Thank you very much!

Thank you very much!

That's the nicest thing that anyone's ever done for me.

It isn't every day

good fortune comes me way!

I never thought the future would be fun for me!

And if I had a bugle

I would blow it to add a sort

o' how's your father's touch.

But since I left me bugle at home

I simply have to say

Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you very, very, very much!

Thank you for your donation!

You can't blame the illegal immigrants who have it better under our tyrants than their own.

What about the employers who hire these people?

What about our own government who floods America with legal immigrants to drive wages down?

What about our own government who recruited corporations to leave America and relocate in other countries , paid for with our tax dollars? Allowing them to sell their products back to American's with prices like they were made in America , without charging them tarrifs.

Wages ARE going to go down and taxes ARE going to go up.

But it's not the illegal immigrants doing it to American's , it's their own government.

Fight , but fight the right people.

"Los Angeles Times" will take some heat for printing this article. They are usually more Politically Correct than this.
Here's a website with good info on this subject and makes activism easy:

I've heard on the news today how there are not enough jobs for college students this summer.

Great article bump!

I thought that the liberals solved this wage problem by setting a minimun wage. Everytime the unions want a raise they go to Uncle Teddy Kennedy and demand an increase in the minimun wage.

Wages are no longer based upon the value of the work needed, but based upon government numbers for the masses.

So much for "freedom", we hire the special people to make it fair for everybody, and no one is happy.

To some extent, conservatives are to blame for part of the illegal immigration. You can control illegals with a national identity card and a database of citizens. However, this smacks of a police state and we've been unable to balance the two. Interesting trade-off!

Given the current situation, I'd vote for an identity card.

It's not just illegals. I think they are getting far too much of the blame ---I'd take a hard-working illegal any day over the worthless welfare and SSI bums coming over legally from Mexico. Family reunification is allowing types to come over who have no intention of ever working in this country ---how many elderly parents and grandparents are being brought in by sponsors who have no intention of every providing a dime of their own money to support their immigrant? And those welfare anchor babies which entitle their illegal parents to stay on forever and never work. Welfare rates in many Texas counties along the border are over 50% and much of it is technically by legal immigrants. The formerly amnestied are legal now and qualify for all the welfare programs. Illegals are only a portion of the problem.

That drain will, in turn, increase taxes on businesses and homeowners, who may depart for other states, which in turn will drive tax rates even higher.

Compound this with the loss of manufacturing and tech jobs with hordes of legal and illegal immigrants coming in, a collision will happen. None of this adds up.

Illegal Immigrants Are Pulling Wages Down

Hey, that's my bandwagon. Glad to see other jumping aboard.
