Thom, I haven't heard anyone mention it, but there is a definite connection between the "Civil Rights exemption for Private Business" that Rand Paul endorsed and the "Citizens United ruling that equates businesses with people."
Paul... like the CU ruling... is suggesting that businesses deserve all the rights of private citizens.
(It also deserves noting that Paul's racism in the name of "freedom from government" provides cover for the heinous Arizona immigration law.)
This is all fine and dandy sir but lets not forget who has over the last 50 FIFTY years been in office more? And has accomplished the least? Lets look at the FACTS do some research I think if you do your homework you will be surprised. Who hires these people? Who bribes the officials? Who has the money to do the bribing? Who and what class of U.S. Citizens has the ability to influence lawmakers? May I remind you sir it is not the common working man!
The real question is who has been at the chopping end of every merger, buyout, corporate scam, not enough bottom line profit, and layoff while management gets a big fat bonus for doing such a GREAT JOB! I say focus on the FAT CATS THAT ARE DOING THE HIRING to save a buck, then calling the I.N.S. so they don't have to make payroll time after time.
These people (illegal immigrants) only want to feed their families, just like you and I. As for the criminal aspect the percentage is if you really look at it is very small comparatively. We here in the United States live in a glass house can we afford to cast stones? Remember our prisons are filled with (what are the called? OH Yea Criminals) we have nothing to brag about. Our borders are safe and secure we have friendly neighbors so let’s not change that. Therefore let’s STOP the SCARRY talk and talk common sense.
STOP the blame game the laws are in place and are just not enforced “why?” the people who do the hiring don’t want to pay a LIVING wage that includes benefits such as health insurance, unemployment insurance, ECT… to an AMERICAN CITIZEN!
This is the bottom line. Slavery is cheap, American labor cost your bottom line and infringes in your profit margin. And we can’t have that, can we?
If you look at the “BIG PICTURE” I think you will find those people in question that I am talking about are doing the most of the complaining the hiring and have all the money. These people also have the ability to BUY the politicians to change the laws. But what do I know … I work for a living, do you?

This is just another example that our legal system is based on a class system. Rich, powerful people make honest mistakes, the common folk commit crimes that have consequences (and must be paid for).
The financial reform bill was passed in order to stop some "real" financial reform measures. When the GOP can have some members crossover to pass a bill, the bill must be flawed.
The Senate passed a financial "reform" bill today by a 59-39 vote which won't fix any of the core problems in the financial system, and won't prevent the next financial crisis.
The bill doesn't include the Volcker Rule (it wasn't even debated), doesn't break up or even substantially rein in the too big to fails, and doesn't force transparency in the derivatives market.

Thom did you see on cbs news 5-19-2010 how they were discussing that oil is washing up on shorelines that are protected by booms.
Don't you think this is because of the dispersants they used to hide the oil from public view? And now it is actually rendering the booms ineffective!
@Maxrot: My political party (Yes, I am a card carrying member), the DemonCrats come in to major flavors . . .
1. DLC: Democrats Loving Corporations
2. The marginalized left-wing wacko CENTRISTS
Where is Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson when we need them . . .
@rladlof, stop calling minor re-regulation "REFORM"? What next, are you going to want us to stop calling the Democratic party "PROGRESSIVE"?
That's just crazy talk Mr.
N
Can we all agree to stop billing minor re-regulation as “Reform”?
Reform would require effective oversight and enforcement.
Don't mess with Boeing!

Obama has been BOHICA-d again by our financial institutions.
BOHICA-d is a verb for this comment.

Re: Yes it does matter
I wholeheartedly agree that it does matter. Unfortunately presidents, like lawyers protect their own.
I see before my eyes a Banana Republic.

@Nels,
My only issue with the Dream Act is its funneling the kids looking for citizenship through the military.
