I guess harry is getting some good money from unions, so he wants to get a union bill passed. No chance of that happening, unions wasting more money. Nancy Pelosi stepping into the same immigration minefield that the GOP has, I'm loving it. Good thing Congress is doing what the people want in terms of immigration, should make it easier to evict the bums in 08.

the democrats should drop all effort and support of an immigration bill until after the 08 election when they will have solid majorities and the White House and can pass a bill that is best for the country without the Republican interference and heated election politics. Whatever passes now they will be blamed as long as the Republican faux noise machine is operating; it is a no-win situation.

Immigration Reform
By
Charlie Gragg

The American people have spoken.
No Amnesty, their position is clear.
But since Congress is broken
they forge ahead with a deaf ear.

What a strange alliance we see brewing in this political pot.
Bush and the Democrats? Certainly not.
Throw in McCain and Kennedy, an unlikely pair.
The result is uncertain as the recipe is rare.

But keep faith in our leaders as they know best don't you see.
They know the facts, unlike you and me.
So put your back to the wall make sure it’s protected.
Take a deep breath and exhale were about to be shafted.

Jerry--Good to see a man who enjoys his Countries predicaments and crises. Things must have become very enjoyable for you in the past 6 years of Republican control of all three branches of government.

During the depression, the government created a number of work projects to provide employment to those in need in the United States. It gave them the satisfaction of earning a living for themselves as well as served the local communities. Yes, that program later morphed into welfare, but in the beginning if you wanted to be paid, you had to work. It's about time we go back to that system. No more free rides to those who are not employed and no, I am not including those who are unable to work, just those sitting around on their backsides collecting a free check. All of those employers who have jobs that normally employ manual labor which would include farm and factory jobs that currently rely on immigrant labor, could register and have people come to work in order to gain their weekly checks. It could even be set up so that they would only be required to work a minimum of 20 hours a week, allowing them plenty of time to go on job interviews, attend school or find better suited employment. In return, the employers would be required to pay into a govenment pool for the right to have access to these workers which would help to defray some of the current costs of welfare payments away from the taxpayers. However, what will be needed is a system of checks and balances that will prevent these very same employers from reclassification of other existing jobs to fit the system in order to obtain cheap labor thereby making an attempt to prevent abuse of the system. This would also give local governments the chance to get work completed that they do not have enough funds or earmarked money to be completed. A number of those jobs go unstarted or unfinished due to the inability to match funds with excessive bids and estimated costs listed by fat cat contractors and businesses. This would decrease the overall need for immigrant labor, provide employment for the unemployed and decrease the use of tax dollars for welfare. It will also provide incentive to those who do not like manual type labor jobs to get off their duffs, improve their education and or skills, (in most incidences get at least a GED) and find better employment. The fewer jobs there are available, the less influx of immigrants at least in some part.

There's a fellow- a Texan, named Jerry
who's posts are getting quite scarry
I'm sure one of his goals
when he goes to the polls
is to write in 'Mairon Berry'.

Wankin you spelled Marion wrong, spell check bud. Gary, I have done so well under President Bush, never dreamed of doing this well under Clinton. Economy is going good, plenty of jobs available for people who want to put down the KFC and Shasta and want to make some money. hey life is good. There is a war and liberals want to raise taxes and destroy the country, but I think that will never happen. Life in Texas is better and better each and every day. Gasoline is cheap and goods are reasonably priced, compared to california(specially san franscisco). So yes, gary, life is good, thank you for asking!
