without health insurance, holiday pay, the right to a pension, sick leave, minimum wages or safe working conditions. We are so lucky to have this pool of exploited, unrepresented, illiterate people right on our doorstep. And if you don't like it we'll cut your wages too - so SHUT UP !!

God bless America !

This says it all man! We need to get a grip! I read your piece on President Fox a ways back and I think you were right to defend him because I don't know a single black or white person who is willing to do the work the Mexicans do for those wages. That's globalization buddy and we can put our heads in the sand or deal with it! Great stuff ALH.

"Without the illegal immigrants, people would have to spend more on nannies, cleaners, farm workers..... most of the workers doing the jobs done... by immigrants are native-born.... (and) would have to be paid higher wages if immigrants were absent."
Martin Woolf - Financial Times

Race to the bottom anyone ?

Only 36% of French people actually agree with the concept of a free market economy. They believe it’s not the purpose of a modern liberal democracy to make a few of its citizens exceedingly rich by making everyone else compete with the most desperate workforces that business can find.

While you snigger at the woolly-headed, retro Sixties foolishness of that concept, just consider for a moment that the French, for all their protection, restrictions, compromises, wasteful practices, exemptions, lies and backhanders, are still more productive than (the U.K.) and have a higher standard of living.
