I'm sorry, I should have known better. Thank you for your support.

Hey NellieMae...

Do you think you have some divine right to those contract dollars? Sounds to me like your hubby is too damned expensive. Free Enterprise lady...sometimes we forget how well it works.

[Spruce]

I would like to personally congratulate the internet for single-handedly destroying the entire printing industry(and millions of high-paying jobs) in less then a single decade.

Telling me to go to hell is really showing your lack of intelligence."

No need for him to make an intelligent responce to such a stupid post.

[Osage Orange]

This same story was happening in CA 15 years ago......Seems no one cared then...and nobody cares now.

Sorry...sounds so defeatist...but that's the straight skinny.

[cripplecreek]

LOL

[NellieMae]

Sounds good to me!!

[Osage Orange]

BS!!!!

This is way, way pre-GB.

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

So it's a race to the bottom...

It's called the free market and competition.

When you go to the store to buy something, do look to pay the most or the least?

I'm sure you say... please let me pay twice as much as I could buy the product elsewhere...

I'm not buying it, not for a dollar...

[Types_with_Fist]

No problem. I should have put the "" tag at the end...:-)

Best of luck though to you and your husband. We have the problem squared here out west.

[Past Your Eyes]

"Go to hell!

There's been a lot of that here lately. If you're not on board with their particular point of view and have the audacity to express it, it's "go to hell" or "get lost". In this case if you're not on board agreeing with a vanity post which could have easily been found on DU, you're the bad guy. What a bunch of whiners.

[NellieMae]

I am so.. disappointed in Pres. Bush.

[Sister_T]

Sorry about your husband and you have every right to be outraged!

There's no logic reason why LEGAL Americans should have to compete with ILLEGAL INVADERS. Free market my foot! This is aiding and abetting a crime. Those who employ these illegal aliens should get fined so heavily that they would think twice about hiring these criminals!

[JayNorth]

One thing I've certainly noticed with the flood of cheap illegal immigrant labor is the poor quality of the work they are doing.

Here in Nevada almost all residential construction is done by illegal workers.

I walked to the post office just after we bought our new house. The brand new sidewalks are third-world quality. Uneven, poorly finished, quite clearly done by someone with no concrete skills whatsoever.

We have truly sold our souls to the devil on this immigration mess.

In our local Wal-Mart the stockers must be all from Mexico. The boxes are all bilingual, with English printed on one side and Spanish on the other.

The vast majority or times that shelves are stocked the boxes are turned around so the SPANISH side shows, like we're shopping in Tijuana or Toledo.

Plus, we went to a restaurant the other day, it was closed, and the sign was bilingual, the Spanish "Cerrado" was on top, more prominent, in bolder trype, than the English "Closed."

Pissed me off!

My girlfriend's grandparents came from Sicily, through Ellis Island, and THEY learned English, why the heck can't the Latinos???

We are a melting pot, and English should be the roux that binds us all...

[SomeoneNeedsToSayIt]

Please tell me how that is fair?? They are willing to do the work for less... Period. I have no interest in how they get it done for less only that it cost less.

[Types_with_Fist]

I am so.. disappointed in Pres. Bush.

Yeah. There's a lot of that going around.

[Mr J]

I think most Congressmen believe pro-borders Americans can't rally half a million people to support their cause.

On the other hand, the illegals can do this: http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=1768764

So guess who wins?

[HereInTheHeartland]

"is too high the organization offering the opportunity will choose someone else. You need to become competitive with the market or find something else to do."

This scenario seems to repeated in many areas.
But is it OK to flaunt the law and allow illegal aliens come in masse? They are happy to live a 3rd world existence in our country.
Costs are shifted onto the rest of us. Health care, schooling, etc.
Many are uninsured and drive. Costs are shifted onto the responsible people when an accident happens, etc, etc....

Immigration is a great thing, illegal immigration is not.

"I would like to personally congratulate the internet for single-handedly destroying the entire printing industry(and millions of high-paying jobs) in less then a single decade."

I'm involved in the printing industry, and this is untrue. The internet has actually led to more printing. The bigger threat to domestic employment in the printing industry is offshoring to South Korea and China, possibly even Viet Nam. How they can sell it for less than we pay for the same paper stock is beyond me. Currency distortion, I guess. Marketing services will be next on the block. I've already experienced some pressure to do my product photography where the product is produced. I'll survive, one way or the other, but I'll have to admit, I'm not looking forward to just being some sort of a broker. I actually enjoy seeing projects come to fruition, to get involved, touch it, feel it, smell it. Won't be able to be very hands-on with production ocurring on the other side of the planet.
