Re: Immigration reform

I completely agree with you on that one. We had 100,000 troops, hundreds of airplanes, drones, armored vehicles, and outposts in Afghanistan and we couldn't protect their northern border but somehow...

Re: Immigration reform

Re: Immigration reform

I'm going to have to agree with Bob except I don't even think it should be a criminal suit. A civil suit with a hefty enough fine that hurts the company more in the pocket book than it would have if...

Re: Immigration reform

In the 1950's and early 1960's usually only the father and possibly his adult son came to the US to do seasonal work and returned home following the season knowing that he would be able to return the...

Re: Immigration reform

That makes a little more sense but I have doubts that will even work. If the unemployment rate gets down to 4%, that is considered full employment where the 4% primarily includes people changing jobs...

Re: Immigration reform

Re: Immigration reform

The Irish weren't undocumented but Americans blamed them for their problems since they were willing to work for less than Americans. Then of course there were the Chinese that everybody blamed. Many...
