RT @24AheadDotCom: .@BruceGoewey: reduce # of illegal aliens, encourage dairies to hire Americans, subsidize Americans to do the jobs; ppl …

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:04 am

.@BruceGoewey: years ago, @jillstewart hyped such internal migration. Now, despite repeated tries, she won't say she still supports it. #sgp

.@BruceGoewey: reduce # of illegal aliens, encourage dairies to hire Americans, subsidize Americans to do the jobs; ppl will move there. #p2

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:11 am

@24AheadDotCom It's interesting, coming from you, that you would support a socialistic type subsidy (assuming you have right wing politics).

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:18 am

@24AheadDotCom Those dairies are offering wages in excess of $10 per hour. It's hard work. No takers. What are you willing to pay for milk?

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:01 am

.@BruceGoewey: the few times I listen to Rush, he said something OK: subsidize Americans to work in jobs illegal aliens now do. #ows #tcot

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:01 am

.@BruceGoewey: those "jobs" have to be put into context. Presence of illegal aliens has reduced wages & standards in those jobs. #tcot #ows

From @78andcounting Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:14 am

@24AheadDotCom @BruceGoewey The accusation that illegal aliens have caused reduced wages and standards in jobs in my opinion is not true.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:19 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom There may be a minority of cases where that is true but, for the most part, I doubt it.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:20 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom As far as standards go, they are generally willing to work far harder than their counterparts from here.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:21 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom There are so many myths about illegals. Many decisions are based on them. In total, it leads to persecution.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:23 am

@24AheadDotCom I don't doubt your sincerity, and I applaud your ingenuity in looking for answers, but I generally don't agree.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:24 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I wish it were a black and white issue but there are many shades of gray. This isn't getting us anywhere.

From @78andcounting Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 4:52 pm

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom Bruce you are right, I shd tell my reasons for supporting Immigration. Migrants do work 'Americans' will not do.

From @BruceGoewey Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 5:17 pm

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom That is the truth! The lie is that they are taking away jobs american citizens would do. That is seldom true.

From @BruceGoewey Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 5:19 pm

@24AheadDotCom No one was willing to do them in the first place. This has been going on for generations. This is a falsehood!

From @BruceGoewey Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 5:21 pm

@24AheadDotCom The vacant jobs are what brought them here in the first place. There was a vacuum and they filled it.

From @BruceGoewey Wed, Jan 22, 2014 at 5:27 pm

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Immigration reform would probably work to limit most problems with them taking jobs Americans would do.

From @78andcounting Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:15 am

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom I ran a Day Care Ctr in a CA Migrant Camp 4 yrs while they worked. You get a better view of ppl when among them

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:34 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I worked with them for a number of years. Learned the language. Came to appreciate them.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:34 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom They're not perfect people but, all in all, that add a great deal of value to our country.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:36 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Most of our policies regarding immigration are based on ignorance, lies or unmitigated prejudice.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:37 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom At any rate, immigrants and migrants add far more value than anything they cost the nation.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:37 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I think that it has probably been that way from the first days of the republic.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:38 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom And, from the start, they've always been persecuted by the more established parts of society.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:39 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom And now I'm living on the border with Canada!

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:40 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Most of the "facts" that are presented against them are "fictions" designed to justify ignorance or prejudice.

From @78andcounting Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:40 am

@BruceGoewey @24AheadDotCom Just beginning to speak Spanish & my world changed to English speakers~I talk to cats dogs & kids in Spanish now

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:43 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom I once worked as a classroom translator in the school system so my competence was adequate at one point.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:44 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom It's not that good now but my written spanish is more competent than before.

From @BruceGoewey Thu, Jan 23, 2014 at 8:46 am

@78andcounting @24AheadDotCom Gotta get back to work or I'm going to feel guilty!

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:00 am

.@BruceGoewey: it's not our job to look out for shady businesses. If sweatshops can't make it here, f'em. #immigration #tcot #ows #uniteblue

From @Maryleeqqwui Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:00 am

@24AheadDotCom Firsties! http://t.co/wa09Ck43Eb

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:14 am

@24AheadDotCom It's always shady business if it's the other guy. Some is but most isn't. Just people trying to make a living best they can.

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 10:59 am

.@BruceGoewey: if all illegal aliens left tomorrow, the economy wouldn't "fall apart". But, the goal is to reduce the # gradually. #tcot #oo

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:15 am

@24AheadDotCom I beg to differ with you. The economy of the southwest, in particular, would be seriously impacted.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:15 am

@24AheadDotCom I'm not certain that you understand the scope of the issue.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:16 am

@24AheadDotCom While I disagree with the goal, your approach makes sense.

From @24aheaddotcom Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 10:57 am

.@BruceGoewey: actually, illegal aliens as a group are "protected" (if you know what I mean): http://24ahead.com/s/immigration-vulnerable

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:02 am

@24AheadDotCom Nonsense, I've seen what happens to them as a class and individuals. They have no protections under the law.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:03 am

@24AheadDotCom While it's not a straight black or white, yes or no issue, everything I've experienced indicates that they are abused.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:05 am

@24AheadDotCom I'm not inclined to debate this because we are not going to agree.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:08 am

@24AheadDotCom Not a debate, a game and it's not theoretical for me. Only have 140 characters. Spend my time where it'll make a difference.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 11:09 am

@24AheadDotCom You seem sincere and dedicated. I commend you for that. However, you are preaching to your choir. I have to recruit mine.

From @24aheaddotcom Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 8:12 pm

.@BruceGoewey: sure, Rush is 5 years behind me: http://24ahead.com/n/8902 But, who's counting? #ows #tlot #teaparty #tcot #gop #uniteblue

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 6:56 am

@24AheadDotCom You sound idealistic but impractical. Do you have any experience with the issues or is this all "theoretical" to you?

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 6:58 am

@24AheadDotCom Are you merely spouting "Tparty" doctrine with convenient sounding solutions or are you really trying to solve problems?

From @brucegoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 6:59 am

@24AheadDotCom These poor people (figuratively and literally) have been a political football ever since I can remember.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 7:00 am

@24AheadDotCom It's like a pecking order with birds, they're a convenient target. Someone to point at, sneer at, and kick. Scapegoats!

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 7:01 am

@24AheadDotCom It's amazing how they have become the source of most of the problems of our entire nation. It's very convenient.

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 7:03 am

@24AheadDotCom If you're sincere, I commend you for making an effort although I disagree with your conclusions. I doubt we'll ever agree.

From @24aheaddotcom Fri, Jan 17, 2014 at 8:11 pm

.@BruceGoewey: as Rush proposed (1/10/14), we could even subsidize Americans working in jobs previously done by illegal aliens. #ows #tlot

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 6:53 am

@24AheadDotCom And, like Rush, you're worried about creeping socialism? Doesn't sound like Capitlalism to me!

From @BruceGoewey Sat, Jan 18, 2014 at 6:54 am

@24AheadDotCom Sounds like "Anything that sounds good" as long as it convinces most people whether it's true or not. It wouldn't happen.
