The article's long, so I'm not going to cut and paste it here ... the recent protests against immigration reform would also affect what is happening with allowing possible terrorists enter our country via Mexico. The statistics in this article are alarming.

Mexico needs to do its part, too. It spends more time justifying its people entering the U.S. (illegally) than it does trying to do anything to entice them to stay. And then the immigrants romp around at protests waving a Mexcio flag. What's up with that? They don't have any loyalty to the United States. They just want their cake, eat it, too, and bitch and moan when someone wants them to be held accountable for breaking the law ...

The immigration problem is really very similiar to the the drug problem.

We wouldnt have a flood of dope pouring over the borders if there werent millions of drug users here in the states waiting to snort, smoke, shoot, and swallow all that garbage up as quick as it gets here.

In much the same way, there wouldnt be millions of illegals in our country if there werent jobs for most of them.

We need to drop the hammer on businesses that hire illegals. And lets face it, they hire illegals cuz they can pay them less than minimum wage. Thats just wrong.

If the sea of jobs dried up, the flow of illegals would dry up. Eventually, the only illegals would Al Qaeda types coming here with money in their pockets wishing to do us evil. Even better, without millions of job seekers clogging up the system, federal law enforcement would be better able to deal with real vile scum that wish us ill.

But the fact simply is this... we love convience. We love not mowing our lawns, not picking our produce, not making our own food, and the ability to buy cheap products by the tons. And that spending spree and service based economy can only be fueled by tons of labor that is willing to work for wages that only high school kids would accept, and maybe not even then.

This wont be a simple problem to deal with. I doubt anyone in either party has the sack to take this problem head on. Moreover, I doubt any politician could survive by telling folks our solution to the immigration problem is for Americans to pick their own produce, pay more for a hamburger, and mow their own damn lawn. As Homer said during his election campaign... "thats not America, thats not even Mexico."

Nice job, Bush :cuss: :cuss:

Lets recap here...


Senate Panel Approves Immigration Bill

With a bipartisan coalition in control, the committee also voted down proposed criminal penalties on immigrants found to be in the country illegally.

There was no immediate reaction from the White House

"America should not have to choose between being a welcoming society and being a lawful society," Bush said at a naturalization ceremony for new citizens. "We can be both at the same time."


What exactly did Bush do here again?

Cheap labor conservatives: 1
American middle class: 0

They won't stop until the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have-nots' in America is a chasm several hundred miles wide. By the time they're finished, the middle class will no longer exist; just the moneyed elites in their walled villas and the Mexicans doing the grunt work and the heavy lifting.
