Thanks, Smiless.

That's interesting. Thanks, Atlantis.

It is just an opinion. Everyone is entitled to believe what they want.

What it is worth, I hope the Kenyan woman I speak about gets a pay raise eventually.

Good post Smiless!

Well thank you very much. I don't do politics too much. It turns my stomach inside out.

but I am aware of what is going on sometimes. It is problematic, but solutions can be found. The people just need to have more inspiration to do something. Have a heart and reason to do it and also more information which requires research and studying. If anything also travel and see for themselves the differences of life and how it works.

I would start by putting in schools a better educational platform to where even kids in middle school start asking the same questions we see here in this Mingle2 political forum. Get our younger generation to study economics, politics in middle school already. Get them more involved so we can change things around for the better.

I feel these subjects aren't emphasized enough in schools.

I know foreigners that can tell the history of this country and how the government functions better then Americans that are born here. There is something wrong when this happens. Not that I am not happy for the foreigners. I am one myself.

Nevertheless, this has to change somehow that everyone gets a better perspective of the basics of how a governmental body works and how the economy functions. I mean it doesn't have to be college degree level of course, but getting the basics would be great and starting early in life to build on it while growing up.

I also have issues with private schools and public school systems. I just feel everyone should be entitled to the same education without having to pay different price tags to attain it.

Well that is another issue by itself and is off topic anyway.

Sorry OP for being off topic. Just rambling away here.

Have a good one everyone and thanks for letting me reply.

Smiless.

(Just in case you did not know....most of the jobs performed by illegal aliens are NOT wanted by the American citizens. It is easier to go on welfare, than to do hard work such as housekeepers, cooks, busboys, yard maintenance, etc. Illegal aliens are not taking away jobs from Americans. We are too lazy and proud to do what illegal aliens do. )


People who lie for a living have been saying this for years.

...and people who make that glib accusation are often the ones that turn a blind eye to the fact that their compatriots hire these illegal aliens because it puts money in their pockets.

In Iceland (a country with very liberal-leaning laws), they used to have Vietnamese as guest workers doing the menial labor that the natives didn't want to do. But, they made sure they were documented and IIRC, they provided some social services to the guest workers like emergency health care.

However, and this is a big however, no nationals were displaced by guest workers-- only if it could shown that there was NOT a qualified national for a good-paying job would a guest worked even be considered for the position.

We could probably apply the same principles here, but I think we all know why it has yet to come to pass. (And it's NOT because of liberals, either.)

40 to 42% of Mexico’s domestic product comes from Mexico’s colonies north of the river.

Maybe if those 'colonists' stopped driving fuel guzzling Land Yachts with massive appetites for Mexican petroleum that wouldn't be the case. Last time I checked, we imported the most oil from Canada, followed in order by Saudi Arabia and then Mexico.
