Since 2006 the liberals have had the marbles (House and Senate domination) and the economy started going down the tubes after that. You know it and I know it. Look at the threads on these very forums. Many still don't want anything done about it. When it is an obvious problem, they say it's not.

I'll be honest, I'd really gain some serious respect for your party if they did.

even a coward should be able to see the problem here ..

Get ready because I am fairly sure that illegal immigration is next on President Obama's agenda

.....our border patrol has been ordered not to stop them again or lose your job. 500,000 crossed since Jan. 1

and they get preferential treatment in schools jobs home loans . they can 100%loan to buy farms here and the government well paid for all equipment they need to operate them

but you white folks CAN,T .. act now to stop them don,t let up on the government vote them out if they say they are going to vote for amnesty . when the illegals are gone there are still 15 ,000,000 here legally . and they can ask for permission to migrate here but we really don,t have a big need for illiterates here right now .

So Earl, do you know what his plan is for illegal immigration? Frankly I think this should have been at the top of his "to do" list.

No I don't understand why but he has not consulted me, yet.

But I am sure no matter how he wants to deal with illegal immigration the republicans will not support him.

Maybe he should do what the republican party did about health care and illegal immigration, nothing

People usually don't worry too much about stuff until it starts personally affecting them, unfortunetly, and now this is, so now would be the time to act.

Armed federal immigration agents have illegally pushed and shoved their way into homes in New York and New Jersey in hundreds of predawn raids that violated their own agency rules as well as the Constitution, according to a study to be released on Wednesday by the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law.

The study by the school’s Immigration Justice Law Clinic, backed by several law enforcement experts including Nassau County’s police commissioner, found a widespread pattern of misconduct by agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement after analyzing 700 arrest reports obtained from the agency through Freedom of Information lawsuits.

The raids were supposed to focus on dangerous criminals, but overwhelmingly netted Latinos with civil immigration violations who happened to be present, the study said. Raiders mistakenly held legal residents and citizens by force in their own homes while agents rummaged through drawers seeking incriminating documents, the report said.

Acting without judicial search warrants, the agents were required to obtain informed consent from a resident before they entered a private residence. But the study found that in 86 percent of the Nassau and Suffolk County arrest reports that it analyzed, and a quarter of the New Jersey cases, no consent was recorded.

Illegal workers: good for U.S. economy
The U.S. has benefited from illegal immigrants, most economists say, though some low-skilled workers have been hurt.

A crackdown in illegal immigration in 2004 caused a shortage of workers needed to bring in the lettuce crop in the Western United States, said Powell, which he said caused a $1 billion loss for the industry as many growers had to leave their fields unharvested.

"To hire Americans to do it, they would have had to raise wages so far, it wouldn't have been worth it for them," said Powell at the Independent Institute. "It caused less of a loss to leave the crop to rot."

As for complaints that many critics of immigration cite - demand for social and government services by immigrants - most economists believe that is outweighed by the increased economic activity, even if some specific school districts or public hospitals struggle with the costs associated serving the immigrant community.

you are one of the traitorous corporate sharks that have exported millions of good paying American jobs to countries where you can more easily exploit the workers by bribing the corrupt government officials

Whoa, slow down with the venom for a sec, and think about it. Our own government by allowing illegal aliens to work here is part of the direct cause of this. If Business A is trying to be legitimate and do things on the up and up, Business B is hiring illegals and paying them 30% to 50% less in wages, then he is going to put Business A OUT of business.

Illegals don't do much building according to what I read, they do the vegetable picking, janitorial work and in construction are mostly on the demolition and clean up crews. (message # 291)

Wow, those "illegal aliens," as you call them, must be very fast learners. I just checked this forum and I found that in message # 291, March 2008 you were saying that they weren't able to do much more than labor in agricultural, janitorial and contruction demolition companies.

Let's use the brain muscle here! Are you saying that the blue-collar and white-collar jobs that are being exported by the profit-hungry troglodites are jobs that the "illegal aliens" are performing for other corporations here in the USA? And that is the reason why the corporate traitors are exporting the American jobs to other countries?

If now you are saying that the "illegals" took the type of American jobs that the corporations unable to compete here in the USA exported to more friendly shores, then you would have to agree that those "illegals" aren't that illiterate like the brainless post in message # 356 says they are.

First off, when did I say they were illiterate?

you would have to agree that those "illegals" aren't that illiterate like the brainless post in message # 356 says they are.

To some extent, yep, I sure am. Not so much white collar, but yes, blue collar. I honestly don't think that many white collar jobs are going overseas, if they are, the ones working those jobs are probably going with them. Unfortunetly, if a comapny wants to stay legal, the overseas move is, but hiring illegals is not

U.S. Companies Defend Export of White-Collar Jobs: 'No God-Given Right'

WASHINGTON – Worried about possible government reaction to the movement of U.S. technology jobs overseas, leading American computer companies are defending recent shifts in employment to Asia and elsewhere as necessary for future profits and warning policy makers against restrictions.
"There is no job that is America's God-given right anymore," said Carly Fiorina, chief executive for Hewlett-Packard Co. "We have to compete for jobs."

In a report released Wednesday, the companies said government efforts to preserve American jobs through limits on overseas trade would backfire and "could lead to retaliation from our trading partners and even an all-out trade war."

So that won't work to put me in a defensive mood here.

However, I don't hear any voices coming from the right-wing, republican side calling for moderation in the discourse here. Someone has to tell those posters placing messages here only to express their hate that we know better, and that we will expose their ignorance and bad faith.

I hate to break the old news to you, but the off-shoring of American white-collar jobs has been a problem for a long while. It seems to me that you haven't been keeping an eye on the moves of the corporate sharks. Don't be surprised when you call the customer service department for your credit card company, and the person who answers speaks english with a heavy accent. If you ask, you would be surprised to know that you are talking to someone in India, or another country that welcomes the American jobs.

Seems to me that lower corporate taxes would tend to be an incentive to send more jobs offshore. See, taxes are paid on profits

And of course, lower corporate taxes ultimately destroys the infrastructure that makes the US worth doing business in - less help for the needy means more crime; less education funding means fewer qualified workers; less law enforcement in every field means more pollution, crime, fraud, etc; physical infrastructure falling apart.
