Our MAN for President, Tom Tancredo, has spoken about the latest immigration law offering from Pence and Huitchinson.

Pence has announced at least two prior versions of his immigration proposal, and this morning’s version continues to include a “guest” worker plan that does not require “guest” workers ever to leave the U.S., while at the same time it allows them to bring their families. The plan allows employers and private temporary work agencies – both of which have economic incentives to keep the flow of foreign labor coming – to determine the number of foreign workers who will be admitted into the U.S. for the first three years of the plan.

“Having employers which have already broken the law determine the number of cheap foreign workers that will be admitted into the U.S. is a classic example of the fox guarding the hen house,” said Tancredo. “I have never had a guest who, after staying awhile, demanded to move into my house permanently. No plan that allows temporary workers to stay permanently is a ‘guest’ worker plan.”

Heh. Another one who speaks bluntly and without fear of offending soft bleeding heart liberals and, conservatives in this case.

He’s rough around the edges; he doesn’t beat around the bush; he tells it like it is and this causes hurt feelings. Some call this cowboy diplomacy. Others call it blunt. And liberals claim John Bolton is a BULLY. Oh my. Since they say this, it gives me more confidence he’s the man to continue with the job.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats on Thursday said they remain opposed to President Bush’s pick for U.N. ambassador, contending that John Bolton has not yet repaired his reputation as an ineffective “bully.”

Sen. Christopher Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat, cited recent press reports on Bolton’s interactions with other U.N. officials as evidence that Bolton “clearly has an aversion in my view to building consensus.”

Uh, duh! We’re never going to build “consensus” with the UN members such as France, Russia and China. Bolton pisses off a lot of people because of his ability to directly place blame where it needs to go. He’s the kind of man WE need to represent America. Instead of being the big cowardly lion, America should stand up and start acting like the leader we are in this craZy world. It takes a man with balls to stand up to the diploMATS of the UN.

Here’s some evidence that socialism is alive and well in America. Rest assured, the liberals would love to see these examples spread everywhere.

Chicago:

CHICAGO, Illinois (AP) — Brushing aside warnings from Wal-Mart Stores Inc., City Council approved an ordinance Wednesday that makes Chicago the biggest city in the nation to require big-box retailers to pay a “living wage.”

“It’s trying to get the largest companies in America to pay decent wages,” said council member Toni Preckwinkle.

The measure requires retailers with more than $1 billion in annual sales and stores of at least 90,000 square feet to pay workers at least $10 an hour in wages plus $3 an hour in fringe benefits by mid-2010.

Boston:

Hilltop Steak House in Saugus could be required to pay more than $2.5 million in damages to wait staff after an Essex County jury found that the restaurant’s function department illegally steered tip money to managers.

The Essex Superior Court jury that returned the verdict late Tuesday also found that the restaurant wrongfully fired four waitresses because they complained about losing a percentage of their tips.

The case, the first of 19 so-called “tip cases” to go to trial in the state, was filed after the Legislature amended Massachusetts law four years ago to say that waitresses, waiters, and bartenders are not legally required to share tips with managers or kitchen staff.

Nationwide:

Basing her story on a July 19 study by the liberal Kaiser Family Foundation, ABC’s Lisa Stark offered the audience of the July 26 “World News Tonight” a look at the “Wild West” world of food marketing on the Internet geared to kids, complete with flashy games on company Web sites.

The Kaiser report found that “more than eight out of ten (85%) of the top food brands that target children through TV advertising also use branded websites to market to children online.”

But rather than presenting the development as a safer Internet pastime for children then chatting with complete strangers or looking up pornographic Web sites, Stark suggested the advertising development is a danger to children that needs to be regulated.

I view this as good news.

Poll: World Doesn’t Respect Bush

(CBS) Americans generally approve of President Bush’s handling of the current Mideast crisis, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll, but six in 10 say the president is not respected by foreign leaders.

The poll finds Americans are pessimistic about the prospects for Mideast peace and do not think the United States should involve itself in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah.

Just 32 percent said U.S. troops should be sent to the Mideast as part of a United Nations peacekeeping force, although 60 percent favor such a force.

More Americans (47 percent) said they approve of how Mr. Bush has handled the conflict so far than disapprove (27 percent), but one in four said it’s too early to form an opinion.

Mr. Bush’s overall approval rating remains low — and in an additional diplomatic concern, most Americans (60 percent) now think he is not respected by foreign leaders.

Anyone who wants the respect of foreign leaders should join the John Kerry (pass the Global Test) camp. It’s not in the job description for the President of the United States- to fondle the egos of foreign leaders. It’s not in this job to be popular. Doing the right thing often times means being UNPOPULAR with most of the world these days.
