Any limits to the number of guest workers? Would it be pegged to legit demand? Or would these workers be screened only for criminality etc.?

Sorry about that, HighFlier, #219 was aimed at Ben Ficklin.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

"It is not necessary to demonize those with whom you disagree." Tell that to the rest of your hyena pack. Whatever courtesy you may have formerly been extended went away with your unprincipled attack on Travis McGee. In other words, look in the mirror.

"I learned quickly that a political label is considerably different from a pregnancy test. There is a lot [of] wiggle room..." True only if you happen to be an ACLU democrat or, perhaps, a GOP Big Tent RINO/Liberal/Moderate. I take politics seriously. Very seriously because of the impact it has on my country, my family and my friends. I don't treat it like some kind of buffet where you can pick and choose ("wiggle room").

Let me be clear. If you are not strong on national sovereignty, closely controlled/protected borders, preservation of American culture, language and customs, then I have no use for you. None.

Yes,Yes and as I said above, there are likely screening criteria already in place.

You might want to look at AgJobs for some info.

If you believe even a tenth of what you have said about Clinton be gone, Ben Ficklin, Dane or anyone else who disagrees with you then you both need a couch or a pill or both.

It’s not a questioning of believing. You and your seditious open borders friends’ statements speak for itself and make quite clear your subversive anti-American agenda. Live with it.

...unprincipled attack on Travis McGee

He lied; he did not retract.

...preservation of American culture, language and customs,

You do realize that your statement, repeated so often singles you out as a bigot and racist.

...then I have no use for you.

Ditto.

"He lied; he did not retract." Your opinion. Travis says not. Travis has credibility--you don't.

"...your statement, repeated so often singles you out as a bigot and racist." Thanks for confirming your status as a member-in-good-standing of the hyena pack race-baiters. Anyone who isn't interested in the preservation of American culture, language and customs isn't much of an American. Again, look in the mirror.

"He lied; he did not retract."

Actually, you previously admitted that it was not a lie. But since you've admitted to being a life-long member of the communist front group, the ACLU, and member of the Democrat Party (the party of treason), not to mention a self-confessed troll and disruptor (citations upon request) you probably have a difficult time remembering that rare moment of honesty.

It appears that you don't have a problem with thousands of illegal aliens crossing our borders and the federal government doing little to curb it.

Perhaps; not everything the ACLU has championed is to my liking.

The ACLU is neutral on the most important civil liberty of all, the RKBA. They're useless. About the only thing they have going for them is Bob Barr.

Harrowup in his own words...
"I have belonged to the ACLU for over 40 years..."   --harrowup

"I am also a Democrat..."   --harrowup

"I was the only liberal there."   --harrowup

"I love beating up on Republicans and Libertarians and especially conservatives."   --harrowup

"Sometimes 'guilt by association' is too often a friend of mine..."   --harrowup

"I will have to take a closer look before I continue my jihad."   --harrowup

Now after reviewing those quotes, why would anyone give one iota of credence to any statement about American patriots from the mouth of a confessed life-long member of the communist front organization, ACLU?

And why would anyone impart even a shred of credibility to comments about important constitutional matters made by anyone who has admitted being an unrepentant life-long liberal member of the Democratic Party, the party of treason?

But note that the CAL-9 stand shoulder-to-shoulder with their brother, this self-confessed ultra-leftist, troll and disruptor. Why hasn't harrowup been banned from Free Republic?

What does that tell you about the ownership and management of FR?

Apology accepted. It would have helped if I hadn't screwed up the HTML code.

I'm definitely for sealing the borders.

I just assumed...that would be your position.

It is considered impolite on the forum to put words in people's mouths. For the record, I would like to see a security fence, an end to welfare programs/social services for illegals, and enforcement of the laws on employers, but not a position as extreme as you mentioned. If the laws are upheld, most of the problem will take care of itself, however, we still need the to consider actions such as erecting a fence due to terror threats at least as much as due to law breakers.

I do support a guest worker plan that will provide us with a robust labor supply.

No Thanks. Guest worker programs are de-facto Amnesties for Illegal Aliens. A reward to Illegals and their employers for breaking the law that only encourages more illegal immigration and lawlessness. Moreover, our government has proven totally incapable of managing its past Amnesties and derelict in enforcing their provisions. This will end up like every other Amnesty plan tried—In complete total chaos. Enough is Enough.

America is breaking at seams with unskilled, illegal labor. Businesses that require a steady stream of illegal aliens to survive are not the kind of business this country should be emphasizing.

What America needs to remain a 1st world nation in the future is an abundant supply of skilled, educated legal immigrants, particularly in the scientific and technological fields.
