ANY BLUE collar people out here, that can help me?------------------------------------------------------------ What, What do I do now?
When I was a young man I was lost with no direction and a began my career as a carpenter. and after awhile I enjoyed being a carpenter and when I started bidding on my own projects I was constently being underbidded by the new influx of Hispanics arriving from South America ( 1996- 1999)
So I got out of the business that I liked and started driving a truck. I enjoyed this job too. and now I work tempararly overseas for the Army. but when I go home What will I do? My idea was to buy my own truck and be my own Owner-operator. But now they are allowing Mexican companies to haul freight in the US so I feel that it would be stupid to buy a tractor if the rates are going to be pushed down. I am so worried that I will be "just" a low paid company driver for the rest of my life. OKay people shoot me with your best arrows -

I would look into drug dealing. The Mexicans will be bringing in so much Meth,Weed and Coke that they are bound to need distributors. Just make sure you can trade your time for a Mexican drug runner.

The problem will get worse with the NAFTA Superhighway.

Tancredo, Ron Paul, and Hunter have the most conservative voting records on immigration.

Of these three, Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the Primary election.
Paul's campaign has almost 5 times as much money to spend as Tancredo.

Perhaps you should put your resume in at various trade schools, carpentry and trucking. There's a high shortage of instructors right now. The pay isn't good, but the benefits do make up for it.
