Legal immigration to Australia is easier than legal immigration to the US. Illegal immigration to Australia is hard, illegal immigration to the US seems to be easy (once you get across the border). It is hard to buy Aussie real estate if you are non-resident individual, but you can set up an Aussie corporation for that purpose...

Slagle I hate all the traffic and congestion in my current city and I am moving soon to a smaller community I hope, but I just dont see america returning to isolationism, the powerful persons have become more powerful and richer with globalism and to return to isolationism would stifle that I feel. The push to collapse our manufacturing and hand it to china was by the big power brokers to make more money - and they did, at the cost of the blue collar man. At least that is how I read the 80's and 90's - I went to mexico and canada last year and you are absolutely correct that they are not reciprocating the love but the people in power here need that foreign vote - look at bush's cabinet. I see more illegal spanish speaking workers here every month, thier numbers seem to grow exponentially, but how do you think to cut off the borders? I had heard hillary was going to make this a political impetus, but really Slagle, bush, kerry, clinton, its all the same difference to me at this point, power mongers looking out for number 1, I dont have faith in whoever wins next election to fix the damage done. I just read a chinese company is going to buy MAYTAG, like my old employer IBM, another one bites the dust - hehe. I listened at phil this morning on spotlight, all his picks seemed like garbage, DD was the only one that looks like it is about to break through the 50MA - what do you think?
