The consequences of the homeland invasion

An upcoming graduate of Prince William County Schools recently told me he was trying to find a summer job, without any success. He said he had just spoken to a landscape company and they told him they hire only Spanish-speaking employees. He told the interviewer he had no problem working with Spanish-speakers and that he would like the opportunity to practice the Spanish he learned in
High School. The interviewer told him he did not understand. He said they hire only Spanish-speaking people.
This is the situation that an uncontrolled, unfettered, and illegal invasion of aliens (calling them “immigrants” denigrates my heritage) across our southern border has created. Our own children cannot get employment in industries that were traditionally open to them prior to this invasion of over 20 million illegals. Illegal aliens will work at slave wages under conditions worse than slavery because they have no recourse against the unscrupulous, exploitative and traitorous employers who hire them.
Our elected leaders like the governor and State Senator Creigh Deeds encourage this situation by failing to enact state laws that would remedy the situation. They hide behind the lie that, “it’s a federal problem,” while collecting campaign contributions from companies that profit from the slave labor of illegal aliens. They hire people like Dr. Stephen Fuller from George Mason University to buttress their lies with false assertions that illegal aliens are good for our economy.
State Senator John Watkins says Prince William County’s crackdown on illegal aliens is, “having an adverse affect on people’s lives.”
Senator Watkins is worried about the wrong people’s lives. He, the governor, Senator Deeds, and other illegal alien supporters like Dr. Fuller should be assessing the economy from the perspective of a young 18-year-old American citizen who cannot find a job because his homeland has been invaded.

Gary, everyone knows that the vast majority of illegal traffic ( including the drug traffic ) comes in over our southern border. We cannot protect all of our border sufficiently, that is obvious so it would only be intelligent to concentrate on the most abused portions of our border, wouldn’t it ? Nice effort in trying to paint someone as a racist though.

Barnun,
Apparently there are long delays in this moderated comments system. I spotted you response to my abortion question last night and posted my reply.
Concerning women’s right’s in Iraq - facts on the ground show that women had far more rights under Saddam’s secular government than they do now that Sharia law is taking hold in most regions.
They also weren’t being killed by the hundreds of thousands as they are now, and there weren’t approxiamtely 1 million women refugees (out of approximately 2 million total refugees). So all in all, they were probably a lot better off under Saddam.
I have no doubt that Saddam raped and tortured women - as well as tortured men. I’m not defending Saddam. I have never claimed he was anything other than a brutal dictator; but he was one of many brutal dictators around the world who’s only distinction was that his country sat upon one of the largest remaining untapped petroleum reserves still available.
Saddam did control a secular government where women had far more “rights” than other Middle East Countries including our BFF Saudia Arabia - which happens to have one of the worse human rights records of all nations today, in which women are still not even allowed to drive a car.
Concering McCain’s “100 year” comment; Go to YouTube and do a search, you’ll find the actual, unedited, real-live real-time video where he made that statement. He actually made the statment several times in several different venues before the Republican Party when beserk and claimed he never said it.
Funny that for a man who’s so impressed with the awsomeness and rightness and success of the Iraq war, he doesn’t want anyone to know what he really said.

Ron,
how can you stand up for womens rights but then oppose removing sadaam after he’s raped and tortured women for decades ? We could twist the Iraq situation up like a pretzel. I dont like our guys being there. I dont like our country needing oil from the middle east. I do understand that since we are in Iraq, there are potentially right ways and wrong ways to leave. I am not qualified to decide which is the right way and which is the wrong way. I am not now and was not then priveledged to the same information that the republicans and the Democrats in congress has access to when they combined voted to remove sadaam.

I notice that pwanon (Prince William anonymous) is worried only about our “southern border.“ I guess the other borders don’t count. Hmm. That sure looks anti-Hispanic to me.

I also believe the millions of illegals that are here from mexico should go home and march against their government to improve their county. There is no reason for mexico to be such a mess. the have OIL, rich farmlands, two coasts of tourism and year round tropics. I’m also big on energy issues. Do you know why we cant push the mexican government to improve ? we import more oil from them than anyone. How sad is that. the US is dependant on mexico and if we cant break that dependance than we cant force them to help their people.

Ron, ? I have ALWAYS agreed to go after the employers. fine them stifly per every illegal employed. go after walmart first. start with the big boys and hit em hard. I’m against outsourcing. i think our government should be offering tax incentives to keep jobs AND industry right here at home. I did answer your abortion question somewhat but you never answered mine. our discussion was about the abortion laws in our country but then you want to know how i feel about pregnant women that are killed in war zones. i think it sucks. i think the Iraq war has been poorly run. I agree with McCain’s theory that IF you are going to do something like Iraq, get in, get it done and get out. Yes, that is actually his theory. No he really doesn’t want to be there in war for 100 yrs, that is a twist of words. No McCain is not my first choice for president and No Obama is not either.

Willow, U.S. policy is that a Cuban who sets foot on American soil is allowed to remain and later qualify for expedited permanent residency and then citizenship. All those Cubans you want to send back for whatever reason are here legally.

Perhaps the kid should try more than one place to seek employment. I see help wanted signs up all over town. Try the food industry. Try the county. Try babysitting or is the kid too manly?

Thank you Sammy B. A point I’ve been trying to make for months. If hiring illegal day laborers saved a company so much money, why would your boss not replace you with a 7-11 worker? Duh, because you are trained and have skills that are valuable to him would be my guess. The same for manual labor businesses. A skilled, experienced mulch spreader is more productive and therefore more valuable to an employer than a new worker. Employers want to hire people that MAKE them money, not save them money. If it works in your field, it works that way in mine.
