Green cards are for non -citizens.  It\u2019s a permit to stay in US to work and live.  It should be obvious that citizens with passports or proof of citizenship don\u2019t need it.  A little research please.\r\n\r\nUS citizens can go in and out of Mexico freely because very few Americans stay in Mexico and work illegally.  By the way, on Mexico\u2019s southern border, where many Central Americans cross over illegally to take jobs in Mexico, the Mexican government has deployed its Army. Yes, unlike the US, Mexico uses its Army to police its borders.\r\n\r\nThere is a legal way for Mexicans to enter the US just as there is for Irish, Egyptian and everyone else.  However, these are harder to get.  One problem with illegal workers is that it restricts the number of legal workers and immigrants permitted into the US. \r\n\r\nYour statement on low cost labor is the key issue.  I prefer to call it exploitative labor.  It is not try however, that Americans won't do this work.  We just won't - or can't afford to - do this work for the exploitative wages that illegals get.  In NYC where the sanitation department is a tight civil service union, only legal residents can apply and application for garbage men positions was so high that a lottery to merely apply was held.  Its the same work - picking up garbage that illegals may be doing elsewhere but the wages are not exploitative.  So, Americans will do this work but not for the exploitative wages of illegals.  \r\n\r\nFor this reason Progressives should strongly oppose illegal immigration.  These I-Is are \u2018allowed\u2019 in because of big business influence \u2013 they want the cheap exploitative wages.  Stop illegal immigration, open a sane and liberal immigration and guest worker policy and stop this wage exploitative.  By the way, an indication of business\u2019 role in encouraging illegals is the fact that companies that hire illegals rarely get a strong punishment.\r\n\r\nI freely admit that these arguments about non-exploitative wages collapse if you, Kate, are arguing for free, open and unfettered immigration rules on a moral basis \u2013 in other words totally open borders.  There is a strong moral argument for this.  However, the reality of it is harsh.  Jimmie Carter, a big supporter of the Carribean Initiative indicated that the US could empty the carribean in a week.  To do so would mean the American people, including you Kate, accepting a radically changed lifestyle.    I\u2019m still pondering this. \r\n","author":"Alexian B","parent_id":6998,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2002-11-19 15:13:35","modified":"2013-11-10 23:47:00","fileurl":""},{"id":7007,"heading":"NOT BIGOT, BUT CITIZENS TIRED OF ILLEGALS","article":"\r\n Oh yes!

Laughlin, Frederick Osborn and textile magnate Wickliffe Draper were the principle founders.1 The Fund's stated purpose was to \"improve the character of the American people\" by encouraging the procreation of descendants of \"white persons\" and to provide aid in conducting research on \"race betterment with special reference to the people of the United States.\"2 The current president of the Pioneer Fund is a shadowy figure named Harry F. Weyher, a financier and corporate lawyer who eschews interviews and runs the Fund without pay or staff from his offices in New York; he is assisted in his work by four other \"Trustees\" - one of whom has been Tom Ellis, a close associate of Pat Robertson and Tim LaHaye in the Council on National Policy (CNP), the principle coordinating agency in bringing together various members of the religious right with the business right and the political right. All serve without pay and staff. \r\nThe Pioneer Fund has assets of about $5-million and gives away most of its $1-million in annual income to a dozen or more scholars from Northern Ireland to California who study IQ and genetics. The Pioneer Fund supported a significant portion of the research cited in the recent best-selling book on race and intelligence, The Bell Curve, by Richard J. Herrnstein, a Harvard University psychologist who died in September 1994, and Charles Murray, a political scientist at the American Enterprise Institute. In the billion dollar world of philanthropy, the money doled out by the Pioneer Fund may seem paltry. But the numbers don't tell the real story of the Fund's influence. \"The Pioneer Fund has been able to direct its resources like a laser-beam,\" says one critic, Barry Mehler, a historian at Ferris State University who has been gathering information on it since the 1970s. \"I credit the Fund for being a major factor in the present resurgence of the biological-determinism movement - a factor that is far out of proportion to the amount of funds it has.\"3 \r\n\r\nAll of the men connected to the estab-lishment of the Fund were admirers of Adolf Hitler. They believed unequivocally in white superiority and held that it (i.e., white supremacy) derived from \"the evolutionary process.\" They were motivated to establish the Fund by what they considered to be the overwhelming \"success\" of the Nazi eugenics policy6 - a startling defamation, but one which is easily documented. Take Harry Laughlin, the Fund's most energetic early personality, for example: in May 1936, Dr. Carl Schneider, a professor of \"racial hygiene\" at the University of Heidelberg and dean of the school's faculty of medicine (and who, incidentally, also served as a \"scientific adviser\" for the extermination of handicapped people in Germany) offered Laughlin an honorary degree of \"Doctor of Medicine.\" Laughlin was deeply moved; he enthusiastically replied, \"I stand ready to accept this very high honor. Its bestowal will give me particular gratification ... To me this honor will be ... valued because it comes from a nation which for many centuries nurtured the human seed stock which later founded my own country and thus gave basic character to our present lives and institutions.\"7 \r\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ","author":"Ronald Z Clown","parent_id":6998,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2001-05-30 03:21:58","modified":"2001-05-30 04:00:01","fileurl":""},{"id":7077,"heading":"So far, no argument on principle","article":"The previous response t omypost only seeks to call into question a single entity, one of many, that support various organization, possibly including F.A.I.R. and C.C.I.R.\r\n\r\nThe person posting this bellythunder drivel fails time and again to plainly and openly state his own position, in opposition to what I have offered up very clearly myself, as being opposed to both the sovereignty of ALL nations, and the right of citizen inhabitants of such sovereign nations to democratically govern their own internal affairs, including the establishment of immigration policies, according to their own values and national priorities. \r\n\r\nWhile he points to Hitler and the Nazis as being nationalists, rabidly supporting sovereignty for Germany and it's citizens, he fails to make the critical distinction, that I support the sovereignty of ALL nations, whereas Nazi Germany, and imperial Japan obviously did not.\r\n\r\nThat IS a rather critical distinction, to say the least.\r\n\r\nChoosing to intentionally ignore such important distinctions, and failing to clearly state his own position, his motivation to smear, misdirect, and otherwise misinform the readers of his posts, is a clear indication of what this is really all about.
