4. Isn't a moritorium usually a period of forgivness for something?

legal immigrants have nothing to be forgiven for.

6. True. A moratorium would be a time out for FURTHER immigrattion.

It would not be a punishment directed at those already here legally.

3. Bay Buchanan needs to stop spreading falsehoods about bringing nurses in

this country to fill spots for nursing jobs. It was known in the 80's that we needed to have more schools for nurses. Thom is right on this. That is what they need to do, but they wont. Why? Because nursing jobs are filled more cheaply by foreign nurses.... It keeps the nursing wages down. This is a prime example where capitalism mantra about price is created by demand.... The corporate owners can't compete so they cheat....

5. Bay is thinking nurse maids, surely.

I'm so damned glad Thom didn't have a video feed... hearing her gaspy voice was bad enough.
