Uncle sugar?  You guys had a $70 billion trade deficit last year alone.

So you admit needing money from us Americans.

this story reminds me of a neighbor I used to have.  I had a nice doberman pinscher which we took good care of.  we had a nice lawn and garden which we also took care of.  we mow our lawn twice a week in the hot summer and weekly during the lesser summer.  we employed a spraying service to treat our lawn for bugs, fungi, fertilize etc.  one day as I'm out in the yard the neighbor calls me over to the fence, we exchange pleasantries then he informs me that my fleas were crossing over into his yard and getting on his cats.  this gave me a big grin, as I looked at my neighbor to see if he was pulling my leg I could see that he was being quite serious.  at that point I explained to him that once the fleas crossed the fence they were now his fleas and to have a nice day.

enjoy your mexicans be nice to them they really are mostly nice folks.  have a nice day.

civil servants watching tv during daytime hours... thanks for reaffirming the flock.

storch, the mayor is calling out the canadian feds to cough up the extra cash not uncle blunder. windsor has a population of about 200,000 and they've spent more than that in dollars housing the mexicans.

mexican and migrant workers are not new to the area, from windsor to toronto it is a 5 hour drive and it is all farmland and pick'n fields.

mexicans by the bus load applying for refuge status is.

have a nice day...

Yeah, that's what I read last week as well.  Windsor has blown it's emergency shelter money on this and they were asking our feds to cough up, which in my books they should.  This isn't a local issue, it's a national border issue.

I read about this years ago as well.  We get tons of migrant workers up here.  We document them, give them good salaries and benefits, then they go home.

Well someone has to send you manufactured goods since you can't do it yourselves.

it seems that our cousins to the north are somewhat upset over the discovery of some two hundred and fifty illegal mexicans living in windsor, ontario.

Well now that the Canadian peso is worth more than your greenback,are you surprised?

Canada's got it way too easy.

They fall under our umbrella of protection strictly by virtue of their location, and yet get to enjoy the comforts of near total globally irrelevancy.

Sort of like a live-in pool-boy whose air-conditioned shack is out of the reach of local neighborhood egg-throwers.

I think it's time they started paying a tax. Thanks for the Canada Arm, though.

So I assume Canada doesn't have any crops that require manual labor, no one there has a lawn that needs to be cut, and there is no construction going on.

Mexicans excel at those jobs and are much cheaper than hiring your own countrymen, or atleast that's how it works in the States

[LePaul]

I dont care what it takes, so long as the Molson Breweries are aptly staffed and production is steady, they can do anything they want.  

[skernsk]

Hmm, I never heard anything about Mexicans in Windsor.  But I'm out West where we could use a few Mexicans and put them to work.  Thanks for the head's up.

Oh, and Neubob, thanks for the blanket of protectioon, I guess having a bunch of Canadian soldiers over in Afghanistan (some of them are friends of mine) does not mean anything to you.  Have fun in Iraq, hope it works out well for you.  Did you get those WMD's yet?  I think your blanket needs to be washed, it's starting to smell funky.

We have Brazilian illegal immigrants. Would someone please explain how the hell they got here?

PS Do you Canadians want them?

[skernsk]

Sure, there are some hot Brazilians.  Send them up here.  Be careful if you get rid of the working class then you Americans are going to have to work.....
