Deporting all the illegal aliens, the mythical along with the breathing, might help open up a few menial service type jobs for some Americans desparate enough to work them. Trouble is, most of the work done by “illegals” is work we Yanks won’t do anyway. Far too many citizens are sitting back, waiting for government-as-saviour to DO something. Which they’ve been doing, but oh, the decisions they’ve made. Putting is all in pawn for the next two generations. What is needed, desparately and immediately, is for government to relieve the tremendous burthens placed upon private enterprise with taxation, restrictions, regulations, and to insist that some of this “bailout money” be made available for the capitalisation of enterprise. It was the Second German War that pulled the US out of the Great Depression. How? By ramping up production, which put millions to work, with paychecks. The New Deal and WPA did far too little. No, put America back to work by unbinding enterprise and see what happens. Americans will once again be in demand to make/build/invent things. Paychecks will follow, and we will have a viable economy again. The worst thing that could happen is precisely what the new administration is about doing: using public funds to pay off private debt in a vain attempt to keep certain sectors of the economy from exploding. Mortgage lenders got too greedy? LET them fail. Homeowners bought three times the house they should have? Let them be reposessed. Can’t pay the monthlies on your fifty thousand dollar SUV? Let the dealer come take it away. Why penalise those of us who have been wiser with our resources? No, the answer does not lie in deporting those “stealing” jobs we won’t do anyway, though it may help administer a healthy dose of reality when Yanks have to take up those jobs again. Unfetter private enterprise, and folks like Mr. Cooper will have more valuable tasks too hand than attacking urinals with his magic brush.

This highlights why we need to enforce immigration laws, and deport illegal aliens.

Our economy is getting to the point where US citizens need those jobs illegal aliens do, such as janitorial work, landscaping, butchering, and farming.

Want to cure the unemployment rate that is skyrocketing? Get rid of illegal aliens. It’s quite simple. Enforce the laws on the books.

Its profoundly disturbing that no one has remarked that the six figure executive in this article is actually a woman, Ame Arlt, who is divorced and likely supporting a family alone. Mr. Cooper, with a former five figure salary remains married to his working wife.

I intend no disrespect to Mr. Cooper, but the way some Christians ignore single women is truly bizarre. Why was this post not called “What feminine provision looks like.” Okay, she was not cleaning toilets, but then she seemed to have found the job herself, rather than being hired by a friend, as Mr. Cooper was.

The article is clearly about those who have lost jobs, both men and women. Why has it become fodder for the manhood movement?
