    Nah, we should never welcome them. Mexicans should build up their own economy so they have freight to truck around instead of salivating at the border waiting for the chance to truck our freight around while they ignore their own country.

    Anyone notice he had been driving 18 hours without a significant break, and now wants to haul his tired butt onto our roads, and claims he is safe. That right there is enough reason to keep Mexican drivers out.
    They do not log their time, nor set sleep schedules like we do. They have a if I make it I make it, if not then I am fired attitude. Who needs sleep when you can drive 18 to 20 hours straight while hopped up on caffinated products and who knows what other non-approved drugs they have on the market in Mexico. There is no way to regulate the hours they would have logged in Mexico.

    To a Mexican, running your ### off to the point of break down and exhaustion and doing it all over again is just being a good worker. That's why the owners and the managers of American businesses want more Mexicans in this country.

    American workers want such luxurious things like sleep and quality of life! Bah! The frivolity!!! say's America's managerial class.

    Define America's managerial class.......

    And every large business in this country started out small...even Microsoft was a "garage based" business.....

    I don't buy the B*ll Sheyat that Business Owners are evil......
    I'm one..and I'm not evil......

    Evil is the government trying to take over my business and trying to over-tax my operations.....that's evil....

    The managerial class is pretty much the people who do not physically do the work that adds value to a product or service that creates the wealth of a Nation.

    The class of people who derive their income or profit from the laboring of others.

    That sounds like the government does it not?....

    I mean....You go out and earn a buck.....Government says that you need to "spread the wealth" and now your buck is down to a quarter....

    And members of congress are riding around in new planes; welfare recipients are getting a plasma screen; and Illegals are getting free education, health care and housing.....All the while, you are told you need to pay your "fair share"....
     
    kajidono and Raezzor Thank this.

    There was no "Until Bill got it." Bill Gates was the founder of MicroSoft, and the one who sold IBM on an operating system he didn't even own yet (DOS). And no, he didn't steal DOS, either. He paid somewhere around $50,000 for an operating system (which in the late seventies wasn't exactly chicken feed) that had been designed but never utilized or marketed by the original programmer. Who later voluntarily went to work for Microsoft.

    Where does a college drop-out in the 1970s (working out of a garage or playing with a computer all day) get that kind of money???
