QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 12:46 PM) One of my co-workers has been here since the 80's. The country he came from hasn't existed in about 20 years. He's having a hell of a time trying to get his citizenship. does he have citizenship to any country?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 10:44 AM) I'm just wondering... has anyone in this forum ever actually seen the process up close, to get visas, green cards and eventually citizenship in the US? Because I have. I've had to deal with the lawyers and agencies to shuffle people who worked for me through the hoops. I have, many many times. Applied for H-1bs and L1s when I worked for a big blue chip tech firm that did tons of outsourcing. It was easy, every application was approved by USCIS and the DOL. Of course, no green cards for them. The point was for them to get trained and take the job to India or something. I also want to state that I don't agree with using immigration as weapon against workers, but when I was doing it I was a noob and didn't fully comprehend how s***ty it was to local workers. So I have changed my ways. Anyways, I think there is a massive back log for green cards to countries like India and China because each country only gets a certain amount. What is your experience?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 10:42 AM) Once of which is the one I stated - they generally come here with jobs. what kind of jobs? maybe train unemployed and under employed workers to do those.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 10:15 AM) Except that he's completely wrong. People who come here legally, typically have jobs to come to, or are family with those that do. So this idea that they are coming here and getting paid to live is ridiculous. Buchanan? Seriously? That guy is a clown. Buchanan is correct.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 09:20 AM) to be fair... if one candidate is giving me free healthcare and free student loans, well... i'd be a moron NOT to vote for him. don't you have to pay those student loans back? or by free do you mean loan forgiveness from Obama.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 09:20 AM) to be fair... if one candidate is giving me free healthcare and free student loans, well... i'd be a moron NOT to vote for him. care to comment on this, strangesox? i think it's time for you admit i was right.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 09:15 AM) No way. Bankruptcy is forever. They need a bailout. Obama can swoop in with a billion dollar check. win some more votes for the 2014 midterms.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 09:25 AM) and this, my friends, is a good thing. you better not let those union hostess bakers hear that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 15, 2012 -> 05:35 AM) Twinkies are clogging up our nation's arteries the Twinkie brand will simply be sold at auction, maybe to Bain Capital.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) That alone should knock down the cbo's projected health care costs. Deficit gone. don't be ridiculous. it will have no effect on that.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 08:44 PM) I just still can't figure out why republicans are losing the minority vote. Truly baffling. not enough free stuff probably. they aren't even offer free stuff to their own voters. explains the low turnout man. explains it totally to me.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 05:35 PM) Romney gets in on the "Obama gave stuff and things to the moochers who aren't Traditional Americans" meme http://2012.talkingpointsmemo.com/2012/11/...ection-loss.php so what. it's the free stuff era of politics. who will give out the most?! gimme gimme. and Romney only offered free stuff to his rich buddies. not enough of them to win.

QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Nov 12, 2012 -> 08:05 AM) Speaking about crybabies, I got this via email. WTF is going on in this country? http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/11/white-ho...from-19-states/ total madness. but i thought you guys wanted to ditch those states anyways?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 9, 2012 -> 07:07 PM) The part of the Voting Rights Act that makes Jim Crow states get any changes to their electoral process approved. It's been utilized numerous times to protect minority voting rights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights....94Preclearance seems outdated. the progressive in me thinks that rule should be lifted.
