The History of Illegal Immigration (In a Couple of Minutes)

Glenn Beck hosts a brief, informative cartoon on the history of Mexican illegal immigration to the US.

So in summary, Reagan legalized illegal Mexicans and fined corporations who illegally hire them. (Did they enforce this?) Clinton actually bolstered border patrol AND enforced fines and requirements to document all workers.

Then Bush enters office and first thing he does (at request of US Chamber of Commerce) is stop fines and requirements for the WalMarts etc to actually have legal worker numbers on W4s.

Seems like the pro-business corporate Republicans are the problem.

Let us hope that Presidents Bush and Fox recognize the potential gains for both our nations that could be tapped by creating a workable and fair, temporary labor program and providing for earned adjustment, under various criteria, for undocumented workers now living in the United States.
-- Thomas J. Donohue is President and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

When [Donohue] became the group's president in 1997, the chamber took in only about $600,000 from its largest corporate members. Last year [2004], collections for that category, called the President's Advisory Group, totaled $90 million.

It's truly an awesome sign to see conservative dinosaurs like Glenn Beck on "old media" like network television -- because only old people still get all their information from TV.

Conservatism dies a little more with each successive generation, and it is a beautiful thing to behold.

Dag, I want sanctions against vote abusers. I would be the LAST person on here to stick up from 'shroomy, but I don't agree with this personal vindictive downvoting.

This video maybe ignorant, but it is not the first propaganda piece (left or right) on here. The video itself did not merit 3 downvotes in first 10 hrs in queue. It's not that bad.

This was voting based on personal reasons and it should stop.
