Trade, Immigration Top N. America Summit

http://www.mexiconomics.info/ for a logical analysis from the Mexican view.

 

You're welcome, Rocko9. And, billwald, all I know is there are a bunch of Mexicans working at McDonalds up the street and they never get my order right. At the KFC, under Hispanic management, we got chicken livers that were as hard as marbles and we couldn't eat them because they had sat under the heat lamps for so long (against the corporate rules, which say to discard after 15 minutes of heat lamp time). When I called the manager to complain, she said, "oh, they must have been old." No kidding. Their standards are definitely substandard than what American consumers are used to, so if they can't get it "right" in this country, why should anyone believe they have standards that are up to par in their own country. It's a known fact for anyone who cares to research it, that quality standards are not up to par (for my liking anyway) in third world countries - their cultures are significantly different and their standards of living are different, as well.

Besides all that, I really don't care what they think South of the Border and whether Micky D sales are down in Mexico because we might happen (although quite unlikely) to secure our borders.

 

I think we can pretty much gue$$ the an$wer to that one, poncho.

 

" Nothing is going to slow the elimination of the American middle class."

Who will buy mexican jelly beans or anything
manufactered in mexico and the US?

Take the middle bricks out of the pyramid, and
the top portion will most assuredly fall.

 

Update on Wal-Mart jelly beans:

These are NOT found in the Easter candy aisles, though, just in the regular candy aisle:

Great Value jelly beans (fruit flavor, no spice) are made in Canada. That's permissible to me, I'll eat them from our neighbors to the north.

Gimbals (established 1898) gourmet jelly beans are still made in the USA. I actually like them better than Jelly Bellies.

(Note: Jelly Bellies are now made in Mexico).

So are Starburst, Brachs, Brochs, and other familiar American brand names.

Almost bought some Whopper bird eggs, but the package says they are a product of Mexico. Put them back and settled for a box of Russell Stover white chocolate creams (Product of USA).

 

The 'generic' Jelly Beans I bought at Wal-mart in Barnwell *were* a product of mexico!

CHECK ALL LABELS - EVERY PURCHASE

Knorr chicken soup mix (dry packet) and I believe, it is Wylers (boullion cubes) are made in Mexico. (God only knows what conditions those chickens live in and what they feed them...)

Herb Ox boullion cubes are made in the USA.

You have to read some of the Bird's Eye frozen vegetable packages, too - Product of Mexico...

 

Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread, poncho.

 

"American candy employees have lost thousands of jobs to south of the Border because of cheap labor."

The first migration of labor was from the unionized northern states to the scab southern states. The Old South (excepting Texas) was our source of cheap labor ever since Lincoln's War.

There is no hope of maintaining our middle class unless the working class reorganizes but this won't happen until the worker's economy gets much worse.

Why? Why is it that the only growing unions are govt workers? Because the rest have been brain washed into the American free spirit concept - anyone can grow up to be president. Onlt govt workers are sufficiently smart to realize that the typical worker can't grow up to be president or to negotiate a labor contract with an international corporation.

 

The middle class is doomed, billwald, you and I both know it. The face of America is changing into a third-world country right before our eyes. I'm watching my neighborhoods in my city being trashed daily by people who don't even legally belong in this country.

From Joseph Farah of WND:

 

Me and millions of Americans got no sympathy from
many illegal and legal immigrants when we got a
pink slip and could no longer afford to feed our
families. I don't put all the blame on corporations as the protesters claim to be regular folk that are fighting for injustice. What they really mean is hispanic injustice. And like corporations, the protesters are exploiting decent, law abiding American citizens and are just as guilty.

 

Maybe he isn't aware of these facts. If you care to post links as to the corporations who are on the board of directors of MECHA and the like, I'll personally see to it that he gets that information to pass along to his readers.

 

Joseph Farah is one of the good guys.

 

"My point is that the MSM knows that organizations like NCLR and MEChA have boards of advisors that are made up of major corporations."

Most Americans are aware of these special interest groups that lobby so they can earn money. The MSM has informed it viewership of these groups. My point is, there is no excuse-not even the MSM-for cutting the throats of the ones that have welcomed immigrants for years, educated their children and given them healthcare.

Blame the media, corporations and the government. The fact still remains that latino workers are taking jobs from regular Americans without any sympathy for them and their families yet scream injustice in massive numbers for their cause while supporting the very ones that exploit them.

Are we seeing these protests because latinos are losing jobs too? Did their friendly corporations price themselves out of the labor market
because it cost them more than what it's worth?

" Neither Mexicans or Americans stand to benefit from this."

As this is America and not mexico, illegal mexicans should not stand to benefit from anything in the US. Their insistant demands fall on deaf ears.

"Who's pulling strings of illegal alien activists? CFR globalists, Ford Foundation, Soros among puppeteers"

Are you saying that illegals don't realize taking away a job from an American has no impact? And if anyone blames the above, they should march back to mexico and get away from these "puppeteers".

I want my job back!
