I have no interest in making it safe to illegally immigrate.

I agree. When will this stop? When the next 15 million get here? We have laws on the books that would do the job if the hypocrite politicians would demand it.

America is waking up to the fact that "cheap labor and cheap prices" are costing us an estimated 60 BILLION every year, and it will only get worse if something isn't done to stop the human tsunami.

It isn't necessarily the 'Americans' that lust after the "cheap labor and cheap prices".

It is the self appointed elite group of Board of Directors of companies that lust after the large paychecks and bonuses to run companies they know nothing about.

True entrepreneurism seems to have died, along with great people like James Cash Penney, William Rosenberg and Howard Johnson. Now we seem to be held hostage by some mysterious group of cartels.

I wonder what they were exporting?

Apparently this is OK with the President of the United States! It is shocking to even think this, let alone realize that it's true. We are truly being sold out to foreign interests.

Yes, Bush did it. /sarc

I haven't a clue what they were exporting.

A quick search hasn't turned up a thing.

I do wonder though....
