Thread Name: BS: More Failed Trickle Down Economics?
Subject: RE: BS: More Failed Trickle Down Economics?
Hmmmmmmm, Terry K? "Right winged views on immigration"?!?!?!?.... Well, someone get DougR up. Wait until he hears that his ol' Wes Ginny lefty has been labeled a right winger! Wheee! That's gonna make his day. Never been accused of that! Wow!

But seriously speakin', I have three employees in my small company and they are all immigrants. One Ukranian and two Salvadorians. But that's not the issue at all. This issue is that corporate America just happens to love the Hispanics because they do work cheap. It's one thing to take investment capital to the third world but quite different when you bring the third world to the US. It does have a tendancy to look like strike busting scab labor.

Now, immigration is fine. It is what the US is all about but there is a point of diminishing returns and when it becomes so great that it threatens the working classes quality of life I believe that point has been reached.

Now if that's right winged then so be it but I just see it a pro-labor. Pro-union. Pro-working class.

BTW, how many Hispanics have ya heard about lately that are being rounded up, other than at entry, in America's (US) cities, handcuffed and detained or deported? Not many. Boss Hog likes things just the way they are. they work cheap. They pay taxes and mnay do not file for refunds for fear of being found and deported and many will return to Latin America before they become a drain on the Social Security system. I'd just like to see these folks become participants of a "trickle up" economy.

But I guess that's right winged, also?

Oh well. Sticks and stones will break....
