		<description>Go to any auto parts store and ask the clerk if you could look threw their &quot;hard parts&quot;:  alternators, starters, water pumps, clutches, radiators, brake parts, electrical components, etc.   Look for the country of origin and on about 85% of the boxes you will see Made in Mexico or China.   On 12% of them you will see countries like Korea, Taiwan, Pakistan,  etc.  And finally, on 2% you will see USA. 

You will also notice the price of these parts are sky high even though the average worker manufacturing them is making about $2.50 per hour, if lucky.   We just had an engine remanufacturer move its operations to Mexico.   I&#039;ve been waiting for a drop in their prices but so far it hasn&#039;t come.   Stew hit the nail on the head with a sledgehammer when he said cheap labor benefits big business; labor costs go down but prices remain high.</description>

		<description>Fred,
Great post.

Bush desires more illegals because he believes that low wage labor will benefit big business.  And it will.  Consider what would happen if there were no illegals to build houses or pluck chickens, etc.

It is so expensive to run a business that it almost isn&#039;t worth it anymore.  Bush is addressing this symptom and not the problem.  That&#039;s the &quot;Compassionate&quot; part of the Compassionate Conservative that is George W Bush.

I&#039;m sorry if I caused anyone to vomit in their mouth after reading the above paragraph.

After reading John Linder&#039;s Fairtax (HR25) I strongly feel that is the start of turning this around.

I&#039;d encourage you to read that and think of the consequences of an immediate reduction in government power.

		<description>Fred, I have to do some serious thinking about the fence. Look, fences were designed more to keep something in than to keep something out. Any fence that is built to keep the wetbacks out could be used eventually to keep me from getting out.

The point is we don&#039;t need a gotdam fence. We need politicians with the guts to enforce the laws that we have and to tell Mexico that if this shit keeps up we are gonna own Mexico..which ain&#039;t a bad idea..lots of natural resources and a population that ain&#039;t afraid of work. All it needs is a government that encourages free enterprise instead of one that enriches the politicians..wait, come to think about it the USA needs that kind of government also.

One sure way to stop this nonsense is to let armed citizens patrol the borders with authority to shoot every sumbitch crossing it. Sure the Mexicans will scream about it but keep in mind that these were the same people that paid a bounty for scalps of the indians...</description>

		<description>She is so out of touch with America.  Once again we have a demonstration of the total incompetence of our governing body.  We need to prepare for a major shift in government.
