1. that's how it's done. too bad we can't have as clear a policy as chile

n/t

2. Chile's business community is not recruiting a cheap foreign labor force

as the American business community are doing.

Chile has enough of its own cheap labor force and their business elites already have plenty to choose from.

[acmavm]

5. We got a pretty large, home grown, cheap labor force ourselves. It's called

unemployed, or underemployed, or laid off Americans.

[Robbien]

7. Yeah, but our business elites like the cheaper foreign labor force

our cheap labor force believes it has some worker rights in the work place such as not being locked in at night, or the right of actually being paid on paydays.

[Codedonkey]

16. hahaha yeah right.

American born Americans are too lazy to do anything that requires any real effort.

[acmavm]

18. Well lookey what we got here. A real jackass, bray and all.

[Codedonkey]

21. hehehe

17. and prisoners. don't forget prisoners

Man, I wish I could hire me out some prisoners. I'd have them do the lawn, do my laundry, cuddle with me...

8. carabineros

Chile, like almost every other nation on Earth has a National ID card. If the card is not produced or does not check out, the Carabineros will toss you out quickly.

[Cleita]

12. Yep. They used to stop me regularly when I lived there

asking me for my carnet. I looked like a foreigner to them because of my American made clothes.

9. this is americans taking good jobs, not "cheap labor" jobs

these local guiding jobs can make a real difference to locals and while i do know american guides who work in other countries, they work with the gov'ts and with local guides on the ground to make sure that the local people benefit from having the eco-tourists

if you are going to be an outfitter or guide in a foreign land, you need to be willing to work with the proper authorities and prove that you are doing something of benefit to the local economy

one of the men is named as an outfitter, well, he should have known that you make sure to use local guides as part of your operation and keep local people earning and learning as a result of your tours

[Robbien]

11. Yeah, these guys deserved to be deported

believing they could do it on the cheap by scamming the Chilean government.

[DBoon]

15. Just wait

our government is trying very hard to make us a cheap labor force.

Some day USA citizens will be fleeing across to border to get paying jobs

You do know the EU has now surpassed the US as the #1 economic power?

As our currency becomes cheaper and cheaper, we become worth less and less

3. You mean like Chile had with tanks rolling in the streets and people being disappeared?

10. The President of Chile was imprisoned and tortured, along with her mother, and her father, who died

in prison during that time, as a political enemy who didn't support the U.S.-supported, and Richard Nixon directed fascist coup. She doesn't have anything in common with the U.S. chosen, maintained and supported butcher/puppet dictator, Augusto Pinochet.

[OhioChick]

20. Agreed. n/t

[bluerum]

4. damn illegals,,,,

6. The country of birth of of the US Unauthorized Immigrant Population is less than 1% from Chile

Mexico 57%
El Salvidor 4%
Guatemala 4%

[Lasher]

14. No, I guess that would be SAFTA if it ever comes to pass. n/t

19. Gee. When Cuba does the exact same thing the DU Castrophobes come out screaming "fascism'.

No hypocrisy to see here. Move along.
