Got to think about this one.

Let's see. If I'm anti-illegal immigration, then I'm against illegal
immigration. Ok, makes sense.

If I'm *against* anti-illegal immigration, then I must be for illegal
immigration.

Give her a break, she's a little ditzy. OK, a lot ditzy.


A little... :)

Coming from Jack the ding-dong. Doesn't hold a lot of water.


He has a nervous bladder?

He also suffers from an overactive brain stem. Like Tosk, he's got
more cockroach in his DNA than the character Vincent D'Onofrio played
in Men in Black. Although the bug had better looks.


None of my friends understands why I loved that movie...

Loved it and even liked the sequel. Tommy Lee Jones, Will Smith were
great together and Linda Fiorentino was smart casting. Characters
were a lot of fun, including Rip Torn. I laughed heartily most of the
way through. Very clever.

I know there's a huge workforce that picks most of our fruits and

getting paid. They also provide domestic help as you pointed out.
While you or I may replace our gardener (I don't have one) in tough

I suspect that citizens or legal immigrants would have picked up much

They were Mexicans in white face paid by Lou Dobbs.

He's just a little too hopped up. Now it looks like he's having to

I don't see a place for him. Given his birther madness, Fox probably
comes closest. Maybe they can turn him totally insane.

If anyone can push Lou into an onscreen heart attack, it'd be Fox.

Hannity will be glad to help him edit footage.


No, it is CBS that edits tapes. Puts sparklers in gas tanks to show they

Oh, are you now disagreeing with Hannity? He admitted they'd doctored
the piece last night and admitted they were wrong. Fell far short of
an actual admission tho', he said it was inadvertent.

Nope, as usual you are lying, he never admitted they "doctored" the
peice. The truth is he only admitted to making a mistake, but of course
your narrow mind can't wrap itself around truth, especially if it
doesn't fit your agenda.. Another German/Japanese screwdriver from the
left... You will always be a lying Just a Piece of ****...


Nope, pointing out some of the mainstream media lies even more. Sort of
like the letter about Bush's military career. No standing up and admitting
they lied.

Quite right. In fact, one of the excuses given at the time was that
even if the document were a forgery, it was at least representative of
the truth. Hyperbole had a field day from the left-field bleachers
with that canard.


Bush was quite the war hero, unlike John Kerry. No hyperbole there.

You're right in a sense. No one is perfect. The difference is the quantity

A nice thought, but incredibly naive.

In Freehold, NJ, there is a muster zone for these illegals. They hang
out there all day waiting for work, for some landscaper or other
business to pick them up. Cash trade.

The town decided to shut down the zone, and began regular patrols to
disperse the crowd:

"Day laborers filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging the borough
prevented workers from seeking employment. The lawsuit was filed on
behalf of day laborers, many of whom are Hispanic immigrants, after the
town shut down a muster zone where the laborers solicited work from area
contractors. The class claimed they were harassed and threatened with
police action for assembling at the location to scout work. The Borough
of Freehold has agreed to settle the case for $278,000." -Newsday

See? They were not illegal immigrants, they were "day laborers", and
*many* were "Hispanic immigrants". All working for cash, neither the
employer nor themselves paying the taxes they owe the government.

Now talk about enforcing the laws already on the books.

Johnson

Sure doesn't look like they were enforcing them in a way that could be
prosecuted. They just shut the area down.

That's the trouble with our democracy. You need to have proof of
illegal activities. They didn't want to go through the trouble.

Why yes, that's it man!

There was no illegal activity. They didn't enter the country illegally.
They weren't loitering around all day on the sidewalks. They weren't
working for employers who didn't pay payroll taxes. These cash
day-workers are truly paying their taxes, dutifully filing state and
federal tax returns every year.

No, golly gee, these are decent, upstanding, law-abiding, hard-working
American citizens, reinforcing the fabric of a solid society. Golly gee,
why didn't *I* think of that when I read the story?

Damn you're brilliant, JPS!


Who are you going after next? Waitresses?

Why? Have they entered the country illegally?

Actually your question says it all, "Who are you going after next?".
That's fear. Be very afraid, JPS. An attempt might be made to enforce
the laws. Thank god it was subverted, and thank god we have you to spin

You must have a tough time living with your words... :)

I got a real kick out of the obviously poor thinking of McCain the last
go-around, and, of course, of the non-thinking of his running mate. And
just to demonstrate my bipartisanship, I was really annoyed by John
Kerry and his dithering in the 2004 campaign.

