Then we have a genuine citizen victim to support AND a wetback criminal to feed in jail.

John Cornyn of Texas that would give illegal immigrants up to five years to leave the country.

Take his popcorn and soda away folks.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>The protests come as President Bush has urged lawmakers to approach the contentious immigration issue in a way that avoids pitting groups against each other.<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Err... you mean like pitting that group of law-abiding citizens and taxpayers against that group of entitlement-sucking criminal alien invaders?</span><br /><br /><blockquote>The Senate is scheduled to take up the immigration issue next week.

That bill, which has yet to gain Senate approval, would deny state services to adults living in the U.S. illegally and impose a 5 percent surcharge on wire transfers from illegals.<br />Teodoro Maus, one of the organizers of the Georgia protest, estimated as many as 80,000 Hispanics did not show up for work Friday.<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">This reminds me of the anarchist youths burning France right now, committing national security suicide, in the name of job security. It is just drawing the attention of the American citizen to the real scope of the disaster, promulgated by both the President and the liberal Democrats, every time they openly fail their Constitutional sworn duty, to enforce the law.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>About 200 people converged on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, some wrapped in Mexican flags and holding signs reading: "Don't panic, we're Hispanic" and "We have a dream, too."</blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Note the choice of flag those people are draped in.

Drive over to Houston, and give those Katrina evacuees, who seem to have all the free time in the world, a Ray Nagin bus ride to the job site. They can pull up their welfare entitlements, and earn their keep.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>The president is working hand-in-hand with employers who want cheap labor to clean hotel rooms, pick crops and do other tasks that they say keep their businesses competitive. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., says he understands those economic issues, but his focus is on the main concern voiced by the social conservatives national security.<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">This is more economic gobbledygook bull shite. Frist should not even bow to deference on this ridiculous score. This does not keep employers competitive. It puts the few employers, who legally employ American citizens and legal aliens, out of business. If you want to eliminate the need for a minimum wage, you can use the same feedback mechanism used to eliminate inflation. They control inflation by regulating the money supply. You can regulate wages by controlling the labor supply. Build that wall. Control the rate of immigration. The wages will follow.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>The public appears to be more on the side of tougher border control. Three-quarters of respondents to a Time magazine poll in January said the United States is not doing enough to keep illegal immigrants from entering the country. Roughly the same amount said they favor a guest worker program for illegal immigrants, but 46 percent said those workers should have to return first to their native countries and apply. About 50 percent favored deporting all illegal immigrants.<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">And you can be sure, if those are the numbers came from a Time magazine poll, the real figure is more like 70-30 for deportation.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>"We've scheduled two weeks of debate," his spokeswoman said, underscoring the divisiveness of the issue.

