BTW - Lindsey Graham would be a useless SOB regardless of his party. Nonetheless, he called it as he saw it. Unless the republicans can figure out how to appeal to minorities, women, and youth, they are going to be in serious trouble in fifteen years or so, because the base s going to die off faster than they can be replaced. Anyone who knows anything about statistics and polling can figure this out pretty quickly.

I don't have any links. What I said is that it has been my "experience" that it is mostly smaller companies that hire illegal aliens although certainly there are some larger companies owned by a Democrat also. How does that equate to me associating with a lot of Democrats? I cannot tell if a person is here illegally. Where did I say that I did?

The only way that the Republicans can appeal to minorities and more women is to embrace socialism, become amnesty advocates and pro-abortion. As for youthful voters they haven't lived long enough to know what is good for this country and what is bad. They tend to think with emotionalism and are too impressionable especially with today's so-called progressive mindset. If the GOP embraced all of the above they would just become Democrats and conservatives would have no party to pick from. Is that the kind of country that we want?

The American Indians indigenous to the U.S. were all born here. They aren't foreign born. To stay on topic here if all of the foreign born were gone from this country it wouldn't mean much because we already have millions of citizens here whose ancestors came from a foreign country but their descendants were born here. We have already formed a melting pot of all of those cultures including ethnic foods, etc. One positive thing is that most of their descendants have assimilated to our dominant culture and language over the years. Not all but most.

These include: the immigrant scientists, engineers, computer geniuses, landscapers, restaurant workers, wonderful people, criminals and, legal and illegal residents. Everyone who was born overseas leaves tomorrow.

Would this eventually be good for America because we would all speak a common language and share a common culture, or bad for America because we would lose the skills and talents of the foreign born residents? Your thoughts.

When you say it has been your experience, I expect that you Know these owners and how they run their businesses. If you make a statement that you want me to presume is factual, I expect that you have some sort of source for your opinion or that you have verifiable data.

If not, all that is left is raw opinion. I am not much given to believing anything that anyone says just because they say it. I try to do my homework. That is why I asked for links. If you know something I don't, educate me.

Many parts of the US, especially "small town America" usually DON'T have many kinds of eating places. It is what it is.

I'd be OK with kicking out all of the illegals and most of the H1-Bs in IT, and slapping a moratorium on further H1-Bs until unemployment is under 5%.
