The subhead is much improved from the Mark Steyn juvenality! Land of the free and home of the brave indeed! That's something liberals and conservatives can agree on for sure.

As for fence building, you may want to consult news coverage of Iraq--even though we know the preznit doesnt' have time for such matters.

Seems the U.S. has had to build fences between ethnically cleansed neighborhoods in Baghdad to make sure they stay "clean."

Isn't it just so wonderful that we delivered the Iraqi people from their travails?

 

 

2 McLovin, this post has to do with illegal immigration rather than Iraq, although you think that everything has to do with Iraq.  Can you appreciate that our President deposed Iraq's dictator, who tortured and murdered his citizens?  Do you think that stopping the flood of illegal immigrants into our nation is important?

I'm a free-market capitalist, so I don't think the government should be in the business of telling businesses whom to hire based on nationality or other factors not related to performance.

Of course we need border security to keep out criminals and terrorists. Making it simple and legal to immigrate for economic reasons would make it much easier to effectively police the border against people trying to sneak in sans paperwork for reasons other than working for a living.

Anyone who understands how markets work will know that the real source of the problem is the unrealistic wage differentials between Mexico and the U.S. As long as this exists, there will be an illegal immigration problem. A simple, market-based solution is to more strictly enforce penalties on companies that refuse to pay market-based wages and, instead, employ illegals to avoid taxes and market-level wages.

Illegal immigration would stop tomorrow if businesses stopped hiring people at below-market wages to widen their own profit. Workers who come here illegally are simply trying to feed themselves and their families. It's morally wrong to target them as if they were the primary perpetrators of the problem.

It's also a fantastically stupid tactic. Long, repeated experience has proven beyond doubt that targetting workers is expensive, inefficient and ineffective. Deported workers quickly return and most are not caught in the first place as they find it easy to work illegally and to remain in hiding for very long periods.

Start deporting business owners who knowingly hire illegals tomorrow and illegal immigration will grind to a halt by this fall.

Anyone with at least two brain cells can figure our that the logical target of immigration law enforcement should be businesses, not workers. Cops target drug dealers, not users, for the same reason.

Which brings us to the question of why so many wingnuts refuse to take on the issue of illegal employers, preferring instead to focus on workers and building walls. What is their motive?

Mc:  "the real source of the problem is the unrealistic wage differentials between Mexico and the U.S."

The real source of the problem is corruption in Mexican government and lack of motivation by the U.S. government to keep out illegals--who, as the the definition implies, are criminals...regardless of need or intent.

I've always been for penalizing businesses for hiring illegals, and there is a law to do that but hasn't been enforced by either Democrats or Republicans.

 

5 This is a bit off topic but...

Would your “church,” if you fellowship with one, put on it’s bulletin board hateful articles from the anti-semitic, terrorist group Hamas? Barack Obama’s CURRENT church, Trinity United Church of Christ, did just that.

We just found out in the last 48 hours that Wright, while giving a eulogy in 2007, said that “(Jesus’) enemies had their opinion about Him… The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans.”

Now comes a report by NBC News that while Wright was in charge at Obama’s CURRENT church, reprinted anti-Israel writings, including one column by none other than Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, appeared on the bulletin board there.

The column by the Hamas leader, Mousa Abu Marzook, asked: “Why should any Palestinian recognise the monstrous crimes carried out by Israel’s founders and continued by its deformed modern apartheid state?”

The question becomes one of judgment, character, integrity, honesty and intelligence.

If I were to believe Obama’s defense that he didn’t, and still doesn’t, know what was, and still is, going on at his church for 20 years, then, in my opinion, he must not be very observant nor intelligent, and does not possess sensible judgement. Therefore he cannot be qualified to be the POTUS, in my opinion. If I do NOT believe Obama, then his integrity, character and honesty is woefully insufficient to be the POTUS, in my opinion.

Obama went to Harvard Law School (they don’t let just anybody in), where he became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. He graduated magna cum laude in 1991. Now do you think he is NOT aware of what his church and ex-pastor are all about? Be AFRAID! Be VERY AFRAID!

Barack Obama’s political FRAUD against the American People continues…

One great feature of having a super bright flashing lights or torch is that it will give bright light using simple AA batteries. The Emergency light will also run longer on these batteries than the regular strobe light. The lumens or bright light of police light is at ninety lumens.
