It is well documented that Hispanic workers here who, working under the table undercut Americans wage earning ability, then send large amounts of their earnings (profits) back to their families in Mexico. This stops the US trickle down effect. It seems like you (and a few others) have a significant disconnect here. What is the difference between our jobs going "offshore" or "offshore" walking across our border and doing our jobs here?


We are off topic, I know, but while we are here, maybe you can explain to me the difference between "outsourcing" and "off shoring".   

Still using "trickle down"? How right you are with out even knowing it. It sure does trickle, seep, or drip. My point is, what can be done to make it more of a nice steady stream, a nice place we can all drink from?    





In your above example, working under table is wrong wherever you come from, and it isn't just illegal immigrants doing it.

If I am hungry and the only option I have is to work under the table to feed my family, wrong or not, I'm doing it. Really hard to stop it if you do not go right to the source, the employer.

We probably disagree on the source though, your stance is probably the taxes are too high and employers have to cut the labor cost.


I see many farms in this area that are completely run by immigrants, well except the fat farmer, whose job is accounting for the cash and rolling around in a new truck slave driving.   He doesn't work.

Seth, Outsourcing is hiring another company that can do something more cost effectively than you can to do in house. Often times in a foreign country that has expertise in that function or is simply more cost effective due to lower labor costs, taxes and regulations. Off shoring is when the business says "i am paying high labor, high taxes, and putting up with high regulation and now you want to tax me for carbon use? Screw it I am moving the whole factory to Indonesia."

Wrong is wrong Seth, we should not encourage wrong with our laws and policies.

I'm not really sure how anyone but teenagers can survive on what these "illegals" make. These guys are doing the work we would do, if it paid a living wage.

Americans used to clean motels, milk cows, bus tables, and labor but those jobs paid enough to survive, even if it required some overtime or was really hard work. Some places around here would not hire you unless you are Mexican.


Seth, Any mediocre economist can tell you about supply and demand if supply outpaces demand it drives down prices. You say Americans used to make a living working hotels and farms, a few decades ago, so what happened in those industries.

Lets look at the big picture. We failed to secure our borders , in the 70's we had large groups coming here from Mexico who found footholds for illegal employment in farming and hospitality industries. In the 80's Regan got duped. He traded policy with the democrats, Amnesty now for those that were here (They are already here we cant kick them out), for securing our borders later which the Dems of course never intended to deliver. This "reward" for behavior encouraged another massive northward migration. Supply of workers increasing over the demand for them drove the pay scales down in their industries to the point where and American who has to pay taxes and expects a higher standard of living cannot afford to do the job. Bringing us to today where again we are saying "What can we do they are already here", and again we are, this time through policy decision not to enforce our laws or secure our borders, giving amnesty and again rewarding behavior. What do you expect will be the result? Which industries are next to not pay a living wage? If we don't learn from history we are destined to repeat it. You do not encourage wrong behavior, and let illegal aliens determine your immigration policies.

I knew that, I was playing off of Romneys latest gaffe. It doesn't really matter if my job was outsourced or off shored, it would be gone, out of a job. Hey I wouldn't pay taxes then, or have money to support the economy that outsourced and off shored me.

What then happens if you outsource offshore, like Bain capitol? To be fair, democrats are guilty of this too. I think we are seeing the result of moving the company overseas, right now in this country, and that crap started long before Obamas "regulation and taxes".

Wrong is wrong you are right about that, doing what every human would do to support a family, moving where they can do that, is still wrong but understandable and deserves a little humanity.

And didn't Joe establish we are doing something about the border and immigration? Better enforcement and more deportation is evidenced by that alone. God dammm fence around the whole country and 10 brigades won't stop those that want to get across it. Wonder why there isn't already a fence around every country already, cause it is not a solution.

Making those here legal and contributing citizens is the goal anyway? If they are legal and pay income tax, think they will work for $5 or ten an hour anymore?

