Make a Run for the Border

Ok...so I've been thinking about the immigration hubub lately and of course I have my opinion on it. I think this is what happens when there irresponsible capitalism. For someone who wants to rally America, this bill is want of the most un-American bill I've ever seen.

Now, I understand that these positions that these "temporary residents" would be filling are positions that no one else wants to do. That's only because they're positions that aren't compensated as they should be. Is this really about the economy or about big businesses continuing to turn their profit. There are models where you can turn a profit and still compensate your employees accordingly. Ben & Jerry's is just one company for instance.

If they pass this bill, who's to say they'll just stop at the positions nobody wants? What about other type blue-collar positions that pay decent money? You know that if companies can get way with paying someone half the money than they already have to pay someone else, then they're going to do it. This is the government which pretty much let Enron execs get away with stealing BILLIONS of dollars from its employees. Don't put anything past them.

On the flip side. There's another sect of Congress that wants to make helping illegal immigrants a felony and that's just wrong. Is it really that serious?
