"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.



Bush has been a major player in the desire to sell out American workers,
he's not the only one to blame. Look to corporate America, whose goal
it is to revert back to the 18th and 19th Centuries in this country when
employees were little more than chattel. Real wages are going down the
toilet, and benefits are disappearing. Unlike most of the rest of the
civilized Western world, we don't have any system of national health
care or even a serious system to retrain workers whose jobs are
disappearing.

Illegals are easy to exploit and help further drive down the wages of
American workers. We're headed down a long slide right into the toilet.

Never has the Republican mantra of "I've got mine, so screw you" been
more apt. Perhaps in 25 years or so we'll have a really violent worker
revolution and we'll see lots of multinational corporate heads on pikes.
I doubt I'll be here to see it, though, and that makes me sad.

Yes, I'd forgotten that the liberals are doing all they can to stop illegal
immigration and return the millions of illegals that are already here. Of
course, those folks don't affect wages because they're a 'mythical' supply.
When there is no competition for labor, why should anyone pay more than the
minimum?

It is not Bush's fault. The fault goes *both* to the unions and head
management. However, the fault goes mainly to management as they are the
ones who gave in to the demands of the unions.

Look at the new CEO of Ford. He took over in September '06 and after one of
the worse years Ford ever had he was *rewarded* with over $30 million in
salary, bonus and stock options for those blundered 3 months of work.

No wonder the Big 3 is going bust.
