The more money a corporation can make the better for our economy through jobs creation and increased spending as a spin-off from that. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Ideally, but that's not happening. The jobs are going out of the country to more cheap labor.

The only problem I see with corporations making money with cheap labor is the burden placed on our welfare system and that burden indirectly subsidizing corporations. That part I don't like because schools and social services IMHO should be reserved for US citizens only. The more money a corporation can make the better for our economy through jobs creation and increased spending as a spin-off from that. Far be it from me to tell someone or an entity how much money it can or can not make.&... [ More ]

I'm not against building the fence to protecting our borders. They need to protect more than the Mexican border. And the reason Washington haven't honestly addressed ENFORCEMENT is because they never wanted to and still don't. Corporations are making too much money paying for cheap labor. And they will continue to do so.

Anyone who says we don't need a fence is proving their ignorance of what the border is like down there. Anyone who says that just getting the businesses to stop hiring illegals hasn't a clue, and has not spent the time to learn from history. The real problem that has plagued Washington for so many decades is that they never honestly address the issue of ENFORCEMENT. To all of you soft-in-the-middle people who have this strange aversion to building a fence (you know who you are), I have ... [ More ]

Before the advent of instantaneous communication, telephone, internet, etc., labor unions were necessary for a lesser educated lesser informed society. They have outlived their usefulness and will be the death knell of all US manufacturing. Look at Ford, GM and Chrysler barley afloat because about 40% of their costs are worker benefits tacked onto selling prices due to union mandated worker costs and they're not able to compete with foreign made autos. Who did it to the US worker? The unions... [ More ]

Labor unions which are heavily Democrat have forced businesses to move offshore. Attorneys for the most part support the Democratic party because they're allowed to proceed with class action lawsuits which have broken the backs of many US corporations, making themselves very rich. _________________________________________________________________________________________ I think these are excuses to defend and support a party. When I read about labor unions, they seem to me to be very very n... [ More ]

the thing that scares me is this.mexicans just surpassed blacks as the leading minority in this country.i think 13 percent of america is mexican now.another 12 percent slice is blacks.then you count you asian,indian,etc. by the time my kids are old enough to drink here in about twenty years they are saying that whites will be the minority.something about the minorities having more babies and a lot of mixed children coming along.i never dreamed i would be a minority........

I believe their concern about massive deportation is riots and all that entails. My concern too. Hey if they came here breaking the law what's to stop them from going all out and erupting in the likes of which we've not seen in our lifetimes (God forbid), then there would literally be hell to pay. Documentation in whatever form it entails has to be paralleled with closing the border. If our legislators had any guts they'd repeal the Constitutional amendment which guarantees citizensh...

A fence never stopped a criminal...The main problem is our own government has put out the message that although it is a crime to enter the USA illegally, we won't do anything about it. Infact we'll reward you for it! We'll even be on your side and encourage you to come on over! The message is what needs to be changed. They keeps saying we can't deport 10-12 million people it's just not going to happen, when infact they mean, we won't deport 10-12 million people, so don't even mention it! We ha... [ More ]

The government is boiling down to socialists versus capitalists .... Democrats having sold their soul completely to socialists. I'm old enough to have witnessed the transition. Former Governor and Senator Zell Miller, Democrat said that the party left him, he did not leave the party. He campaigned for President Bush's re-election and is the voice on a campaign commercial for re-election of (R) Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue. Democrats have George Soros and Moveon.org orchest...

Maybe the Democrats know that the fence is just a facade to cover up the corruption in Congress and the White House with this issue. The fence and the 6000 troops in my opinion is just a Bandaid. A way of saying "Look we are doing something drastic" when the real causes and clandestine reasons are covered up and the real problem is not even touched on. It doesn't pull anything up by the roots. It's what I heard one Democrat say, when a water pipe burst in your house, you don't set up bar... [ More ]

Original Blog Entry: "Who Voted Against the Fence?

Directly quoted from Powerlineblog.com about the US Senate vote yesterday.

http://powerlineblog.com/ for more discussion on the matter.

"Who Voted Against the Fence?

This is the list--all Democrats:

Akaka (D-HI)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Dodd (D-CT)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Inouye (D-HI)
Jeffords (I-VT)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Lieberman (D-CT)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Murray (D-WA)
Obama (D-IL)
Reed (D-RI)
Sarbanes (D-MD)

You have to give Bingaman credit for courage, I guess. The Senators next closest to the border who voted against the fence are from Washington and Illinois.
