Immigration - August 2006

Two things...

1) Is our government-- that is the United States government corrupt and behind a conspiracy?

2) This conspiracy is not even supporting illegals-- it's down right criticizing them. Pros' and illegals alike can be easily persuaded that the government is favoring them--

However, anybody that has their head on straight can see that this clearly isn't whats happening. Instead, they are looking down on illegals. The only ones to benefit from this, are the rich, while the poor becomes poorer, and the middle class pays higher taxes, and increases their workload for less profit.

Illegals could be able to work at higher wages-- is it that they're not wanting the hassle, or is it that some of these people really don't want to be apart of America?

If my Revolution did happen, and we waged war against our politicians or the govt. for being corrupt, and won-- could we then go about charges for each and sentencing them?

I would think so... why not? Wouldn't you?

MYTH
Undocumented immigrants “steal” jobs from U.S.-born workers--particularly from low-income and Black workers.
“[T]here are between 7 and 15 million working illegal immigrants diluting our labor pool. If illegal immigrants could no longer work, unions would flourish, the minimum wage would rise, and oligarchic nations to our south would have to confront and fix their corrupt ways.”
--Thom Hartmann, Common Dreams, March 29, 2006

FACT
Wages are kept low not by undocumented immigrants, but by corporations that have carried out a one-side war on U.S. workers since the 1970s.

Liberals like Hartmann who accept the idea that undocumented immigrants are the cause of low wages are doing a disservice to the fight for better jobs. They are setting undocumented immigrants against other groups of workers--and in pursuit of an argument that is simply not true.

According to an analysis of data from the 2000 Census by the American Immigration Law Foundation, employment in about one-third of all U.S. job categories would have contracted anyway during the 1990s without recently arrived, noncitizen immigrant workers--even if all unemployed U.S.-born workers with recent job experience in those categories had been reemployed.

According to a November report in USA Today, job and wage growth in 10 U.S. inner cities with high immigrant populations outpaced job and wage growth in their broader metropolitan statistical areas.

It’s true that immigrants--in particular, undocumented immigrants--tend to earn considerably less than working U.S. citizens. However, according to a 2004 study by the Urban Policy Institute, undocumented workers make up less than 10 percent of the 43 million low-wage workers in the United States.

The idea that 4 million undocumented workers are somehow responsible for keeping down the wages of the other 39 million low-wage workers is nonsensical--and only pits groups of workers against each other.

This claim also ignores the fact that immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are helping take the lead in one of the most important things that can actually raise wages for all low-wage workers--building a stronger union movement.

I just asked a question a minute ago concerning a basic question----> (below)

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjxVhEbMpNDjQffan7En_Yzsy6IX?qid=20060817154510AATAPuL

How come all the pro-illegals will answer a question titled,

"An Easy, Simple, Basic, 101 Question!!?,"

but not any other question that requests some type of solid answer supported by meaningful logic?

And if they do, they'll refer to race or how Americans won't do "those" jobs, etc...

Please, I'd really like to know? And don't give me BS/ Hogwash rhetoric!

I was just watching her on the news and she said some really wacko stuff... like:

"Why don't we just get rid of the IRS - no taxes at all!!!"
(yeah, cuz we don't need to fix anything after a hurricane...)

And: "I want to get rid of Castro's horrible regime."
(Then dear, it isn't the USA that you need to be running for Senate in... go back to Cuba if Americans are not your #1 priority...)

Any other folks have an opinion on her?

ethnicity, not nationality.
I'm Argentiean with Spanish roots and French, living in NYC, United States.


just curious to see, because i think a persons background really reflects their views on, well everything really, but most definitly immigration.

is that because your illegal buddies are leaving soon and they won't be here to clean your toliet for a sandwich?

That could be the only reason you would have to support these criminal invaders.

I'm going to make a new party--- it is not below, to the side, or where the independent party sits... Mine is above the left and right, and sits to the left (to the left, only because the heart is on the left)

--Believe me, if I could move a heart to the right-- I would, just so I wouldn't be labeled a Liberal!!

But anyway, my new party is called the, "Patriots."

And, if amnesty shall be granted to the criminals, I will publicly demonstrate the same-- and slap it in the face of America-- not the land, but it's leaders!

And, I suggest the true Patriots lock' n load, because it won't be pretty when 200 million strong wage a revolution against our own. Mexico may defend the "politicians" but would our military actually commit genocide?

Would the rest of the world show smypothy for the U.S.'s leaders? I think not... and I'm willing to bet my life on it-- that, we'd put our leaders in check!

Would you vote to give Illegal Anchor babies citizenship? I see where the lady in Chicago is Allready going to court in an attempt to use her KID as an Anchor. The ILLEGALS exploit this GIANT LoopHole and we need to close it Now.

Do your homework before you do the neighbor! Just because that kid was born here by an illegal doesn't make that kid a citizen! It's a myth!

The illegals go where it is good and destroy it. The Americans leave it to them and move on. Who would want to live in a wet infested trashed out gang infested town? It happens every time! If you have anything negitive to say, Tell me a town in America that doesn't have these conditions due to illegal invasion and I'll check it out and post it later! Be honest or don't bother!

Worry about who is in your country to kill, to crash planes full of people, and I'm sure you never heard of a mexican involved in a terrorist attack, have you? Most of them, are there to work searching for a better life, and they are no CRIMINALS!!! And for your imformation they are not legal there, because your government do not allow them to be... If it wasn't so hard, they would be legal, and treated respectfully!!!! I'm not defeding the mexican people, I'm not even fron Mesico and I don't even speak spanish... And don't say I'm generalizing, I'm talking about the ones who call the illegal mexicans "criminal"!!! Being In the US illegally is agaisnt the law, but it not worse than crashing a plane full of people into a building!!! Focus on the terrorism to avoid your kids from being in their dangerous country, wondering what is gonna fall from the sky this time!!!!! think about that, most of mexicans, can't even write their names, they shouldn't be considered criminals!!!

Every night i sit down to enjoy a news broadcast and the first thing they say just about every night is "2 hispanic suspects..." , "3 black suspects..." "The Latino suspect..." , its an never eanding thing , a couple weeks ago a asian kid walks down the street , knocks on the door , a white kid answers and he shoots him 3 times , last week 3 mexican teenagers sniper a 13 yr old mexican kid off the front porch of his apartment , today , the cops check out a suspicious 18-wheeler thats been parked in a neighborhood , theres 3 kids ages 8-12 inside , said theyve been in there for several days , had one coca-cola to share , they find their father down the street at a crack house , that BARELY scratches the surface , and you wonder why all the people like me feel the way we do about people , and trust me , their are many more that think the same way that just dont voice it , 90% of the bad things that come across the news has been done by minorites and personally im sick of it
