Mexico legalizes narcotics.

Small and corporate business owns this country let's face it. They want the cheap labor, but complain that our schools are not turning out a quality workforce. This is bullcrap if I ever smelled it. How on one hand do you hire a worker that can barely speak english, and yet say that a person who graduates high school isn't good enough? Or how can you say that American worker won't take certain jobs, and forget to add they won't take them at minimum wage? Business in this country likes cheap labor, and they will lie, cheat, and turn on the American people to get it.

....

As a more or less impartial observer, (Canadian), I agree with you on all points.

On of the more effective thing that the US Goverment could do would be to make it a crime for an employer to hire a worker without proof of legal residency, and enforce this on employers large and small. How come we don't hear much about this -- I think your paragraph above explains the reason in full.

I always thought that small business was 20 employees or less. However I believe that everyones standards of small business are very different.

Like the gov. I think they belive when they talk about small business being the backbone and all that,they mean 100 or so. When i think about it its 10 or less,the ma and pop business which are all but gone.
