<br /> I think this is a good thing, just not clear how its going to be enforced.<br />Bassy
Be mindfull that current jobs are already filled. The work is getting done. Wanna pay $7 for a real (like you and I make) wage picked green pepper?????
I believe the Native Americans did.
All I,m saying is trace your roots (collectively everyones, not just SCO), at one point in time we were all aliens. The laws were made up afterwards to support the power shift (those in power make the laws). This isn't about aliens illegal or otherwise, this is the human condition. It sucks where I am, it looks good where you are, look out here I come! Mankinds prime drive is to improve his/her lot in spite of adversity. These folks are doing what they can to improve their lot. The civilized society absorbs the impact, changes and grows to accomodate and in the long run is better off. This is the value of diversity, not just selective diversity where you take 6 of them and 4 of them and two of them cause you already have 100.<br />I'm not particularily "pro Bush" but someone is putting good ideas in the mans head. <br />Poor leaders make easy decisions, strong leaders make tough ones.<br /><br />Bassy, 8'th graders are probably the smartest people on the planet, they are young enough to be unjaded, old enough to have an opinion, smart enough to articulate it.....what a great topic for the class. <br /><br />Put all the bums and welfare moms to work doing those jobs that we don't want to do... <br /><br />Our state had a program (dunno if it's still going) that got the welfare moms to work.<br />They had to do so much, or they'd be cut off assistance. I thought it was working... <br /><br />H.To which I agree with 100% and this goes for those that we are going to give work visas to. They do not get 6 years to pop out a kid who becomes a citizen so they can use that as an excuse to apply for citzenship.
Specific to this request: <br />The President has never told me that if I fail to pay my income taxes or trespass on my nieghbors property, that he will offer me a much better life. On the contrary, it's been made clear to me that if I violate the law of the land, I will have to pay a consequence. <br />The state of California has been pleading with the Federal government to help with the flow of illegals into this state. It has a direct effect on this states economy. The burden has been put to it to house, feed, educate and mend the illegal.As well as the burden on infrastucture.<br /> This is an equally important consideration. The supply of cheap labor is only cheap to the employers of that labor. This cheap labor is very expensive to the TAX PAYER! <br />It's doubtful that California would be in the hole for the billions it is, if it wasn't for the illegal.<br /><br />
Here your making the assumption that a person that is doing very well with the status quo would now want to have taxes, SSI, SDI taken from his check. <br />If the Feds were unwilling to enforce laws before why would the illegal think they would enforce a more laxed program?<br />Since the one act of enforcement of the border was said to be to difficult and expensive. It's logical to assume the multi tasking of documenting, maintaining, monitoring, educating, teaching, housing, healing, and otherwise providing for 8-12 million (with millions more on thier way), will be an expense monumental in comparison!<br /><br />One final point. <br />Many here aren't taking into account that many who cross the border with a Mexican National is from all over Central and South America. Cooperation from a nieghbor country is much different then a total loss of control from several of many.<br /><br />And just to clarify. If I were born south of the border, I'm dang sure positive I'd be an illegal alien. <br />My stance is firmly on the illegality, hypocracy and the clear election year pandering that is taking place by my Presidente.<br /><br />!Buenos noches mi amigos y gracias!
I agree boatingfool. <br />I'm just so sick of having that single choice all the time.
