Halliburton . . . . . . (preeminent war-profiteers – cut and ran to the Middle East)
Exxon Mobil . . . . . . (primary funder of anti-Global Warming ”science”)
Lockheed Martin . . . . (world’s largest supplier of killing machines)
Wal-Mart . . . . . . . (biggest slave-profiteer in human history)
Just as with the “issue” of homosexual marriage last time around, this election the Right is working up the electorate about “illegals” in our midst. So just remember, transnational corporations can NEVER be “good corporate citizens” because transnationals can’t be “citizens” IN ANY SENSE.
And who do you think is going to drive down your wages more… a bunch of Mexican baby-sitters and gardeners? Or Wal-Mart?

1. The right answer .... is all of the above. |
|
Besides breaking the laws of this country is suppose to be punishable not a reward for the criminals. Perhaps you forgot that very important concept or perhaps you are illegal as well ??

3. the difference is that immigration is a wedge againsts Democrats. |

No, I'm not illegal. And no I don't want to reward those who enter our country illegally. But according to polls of Republicans, immigration is the third most important issue facing our nation, after the economy and the war! Why? They SAY it's because their worried about wage pressure. But if wages was their real concern, there are better targets for their anger than Mexicans - see above. The Rove-ian strategy at work here is to split the progressives majority, just as you, GetTheRightVote, have been split off from me right here. That's the definition of a "wedge issue".
