    You're welcome, Rocko9. And, billwald, all I know is there are a bunch of Mexicans working at McDonalds up the street and they never get my order right. At the KFC, under Hispanic management, we got chicken livers that were as hard as marbles and we couldn't eat them because they had sat under the heat lamps for so long (against the corporate rules, which say to discard after 15 minutes of heat lamp time). When I called the manager to complain, she said, "oh, they must have been old." No kidding. Their standards are definitely substandard than what American consumers are used to, so if they can't get it "right" in this country, why should anyone believe they have standards that are up to par in their own country. It's a known fact for anyone who cares to research it, that quality standards are not up to par (for my liking anyway) in third world countries - their cultures are significantly different and their standards of living are different, as well.

    Besides all that, I really don't care what they think South of the Border and whether Micky D sales are down in Mexico because we might happen (although quite unlikely) to secure our borders.

    Standards will all one day be harmonized globally LE. Then all the jelly beans will have the same quality and ingredients all over the world. Whether the standards will be set to maximize quality and safey or profits is yet to be seen.

    " Nothing is going to slow the elimination of the American middle class."

    Who will buy mexican jelly beans or anything
    manufactered in mexico and the US?

    Take the middle bricks out of the pyramid, and
    the top portion will most assuredly fall.

    Update on Wal-Mart jelly beans:

    These are NOT found in the Easter candy aisles, though, just in the regular candy aisle:

    Great Value jelly beans (fruit flavor, no spice) are made in Canada. That's permissible to me, I'll eat them from our neighbors to the north.

    Gimbals (established 1898) gourmet jelly beans are still made in the USA. I actually like them better than Jelly Bellies.

    http://www.gimbalscandy.com

    (Note: Jelly Bellies are now made in Mexico).

    So are Starburst, Brachs, Brochs, and other familiar American brand names.

    Almost bought some Whopper bird eggs, but the package says they are a product of Mexico. Put them back and settled for a box of Russell Stover white chocolate creams (Product of USA).

    Knorr chicken soup mix (dry packet) and I believe, it is Wylers (boullion cubes) are made in Mexico. (God only knows what conditions those chickens live in and what they feed them...) :rolleyes:

    Herb Ox boullion cubes are made in the USA.

    You have to read some of the Bird's Eye frozen vegetable packages, too - Product of Mexico...

    SOURCE

    So here we have a foreign government using our media to run a propaganda campaign on the American people inside the United States to influence our domestic policy and it's working.

    This should be headline news all over the place, where oh where is that MSM, when we really need them? Playing foostie with and running interference for a foreign government that's where!

    No problem LE. I'm so burned up about this latest slap in our face by George Nimrod Bush the globalist and his good pard El Presidente Fox I didn't even notice.

    "American candy employees have lost thousands of jobs to south of the Border because of cheap labor."

    The first migration of labor was from the unionized northern states to the scab southern states. The Old South (excepting Texas) was our source of cheap labor ever since Lincoln's War.

    There is no hope of maintaining our middle class unless the working class reorganizes but this won't happen until the worker's economy gets much worse.

    Why? Why is it that the only growing unions are govt workers? Because the rest have been brain washed into the American free spirit concept - anyone can grow up to be president. Onlt govt workers are sufficiently smart to realize that the typical worker can't grow up to be president or to negotiate a labor contract with an international corporation.

    The middle class is doomed, billwald, you and I both know it. The face of America is changing into a third-world country right before our eyes. I'm watching my neighborhoods in my city being trashed daily by people who don't even legally belong in this country.

    Joseph Farah forgets to mention that it's the international corporations pushing this whole agenda in the first place. Wonder why.

    Me and millions of Americans got no sympathy from
    many illegal and legal immigrants when we got a
    pink slip and could no longer afford to feed our
    families. I don't put all the blame on corporations as the protesters claim to be regular folk that are fighting for injustice. What they really mean is hispanic injustice. And like corporations, the protesters are exploiting decent, law abiding American citizens and are just as guilty.

    My point is that the MSM knows that organizations like NCLR and MEChA have boards of advisors that are made up of major corporations. They never mention all that in the nightly news. Even people like Farah that is supposed to be some kind of patriotic conservative American fails to reveal these facts. In effect hiding them from the average American citizen and illegal alike.

    The fact that major international corporations are using their influence in the media and resources in money and lobby power to push this agenda and influence our domestic policies should be headline news. Neither Mexicans or Americans stand to benefit from this. What it boils down to imo is that we have a foreign power playing one side against the other and people like Farah having this information withold it from their readers. Why?

    Maybe he isn't aware of these facts. If you care to post links as to the corporations who are on the board of directors of MECHA and the like, I'll personally see to it that he gets that information to pass along to his readers.

    Not a board of directors LE. A board of advisors. Here's a link to NCLR's Board Of Advisors. Quote below is from the same page.

    This is who contributed to MALDEF 2002-2003.

    Joseph Farah already knows about it, here's a link to one his articles. I owe him an apology, sorry Joseph. Here's a couple paragraphs from the article.

    So I guess there is no need to write to WND afterall LadyEagle. I haven't been following WND's articles to closely lately and missed this one. I am glad to see that they have made this information public. I'll write to Joseph and thank him personally now. ;)

    "My point is that the MSM knows that organizations like NCLR and MEChA have boards of advisors that are made up of major corporations."

    Most Americans are aware of these special interest groups that lobby so they can earn money. The MSM has informed it viewership of these groups. My point is, there is no excuse-not even the MSM-for cutting the throats of the ones that have welcomed immigrants for years, educated their children and given them healthcare.

    Blame the media, corporations and the government. The fact still remains that latino workers are taking jobs from regular Americans without any sympathy for them and their families yet scream injustice in massive numbers for their cause while supporting the very ones that exploit them.

    Are we seeing these protests because latinos are losing jobs too? Did their friendly corporations price themselves out of the labor market
    because it cost them more than what it's worth?

    " Neither Mexicans or Americans stand to benefit from this."

    As this is America and not mexico, illegal mexicans should not stand to benefit from anything in the US. Their insistant demands fall on deaf ears.

    "Who's pulling strings of illegal alien activists? CFR globalists, Ford Foundation, Soros among puppeteers"

    Are you saying that illegals don't realize taking away a job from an American has no impact? And if anyone blames the above, they should march back to mexico and get away from these "puppeteers".

    I want my job back!
