Right now we’re seeing even more proposed monopolies like Kroger’s proposed merger with Albertsons and Capital One’s proposed merger with Discover. These are very bad proposals, and we need to break up the monopolies instead of encouraging them. I only see the Republicans encouraging this sort of thing.

We were among the first countries that enacted and enforced laws against vertical and horizontal monopolies. Beginning with Robert Bork, the Federal courts started to retreat from enforcing our anti immigration monopoly laws, and the consequences are that consumers pay more for inferior products.
You are a little misguided. No one is in favor of anti anything. What we are in favor of controlled immigration. Period. It’s out of control just like it was when both sides of my grandparents came in around turn of the century. Eastern Europe and southern Italy. I was once hitching in Sicily and recal a conversation with a resident that spoke of entire towns emptying and migrating to America. The in 1923, The Immigration Act was passed limiting such huge movement of people.
Bill, I just read up on the 1923 Immigration Act—its purpose was to limit immigration from anywhere other than Western European countries. “Congress used the 1890 one to increase immigrants from Northern and Western Europe and to decrease those from Eastern and Southern Europe.” Japanese immigrants were totally banned.
Good response. The biggest point that I want to make is that sometimes, we must compromise on some issues in order to gain political ground. This issue is poison to democrats. We will lose votes and elections. What is really more important to you and be honest because you can’t and no one can have it their way all the time. We continue unabated letting in hundreds of thousands, nay, millions and lose our democracy to MAGAs? Is that what you want because as I have stated, we live in an imperfect world. If I need to choose between the two, you know which way I’m going. Many cities are over burdened with the influx especially after TX governor has sent bus loads out across America. Perhaps you are being a big naive thinking that the larger percentage of Americans want open borders. We don’t and we simply lose with that attitude. Forget about super majorities. We may get lucky and squeeze by with a win.
The undocumented population in the US has remained pretty much stable over the past 15 years. From 1990 to 2007 this population increased from 3.5 million to 12million. It has stayed around 11 million for the last 15 years. In NYC the undocumented population has been declining.
I think we need to look at facts and statistics before using the emotion-driven fear of the "other".
Read lips or hips. :) I’m watching republican Rep Byron Daniels of Florida spouting about how bad the economy is and this is simply not true. So everything is a smokescreen in an effort to win election. I want, for lack of a better or strong candidate, Biden to win. He is the only choice unless he were to step down and open things for someone like Adam Schiff to run. Great politician. The issues about the border will largely determine who wins.
Bill, I’m not arguing for open borders—I just want a fairer allocation of people allowed to get green cards. Right now, if you’re a Mexican citizen without a sponsor, the time period from application to green card is over 20 years.
