Be kind to the tofu, eat lots of turkey!

X-rays were kind to him in the airports?

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Nov 24, 2010 -> 03:00 PM) The villains in this argument are not the people who risk a lot to come here illegally to take these jobs that Americans are being priced out of. They are the employers who are deciding to break the law in the name of unfettered capitalism. Changing the constitution to penalize the people coming to benefit from employers who have already made the decision to exploit the rules of our labor system won't change the core problem. It just means you create a permanent underclass. You've been making two arguments simultaneously which don't seem to gel for me. Either these undocumented residents are taking jobs Americans want and would have, and are therefore making a positive contribution to society at sub poverty wages, or they are all just here to take advantage of our social net. (And if that was the case, why wouldn't they just keep driving north to Canada where that social net is far more robust?) I don't understand how people doing honest work for low wages exploit our system when they can't ask for things like workmen's comp, vacation pay, sick days, benefits without risking their livelihood and their residency. And if all these people are just coming to take advantage of Social Security or Medicaid or whatever, I don't understand how they would be exploiting our labor market. And if its a two pronged attack, wouldn't the half that works and won't take advantage for fear of losing their residency cancel out the people who lean on the system in the first place? My solution actually punishes the employers who hire illegals.

That is a great win by the Bulls tonight. Rose almost had a triple double, and Noah taking the ball away from Nash tonight, twice, was spectacular.

Ugly up here with the sleet

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Nov 24, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) Is there a source for this or did you ask him directly? Todays Chicago Tribune.

Quite noble of you, I must say.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 24, 2010 -> 11:25 AM) Heh. Reminds me of Bill Brasky from the old SNL skits. Some legendary guy we never actually meet here. Well maybe if you chased blackwood a little harder... [snicker]

According to Mark Gonzales of the Trib, The Sox did have discussions with Martinez's agent, but they never made a formal to their camp.

Occasionally illegal immigration works out, huh?

My bad.

Likely in real life, he is a bigger ass. I'm talking J-Lo

Just the same, it is difficult to read bitter sarcasm on the computer.

ha-ha isn't really where I was going with that.

Funny thing about unemployment is that you are always off of work

Damned phone menus... I hate them.

As long as the Marlins aren't in the race...

Aha, so I should be afraid?

You went back to before you even joined to research my 27th post? Do I need a restraining order?
