"We were blessed with a huge influx of Spanish speakers, and I'm sure a lot of them weren't in this country legally," Barbour said. "I don't know where we would be in Mississippi if they had not come."

The "Spanish speakers" were willing to live in terrible conditions while at work building new homes. The experience led Barbour -- who favors raising the number of high-skilled immigrants admitted to the United States -- to realize that "there is also essential lesser-skilled labor that we need."

Yes, third world people are grateful for jobs... Why stop with trades people? Let's bring in a few hundred thousand to compete with our politicians and 'journalists'. Most of 'em will work for very little and be extremely grateful. People from India can write 'news copy' for $12.00 an hour and never complain. Government workers can be replaced too - again folks from India and the Philippines will be joyful to have a chance to earn ten bucks an hour and we won't a have to pay benefits. Is that the 'new' American way? Slavery-lite?

Even people like Haley and his friends can have people competing with them - willing to work for slave wages. How would fat old Haley like that? You can take someone like Haley Barbour out of the Jim Crow south, but it's hard to take Jim Crow thinking out of Haley Barbour types. What a jerk... he might as well be a Democrat. Haley we're NOT going to allow you and your friends to force us to compete with the third world while also being forced to pay for 'job training' for people who have been taught to be dependent.

And here I thought the cost of labor was the reason we needed to have all our chickens processed in China. So we’re sending chickens to China for processing.

But now we need illegals to do that work. Because they haven’t already been doing that work for cheap.

Pick one.

Thanks for the ping.

Mr. Barbour makes me sick with his bad imitation of a Southern plantation owner.

Just seems like he’s bound and determined to validate a lot of ugly stereotypes.

But he’s no Republican. Just a Blue Dog Democrat, lookin’ for some more darkies to do the dirty work for him.

Well in that case there's one other thing: The Chinese can ignore American ambulance chasers.

I agree. We cannot go on as we are, but I do believe when the gravy train comes to an end it will be ugly.

Barbour is very uninformed, there is a reason the prisoners won't work in the chicken plants. The "Spanish Speakers" Viscously run off anyone who is not a "Spanish Speaker." Some of us know from experience how that game is played.

We who live near the Mexican Border have been waiting 28 years for the Government to live up to the promises made when they passed the Amnesty Bill. Mr.Barbour and his cohorts are clueless about what happens along the Border. They should all move their families out of their gated communitys to the Mexican Border for 2 years, most of them would see things a little more clearly after experiencing the mess intentionally made by our Government.

I recently had some business in a small central NC town.

What an eye-opener! The most heard language on Main Street? Español. At Ace Hdwe, the greeting was, "Buenas tardes." I must say though, all very polite.

Got a good laugh when I said in español, "I prefer to do business in English." The Haley Barbours of the Olde South simply choose to temporarily ignore that their states could very well be on the way to becoming part of Aztlán. Whateva! Their gated communities might help keep out the red-neck lynch mobs for a while longer.

According to my sources, NC is going to wind up at least 40% Latino, and that is not good news for African-America. As soon as the Latinos infiltrate the Welfare Department, there's gonna be a heap'o'trouble. Right now, the Establishment move is to get the Latinos on the Welfare Grab-a-Goodie Train and eventually move those chicken plants, etc. to Haiti and the Dominican Republic, sticking the good olde USA with Latino AND Black welfare populations.

Maybe a cut in welfare and making prison a little less pleasant could fix this problem?
