please see post 82.

Our FRiend Windflier lost everything he owned because unscrupulous contractors and customers used illegal aliens in the workforce. Unless you two think Americans will work for the same wages as illegals?

@Windflier, My apologies for misreading the tone of your post. You were clear, I just was careless. You & your wife are in my prayers.

I am not happy for the problems Windflier encountered. I think it is a damn shame, and I believe WF ought to find someone or something to help him....The Christian Legal Societyhas 40 chapters throughout the United States. Perhaps they can assist our friend.

I can tell you this: illegals need to be excused from our society. Legal immigration, yes. Illegal immigration, NO.

Yes, we may pay more for goods and services. I think in the LONG RUN we'll pay less, because we also won't be paying medical and education and legal bills that illegal immigration costs our society.

If we are not a nation of laws, we become a nation dependent upon the desires of men. And that is dangerous.

I appreciate that. It's why I didn't get snarly in my response to you.

I'm just one of hundreds of thousands of small business people who've had their businesses cut off at the knees by the effects of illegal aliens in the workforce. In my trade, nearly all of my old contractor buddies have suffered the same fate as I have in the last five years.

The market distortions and long-term ill effects of rampant illegal immigration have now come home to roost, and they are devastating to all Americans.
