Building a Border Fence… With Illegal Labor

12/15/06, 3:26 pm EST

Wow.

It’s hard to imagine a clearer sign that current American immigration policy is a total crock:

The Golden State Fence company, a firm that builds border fencing to keep illegal immigrants out of the San Diego area, has just been fined $5 million for… wait for it… employing illegal immigrants to build its border fencing.

This is literally a bit from Carlos Mencia’s standup routine … come to life. Really. Why anyone writes fiction anymore is beyond me.

What a waste of money to build a wall! All this fence does is kill wildlife because they can’t pass.

Make it a serious fine to hire or house border crossers and people will stop doing it!

Then America can make some money instead of spending!

Jed Clampett | 12/21/2006, 8:44 pm EST

that america as a nation has a kharmic debt that it has not repaid and some folks would really like to make right. so don’t be surprised if somethin else in a large scale is being planned and in the production stages. Our current gov thinks it has the situation under control because it is in collusion.

the enslavers sparked a curiousity huh? you demand answers so they can be deprecated and ridiculed. That answer has to be found on your own. think of the original definition. how do we think of slavery in history and how would it translate to modern times.

So Jed, what are you saying? That we are about to be forced off our lands, given small pox bedrolls, and the survivors reduced to 2nd class citizens?

Jed Clampett | 12/20/2006, 1:41 pm EST

the pilgrims on the mayflower… the original illegal immigrants. When faced with hard times the natives helped them by bringing them food and feasting with them… the birth of ‘Thanksgiving’, how did they repay them? the next year they murdered the tribe and started a genocide of all things American.

The victors get to rewrite history and usually show the world as a horrible place before they came in and set it all right.
True history is non existant, yet the sheep that didn’t live this history spout it off as fact. They ignore the genocide commited by their own people, justifying it by calling their victims less than human, worthy of the treatment they reserve for animals. Call themselves Godly while acting with disdain for anything remotely associated with Godlyness. They ignore all the knowledge and wisdom of the conquered peoples and ridicule their connection to source. Yet find it perfectly acceptable to empty their piss pots into the middle of the street considerinig the resultant wave of disease ‘an act of God’.
Truthiness rules their world and they espouse it with gusto while at the same time fighting truth and reality with a zeal reserved for those who’ve been brainwashed into murder/suicide.
Then they use evil’s tactics by impostoring their perceived enemy to discredit them. Assume aliases to carry on conversations with themselves to find agreement. Not much more than a PR campaign to convince regular people that they want what’s best for them while doing everything to help themselves by oppressing others. They say to you ‘humanity is inherently evil’ and procede to prove it by doing evil things and espousing evil ideals. Mere ideologs, their arguments are hollow, they grow frustrated when they are ignored. Poor senseless puppets, they will think they are being saved and taken to paradise while being turned into soilent green to feed their masters.
With their rethoric and lack of empathy they draw their bretheren into senseless discussions of inane subjects while ignoring the true cause of their worlds demise, even to the point of taking pride in their callousness.
Like true Children of Nero, they play their harp while the world burns around them as they think they are doing God’s work and helping all reach salvation. Enjoy your commercialized Chistmas, share in the joys of materialism while forgeting the source of the holidays and what he stood for. Celebrate while you can fools, be ready for your just rewards.

Although illegals do contribute to the tax system, they are a net drain financially, even considering the taxes they contribute. There are simply too many of them. Further, they take jobs that should go to our own middle class and poorer citizens, and would if they were not here. Their presence depresses wages for all lower strata jobs and causes small businesses to lose business to those who hire the illegals and therefore can undercut their job bids. Many small construction and similar businesses are struggling because to compete successfully they would have to dump their current employees and hire illegals like their competition already has. Illegals are a huge drain on public health and education, consuming resources that should go to help legal citizens. Because I’m basically a liberal, I am against illegal immigration because the persons it hurts the most are the poorer classes, both illegals and our own needy citizens.

It would be great if America and society could still afford unlimited immigration, but those days are gone. Our natural resources are strained with the number of people we have NOW - adding a million illegals per year will simply bring us to emergency that much sooner. What good will it have done us to let everyone in who wants to come, when by doing so we are insuring that our infrastructure, public services and water, electricity, etc., won’t be able to handle it, leaving us all in want? Will people finally learn once the US turns into an overpopulated sinkhole where no one but the wealthy can survive? It is already predicted that rolling blackouts and brownouts are expected to be a regular occurrence starting in a few years, because of demand on the energy infrastructure and lack of natural resources - how much worse will it be when we are adding a million users per year that are illegals, in addition to the normal modes of population increase? We are already fighting over water supplies in the west and southwest. The old world is gone, and we have to make hard choices.

