Comments: Homeland Security Fears

Foreign applications for post-secondary education are also down by a chunk. Without them we don't function well because our schools are so incredibly shitty, and getting more and more shittier. Of course, our kids are making wonderful McDonalds and Wal-Mart employees, they just aren't at the level of foreign educated kids.


America is not a friendly place for foreigners to be right now. You've got the vocal neo-con fascists out there preaching intolerance and hatred. They strut around, blustering about how great we are, without realizing we look like a pack of loons to the rest of the world. And our domestic policies...don't get me started on an entire government -neocons and liberals included- devoted to making the wealthy more wealthy. Stunning! Absolutely stunning!

I was mighty disgusted when I heard this story on the radio this morning. Thanks Bush, for destroying even the fantasy that we're a great nation, welcoming to immigrants as the statue of liberty symbolizes.

Asylum seekers are going to France? Doesn't France have the highest unemployment rate in Europe and the French relatively don't have to worry about work because the French government can take care of them. Can I be an asylum seeker?

The Bushista sturmabteilungen make American an unfriendly place for Americans as well.

If you are an American in Bush's Amerika, yes. Just as some people left Germany in the early 30's, some are emigrating from the U.S. now. The problem for them is the decline of the dollar against the euro.

Well, my Sister and her husband travel to Taxco every year to do business and then vacation for a week or more in a small fishing village unheard of by tourists. Depending on what happens in the next four years or sooner, I may be headed for Mexico.
