As for spending time on the phone with tech people in India, I don't think it was the Mexican people in California, legal or not, who decided to outsource those jobs!
BTW, how have you been?
Alan I'm doing o.k., how about you?
I'm just really frustrated that we give more to those who don't pay into the system, than to those who do. I think if you want to bring up native americans, or go back further in history you can, but it doesn't solve any current problems, that need to be addressed now. It seems if you want to argue, you can, but it doesn't correct our current problems with our system. Once the U.S. formed as a country, and established laws as such, then this nation laid down rules of living here. I think, we could go back in history to an infinite point showing exploition, concuring, slavery etc.. that are wrong and unjust, but it won't help our current situation, our school systems, the high unemployment rate or poor. If we blantantly ignore laws, then we promote anarchy. Yes some laws don't make sense, and are the problem to begin with. Tonight a couple flew in to california, from overseas and had a baby, they claimed the wife wasn't due for 10 weeks yet. That baby is now a citizen, and as such protected by the very system, that will garnish a U.S. citizen's wages for the rest of their life to pay for the same services, these people just recieved for free. If you don't see the problem in this, then you are either not paying taxes, or are independantly wealthly and aren't strugling to make ends meet.
Like I said before, I don't begrudge people seeking a better life, but I do have a problem with them steeling peoples Social security numbers, driving uninsured, and using our hospitals and schools illegally.
