It happened in meatpacking, which used to be a good job with union pay and bennies, and then in carpentry, which also used to be a great blue-collar job but is now one of those "jobs Americans won't do," since the wages dropped by half, thanks to peon labor. <BR/><BR/>And so on. The corporate elite sends as many jobs as possible overseas and then imports slave labor to do the few jobs that remains. And you apparently have no problem with this.<BR/><BR/>But then, you are so filled with sympathy for the oppressed somewhere else that you can't be bothered with the ones closer to home.

Your all speaking out of fear. Just a couple questions:<BR/><BR/>1. How many of you proffess to be Christians? Very Christianlike to send these poor people back to their shithole country because they weren't fortunate to be born on this side of a line. <BR/><BR/>2. Who would you rather have? The guy who risks it all and makes the very tough journey to a country where people treat him like shit just so he can make money and take care of his family or the spoiled brats we're currently raising here. <BR/><BR/> <BR/>3. What would the "real" prices of most of our services and goods be if we deported all this labor. Yes it would drive up wages for the workers but destroy a lot of businesses in the process and make prices escelate. <BR/><BR/>And lastly...who is more likely to take you in...a mexican in the usa in need or an american in mexico in need. Having travelled extensively in every latin country I can tell you it aint the american helping a latino out. It's applicable to this arguement if you really think about it. <BR/><BR/>I could go on and on but I'm sure I'm already wasting my energy. Just wanted another view heard here. Unfortunately all the negative energy you guys put into this nonsensical (yes because we're all immigrants here) debate is only hurting yourselfs. <BR/><BR/>cheers from an Arian in So.

The measure was approved earlier by the lower house.<BR/><BR/>Under the legislation, police will not penalize people for possessing up to 5 grams of marijuana, 5 grams of opium, 25 milligrams of heroin or 500 milligrams of cocaine.<BR/><BR/>People caught with larger quantities of drugs will be treated as narcotics dealers and face increased jail terms under the plan.<BR/><BR/>The legal changes will also decriminalize the possession of limited quantities of other drugs, including LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, amphetamines and peyote -- a psychotropic cactus found in Mexico's northern deserts.<BR/><BR/>Hundreds of people, including several police officers, have been killed in the past year as drug cartels battle authorities and compete with each other for control of lucrative cocaine, marijuana and heroin smuggling routes from Mexico into the United States.<BR/><BR/>The violence has raged mostly in northern Mexico but in recent months has spread south to cities like vacation resort Acapulco.<BR/><BR/>Under current law, it is up to local judges and police to decide on a case-by-case basis whether people should be prosecuted for possessing small quantities of drugs, a source at the Senate's health commission told Reuters.<BR/><BR/>"The object of this law is to not put consumers in jail, but rather those who sell and poison," said Sen. Jorge Zermeno of the ruling National Action Party.<BR/><BR/>Fifty-three senators voted for the bill with 26 votes against it.<BR/><BR/>Hector Michel Camarena, an opposition senator from the Institutional Revolutionary Party, warned that although well intentioned, the law may go too far.<BR/><BR/>"There are serious questions we have to carefully analyze so that through our spirit of fighting drug dealing, we don't end up legalizing," he said. "We have to get rid of the concept of the (drug) consumer."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1146257451051374302006-04-28T21:50:00.000+01:002006-04-28T21:50:00.000+01:00If you live in a major city and are thinking anout...If you live in a major city and are thinking anout eating out on May 1 fuggetaboutit ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1146237133249351892006-04-28T16:12:00.000+01:002006-04-28T16:12:00.000+01:00Who is the "we" that are getting rich?
