Federalization of the National Guard under DHS without an act of Congress?

[norml]

Poll question: Federalization of the National Guard under DHS without an act of Congress?

Setting things up for Dubya's speech on Monday, some clown on Faux News just said it's entirely legal, and within his powers to do so.


Federalization of the National Guard under DHS without an act of Congress?

For or Against?

1. Is there anything *the asshole can't do?

[woodsprite]

2. Or is there anything that the "Powers that be" in this adminstration

consider of value enough that they stop him from screwing it up or corrupting it? Does he have'em all by the balls?

3. Anything under DHS

is a prbblem. Federalization of the Guard has happened many times before. They are in Iraq right now.

4. i'd rather they patrol our borders

than be sent to iraq as cannon fodder. it's a crime that we tear civilians away from their jobs and families....many have died defending oilfields for the criminal bush cronies.

5. The Cons want Slaves: (The Truth Behind Their Mexican Bashing Nonsense)

They want to bring in even more workers from poorer countries, to take whatever jobs they can't ship away.

They want what they call a "guest worker" program, in order to be able to bring in even more people from poorer countries, and to be able to treat them as badly or worse than they are being treated now, but to be able to do it officially.

All this nonsense about getting tough on the border, or about getting tough on the "illegals", is just cover their selling of "guest worker" as the solution to the "illegals" problem.

Even though the right wing media clowns get hit down hard by a few of the less comatose Fweeperland Flavor-Aid drinkers, for pushing "guest worker", and for saying stupid insulting stuff like "These are jobs Americans won't do.", they keep on pushing it, most often now by lining up the scripted shills they call "callers" to make the sales pitch for them.

I've mentioned the solution before, fines for those that employ non-citizens, or non-green card holders.

If on the other hand there's really a shortage of people in this country, a genuine shortage of workers, then make more people citizens.

Having a class of people who are either officially, or un-officially exploitable, degrades us all.

Don't blame them.

Blame those who would have slaves.
