The INS is killing the American middle class and is taking its toll on the upper classes as well. Our immigration and export policies are so short sighted and incredibly stupid, Bush should be impeached for allowing them to go on at all...and that is only the tip of the iceberg, as INS is a wholesale failure at enforcing its own regulations and prohibitting entry to anyone determined to get here and work.
It was bad enough 20 years ago when the agency was merely a huge human rights violation, allowing the agro industry to 'import' workers from impoverished areas of the world, pay them next to nothing, house them like animals, deny them all access to social services, etc, and then promptly deport them at the end of the harvest -- but now it is ALL of us who are at risk. Everyone's job can be exported.....with very few exceptions.
What the hell is wrong with us? Why are we allowing this to go on? Why are there no protests...no marches on DC...no outright riots? Are we so blind?
And all the while my livilehood and those of my friends continues to be curtailed by protectionistic tactics at the state level. What I was trained to do in Ohio I could not do in Florida without a huge expenditure, and what one of my friends was trained to do in Maine, he cannot even spend into in Ohio under any circumstances.