I like Obama's thinking patterns. I think he is going about making his
decision on Afghanistan in the proper way. On the other hand, I don't
think he is being tough enough in dealing with the Republicans. Since it
is patently obvious their only goal is to get in the way of Obama, I
think he ought to give up all pretense of bipartisanship and
figuratively slit their throats.

You've just witnessed the thinking of The Freak. He was probably too
scared to actually listen to Hannity's admission. Fingers in ears
yelling LA, LA, LA I can't hear you!!!

Hannity admitted that they used the wrong footage. If he had any
knowledge of how an edit bay works, you know that every piece of
footage has a known origin. They knew when they used the clip that it
was from the September rally. This was done PURPOSEFULLY.

They didn't have the footage they wanted, so they used the September
rally footage and labeled it "earlier" on the screen - a confirmation
that they knew it was from "earlier." They didn't identify how much
earlier or that it was from a different rally altogether. It was
KNOWN. THEY LIED. They were trying to make the rally look bigger.

Tosk can't handle that his pudgy/closet gay hero is a serial liar.

Give her a break, she's a little ditzy. *OK, a lot ditzy.

Don't know if it's your or me that's snarky but that should have one

the UN with a snarky speech in a short skirt.


I'm not allowed to use the word snarky, since that means I'm Harry. Nor am
I
allowed to use lol, since it causes some to go lolling about.

You should consider some form of wink. It'd drive 'em nuts.


Unfortunetly, that has other connotations ... ;}

Text is fine. It'd be better if you could get the Kawasaki glasses
and sex kitten hair in there.

You mean like mowing your own lawn and doing your own laundry?
Anyway, the economy is pretty complicated.
Who knows what the impact of the illegal labor is?
I suspect that citizens or legal immigrants would have picked up much
of the slack.
Saw a news article a couple months ago about anglos working picking
fruit. Colorado I think. It's the economy.....

This might shed some light on it.

Some interesting facts here, though just part of the picture.
Seems a Wall Street Fortune 1000 firm hired the illegals.
Seems the SEIU represented them.
Seems like Obama is going after the employers.
"The Obama administration has shifted away from the dramatic workplace
raids that were a hallmark of the Bush administration's enforcement
strategy. Under President Obama, the Department of Homeland Security
says it is putting pressure on employers who break the law."
And,
"The Obama administration has been aggressive in removing undocumented
workers. In fiscal year 2009, which ended in September, ICE deported
6,300 people from the region represented by Minnesota, the Dakotas,
Iowa and Nebraska. That's 1,000 more people than during the last year
of the Bush administration."
(Note: You really need monthly figures to confirm that.)

And that stricter enforcement of the law against employers could solve
much of the "problem."
"The tougher immigration enforcement has prompted three of the
janitor's four siblings to return to Mexico, taking their U.S. citizen
children with them."

Dobbs has for years been saying that enforcing the law is the answer.
To the economy,
"As for the upheaval at ABM in the Twin Cities, the 1,200 jobs held by
the janitors have apparently been filled."
Hopefully with citizens who now go off unemployment and food stamps.
Wish the SEIU represented my wife. She's a skilled chef, and I mean
chef, and makes the same 13 bucks an hour as these janitors.
Having seen her work, and janitors work, I can say with confidence her
work is more demanding on both mind and body.
Her work place is also rife with illegals. I'm sure that serves to
keep her wage down and enrich the shareholders of her publicly
traded employer.
"Greed is good!"
This is just one anecdote, and I'm not trying to come to any
conclusions about a complex issue.
A good start is simply enforcing the laws.
Hope the company gets prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
And that they also fully compensate the illegal employees with the SS
and Medicare taxes they fraudulently extracted from their paychecks.
Likewise the union should compensate the illegals for the portion of
their paid dues meant for retirement benefits.
And that the checks are sent to foreign resident addresses.

Why doesn't it surprise me that Fortune 1000 companies are the biggest
supporters of illegals.

I'd have put money on migrant farm workers constituting the biggest
portion but you learn something every day. Wonder how many food
companies are part of that... ADM, Cargill. It'd be great if more US
citizens could go back to work and make a living instead of having to
rely on unemployment and food stamps.

Thanks for the follow up.