Your example of the boat didn't really work. How about this;

Your neighbors, a couple and one child.
While you are on vacation, dad builds a fence 1 foot on your property because it turns out your and everyone's   cable running on the property line.
Now the issue is headed to court.
Next day child falls on bike and hurt badly in front of your house on the sidewalk.
Do you render aid or pick him up and throw him back in his yard, because after all his dad is a law breaker?

How about if he comes over and admires your boat, he is 8 and it is the coolest thing he has ever seen. Can't stop talking about it, and it sort of makes you feel good he thinks a 20 year old boat is cooler than lawbreaker dad's aluminum boat. Do take him for a ride, or wait until the court case is solved? (that is a little tough, considering his age, but you should see the point)

Come on Dave, did you tell your parents where and when they were moving?

I'll be the first to agree there is some reform needed, but doing anything is not getting things done. Are you going to send the 25 year old home because he was brought here at 3? Here you go back to Mexico, sheeesh, he might not even know the language. That is harsh.

To blame the current administration for the failings of previous administrations that created the immigration crisis by failing to address the issue, and then criticizing this administration for having the courage to put forward a plan is not rational. Introducing a plan is the first step. It should establish a dialogue to work toward a comprehensive plan. To dismiss the work that has been done as purely political is just bad politics. Do you think that the illegal who are affected can vote? Let's see others with differing opinions put forward ideas on how best to deal with the issue.
Only one previous president has had thus courage to try to tackle the health care crisis in this country as well. Now, our current president has prevailed in establishing laws that will protect many more citizens than previously covered. His original proposals have been diluted, but in upholding this law, we have shown compassion to many uninsured needing care. Remember, Care is what Obamacare is all about. Those opposing have assured a legacy for Obama by naming the law and reforms for him. It is not surprising that it has been upheld, after all, Obama has a Harvard law degree, and was a professor of constitutional law at the University of Chicago. Constitutional law is his field. Maybe we can move toward a system like Canada and France where insurance is part of citizenship, and companies are not burdened by providing it.

And yet all of the presidents arguments for Obamacare failed. It was upheld on a gift technicality from Roberts who declared it a tax, which Obama has repeatedly denied. Obama pledged not to raise taxes on the middle class. If not repealed this will turn out to be the biggest tax increase on the middle class in American history. Yes he is brilliant.

Was that a survey of insurance executives? Link me to this survey. It's easy to throw numbers around, but 70% of the time, 52% of the 91% responding are doubtful of your statistics.

Becoming like Canada and France!?!?!?! Oh my god, let's hope not. I want to keep my freedoms and not pay 75% (or whatever they pay in Europe) of my income to the government to take care of me from cradle to grave.....just like good old Canada and France have.

The sleeping giant Dave refers to is us. The American people don't like this law, and all we can hope now is that the electorate will take care of things in November. Let's hope for a repeat of November 2010.

I think Chief Justice Roberts did what he did to keep the court from looking too political. So, yes, it was a big gift to Obama. One that needs to repealed ASAP. We just can't afford all these goodies the govt is "giving" us.

Realized I miss posted right after I sent this. 70% wanted to see Obama care found unconstitutional. I will find the poll later. Off for a bilke ride with my daughter.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander. Isn't that what you all said over your victories?

Of those 70%, 69% probably have no idea what ACA even REALLY is.

If you think it is like Canada, you know nothing of Canada or the ACA.

Get your facts straight! Believing it to be unconstitutional and wanting it repealed are two very different things.

The Gallup poll gauges nothing but how bad the reporting is in the US. When supposedly serious people say silly things and they get repeated over and over without question people start to believe them. That poll found that only 47% actually favored repealing Obama Care… a plurality considering those with no opinion but certainly not 70+%.

The 72% was people who believed the noise that they have been fed from heavily funded and reported sources that it was in fact unconstitional . All those people were in fact wrong according to the only opinion that really matters - the Supreme Court, and by the educated opinions of the majority of constitutional scholars.   So surprise surprise pick 1000 random people and 72% of them got the wrong answer to a constitutional law question….   Here is how much fun you can have with poll data.   Everything below this point is tongue in cheek.

