I agree with you, 23. This country was built on immigrants and somehow this country became isolationist and xenophobic. That is precisely what I think Lou Dobbs is. I think it's a good idea to give them work permits because this way you'll have them all accounted for and we can charge them taxes. If you took out all of the illegal immigrants out of the country today, the country would fall apart tomorrow. Also, in regards to us paying for their healthcare, etc, there is a point to this but what a lot of people do not realize is that these illegal immigrants pay more in sales taxes than what they actually take out of healthcare, etc.

In regards to outsourcing, I think you have to have balance. You shouldn't put all of your eggs in one basket and you should have to keep eggs at home as well. Countries like India, the Philippines, etc (who get a big bulk of the outsourcing piece) also buy our products so in a way we're getting that money back. Our economy cannot sustain itself so we need other countries to buy our products. We live in a global world. All of these people who wish we could just close our doors to the rest of the world are insane.

If this were happening 150 years ago, the government would have another revolution on its hands.

Alas, we're the Starbucks generation. Complacency is the new birthright.
