A lot of what these politicians do these days is VERY hard for the general public to access, even though it's supposed to be available because it's a matter of public record.

I just heard about the "FENCE" they want to put up, 700 miles at $70 million A MILE! The one San Diego out up cost $1 mil a mile. The guy resonsible for that was all freaked out saying that even the $1 mil was way to much.

Now I find it kinda ironic that some of the BIGGEST proponents of hard borders are Americans of Mexican descent. BTW, if ya want to be truely PC, that is the way it sould be called, AMERICAN of whatever descent, not the other way around. That's what started screwing things up IMHO.

Again IMHO (uh oh, soapbox time), I think that the US's GREATEST asset is the influx of LEGAL immigrants. Fresh blood, fresh ideas. People that WANT to be here and WANT to contribute. There are others, both legal and not that just want to get in, get what they can, and get out. That's okay too, as long as they contribute while they're here, and I don't mean as cheap labor.

Chicago used to be, and to some extent now, a BIG union town. In the past, the unions WERE needed, but now, they're mostly just another tool of management. In other words, they sold out. Still, it protected the workers from substandard practices.

Some of you are aware of Illinoisssss's past govenor going to jail for 6 years. What brought that on was an accident. An illegal was driving a semi dump, for minimum wage, with bogus papers. The owner of the company KNEW this, because union rate is $19.00+ an hour, and he's payin this guy $6.00 an hour.

The owner of that company is what used to be called a CARPET BAGGER. Get in as cheaply as possible and milk it for all you can get. Bogus drivers, bogus rigs. Well, a part of that rig fell off, killing a bunch of little kids in a mini van. THEY BURNT TO DEATH!

The DMV had sold CDL's to people they knew were bogus, and the gov used to be in charge of the DMV, and knew what was going on as he got a cut of the take. He got off to easy, and the carpet bagger skipped (encapsulated version).

Now the Republicians want this cheap labor force so they can make more money, and the Democrats are bleeding hearts that don't want to offend anybody. So where does that leave us regular folk?

Yeah, there's all these jobs out there now, but they don't pay enough to support a family so ya NEED to work 2 or 3 different jobs.

Back when I had my dog training business and I'd take on a new person, I started them at $10.00 an hour. They didn't know anything and I would train them. This was in the 70's and 80's. Now ya got folk drivin big rigs for $6.25 an hour, while his boss is taking home 6 figures. That's just insane. And I don't EVEN want to start about SS and disability. ARG!

Later