Getting that question wrong means they are a moron or ignorant of the basic laws of their country.

Getting that question right makes you a well-educated genius….

According to the same Gallup poll –

94% of self-professed republicans are morons or ignorant of the basic laws of their country, while the majority of self-professed democrats are well-educated geniuses.

I think I know who one of those 94% (not a republican) ignorant ones who don't know the basic laws of the country is. Obama is supposedly a constitutional law expert (Harvard!!!) He, on numerous occasions swore up and down the Obamacare was not a tax, yet it passed constitutional muster by being a tax.

This is one of the progressives favorite talking points, however, just the opposite is true. For the most part, the democrats need to have an uneducated base to win elections. I would argue that republicans/conservatives are far more informed, and educated.

Now granted, the left has a few proffessorial types in their ranks that "think" they are far smarter than the run of the mill conservative, or at least they certainly look down their eyeglass toting noses at us. However, as far as sheer volume of the numbers, I put my money on conservatives to be far more educated on the issues.

And eight out of nine Supreme Court Justices also did not view it as a tax!
Obama drafted to, (with a little help from Mittens model), passed it, and implemented it. It was upheld by the Supreme Court. It looks like he is very wise in constitutional matters. You forgot to mention his professorship at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law.

Yeah it's funny.

Conservatives dislike ACA, because they think it is unconstitutional.

BUT, favor most parts individually.

Do you really think it is ok to purchase insurance for most of your life, then you get sick and file claims, just to have the insurance cancel your policy?

How about a pre-exisiting condition?   Boy, I'd be screwed if I had to find some on my own.   



Funny how politicians get the greatest health care for life, work very very little, get little done, but that is fine for them. Give us common folk a slice of the pie, and all of the sudden we woke the sleeping giant. Compare them to the recent teacher, and other gov. worker unions. Teachers, cops, firefighters, etc., should do a flip flop with congressional pay scales, and benefits. Now that is a good idea.


Conservatives picked this fight, and really they did, if you consider where Obama got the idea. Thanks Romney! Great idea he had.   Wait now, if you are saying it is a tax, and Romney got it going, which resulted in the largest "tax" base increase in MA, how are you conservatives still lock step with a tax increaser?

Now, take your licking from your court gracefully, and be happy the system worked.

Still looking to see anyones connection to Canada or France, and the ACA. Two very different things really.


Oh, by the way, the soon to be legals will be contributing to your health care, when this starts. You can thank them when that happens.

Whenever conservatives complain about ACA, the liberal response is Don't you think preexisting conditions could be covered, and isnt it good that kids up to 26 can be covered by their parents? OK, thats, two paragraphs. Its the other 2,699 and 1/2 pages that scare me. Even Nancy Pelosi said (with a straight face, if you can believe that) that we have to pass it to see what's in it. Sometimes the audacity is beyond belief. They rammed that thing through so fast that NO-ONE!!!! read it. Unbelievable!!!

OK, thats, two paragraphs. Its the other 2,699 and 1/2 pages that scare me. Even Nancy Pelosi said (with a straight face, if you can believe that) that we have to pass it to see what's in it. Sometimes the audacity is beyond belief. They rammed that thing through so fast that NO-ONE!!!! read it. Unbelievable!!!




Yeah, and just as unbelievable, you don't want it even though you have not read it.    Yeah, tell me about it, and thanks for making the argument complete.

How many pages will it be before conservatives and progressives come together on this issue?



In other news, how many are going to fall lock step with mit, because of his pledge to repeal ACA? He CANNOT, we he can pledge, but even if he is president someday, there are so many reasons he CANNOT repeal the law. He needs to sit in with Obama to take some lessons on law.

I hope I am wrong but it seems like proof anyone can be bought and paid for.




It was the medication he takes was it not?

That is sick. Can you imagine how close to the bottom you have to be to actually use the current argument by conservatives against there own exalted one?

Who's is getting tossed under the bus next?