Cesar Chavez was against illegal immigration. He even led marches to the Mexican border to protest illegals. He knew it would hurt those he was working hardest for; the poor legal immigrants who could not compete with illegals who will be willing to work for even less wages. He worked hard to get legal immigrants better rights in the fields. But we are no longer living in the 1800’s where we welcomed and needed all we could get to come here.

We are digging our own graves with our misguided generosity. We are paying for a badly run war that is going beyond all normal reason and was started on false premises. We are paying for a poorly run Medicare system. We are paying for corporate welfare. We cannot afford to welcome everyone who wants to come here. Sure, I wish it were different - but times have changed.

U.S. businesses should definately do more to encourage a healthy Mexico. However, they are way down on the list of causes why Mexico is in the current state it’s in. That’s all I was trying to say. My point about Iraq is that if America takes it upon itself to solve the world’s problems, a lot of the time, we end up causing an equal number of new problems. Same can be said about Vietnam.

Jed
When you treat me with respect, we can have good debates all around. Notice how there were no personal insults thrown between Word and I. I even asked you an honest question about taxes and you ignored it and proceeded to personally insult me again. For the last time, it’s you that is making everything personal, not me. Grow up.

Jed Clampett | 12/17/2006, 9:19 am EST

The framework and polarization is being put in place in mexico to sendi it into a civil war in the near future. Watch for people escaping in droves if that happens making it impossible for any fence to stem the tide.

Word, the stinker should be treated the same way cesar milan (the dog whisperer) treated eric kartman in his appearance in southpark (if you happen to follow the show), otherwise he’ll just drag you into dircourse about itself and it’s ignorance and intolerance. That is one of the tactics used to distract from the real issue and ends up pissing you off and writing things not in accordance with your true nature, discrediting your points by making you seem as extremist as it is.

Word | 12/16/2006, 7:43 pm EST

Prop,
Sure you can blame Mexico for much of their problems: their government is corrupt as hell. But fixing their economy is probably what ordinary Mexicans wanted to do by electing Lopez Obrador to power instead of Felipe Calderon. Obrador would have reduced Mexico’s obligations under NAFTA, making a legitimate attempt to bring the difference between the rich and poor in mexico under control.

Calderon won however, under extremely shady circumstances (a recount of the votes was not allowed), and no doubt to the joy of U.S. corporations such as the Golden State Fence Co. who use cheap Mexican labor.

So your answer is that Mexico is trying to get itself right, u.s. big business just doesn’t have an interest in a healthy Mexico. And by the way I don’t understand your last sentance: how is America’s involvement in Iraq evidence that the u.s. can’t be held responsible for world problems? The problems in Iraq were directly caused by the u.s. invasion.

By the way, Carlos Mencia is hilarious. BEETCHES!

We are also paying lots of taxes on special interest programs, meant to help the less forunate. Should we stop that too?

C Co... aka I Smell Propaganda | 12/16/2006, 7:20 pm EST

Word

Can we not blame everything on America? For starters, Mexico is its own country. They are the ones in control of their economy. They are the ones with the huge income differenial and lack of middle class. Of course NAFTA isn’t the best thing for them, but they agreed to be part of the alliance, didn’t they? And even if that was adjusted, it wouldn’t suddenly make Mexico a happy and prosperious nation. They are a variety of problems at Mexico’s very core that have made it such a tough place to live. The only ones who can change that are Mexicans. America can’t be held responsible for all the world’s problem, as partly evidenced by our involvement in Iraq.

A wall,lmao….ICE,lmao….All of these actions are just to pacify you.

Hellooooooo…..AMERO

Jed Clampett | 12/16/2006, 2:59 pm EST

I’ve been wondering that myself. the founding fathers felt the population shouldn’t pay taxes. it should be businesses paying taxes for the priviledge of making money from the population. Unfortunately that has been turned on it’s head. We pay taxes to prop up businesses that are poorly managed. The leaders of these businesses are very friendly with our politicians…. and so you have what we have here today. some folks you just can’t reach.

C U in Hell | 12/16/2006, 11:14 am EST

A million dollars, huh? Alright, somebody give me one good reason why I should continue to pay taxes — other than going to jail.

No propaganda it’s not u.s. immigration policy that causes policy and lack of jobs in Mexico, it’s u.s. trade policy. Namely Nafta.

Jed Clampett | 12/15/2006, 8:35 pm EST

don’t knock it bud, you payed a million just for that little piece. Ain’t no price gouging there, just a good entrepeneur, huh?

C U in Hell | 12/15/2006, 5:41 pm EST

Well, whoever builds the wall, I hope they show some better craftsmanship than whoever built that ugly piece of shit.

C Co... aka I Smell Propaganda | 12/15/2006, 4:31 pm EST

If true, this is quite sad. However, it’s not the American immigration policy that caused poverty and lack of jobs in Mexico that forces illegals to come here; remember that. Nevertheless, we need a more comprehensive plan of action than our current one.
