Ooops - my mistake. As for the border being secured, that will never happen. Never. Part of the problem is that agribiz and the hospitality industry both take full advantage of undocumented workers, so on the one hand, they join the "patriots" and call for secure borders, while on the other hand, they ensure that corporate profits soar, on the backs of illegal labor. Hypocritical BS, which both political parties are well aware of. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <mdixon.6569@...> wrote :
25 Million? Please, Reagan granted amnesty to 2 million under the condition that the border would be secured, which was never done under a democrat lead house( Speaker Tip O'neal). That is why conservatives demand a secure border *before* any talk of amnesty. If you can't secure the border, it becomes a revolving door. Once you grant amnesty to those here illegally, their families rush the border to be the next to get amnesty and the beat goes on. From: "fleetwood_macncheese@...

Kos is apparently not liberal enough or not too smart about economics. Randi Rhodes (now retired) used point that out all the time and I've been saying it for years. Maybe it sounds "too conspiratorial." > Non sequitur. It's all about the economy and whether or not you have a job and a 401k. The US does not have a shortage of workers. It has a shortage of jobs - that's the important issue - the people have spoken. "The irresponsible immigration policy has created a surplus of workers. Illegal alien amnesty will make that surplus much worse. Legalize twelve million illegal aliens and another twelve million will come." http://tinyurl.com/qekqbeb http://tinyurl.com/qekqbeb > On 11/15/2014 12:48 PM, TurquoiseBee turquoiseb@... mailto:turquoiseb@...
