5. Are you suggesting Americans are too lazy to work?

There are millions of jobless Americans who will gladly work but unfortunately their jobs are being sent off to China, India and handed over to Mexicans and there is not a DAMN thing they can do about it. :mad:

[MSgt213]

6. Yes. Americans are too lazy too work for a living wage.

8. Americans won't work for slave wages

Real Americans, that is. Bedwetting conservatives might, if they're desperate, or if their pastors say they'll get to heaven if they work long hours for slave wages.

2. Nope, * would contract it out to Halliburton who would hire illegals

to do it because they work cheaper.

3. as Farm Workers who work and live on Public Farms?

Taking care of their own needs and making a living off of Truck Farming.

4. Because they would be a reminder

that average Americans are better at government jobs than Chimpy's peeps.

7. Cheap. Funds go to people - maybe even Democrats. This way

the defense contractors get the money.

"Bush budget scraps 9,790 border patrol agents --Bush uses law's escape clause to drop funding for new homeland security force 09 Feb 2005 Officially approved by President Bush on Dec. 17 after extensive bickering in Congress, the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006. Roughly 80 percent of the agents were to patrol the southern U.S. border from Texas to California... But Bush's proposed 2006 budget, revealed Monday, funds only 210 new border agents."
