as a fourth generation Californian. I worked in manufacturing there for years.
Talking to yourself again, Danevogado?
That's about where I'm at, too.
These guys might be worth a look: Constitution Party
Take a look at the immigration plank of their platform.
Before anyone asks, no I am not a member of that party.
We've never been asked if we agree to mass immigration. And they never will. They know what the answer would be. No one supports this but those in Washington and the illegal aliens pouring in.
