We have it SOOOO GOOD here that people will try just about anything (legally and illegally) to get here.

I thank God for this country
and for being born in this country.

Re: Paying For Tax Cuts...

The answer is public record and easily obtained. Saudi Arabia for instance has just under (1) foreign worker for every (2) citizens.

A recent article:

The report showed the pace of population growth in Saudi Arabia was one of the highest in the world. The country's population has risen by 333% in the period of 1975-2009, from some 7 million to around 25 million, of which some 18 million are Saudi citizens and other 7 million are foreign workers. About 70% of Saudi residents (13.3 million) are under 34 years of age, the report said.

Guess all those millions of people are here working because it's such a terrible place huh sport.

There are (2) lines. One line is the line of highly educated productive people leaving.

Very deceptive Arabs Very deceptive

1..You mention Saudi Arabia. The rest of the Muslim countries are much poorer. Bad example

2 Saudis don't allow foreigners to change jobs. In other words they are like slaves to the single employer Bad example

3 Foreigners are restricted to the lowest jobs. How bad is that?

4 Saudis cheat. Many don't pay the slaves. hey cheat on payroll. That is horrible

5 Arabs cheat

Quote:
spokesman for the Indonesian embassy in Riyadh reported the death of Salastri Salamah, a domestic maid in her forties who died of natural causes in 2005. She worked in a remote village in central Saudi Arabia where she was held in slave-like conditions and was not paid for seven and a half years. The sponsor was completely uncooperative and allegedly owed the maid 89 months’ salary. When approached by the embassy, he claimed that he does not have the money to pay her salary or for the repatriation of her body.
We call it slavery.. Arabs call it expat labor.

IBM has doubled in India and transferred many top workers to run new business. America has a lot of new foreign jobs so degreed people can work in their home country.

Re: Paying For Tax Cuts...

Who do you think runs those foreign offices Coadie?

We were talking about Americans. (I) am not restricted to a lowest job. (laughing) Are you kidding?

Nor are my many, many other thousands of colleagues from the West.

Since you brought up exploitation of the poor:

The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency estimates that 50,000 people are trafficked into or transited through the U.S.A. annually as sex slaves, domestics, garment, and agricultural slaves.

The United States is a destination country for thousands of men, women, and children trafficked largely from Mexico and East Asia, as well as countries in South Asia, Central America, Africa, and Europe, for the purposes of sexual and labor exploitation. Three-quarters of all foreign adult victims identified during the Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 were victims of trafficking for forced labor. Some trafficking victims, responding to fraudulent offers of employment in the United States, migrate willingly—legally and illegally—and are subsequently subjected to conditions of involuntary servitude or debt bondage at work sites or in commercial sex. An unknown number of American citizens and legal residents are trafficked within the country, primarily for sexual servitude.

Makes me feel patriotic!

Well, no one has accused you of being patriotic. You seem to take every opportunity to slam America.
And exactly where do you see Americans or the American government approving of the above mentioned?

Re: Paying For Tax Cuts...

Where do you see the Saudi government approving of the mentioned case. The Saudi government requires that foreign workers, housemaids, be provided with healthcare and with leave and with a ticket home on a periodic basis.

The American government requires a sponsor for immigrants.

In both countries the poor are exploited.
