Yeah Obama, I want to work a job planting grass on a mall! Take away my job at the lumber yard, and give me one planting grass like a Mexican. Thanks Obama.

Good God! Who's taking away your job?

The Mexican's are taking away his job at the lumber yard cause they said they don't need the retirement plan or the health insurance.

Frankly, I don't understand the logic of that argument. There aren't a lot of unskilled laborer jobs in construction these days. If the majority of the jobs component is about rebuilding and repair infrastructure, those jobs will be going to carpenters, ironworkers, electricians, plumbers, and heavy equipment operators. One of my clients is one of the locals for the ironworkers, frankly, I would be more than happy to earn what their journeymen makes in a year.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Clinton closed years of political and economic debate Tuesday, and sealed a major achievement of his administration by signing a bill extending permanent, normal trade status to China.

President Clinton has told Congress he plans to renew China's trading privileges with the United States.
The President's decision comes despite allegations of Chinese espionage against US nuclear facilities and continuing concerns in Congress over Beijing's human rights record.

The unskilled jobs go more to illegals because as the illegal supporters like to say, "It's jobs that Americans wont do". Come here and I will take you to any construction site and I'd bet you that nine out of ten of the workers don't speak english. I understand that does not prove they are illegal, but I'd also bet you most of them are.

Would rather be standing in the bread line with your hand-out or would you rather have one of these unskilled labor jobs? 30 years ago most people would have taken the job, nowdays people would rather have the handout.

They had access to the same info. If they didn't, they shouldn't have made the claims!!!!

As I've posted many times before, several separate investigations showed that the Bush administration did not "fabricate" facts. You are fabricating that "fact!!!!"
