why will you insist on twisting my words to suit your agenda? Your agenda, obviously, is to make anyone opposed to the idea of a guest worker program to be some sort of bigot and freeper troll, and horrible human being, etc. etc.

Why will you not accept that there are other reasons to oppose this, instead of sheer bigotry?

The fact is, and I state, once again, for the record...I'd like to see everyone do well...JUST NOT AT MY EXPENSE!

If it is going to HURT me, then I am not for it. Too bad. i'm sure you would feel the same way if the idea would hurt you, economically. sorry, but I don't treasure the idea of policy that is designed to pauperize me.

I look out after my own interests first and foremost...as, i'm sure, most everyone else does, whether or not they will admit to it.

The fact is...I see no way in which such a program does anything other than hurt me economically.

Again, I contend that YOU have a nice, safe, steady, secure, well-paying job and will not be negatively impacted by this idea...and so you, from your self-appointed pedestal of "holier-than-thou" point the finger at me for expressing my legitimate fears that such a program will harm me economically.

Let me ask you to be honest - if this idea was going to hurt YOU economically, would you still support it? I sincerely doubt it.

Try being long-term unemployed. when you are in my boat, you quite frankly want as little competition as possible for jobs. And that is what I want. Less competition for jobs. That makes the wage I can demand higher than if there is more competition for fewer jobs.

It's simple economics, and nothing more.
