>- So not only should we be forced to lose jobs to outsourcing, we should be force to lose jobs to illegals?

Well you lose skilled jobs to outsourcing but menial back-breaking work to illegals, that no-one else wants to do. Similarly in England, the fruit harvests are done by not-too-many-questions-asked eastern Europeans. The hop-picking in Kent, back in the day, was done by poor London east-enders and itinerant gypsies, C'est la vie.

I'm not sure the stone throweres are the same that would like to live there.

Can't comment

Yes, because it IS so difficult. Read Dragan's account in today's posts. Even to an Englishman, that special relationship amounts to ziltch unless he's a famous pop or film star. And if he ever picked up a commie newspapaer, or stole a chocolate bar and was caught - forget it!

Like the old Neil Sedaka song ... "There was a time when strangers were welcom here" :-)
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
