The proposal that was announced the day before we captured Saddam and it got sweeped under the rug finally sees the light again-- and pisses off Americans everywhere</div>

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Oh sure, send our jobs overseas, and what jobs cant be sent over, hire immigrants to work them. Thanks!</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Sure that was an exageration, but Im already pissed at all the call centers being sent overseas. Dell recently decided to cut 1300 jobs and move them overseas. Makes me glad I work in a company with a no layoff policy.</div>

[Derithian]

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>Dell brough t it back though because so many people were complaining. well everyone was complaining</div>

[Shellie]

<div style='font: 10pt georgia; text-align: left; '>Sorry, it was Earthlink, not Dell that recently did that. Theyre closing call centers.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't see what the big deal is. The jobs that the immigrants will be working are the ones that the actual citizens of the country refuse to work anyways.There are plenty of available jobs if you don't mind getting payed 7-8 bucks an hour to hold up a sign.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>i heard a stat on the radio that 40% of LEGAL Mexicans in our country are on one or more welfare systems, obviously there are not enough jobs and the solution to take my money doesnt sit well with me. Keep them out, we dont need more.</div>

[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Just because they're on welfare doesn't mean that they're jobless... It probably just means that the low-paying jobs they have can't pay the bills after they have kids.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>i still dont see how adding more to the equation will help things.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Let me guess: O'Reilly. Check out those stats before trusting them.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>:) Yes, i've admitted before that i listen to O'Reilly and this did come from him. Although i do trust the stats he spues, he refuses to say stuff unless there is backup. Like him, i'm an independant... i just lean right a little :)</div>

[Derithian]

<div style='font: italic bold 14pt ; text-align: center; '>calling him an independant is like calling Lieberman a Liberal. It;s nowhere even close to the truth. O'reily is an ultra conservative bag of wind and Lieberman makes Bush look like an ultra liberal.</div>

[Ishamael]

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>One of O'Reilly's lies. He's a registered Republican.</div>

[ManaMan]

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>His strategy (and the strategy of all of the rest of the NeoCon Fox News team) is to make the RIGHT look CENTRIST. This serves two purposes: 1- it makes the LEFT look like radicals 2- It makes FAR-RIGHT look more acceptable. Their theory is that if they keep telling you something (be it a lie or a half-truth) eventually it will become true (well, at least in your mind) and you will buy into their ideas and support the political views of their boss, Rupert Murdoch.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Are these "Mexicans" all unemployed? Because I was just talking to a friend of mine from Seatle who claims there are well over a million jobs available in the state of Washington.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Employment isnt the point. The point is that if your country had to help support 40% of its Mexican population (which is like 14% of the total US population...a lot) then you would be complaining too.</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I still find that stat mighty suspicious.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Employment is a huge factor. If they are employed and still strugle to survive (requiring additional financial assistance), then there is something wrong with the system, not the people. If the Mexicans were not doing that work, then who would be doing it?</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Actually, the reason I knew it was O'Reilly was that I heard him use it on his show, and I think he just said "legal immigrants," not "legal Mexican immigrants."</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Who gives a crap what you find suspicious.</div>

[Julius Seeker]

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Your point?</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Other immigrants.</div>

[Flip]

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>If there werent so many Mexicans to fill those jobs then perhaps the employers would have to *gasp* start to pay people more to get employees to do the jobs!</div>

[Ishamael]

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Yep.</div>

[Ishamael]

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>I don't know that it's because people refuse to work them, so much as the employers who hire them can afford to pay them less than minimum wage and oftentimes, keep all the money exchange off the books.</div>

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>I don't know that it's because US citizens refuse to work them, so much as the employers who hire immigrant often get away with paying them less than minimum wage and often times, keep all the money exchange off the books.</div>
