George W. Bush wants to give rights to illegals! Is that a oxymoron? If big buisnesses, such as the hog or beef slaughtering plants for example, would not continue to look the other way when they willfully hire illegals, then these blue collar job wages would not be so low. In other words, if there were no illegals, then wages would have to rise to attract employees, because otherwise there would be no one that would take these jobs at wages that do not even support a family. Without illegals, wages would rise high enough and be attractive enough for people to hire on to work for an honest living. I do not believe in the BS that wages have to be kept low enough to compete in the world market. Hell no wants to import our beef now, what world market? People have to eat and they will pay what ever it takes to eat. Get rid of the illegals, because it is the law, and it hurts wages.

All low wages do is to increase profits for the bigwigs. The bigs want to keep wages low. Prices don't go down with low wages...when was the last time you saw that happen.

Do you even know what that is? I tell you what's a oxymoron...
It's morons like you who want spilled blood...hundreds of American lives and a trillion dollars to secure rights for Iraq citizens, while at the same time decrying this same government for wanting to give OTHER people rights!
That sir, is a oxymoron.

In either case, what should have happened is that if the people did not like their situation then rise up and change it! I don't care about the conditions of your homeland. It's called a Civil War. Try getting your hands dirty for what you believe in!
We simply should have armed the Iraqi population (in the far north and south) who hated Saddam to begin with and let them take care of their own problems. Same with Mexico, if they don't like the way things are done there, then by all means they could change it. Instead we spend billions taking care of problems that others were too lazy to take care of themselves!

Wait a minute, weren't you the guy who seemed to have a problem with Iran-Contra yesterday? Now you want to subversively arm another country? I think each situation is unique, but I am trying to figure out your position Goodyear.

I did not have a problem in so much as what Iran-Contra was about, but that the administration of the time seemed to all share the same "I do not recall" that was pointed out about the clintons. All I was doing was pointing out that there are liars on both sides.
