Elroy, > In other words, your American is already much better taken care of than the non-American, but you would take from the worse off non-American and give to the better off American, just because of nationality. Two words: "Great Society." Funny how liberals on this thread complain about Paris Hilton, because most of the world thinks EVERY American lives like Paris Hilton. Tenchusatsu

re: But your recommendation on illegal alien workers does more than "take care of your clan first". You seem to think a non-American worker should earn $1 per hour back home rather than $10 per hour in the US, so that the American can earn $20 per hour in the US rather than $15. In other words, your American is already much better taken care of than the non-American, but you would take from the worse off non-American and give to the better off American, just because of nationality. First, your "non-American workers" are illegal... they are breaking our laws. And their employers are breaking our laws. They are also contributing to a lowering of the wages for real US citizens, and taking their jobs. The "victim" in this case is the US citizen. Frankly, it's I'm "taking" or "giving", then I'm taking a little from the employer in the form of wages and "giving" to the US citizen employee so that we don't have a class of working poor. Do you think every Mexican with the wits to illegally cross the border has a right to stay permanently in the US? Is that the prerequisite for citizenship? Do you believe in national sovereignty at all or are you for a border less world?