Here's the AP Story, courtesy of Matt Drudge:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/12/20/D8EK6GGO9.html"></a><blockquote><a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/12/20/D8EK6GGO9.html">Mexico Retaliates for Border Wall Plan</a><br />By MARK STEVENSON<br />Associated Press Writer<br />Dec 20 3:23 PM US/Eastern</blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote>MEXICO CITY - The Mexican government, angered by a U.S. proposal to extend a wall along the border to keep out migrants, has struck back with radio ads urging Mexican workers to denounce rights violations in the United States. Facing a growing tide of anti-immigrant sentiment north of the border, the Mexican government is also hiring an American public relations firm to improve its image.</blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Take note how Mark describes it as Anti-immigrant, not Anti-ILLEGAL-immigrant sentiment. There's nothing like that nice, liberal PR firm approach to every problem. When that doesn't work, they will move on to the liberal courts and lawyers. Anything to keep out the actual voting citizens of the US.</span><br /><br /><blockquote> It's hard to underestimate the ill-feeling the proposal has generated in Mexico, where editorial pages are dominated by cartoons of Uncle Sam putting up walls bearing anti-Mexican messages.<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Uh... The <span style="font-style: italic;">ill feeling</span> is coming from the editorial pages, spewing the same crap you are writing here Mark. I can understand why they would feel bad about the end of the chuck wagon. Maybe this is a call to fix the Mexican government, not the US government.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>Many Mexicans, especially those who have spent time working in the U.S., feel the proposal is a slap in the face to those who work hard and contribute to the U.S. economy.<br /></blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Actually, the proposal is a well deserved, long overdue kick in the posterior. Hopefully the kick will bear enough friction breaking force, to eject their illegal carcasses out of our prisons and medical facilities.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>Fernando Robledo, 42, of the western state of Zacatecas, says the proposals could stem migration and disrupt families by breaking cross- border ties.</blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Bring out the scissors. I know one sure way of keeping those families together. Send them back to Mexico. Let them petition Vincente Fox to fix his own government and his own economy.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>"When people heard this, it worried everybody, because this will affect everybody in some way, and their families," Robledo said. "They were incredulous. How could they do this, propose something like this?"</blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Good fences mean good neighbors.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>Robledo, whose son and mother are U.S. citizens, predicted the measure "would unleash conflict within the United States" as small businesses fail for lack of workers.<br /></blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"><span style="font-style: italic;">Let them fail.</span> Prosecute those businessmen. They are depending on lawbreakers to round out their books. The liberals always whine about minimum wage. End the labor surplus and wages will rise.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>He said many Mexicans felt betrayed by the anti-immigrant sentiment.</blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Once again, Mark tries to alias the term anti-immigrant into an argument over ILLEGAL immigration.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>"We learned to believe in the United States. We have a binational life," he said of Zacatecas, a state that has been sending migrants north for more than a century. "It isn't just a feeling of rejection. It's against what we see as part of our life, our culture, our territory."<br /></blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Let illegals squat long enough, and they start declaring your home as </span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">their territory</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">. Mark presents the proof above.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>The government is scrambling to fight on two fronts. On Monday, it announced it had hired Allyn & Company, a Dallas-based public relations company to help improve Mexico's image and stem the immigration backlash.</blockquote><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">ILLEGAL immigration backlash. If we pull the drill out and perforate their skulls enough, maybe the point will sink in.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>Jose Luis Soberanes, head of the government's National Human Rights Commission, suggested Mexico go further.<br />"I would expect more energetic reactions from our authorities," Soberanes told local media. "It's preferable to have a more demanding government, more confrontation with the United States."<br /></blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">Yes. You just read that correctly. Jose Luis Soberanes is issuing a declaration of <span style="font-style: italic;">War</span> on us.</span><br /><br /><blockquote>"Had a labor accident in the United State? You have rights ... Call," reads the ad, sponsored by Mexico's Foreign Relations Department, which has helped migrants bring compensation suits in the United States.</blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">What did I say about fighting that war in the liberal court system, short circuiting our Constitution and voting process?</span><br /><br /><blockquote>The sense of dread connected with the measures is hardly restricted to Mexico. Immigrant advocacy and aid groups in the United States are worried about provisions of the House bill that upgrade unlawful presence in the United States from a civil offense to a felony.</blockquote><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">It</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"> is a felony</span><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">. It is a violation of federal law to be here illegally.</span><br /><blockquote>Mexicans are outraged by the proposed measures, especially the extension of the border wall, which many liken to the Berlin Wall. Some are urging their government to fight it fiercely.<br /><br />"Our president should oppose that wall and make them stop it, at all costs," said Martin Vazquez, 26, at the Mexico City airport as he returned from his job as a hotel worker in Las Vegas. "More than just insulting, it's terrible."<br /></blockquote><br /><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">There it is once again. A call for a <span style="font-style: italic;">declaration of war a</span>gainst us, for enforcing our law.</span>Insolubloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693379911278686634noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15008080.post-1135106240440491202005-12-20T11:10:00.000-08:002005-12-20T11:17:20.453-08:00Getting Hungry aren't they?World Tribune article on the increase in Chinese oil consumption:<br /><br /><blockquote><a href="http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/05/front2453724.9715277776.html">China now consumes more than 20 percent of oil supplies</a><br /> <br />Tuesday, December 20, 2005 LONDON — OPEC has revised its forecast and now envisions an increase in oil demand.

