Enjoying a Tat Havani VI at the B&M. Went with the Angeles since Scott was yapping so much about them the other day.
And you didn't have to worry about shipping!

Speaking of shipping... what's gonna happen to the 40,000+ kids coming from central America. We just gonna make 'em citizens and absorb all the living and medical costs. I feel bad, but that's a lot of fucking kids!
at least we all get to share in raising deadbeats at our govts/taxpayer expense.

Raz,
On top of it all, the current workforce can't sustain the retirement of the Baby-Boomers.  We need an expanded labor pool.  Where's it going to come from?

being a BabyBoomer myself, and seeing the liberal approach to govt handouts and entitlements, I see more welfare recipients taking advantage of the benefits of not working. we need reforms from all sides.

Might as well, we're going to absorb the cost anyway, and if we're going to absorb the cost we're better off to make them citizens so we can tax them and recoup the investment. 

The problem with all the political bullshit over immigration policy is that neither side ever does any math.  It costs to keep them out of the country, it costs to ship them out of the country, and even if you keep them out or ship them out we pump billions in foreign aid into their country because that's how we grease the skids of business for US importers and exporters.  It's also how we go about preventing World Wars, but we'll stick to basics here.  Meanwhile, all the farmers on the east side of my state are employing the hell out of illegals so they can satisfy the public's demand for cheap produce, and the horse ranchers around my town are employing hell out illegals because high school students don't want to earn money mucking out stalls and corrals - and parents don't want their students working 20 hours a week anyway because that hurts their grades and chances for getting into college affordably.  But these same horse ranchers and farmers will pack political meetings demanding hard-line immigration policy because they really don't want the status quo changed.  If you decrease the supply of black-market labor, their labor costs go up and labor stability goes down.   They want the black market because it works for them AND it gives them the opportunity to bitch about liberals.  It's a win-win.

I'm conservative in political preference.  But the immigration debate is inflamed by math-illiterates on all sides. 

On top of it all, the current workforce can't sustain the retirement of the Baby-Boomers.  We need an expanded labor pool.  Where's it going to come from?

You callin' the farmers bitches?

hi Tony.
where's my red stars?
I haven't forgotten about you.  I was considering changing all the founding members to red white and blue.  Didn't get it done by July 4th.  Still wanna do it though.  Were you looking for just you to be a red star?  That will be trickier.
