Can you just imagine “A Day Without a Mexican”?

Excellent movie. I highly recommend it.

I’ll admit to having supported NAFTA, on the belief that it would improve the Mexican economy enough so illegal immigration would drop to a non-issue like with Canada. Living in California, that just made sense to me.

It turned out, of course, that NAFTA didn’t even end up helping the Mexican economy.

Republican DLC-Dem policies, what did you expect?

What was the effect you saw? Was there no good that came from it at all? Did only the Rich benefit at everyone else’s expense?

Surprise me.

That’s your problem lady – I never could figure out who could belong to this fascist organization that has hid child molestors for over 2000 years – ask Cardinal Law who was promoted by the Pope after hiding some of these modern day molestors. The church just lost its first case in Jersey where I think a Deacon was screwing little kids – you must be a proud Catholic.

I always used to have very high regard for this country and believe me I still do but now with this new bill I may have to wait around 13 to 4 5 years to get my green card. I believe this country has failed everyone who believed in it like me. Now I don’t have any regrets before I used to contemplate going back to my country but now. I am going to make some more money (I already invested back home which I would have put here in a house and it grew twice) and with out any regrets I will say bye forever to this country which I desperately wanted to make home.

And as a Canadian I understand why some Canucks want to come to the US – they think that the wide open capitalist system will allow them to make the megabucks that they are denied back home. Doesn’t really happen – I live here because my husband is American, and there is many a day I would like to be back in BC. Whatever. But there are just as many Americans who want to move to Canada – a country with a social conscience, and just as difficult to get into LOL

The reality in this country is that manufacturers and processors need cheap labor. Do any of YOU want to work in the chicken processing plant? Not likely. But some dude from Guerrero in Mexico, who was living in a palapa with a dirt floor, cooking in said palapa over wood scrounged from the surrounding scrub, with absolutely no way of making any money, would be prepared to scrape his way across the border with just the clothes on his back and find his way to some dreadfully dangerous job which pays like $4 an hour. We simply have no idea of how desperate these folks are. I lived in Mexico for a year, and understand their plight.

This immigration bill is a piece of shit. Guest worker program = get them in here to work for nothing, and don’t let them have their families with them. This is slavery in the 21st century, and all that crap Bush spews about “helping” immigrants is nothing more than helping his corporate buddies get cheap labor with the worst working conditions imaginable.

Any more we only eat meat raised and processed in Montana. I wouldn’t eat chicken from Safeway if my life depended on it – which it probably would.

These poor people from south of the border who think they are lucky to have a job are being exploited just like the slaves were when the country was in its infancy.

Screw immigration and the fascist Catholic church that comes with it. They have already coalesced with the Evangelicals and Fundamentalists and with that union they’ll be knocking on your door to see if you’ve read your bible today, or to borrow one of your kids for excercise.

That is totally insulting and I resent it as a Roman Catholic.
