134. Yeah, cause we hear so much about Canadians stealing "our " jobs
or people saying NAFTA was going to create a giant sucking sound from the north.

Haven't heard much about Germany or Britain taking "our" jobs. India seems to be the preferred target for that.

What a F***ing phrase " OUR jobs " give me a break.


History tells you all you need to know

"Irish Need Not Apply "
"Colored Only "
"Border Security "

The groups change, the accents and or language changes, what it is is the same.

Many of my people did not enter this country with the proper papers, and met the same thing, some were put in a military uniform and shipped out to kill people, some were simply locked in a building and worked for 80 to 100 hours a week, but they wanted to be here bad enough and wanted the dream offered by this country that they risked their lives to get here, risked them once again when they got here and in the end helped build this place into what it is. I guess my family's Irish accent is accepted now? But I could be wrong, who knows what immigrant group will be targeted next by the NeoWhigs.

And now people tell me that I am supposed to support picking people up off the street and sending them "home" , I'm told that I should want them to speak English because, I guess they are supposed to speak it just because.

Sorry, but there but for the Grace of God go I
