How can a preference quota system which allows the same number of visas
to those of English origin as those of Mexican, Nigerian, or whatever,
possibly be construed as racist?
I still fail to see HOW a system that allows for the equal opportunity
for citizens of every other country in the world to emigrate here
regardless of country of origin, can be unfair.
However, if we were to implement your suggestion of a "first come, first
serve" quota, those countries with a higher population percentage would
have a distinct advantage due to sheer numbers.
And as we all know, developing third world countries have a much higher
population percentage than those countries that are industrialized.
Consequently, one could conceivably argue that such a quota policy would
be racist in reverse.
Sorry. I'll take the preference quota system we have now. It's eminently
fairer than your suggestion.

Fact. The construction business in this country is inundated with aliens
illegally in this country, primarily from Mexico.
Fact. Those who are working in construction and who are illegal aliens
lack the basic skills to add, subtract, do simple math, read and write
English.
Think about this. Do you think for one minute they can read a blueprint,
measure properly, cut wood to proper dimensions, and do the myriad of
other things that are required to PROPERLY build a house?
When my house was built (the subcontractor who did the framing used
illegals until we paid them a visit), the framers measured incorrectly
and placed a door in such a manner as to have it partially blocked by
the refrigerator. Fortunately, I caught the mistake before it went too
far, and it was corrected.
My entry way floor had a 1.25" slope over an 8 foot span.
Others that I know, have had real problems with stairs tilting, walls
being bowed, floors being uneven, and plain shoddy work being done.
The common factor in all these "errors" were reading a blueprint wrong,
or measuring incorrectly.
Think about it.

If it results in the successful prosecution of someone who has violated
the law while allegedly serving the public, yes it is. Every da*n penny
spent.
As I've told you before, obviously to no avail, you cannot put a price
tag on the administration of justice.
But while we're at it, as I've told you before, once again, Lawrence
Walsh of Iran Contra fame or infamy, spent in excess of $100,000,000
and got nowhere. Reagan wasn't indicted, Bush wasn't indicted, Quayle
wasn't indicted, Cap Weinberger WAS indicted but the indictment was
dismissed due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Ollie North was indicted and convicted only to have the conviction
overturned on appeal.
All of the very same arguments the talking heads and pundits, aka the
Clintonistas led by The Ragin' Cajun, are making (ie. the President
hasn't been indicted, Hillary hasn't been indicted, etc.) as to the
wasteful spending of Starr could have been made about Walsh but weren't.
The reason? Simple. Republicans, at least on this issue, are people of
character. Democrats, on the other hand, are, to quote Rep. Burton,
"scumbags".  There are some notable exceptions and Jim Trafficant of
Ohio is one of them. But then again, it would be expecting a bit much
for you to know who James Trafficant is now, wouldn't it?
The very notion that the word indictment is mentioned in the same
sentence as the name of the "First Lady" and the President should be a
sobering thought. However, that presupposes you can think for yourself.
And that qualifies as a quantum leap of faith to presuppose you can
think.

confines of the law for starters. See: Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary.
And as I've repeatedly said, the results he's gotten for the money he's
spent has Lawrence Walsh beat by a country mile.
What you don't like is that "your guy" is dirtier than the sewer and you
know it. The only reason why you support him is because he's buying you
off giving you what you want. Or so you think.  However, the price tag
for having this gang of thugs in power won't be known until long after
he's out of office. And by then, it'll be way too late.

Actually, the IRS has the unflattering nickname of being "the leppers".
Being a Fed myself, I have had the opportunity to work with practically
every other Federal Law Enforcement agency including both IRS and, gasp,
ATF.
As in EVERY orgainization, there are those who have no business being
there. This can be said for IRS, ATF, FBI, DEA, and my own agency, INS.
However, it has been MY experience that for the most part, those agents
I've worked with however limited a fashion it may have been, were
dedicated, honest individuals trying to do a difficult job in some
rather dicey circumstances.
I believe that there are some agents out there who should be in prison,
much less carrying the badge. But there are also politicians in the
hierarchy that use us field agents as cannon fodder to serve a higher
political master, ie. William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. And therein lies

Geez! OBE all the way with this guy!
Yes Steve, I'm offering commentary on your "writing style". However,
it's because it appears to even the most unitiated that you have some
difficulty organizing your thoughts in a cohesive manner and even more
difficulty expressing yourself.
As for your contention that those who are poor see the "rich" drive a
Mercedes and are therefore envious while the rich see the "poor" driving
Hyundais and other "economy" cars and are "thankful" that there are poor
around to help the rich prosper, is the most ludicrous thought I've
heard in a while.
If you actually believe that the poor help make the rich wealthier then
you either didn't take an economics course or, if you did, you were
asleep at the switch during class.
It sounds to me as though you bought the Marxist Leninist b.s. of class
warfare proferred up by the "liberal intelligencia", aka THE LEFT, hook,
line, and sinker.
Just think about this for a moment. There are more millionaires who are
registered Democrats (liberal at that) than there are EEEEVIL Republican
millionaires. Hollywood alone has a whole bunch of 'em. Babs Streissand
comes to mind. So does Steven Speilberg, Paul Newman, Ed Asner, Mary
Tyler Moore, Hanoi Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, John Travolta, Tom Cruise,
et al.
Do you think that it may be possible that Liberal Democrats who have
consistently portrayed us "little people" in "fly over country" as
incapable of handling every day events in our "humdrum lives", encourage
this class warfare so as to control a large segment of the population's
economics thereby ensuring that they, the HAVES, are superior to the
HAVE NOTS?