Post copied from Insolublog.<br /><br />He writes about the opinion of the economist John Rutledge, who is complaining about all the bad things which may happen as a result of China no longer pegging the Yuan against the US dollar. The Chinese will use a world currency basket instead. Mostly valued with, <span style="font-style: italic;">the dollar</span>!<br /><br />Insolublog could not disagree more. China's economy has been overheated for quite some time now. They have serious issues with their economy, their environment and their labor force. Just because things have been working well all this time, does not mean that a cliff is not fast approaching on the horizon.<br /><br />Look at the Enron, Worldcom and Global Crossing pyramid schemes which were revealed for the delicate houses of cards they were, when Greenspan tweaked up the rates. They railed at the Maestro for that, but think about all that real retirement money passing through the hands of all those exuberant, card shuffling fools. It could have been a much bigger bubble, with a much bigger explosion, had the sharp, balancing needle of a tight money supply not deflated it.<br /><br />UPDATE:<br /><br />A lot of people seem to think that the Chinese will somehow be magically transformed by the free market, into a benevolent democracy. <span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">This is pure bull feces</span>.<br /><br />They have a totalitarian communist government, fully loaded with all of the accessories. They have the worst of communism coupled with the worst of capitalism. They have an elite political power class, fully educated, which would put Kerry, Kennedy and all the beautiful people into servant's quarters.<br /><br />A true libertarian view would demand a level playing field. The currency fluid then seeks all the low spots proper. This is not the case with the Chinese government.<br /><br />They have been, and still are, gobbling up US Treasury bonds to artificially moderate the trade imbalance. They have an enormous slave labor pool with no pesky health and safety rules. They are traveling down the pollution path often traveled by burgeoning world powers, before they get the proper religion about poisoning themselves. Remember Chernobyl? That's what happens to a people, that have no Constitutional steam valve, to hold their political apparatus in check.<br /><br />How can the US truly compete? Well, we can't. The service sector is being short circuited. The Chinese are running off with our intellectual property, and laughing all the way to the bank. They marvel at our never ending thirst for their cheap crap. We cannot compete techically, because our educational system is being destroyed by political correctness. It's being compromised by a left wing group think attitude that spawns racist demagogues like Ward Churchill. The Chinese are only really interested in our technology. They consider our culture a heap of hedonistic garbage. Not that there's anything wrong with that!<br /><br />They are eagerly engaged in the process of building a domestic base of totalitarian driven consumerism. Check your free speech at the border. Look at the energy consumption meter. China and India are nipping at our heels. They are driving up the prices of the global energy markets.<br /><br />I'm waiting to see what we <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">can</span> and <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">will </span>do, when the Chinese want to pluck that Taiwan plum off the tree. They lust after the billions we have invested in computers, semiconductors and industrial process sciences. We only have two weapons. Nuclear war, or going bankrupt when they dump those bonds. Yeah, that'll show em.Insolubloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693379911278686634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15008080.post-1132166777559202542005-11-16T10:43:00.000-08:002005-11-16T10:46:17.573-08:00Chinese Spies in American Clothing<span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:black;"></span></span><blockquote><span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:black;">AP Los Angeles -52<br />Chinese-American engineer and two relatives who allegedly conspired to steal sensitive information about Navy warships and smuggle it to China.<br /></span></span> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:black;">Federal officials said Mak took computer disks from Anaheim defense contractor Power Paragon, where he was lead engineer on a sensitive research project involving propulsion systems for Navy warships.</span></span></p> <p> <span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:black;">He and his wife, Rebecca Laiwah Chiu, 62, then copied the information to CDs and delivered them to Tai Wang Mak, 56, who was scheduled to fly to Hong Kong on Oct. 28 with his wife, Fuk Heung Li, an FBI affidavit said.</span></span></p> </blockquote><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana,Sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:85%;color:black;"><a href="http://apnews.myway.com/article/20051116/D8DT7PR81.html">Story over at MyWay.</a><br /></span></span>Insolubloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02693379911278686634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15008080.post-1122907835263492772005-08-01T07:32:00.000-07:002005-08-04T23:12:58.370-07:00Welcome to Stealth of NationsIn the spirit of Adam Smith, I thought a blog which records a timeline of news snippets about countries employing naughty political/economic policy would be interesting.
