Actually Rod from what I read about the Swift + Co, everyone of those illegals was assuming someone else’s identity. Swift and Co, hired only aliens that could prove a social securtiy number. So all of those taxes were still being paid.

I won’t disagree with your last paragraph. With Senator’s like Linc Chafee, who needs a Democratic party. – Lorica

I was blessed to have been created in the USA, and although I can gripe with the rest of you guys and gals, I will always vote with my feet, which somehow never venture for extended periods from US soil. Happy New Year Everybody 2007! They have already celebrated in Guam!

American with jobs are scared sh*tless about losing them. Swift + Co is a case in point. Assuming the liberal I voted for is honest 12,000,000 American have lost jobs to criminal aliens since 01! And more will see an illegal get their job at a rate near 2,000,000 a year – again using Bush’s #’s. If you work for a company of any size there is a good chance you will lose your job to someone for whom your employer pays no: unimployment tax, Social Sec tax, disability tax, Medicare tax, ….; and has a net cost to the employer of 40% to 50% less (depending on state tax rates) because of no taxes.
In other words – if the lefty in the White House is not puffing up his #’s to get approval for his pardon of criminal aliens and those who employ them – about 12% of our (American) jobs are held by those like the 911 hijackers, here illegally!
Only a far left liberal could be happy about American jobs going to illegal aliens! Most Americans are conservative. That is why the 21 new Reagan men in Congress are all Democrats. Reagan men did not leave the jGOP the GOP left the conservatives!

The closer things get to perfection, the more anger there seems to be at the remaining gaps. There are a lot more people upset about air pollution today than there were when coal-fired factory with no filtration almost on every corner.

Walter M Miller characterized the human race thusly:

“…children of Merlin, chasing a gleam. Children, too, of Eve, forever buiding Edens–and kicking them apart in berserk fury because somehow it isn’t the same.”
