sprach forth the following:

Maybe if we didn't have an influx of cheap crap

"An influx of cheap crap" - a perfect description of illegal immigration.

I don't know that I'd stoop to using those words, but it is virtually
the same problem as walmart, et al.

Illegal immigration should and MUST be stopped, but it is not in the
interests of this administration to do so. I hope the next
administration can read immigration laws for content and develop
enough courage to do the right thing.

It's for sure in the interest of Democrats to allow illegal immigration.
That will become their voting base soon. The Republican Party will become
history, and we'll have a one party country. Luckily, I'll be dead and gone
then.

BTW, I just got back from Home Depot. I checked fluorescent light bulbs.
All of them were made in China. Then I checked GE's regular light bulbs.
Same result. Then I looked at a few other things, all made in China. I
think, except for lumber, it may be hard to find something in Home Depot
that's *not* made in China. BUT - the Black and Decker edger blade wasn't
made in China! It was made in Mexico!

I also noticed that all the big overhead signs are now in two languages,
English is still printed a little bigger, but I imagine that'll change
soon. Doesn't it cost the consumer money to reprint all those signs? Am I
not paying for the failure of the Spanish speaking immigrants to learn a
little English?
