Corrupt Mexico and complicit liberals

[Stan de SD]

Get an education, and you won't have to worry to much about the cheap

labor.

I have a college education (and a job too, before you make some other
smart-ass remark). Education is necessary, but it doesn't guarantee
anything anymore. Our standard of living is falling. "Educated" people
for years have been having to compete with less educated people for
jobs that offer ever decreacing benefits and job security. This is not
the fault of illegal aliens, it is the result of big business having
more and more control over our economic system,

It is the fault of big business only to the point to where they push for
more illegals. You're merely parroting the same old left-wing twaddle.

and an increasing
concentration of the wealth, money and power in the hands of a few at
the very top.

Money gets "concentrated" because some people have more marketable skills
than others. When we turn public education into an exercise in PC
indoctrination as opposed to teaching our kids useful skills, we wind up
with a generation that is less employable than their parents. When we let
our country become flooded with with people with little in the way of useful
job skills, not only do we depress wages at the bottom end of the economic
ladder, but we burden social services with more and more people who are more
likely to be net takers (users) than givers (taxpayers). I make no excuses
for the total sell-out of Bush and the spineless acquiescence of mainstream
Republicans on the illegal immigration issue, but at the same time I'm not
about to let the Dems and their liberal base get off the hook in this one.
Fact of the matter is that the left, unable to win over citizens to their
socialist-Marxist philosophy at the ballot box, are importing the type of
ignorant, uneducated, and resentful people that can be manipulated to vote
them in office by promising handouts extracted by working productive
citizens. It's the classic reason why democratic societies are eventually
destroyed, and the left is willing to do it in the name of power. :O|

Okay, let us go through what he stands for.
"Lopez Obrador believes in freedom of expression and religion.

Mexico

Foster tolerance, plurality equality and diversity, and Promote
transparency, accountability and human rights throughout the world."

How

is that going to help the people of Mexico

Tolerance, plurality, equality, and diversity won't help the people

of

Mexico? I think those ideas are good for all peoples myself, but

then

I'm

not some right-wing conservative. Hasn't it been U.S. rhetoric that

what

makes us great is that we attempt to spread such ideas throughout the
world?

Jobs will help the people of Mexico. All the tolerance, plurality,

equality

and diversity won't put food on the table.

I'm sure he loves god, country, mom and apple pie too (or whatever

the

Mexican equivalent of apple pie is).

Yes, this is how politicans talk, no matter what side of the fence

they

are on. Don't condem him of doing what every other politican does.
BUT, to say as

Tim did, "Once Lopez Obrador of the PRD wins the Presidency he will

do

something about that corruption and the poverty.", is incredibly
naive.
Sure he's against poverty and corruption. I have yet to hear a

politician

speak out in favor of poverty or corruption on either side of the

border.

You must not hear GW talk much. He may not say "I support poverty

and

corruption", but his policies indicate he does. He supports further
economic inequality by wanting to lower taxes on the wealthy even

more,

eliminating more regulations and oversite of big business,

eliminating

the

estate tax, and eliminating more social programs for the poor. He
supports government corruption by noting next to bills he signs from
Congress that he reserves the right to disobey them, by tapping our

phones

and internet without warrants, by erroding the FOA and other accesses
to
the government, and by criticizing the press and anyone else who

dares

to

say what his administration is up to.

This is real simple. The poorest in this country are poor because they

have

not taken advantage of the free eductation that is provided to all

citizens

of the United States. That is not a problem created by politicians, it
is

a

problem of those who did not take advantage of that free education.

I submit that the poor are also poor because they have low

expectiations,

little or no initiative, and have cultural values and attitudes that are
not
conducive to improving their economic situation. In a world where manual
labor is of increasingly less importance and basic communication skills
are
critical to getting and keeping a decent job, being unable or unwilling

to

learn English ensures that you will remain at the bottom of the economic
ladder.

That too.... But the key is to get an education....for most people....

The problem is what do you do when a group of people place no value in
education?
