    Than don't take loads from a person in the business of hurting people.... just don't complain about it if you take that load

    Where exactly did I complain?
    I stated my opinions is the same as complaining?

    How dare you attack me personally?

    I am not even the one who said brokers make too much.
    I said I want all tricks there are available so that they dont make too much at my expense.
    Quite a difference.

    I get what you are saying and agree with most it. However it is pretty well established orthodoxy that it is in a country's best interest to take a little bit of an active role in who comes and goes from the border. Try to move to any other first world primarily English-speaking country and you will see that they don't make it so easy for normal people. Actively discouraged I might even go so far as to say. Of course if you're independently wealthy ("high net-worth individual") most of them will let you buy your way in as they are of course happy to take your money hoping you'll put it into their banking system. The US is one of the few industrialized nations that allows riff-raff in on a lottery system, which literally is like winning the lottery to those people. And of course the illegals come flooding in on a wink and a nod from the powers that be. If they really cared to enforce the southern border you would see 50 caliber machine guns and industrial scale violence down there like we export to the middle east, and that would nip it in the bud real quick. But they don't do that so it's clear they don't really care if illegals show up and steal your job that pays you table scraps already.

    As far as the frugal slavs, they don't bother me. They aren't immune to the laws of economics either. I'm not interested in working for those guys on a 1099, but if they want to run garbage equipment for cheap it's fine.

    I do respect you.
    You are older than me and You have seen, learnt and accomplished more.
    I just hate to think that whatever I said deserves disdainful remarks to me individually.
    The discussion is rather theoretical.
    I am not the one collecting unemployment yet.I am working this week.
    I am done here too.

    So you're just looking for anything to stack the deck in your favor, like the brokers do, if thats some regulation for brokers that at some point will come back to bite you in the ### you don't care.
