Immigration - July 2006

A tradable is a product that can be bought easily from some other country. For example, a pair of scissors is a tradable, a haircut however is a non-tradable, no matter how cheap they may be in China, you'll have to pay local rates. Therefore, tradable prices are limited to international prices whereas nontradables aren't.

The reason I ask is that, if wages were to go up in tradable productive chains, part or the whole those productive chain COULD be outsourced, causing the loss of jobs in the US. That seems to be a reason why business would be against changing anything (amnisty would mean higher wages too). If, on the other hand, they are mainly on nontradable, all that will happen is a little inflation.

Keep in mind that the tradable industry is much less visible than non-tradable because you see a guy mowing lawn, or working on a house, but not working at a steel mill.

So, does anyone have numbers on this? No opinions or rants, please.

House Bill 3588:

"...the commission has the same powers and duties relating to the condemnation and acquisition of real property for a facility of the Trans-Texas Corridor that the commission and the department have relating to the condemnation or purchase of real property..." [Sec. 227.041(a)] A facility includes a turnpike project. The commission is empowered to take land whenever the owner refuses to sell or they cannot agree on a price for the property.

and have rarely used the "race card" in support of my views...BUT....I am told time and time again "I DO".

Illegal immigration is SUCH an important issue I feel "violated" when anyone (either side) uses race as a factor.........so my question FINALLY.......do you think people who have valid concerns about illegal immigration use the race card? and if you answer YES......please explain how?

I went to the races and the only ones that were allowed to race were the guys with race cars! Can you imagine how intolerant, and non-inclusive that was? Man how RACIST (get it they were racing) can you get!
I wanted to race, but NOOOOOO!

Anyway like it or not, everyone, the people of the United States of America did not choose the ethnic makeup of the law breakers. WE DID MAKE THE LAWS, THOUGH!
So, even if every criminal was of a certain ethnic group, it would not and could not be racist to want law breakers caught, because it does not say that BEING of that ethnicity is THE CRIME!!!

I Personally don't feel that the problem is immigration, I feel that it is the Government's lack of inforcing the laws we have, so what do we need with more laws?

I was wondering how one DOES go about getting the "JOB" of selling fruit at stop lights? I lived in California and Arizona and NEVER saw a want add for that.

I can imagine it, though:

WANTED: persons to fill high risk, low-to-no existant paying 'job'.
no experience needed. Please supply your own plastic bags and sunscreen.
Sorry this is in english so you probably cannot read the ad never mind.

I am tired of hearing that this is a "JOB"!
is the guy that wants to wash windows at the stoplight doing a "JOB"?

no.
and there are not too many of these people to be used EVERY EFFING TIME to (sob) convince (sob) me (sob sob) of the 'plight' of the illegal!

Police catch criminals does that make the job of policeman a racist activity?


See I do not, I REALLY do not understand how anyone can be a truthful, honest person and slander those who are anti-crime with the label of racist.

Well I guess the correct response would be that the pro-crime group, the ones that want the illegals to stay, must be unpatriotic, UNAMERICAN, TRAITORS and co-conspiritors in an ongoing criminal enterprise right?

It is like this:
If one guy hits you in the arm, it hurts a bit, not much, just a bit.
It is Misdemeanor. No big deal, right?
Well, if 12 million guys hit you in my arm, it would fall of and I would die and it would be murder.

None of them did something too terrible as single individual acts, but collectively, they do terrible things like locusts devouring the land.
Or we can just keep calling each other names. IT worked so well in kindergarten, Why not use it as our official diplomatic routine?

I do not want an ugly fence streching the length of the Mexican-American border!
AT least no a big 50ft. tall one.
Why not build a HUGE superslide!
One with water!
100 ft tall and the only stairs ar on our side and there would be a couple tunnels ever 75 miles or so!

The illegals try to get in and have a REALLY goo time trying, but in the end, they can't and even if they could, they would be so tired and sunburned, that all they would want to do is go home and sleep.
Makes ME want to move to the border. How about you?

Doesn't It Stand To Reason That
The Race Card Is A MOOT Point?

There Are MILLIONS Of People In This Nation
From HUNDREDS Of Nations

The MAJORITY Of The FOREIGN BORN POPULATION
Of LAW ABIDING Immigrants In The USA
Are Native To Latin American (Hispanic)Nations

How Can The ILLEGAL Aliens
And Their Supporters
Claim With A Straight Face While Pointing At Us
That We Are RACISTS

In Our Fight For LAW ENFORCEMENT
The Arena Of ILLEGAL Immigration
Crosses The Line In MANY Areas

--Criminal Tresspass
--Use Of ILLEGAL Documents
--TAX EVASION
Just To Name A Few

My Question

Where Is The Justification For Playing The RACE CARD??

1. We make it easier for them to come in through the Borders from Mexico. Here We Finger Print them and and Charge them 1 to 3 Thousand dollars to come in to the U.S. to work. This is a lot safer and maybe cheaper than what they pay the Coyotes.

2. Then when they come in give them a Work Permit or something simmilar, and as long as they are living here they pay taxes. If they are not working for a couple of months, then when they are caught send them back.

I'm jsut trying to come up with more practical solutions, instead of complaining about it. What are your thoughts?

I think personally that the illegal's are taking away rights and priviledges away from the legal alien such that legal process for getting people here legally would slow down considerably. There cannot be too many people inside a house already fully occupied. So those who applied legally and their parents will have to stay overseas 15 to 20 more years. Because of illegals it is hard nowadays to get a family member even tough you have US citizenship. Today the illegals are asking for amnesty and tommorrow they will fire the legal alien from their job once they get their legal documents.

I have talked to alot of people and they seem to be scared... I guess since Mexico is so corrupt they think it will become
the same way here in the future the way is going..but i believe it's the goverment not the people .. if the people were corrupt they would have stayed and would not need to come here..but they come because they are not corrupt and don't agree with what goes on in Mexico so if they don't agree they would be poor their is hardly any decent jobs that pay good in order to support there families...This is what i have heard but i have never been to Mexico..That i will admit I am a scary cat so i won't go because of all the kidnaps and vilonce ..you can't even trust the police..No ofense to the Mexicans I support all of you nice,hardworking people is just that your goverment sucks.. So i do believe we should support all the illegals that are here to work and better them self..and give them legal status and the ones that are criminals well the same as we would with criminals here.. But there is nothing wrong with providing them legal status..It would be much better they will have the same right as us and if someone commits a crime they will be arrested ..It would be worst if they commit a crime with out no pappers then how could the police track them..Think about it.plus why make them live in mexico with all that vilonce if they are here is because they want a better life and a safer place to live in..so what makes you think they want to change America ..They don't...

I asked this Question earlier.. Hoping now to get a lil more responses...

...Could it be that illegals don't want a felony on their record for the fact that.. when they finally do become citizens, they will not be able to vote for their hispanic/ latino leaders....

which in return would lead them no where?

And.. if our govt.. is not enforcing our Constitution, wouldn't you say that that alone is fraudulent enough for them to be tried and convicted in the court of law?.. Imprissoned and sentenced for a very very long time?

...I'd really like to know what others view on these 2 topics...

Thank you Much

Is it because 12 million ILLEGAL immigrants were able to sneak through our borders underneath all our eyes and he just let it happen.That's why i vote for him he has the power to do something but he won't why? Because he know that the illegal Mexicans are wonderful people that come here to work and not to scare your racist A** ..He will problaly pretend he is doing something to send them back but is only to keep you calm..He isn't going to do something.. if he wanted he could have a long time ago..so don't be mad it was our president who decided this and we should accept it and get over it..GO BUSH.
