I mean heck...we're the backbone of this country aren't we? Where would they be without US? So why do they pander to business's that promote illegal immigration?

Because the little guy won't bribe them. Special interest will.

I knew we'd find something to agree about tonight.
Is an illegal going to take my job? Nope.
At the end of the day, tho, what pisses me off the MOST about illegal immigration....is the negative impact on the most vulnerable Americans and the dwindling middle class through flooding the lower end labor market and depressing wages.
Do illegal aliens really impact my life style? Probably not much. It's more an issue of impacting the environment in which I live, and the communities in which I interact. I'd still pay the same taxes is my guess--but at least MORE of them would hopefully go to Americans.
But am I ticked off at their drain on the infrastructure? YOU BET.
Am I pissed off that illegal aliens can get "in state" tuition rates.....but a military service man/woman/offspring CANT when they are transferred to a new state? YOU BET.
DO I think our gov't lack of appropriate attention is totally driven by pandering to big business? No it is multifactorial, huge and complex. But nonetheless, I'm also sure it is a marked piece of it. Absolutely.
And I'm pro business, no question. Just not pro illegal aliens!

Politicians have historically always destroyed the middle small holder class, so that their economic allies could sup up the chaos that is left over. This is not new. And we will have to do what other did to stop it: Civil Disorder!! The politician must be slapped back into reality, else all is lost. IT is the only way to stop this process, without it we are doomed to be just as poor as the mexican serfs that are here for the profit of the politicians allies in business.

There was a time when most of them did care about us but, it seems like a long time ago! When companies started to leave this country & our decent jobs were sent out of the country, things began to change. Now it seems that we are just a burden to them, something that they wish would just go away! They want our youth to fight & die for them to profit, but when they return, they don't even want to give them decent medical care! We need to stop buying the things that are made out of this country, the things that have taken our good jobs & left us with Wal-Mart as an employer!
We need some decent representation by those we elect in order to get things turned around. Some people seem to think that by electing the person who has amassed the largest campaign chest is the one that is going to do it for us, do you? No, I think it is one who had to take student loans & repay them by their own labor, that would be someone who just might be a better prospect for change. They at least know what it is like to have to work for things to get better & we can't work to make things better with all the good jobs gone!

They pander to business and special interest for both votes and campaign contributions. We need to seriously fix some broken area's in our election process.

Follow the money. Big Business PAYS our Reps not to enforce immigration laws and secure the border.

I don't know what you mean, I got a raise this year and it only took ten years. Take care.

That would be nice, but they always have and always will pander to whoever lines their pockets.
