Rig--


"Illegal aliens were doing it so cheaply...."    Exactly. I don't think anybody is in favor of illegal immigration--including the illegal immigrants themselves.

That's why legal immigration should be expanded--dramatically. Yet, as I said, I don't think I've heard Tancredo et al. push for this.   They seem to be operating in a neverland where you can "close the borders". Face it--ain't gonna happen. If there are better jobs here than at home, immigrants will come--one way or the other.

"Ilegals were working for wages that wouldn't allow for progress". A bit biased but I take your point. Solution: same thing--cut down on illegal immigration by expanding legal immigration---and by a large increase in the minimum wage.

Nobody argues in favor of illegal immigration--just legal immigration.

And don't count on the WSJ not being sold to Murdoch. From what I read, it's very likely. And that may well destroy the WSJ's value as a source.

Though Dickey, BB, etc. will love it.
