>>Well....he's aware of the old chestnut about no-one ever losing money betting against the intelligence of the American public, I guess....<<

I am hoping that the major problem is inattention, rather than sheer american stupidity.

You know, I have lived among many different economic classes of people. Yet, it wasn't until I was a neighbor of the working-poor in Portland, Maine, where the Cambodian and Vietnamese gangs ran rampant in the mid-1990s, that I became aware of the menace that America's wanton immigration polices impose on the poor.

These young immigrant Asian men (they were mostly 30 year olds, posing as 18 year olds) had been in and out of prison for armed robberies and rape, and were fighting violent drug turf wars on the streets.

They voiced hatred for America and for young American high-school-aged guys. My best friend's daughter's boyfriend, a wonderful 17 year-old kid, was murdered by them, other kids had parts of their ears or fingers macheted off.

These immigrants engaged in sexual activity and impregnated stupid adolescent American girls--so they could 'work the system' they'd say, and they treated these girls terribly, stealing from them, and physically abusing them.

Some of them knowingly spread tuberculosis to unsuspecting and stupid adult American women. The fish factory jobs that unskilled Mainer's had occupied for generations were taken by these Asians willing to work for cheaper wages--and many--despite having families, spent their money on cocaine.

I was aghast that the people we elect to make laws would do this to their constituents. No one seemed to know why these people were here. They took it as inevitable.

This is when I began to look into the horror that is our immigration policy, and found our Senators and House Reps., as well as the 'charitable' businesses, Catholic and Lutheran charities, and immigration lawyers, were repsonsible- a lot of money is to be made by bringing these people here.

The gangs are gone now, because of a strong police force, and many of these characters in prison. But hard-working American citizens have have been permanently damaged.

When I began to inform family and friends, who existed in their upper- and middle-economic class worlds, obliviously, they were shocked, too.

People just assume while they go about their busy lives that their legislators will do what is best for them--

We have to educate others--that is the key.

(I hope I haven't gone beyond the pale of your attention here, I apologize if I have).
