I do not think that another 'Trail of Tears' would enhance the poll numbers of Pres Bush. I listened to most of his talk today and I think he made as good a case as he could for the practical and humane approach to dealing with the illegal immigration problem. He seemed to make a point of referring to "jobs Americans won't do" and I knew that would catch him a lot of flack. I am not one who disagrees with that sentiment. I have had many occasions in the past 10 years of renovating our home and trying to hire help to know that such is the case. The stories I could tell!! And I am not alone. Perhaps we could have a version of the Affirmative Action program that would require employers to publicly list job openings and Americans would be given first crack at them. He is right about the congress having the job of expanding or shrinking green cards for various nationality groups. Congress has the opportunity to resolve this situation if they will.

Let your job be one of the ones listed but at half the current pay. You might find that you have one of those jobs "Americans won't do".
