Burning Atlanta

I don't have much good to say about Myers or Chertoff but I have heard her make a few comments to business groups I'm sure went over like a turd in the punchbowl.

This is so sick and happens too often. Some  business owners keep illegals in virtual slavery, pay them little and work their asses off. The really bad part is knowing there are people that advocate this. Let's bring back slavery! Screw those pesky workplace and child labor laws.

I don't understand Janet, I don't think I want to try. But she's right on this one. At a time when crossings are down it's unbeleivable that the fed wants to pull enforcement. They should send about 30,000 NG to the border. The only hope is that border state governors route some NG to the border for "training" purposes.

In all candor, i've really wrestled with the death penalty. Too many incidents of innocents being convicted and it's real hard to bring them back after they're put in the ground. I think the best answer I've come up with is, instead of "Beyond a reasonable doubt" that the death penalty should only be applied "With no reasonable doubt." This guy certainly could be found guilty beyond doubt. Guilty as hell.

I found this from FAIR:

May 21, 2008

Last night, Democratic Leadership partially capitulated and agreed to strip three of the four immigration amendments from the Iraq War Funding Bill that is on the Senate floor this week.

The move came when Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) made a point of order under Senate Rule 16, which prohibits legislating policy on an appropriations bill. The parliamentarian agreed, and stripped the following amendments:

• The AgJobs Amendment that would have granted amnesty to 1.35 million agricultural workers and their families;
• The Murray-Gregg Amendment that would have made approximately 218,000 more green cards available for multinational executives and so-called "highly skilled workers" by "recapturing" visas from as far back as 1994; and
• The Leahy Amendment that would have extended for 5-years a program that helps wealthy investors get green cards.

However, Senate sources tell us that the Mikulski H-2B amendment - an amendment that could lead to hundreds of thousands of new unskilled H-2B guest workers flooding the labor market in only a few years - is still in the Iraq War Funding Bill. This is because the Iraq War Funding Bill is being considered in two parts and point of order raised by Senator Menendez only applied to the first part. The H-2B provision is in the second.

Please keep calling your Senators until Democratic Leadership strips this final special-interest immigration amendment from the Iraq War Funding Bill! Tell them that you oppose importing tens of thousands of new unskilled (H-2B) guest workers to appease corporate interests—and especially when the economy is struggling.

We heard throughout the day that your calls put intense pressure on Senators across the country. One staffer told us that the phones were "lighting up like a Christmas tree." Please help us make sure Congress looks out for the American people and not special interests.  

I don't trust them but we'll see.

I have no doubt that since Arizona passed some anti-illegal alien laws many have left. AND, considering Maricopa county is actively enforcing laws aimed at illegals I'm surprised any illegals are even staying there. Waht aprt of "Get out" don't they understand?

It's ALWAYS about the money. EVERYBODY loves good, CHEAP labor. And illegals will work their tails off, rarely complain because they don't want to get deported, and be thrilled to make $8 an hour because that's what they made in a day in their home countries, if that much.
