I rigidly demand laws enforced or be taken off the books. Some of that money helps families while much of it is taken as graft. Bank of America and Wells Fargo should be prosecuted for their complicitness in this scheme.
The corruption is sickening.
Congress needs to de-anchor the anchor babies, I agree. If you're an illegal immigrant, or if you're only here on one of these proposed work passes, then the younguns should be viewed as belonging to the home state of the parents. Or if that differs between the two, the mother.
That's a rather LIBERAL reading of what he said.
Corporate welfare?
Do you prefer government welfare?
Companies invest in their businesses and hire people.
Some people are more fed up than others but I see a growing trend toward securing our borders, while working to give people seeking work, work with employeers looking for skilled and unskilled labor. OUR economy has been helped and hurt by illegal immigration. Let's control it and set limits.
They may have allowed some people to save money, but the broader cost more than cancel that out.

The problem is "illegal" immigrants, and the willingness of our governement to ignore the law.
Oh, you mean like Clinton? I'm sure his resting pulse rate is more in line with the citizenry.
This is a Republic BB. It is representative government. If you and yours want to lobby, go forth and make your case. We all have one vote. There is no super-dooper corporate vote. And BTW, as I recall, big business was cozying up big time to Ron Brown during Clinton's administration. There was more hanky-panky going on than in the Oval Office. Remember how that house of cards fell apart after 9-11. Look at the economy now BB.
Too many on Capital Hill like holding up businesses by threatening legislation. Boy, that brings the campaign dollars in. These people need to be voted out not rewarded. Because the bottom line is WE the consumer pay that freight.
They want all the gains that come from this cheap labor to be privatized, but all the expense that accrues in the way of health care, education, increased crime and lower quality of life to be socialized
They? Who's they? Corporations are trying to educate the next generation. One example. They need people who can read and write and add. They need sharp technical minds. Cheap labor is just that cheap and it can be gotten in any number of places. They don't need to manufacture it. Good grief! Get a grip.
As to health care, that's another government stink bomb. Third party pay is a bane on our country. Wouldn't it be much better to pay direct? Of course it would. Then all those hidden charges would be exposed by a furious consuming public.
Bush is doing his damnedest to shrink government. It's like turning a battleship going full steam. He's had more success than most could expect given the Senate. Where he hasn't been able to get all he wanted, he got as much as he could. He has moved the country to the right and where he couldn't get much of what he wanted HE planted a stink bomb to go off ie NCLB. It's better to get something and be grateful, than get nothing and then wallow around in self-pity.
Bush is working for the country.
Look at the housing market. Who do you think is building these houses?
