Mood: It's a Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Day

[*] posted on 8-18-2010 at 10:32 PM
Keeping the Pot Stirred


Until November, at least.

Although the economy, or lack of it, will be the number one factor by a wide margin, every other hot-button issue that might bring out the Dissatisfied voter is important. With unemployment guaranteed to remain around 9.5 well into the future, a substantial element of that dissatisfaction will be over Illegal workers.

Who knows ? Given a little luck, we may have another outrage of some sort involving an illegal alien and stoking the fire hotter.

With almost every "Swing" race determined by less than three percent, every little bit helps.

And, success in November will shake up the ship for 2012. Obama might not be Clinton, but like all who end up in that office, self-preservation is a strong motivator.

Let's HOPE for CHANGE.

To me it's just about jobs. In my area my 20 year old daughter and her friends have a hard time finding and keeping jobs because a lot of the entry level jobs are filled by illegals. When i was a kid I picked cantelopes in Yuma, was a busyboy, a yardman, worked in hamburger joints, etc. Those jobs were parlayed to better jobs due to having a job history of experience and work ethic. Now I am retiring comfortably. If I did not work in my teens and early 20s in those entry-level jobs, I'm 100% sure I would not be where I am today. There are millions of others who took entry level jobs in their teens and used that experience to move up the ladder.

Today those jobs are not available in numbers adequate for our kids to get their 1st or 2nd jobs. No job, no experience, begets no jobs. It's a "catch 22". Therefore let's get all the illegals workers out of those jobs and open them up to our kids and the unemployed. There are millions of "99 weekers" in the USA today. Those are the unemployed who have received 99 weeks of unemployment and are no longer eligible for it. I'm sure they will make a hotel room's bed vs. being homeless. If cost go up so be it. Let the market rise to the true value of the task performed.

It's also not fair that we exploit many of these illegal workers in the USA with low wages and horrid living conditions (in canyons in our area) and it is especially not fair to our kids. Don't forget these kids are what is going to fund your SSI retirement in the future not illegal workers working for cash or a pitance of what they are worth.
