Obama wants to kill vets!

Why not consider "illegal immigrants' from a free market standpoint. This IS the United States, the supposed epitome of capitalism and free markets.

Large corporations/multi-nationals make full use of the free movement of capital, and thereby can access the world's pool of labor in an efficient manner. For example, any corporation that manufactures in China has very low labor costs, no benefits/health packages to pay, little or no environmental restrictions, little or no tax to pay, etc. The result is cheap products for consumers, nice profits for the company, and really nice earnings for the top executives.
Since the communications revolution a lot of office type work also can and has been outsourced. Same result.

In a like manner a truly free market in labor could be instituted in this country.
Think of it as INSOURCING.

1) Guest workers allowed in on time limited contracts.
2) No access to citizenship.
3) Marriage to a U.S. national not permitted.
4) Any children born here to a guest worker have no right to stay in the U.S.
5) Minimal health care. You get sick/injured, go home.
6) Abolish the minimum wage.

With the above system, small businesses could avail themselves of the benefits that big businesses have been enjoying for years. And legally.

Say you own a lawn care company. Imagine how much more money you could make if employees only cost $1-$2 an hour? (And with this new system, it would be legal!)

And why the hell do fast food joints have to pay kids so much, when people from any 3rd world slum would kill for the chance to work for food?

Or you run a D.Z. :-
Import seasonal staff from any poor country.
Packer :- $1 per sports/student rig; $2 per tandem rig.
Tandem or AFF instructor :- maybe $5-$10 a jump. (And use small people from Asia or Central America, to maximize aircraft capacity.)
S/L, IAD instructor :- haven't figured that yet.
Pilot :- maybe $100/week.
Office staff, etc. :- cheap.
Result :- cheaper jumps for everyone, and at last a realistic profit for the DZO..

EVERYONE WINS !
(If you are a wannabe instructor, and from the U.S., suck it up. You are a capitalist, aren't you?)

Health Care:- We could damn well dramatically reduce costs by getting rid of most of the overpaid doctors, nurses, etc., and replacing them with contract workers from the 3rd world.

Yep. Just about any job could be INSOURCED. What an even greater country this would be.

Bill, your thread title is wrong. No one is saying Obama wants to kill vets.

So you admit that breathtakingly stupid political spin is breathtakingly stupid. That's a good First Step.

So do you have a comment on the issue, or are you once again focused on me? I'm happily married, ya know.
