The only meaningful food exports from this country are wheat and corn, which it seems that Russia and the former Communist Block countries can't get enough of, but otherwise OUR farmers compete against cheaper imports from everywhere else. WE have to obey sanitation and environmental and employer laws while the competition grows their stuff in sewage, does not get inspected, and uses slave labor. TW, you are from CA also, how in the world could you make a statement like that one???

Exactly, you have to look very hard now to find pure FL OJ and try to find US electronics... why? Because foreign markets have done here what TW says we are doing elsewhere, a myth. Cheap foreign goods hurt the US, not the other way around.
Find a factory producing something in the US other than on a nominal level... try it.
Yeah, they just eat-up US made cars, cheese, electronics, and every thing else other than music, jeans (oh... that's right, we don't make those any more) and movies...sure... sell us on that typing on your PC made where, on a chair made where, furniture made where, in clothes made where, listening to music packaged where, being lit by lights made where...? It's a FLOOOD of US goods!!!

What does this have to do with illegals in this nation?
Not a damn thing.
They are ILLEGAL... so, they should get a visa or get out. It is not complicated.
All of this is the same crap as "his momma spanked him so it ain't his fault he robbed the Circle K and killed that poor lady"...
It's a "look over here" tactic and is just silly.
