People CARED if their slaves got sick. Rhetorically, "How is YOUR Company provided health coverage?"

Rhetorically, "How is YOUR Company provided health coverage?" farglebargle: If you mean cared in the same sense that they cared about the health of their livestock you are absolutely correct. My health care is provided for by the VA and until bush & co. cancel or curtail any aspect of it I am reasonably secure on that front. I do not know if you noticed but virtually on the eve of the invasion of Iraq bush & co sought legislation to reduce veterans access to the VA but as soon as word of it leaked out it was immediately withdrawn. I do not doubt that it will be reintroduced at a moment when they feel they can slip it through. I found it interesting that the dems did not make an issue of it. Which only tends to reinforce my opinion that there is little difference between the two parties and that the only thing being contested is who is incharge and not the goals. thompson

quote: ORIGINAL: Real0ne quote: ORIGINAL: cyberdude611 What are you reading??? Im confused of what exactly your trying to say. Are you saying that illegal drugs are not coming across the border? Are you saying that illegal aliens flooding in this nation by the millions per year is a good thing? Are you saying that there are no drug cartels operating on the US-Mexican border and that they don't have weapons? Are you saying that you never read that President Bush has ordered the national guard troops on the border to never open fired even if fired upon? Again, what garbage are you reading? Because whatever it is, they are as clueless of what is going on in this nation as the Bush administration. I know people who are on the border, trust me, the situation on that border well out of control. As one sheriff in Texas put it..."It's a war zone. We've got level three body armor. They've got level four. We've got cell phones. They've got satellite cell phones that we can't tap into. And we are outgunned." And our federal government doesn't give a damn. http://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/International/story?id=1477964 http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20050818/a_mexico18.art.htm http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1136921,00.html i have a question; why? The government doesnt do anything without a reason. What purpose would letting them in serve? Create a situation of lawlessness maybe? Flood the workforce? RealOne? Bingo! I hope one day we will know why the government is basically doing NOTHING, if anything encouraging them. What is the purpose here? Creating lawlessness? Flooding the workforce? Soon Americans will have to leave the country to find jobs, mark my words here.

Thompson ... you are totally drama-ramma on this issue. Shout slave enough, and people may believe it. BUT ... you know very well that the temporary or guest worker program provides for standardized wages, and gived a fiduciary responsibility to the corporation that is issued the TWP. These corporations even have to pay the employer side of the taxes on these wages ... something they aren't doing now. To suggest that this program is something that supports big business, is unrealistic. Nobody wants this program to tank, more than businesses that are currently abusing the laws already on the books. If you don't know these things, perhaps posting in this thread isn't a good play. [:D]

All right pahunkboy, you just PISSED ME THE FUCK OFF. Look, I'm a military brat. My father and mother both served (hell Mom's STILL serving). You wanna know why they protect your dumb ass? So America can be a free country. And more then for JUST Americans. I'm all for people coming into our country. But they have to do it legally and I will gladly move my ass over to make room for 'em. I DO think we should have a fence. I DO think we should focus more on ourselves. HOWEVER, we have soldiers, Marines, flyboys & squids dying over in Iraq. So, for NOW we focus on where our casualties are the highest. And he was shot in the left buttock you ass. -One Pissed Off Wyld

In the grocer checkout- I dont cut in front of people. I wait my turn. Military brat? I commend your kin who served my country. Incedently- I come from a family who served as well. I prefer not to boast about it. My sister served in the Army. I served in Americore. Older family members were high ranking and earned metals. Be that as it may, WHY cant Mexico make Mexico a nice place to live? Why? PS- someone finally noticed my azzz!! yehaaaaaaaa! ;-0~~

What is the OP's topic about? I tend to forget after all this.

You all have to remember that all Mexicans are not this way. Looks like the bad on both side came out here. All we can do is hope and pray that we survive until George gets out. SCD

I invented tampons and wrote most of the songs for Springsteen's "Born to Run" album...My grand father invented cooking oil as well as submarines. My own father is responsible for advising Kennedy during the Cuban missile crisis...and thereby avoiding a war with the Soviets. Many of the people who post here make ludicrous statements and then are asked for some form of validation....and never produce it....But keep on spewing their b.s. unquestioned. Just stand your backs against the wall and the one who pisses the farthest wins....I read through some of this thread...and there are some complete boneheads who participate whose logic or lack there of is simply astounding.

quote: ORIGINAL: cyberdude611 These two border guards will not be pardoned no matter how much the people cry. The federal government is trying to send a message to the border patrol that if you do anything to stop the flow of drugs or illegals into the United States, you will do hard time in federal prison. Homeland Security intentionally lied during the trial of these two guards. At least a few jurors now publically claim they were pressured to give a guilty verdict. That trial was a farce! There are a number of congressmen, in the President's own party, that says they will call for impeachment hearings against Bush and administration officials if either of these border guards are killed in prison. How about this one. Where is the source for this? Please respond.

But remember, slaves in the pre civil war period were beaten, which affected their productivity, legal, had to work manually where now there are quite a few machines to enhance prodution, and were restricted in what they can do. But under the proposals of Bush, they would not be illegal, be guaranteed certain rights not granted to law breakers, and provided protections against the abuse. How do you reconcile this in your economic slavery scenario?

It to had promised competitive wages and took out taxes etc. fiduciary responsibility was given to the growers. They even took out 10% of the workers wages for a retirement program. When it ended there was no money in the retirement fund. The growers claim it was stolen by the mexican government but there is no paper trail from the growers to the mexican government. This fund amounted to billions of dollars. Now it appears they have a chance to do it again. Why would they be against it. By what afflatus do you know what I do or do not know? You can call it drama all you wish but do the math. How does my previous post fail in its assertions? thompson
