On other threads, there are indeed lists of these corporations.

Freepers can find almost anything!

My conspiracy theory is that Bush and Kennedy have become drinking buddies. Yes Bush must be back on the bottle.

What was wrong for "big business" with the status quo. (assuming arguendo that "big business" is hiring these folks) If illegals are paid less than legals for similar work, and the bill eliminates the illegality, it would seem to me that the number of underpaid workers will decline drastically.

If you are running a big enterprise, you cannot now use illegals to directly replace (and compete with) the relatively highly paid citizens in higher positions because you need reliability. Illegals could be arrested at any time besides opening the organization to legal risks and liabilities.

The boomers are all retiring - there are fewer workers and more wage pressure diluting profits. Bring in more competition and your worker drones are forced to compete much more desperately.

Mass layoffs are only partially successful because they are so disruptive. Why not do it more subtly and incrementally?

It's what many of us fear. Desperate times require desperate measures, and these are definitely times that "try men's (and women's) souls."

For now, we can only continue to do what we have been doing, but double our efforts. I believe that answers...and hopefully solutions...WILL come to us.

Have faith, sweetie.

It is interesting to note that Big Corporation owns FedGov. This is a true fact. FedGov is Constituted for the purpose of furthering commerce and the XIVth Amend gave Corporations the rights of legal persons including, strange to think of since the Civil War had just been fought to eliminate ownership of persons, the right to own legal persons in the case of other Corporations. Very confusing, no?

As to Mexico, the USA de facto owns most of it. It is third world in the sense that registering property is difficult and expensive so isn’t done generally, but where NAFTA applies, for the world of Corporations, private property and private property rights exist. If you are a Corporate Attorney you are on top of the world unless you are asleep.

"this amnesty bill is actually a blatant attempt to head off any attempts at enforcement at all."

This makes sense. George Bush has made it clear that he has no intention of enforcing U.S. immigration laws or closing the Mexican Border.

are we entering a time of lawlessness?

Not by a long shot. We are in a period of ignoring laws passed down from our legislatures but obeying laws rising from the community itself, which is the natural way law evolves. You will find that your neighbors have certain standards of behavior, just as you do. That is the functional law.

That was never implied or suggested. However since you brought it up, considering the damaged and violence that continues to be wrought on this country it might not be a bad idea to flex some muscle and at least threaten the corrupt Mexican government with sanctions or even force if necessary.

Or we can just continue on our current course and watch our borders be completely eliminated, making citizenship all but pointless, changing the very course and direction of America, permanently changing our rule of law based society and our Constitution.

At this point in the game, our choices are clear, and very limited

if this passes, are we entering a time of lawlessness?

It's already occurred.

As a matter of fact, a government that will not protect it's sovereign, legitimate borders, will itself eventually become illegitimate.

Yes, he is back drinking.

There was a photo of our President drinking a so-called non-alcoholic beer. There is no such thing. Even “non-alcholic” beer contains some alcohol.

So, it is true that Bush has started back drinking. And it shows.

I pray he doesn’t crater before his term is up. Seriously.

Kinda reminds you of that old quote “what’s good for General Motors is good for the USA”.

The federal government has for the past 30 or so years done an unacceptable job of enforcing our immigration and depotation laws.

We all knew it. We just didn’t know how adversely it was going to affect us. Now we know.

Well, how much damage could he do from a locked-down psychiatric ward?

I have a theory that just came to me...Bill Clinton was desperate for a legacy and got Monica. We all know that Bush is smarter than Clinton...I submit to you that he is now BUYING a legacy from the liberal historians and media with this amnesty. Anyone care to dispute this?

Invasions don’t have to be “armed”.
