Re: [privacy] Social Security Card to be National ID?

You know, don't ask me.  Talk to contractors.   They'll tell you the
American's aren't showing up for the jobs.   As an example, there's a
local contractor trying to do a job at a local air force base, and since
the rules are so strict on immigrants, he has to use Americans.  That
project will take a _long_ time.  For every job he posts, he gets 100
Mexicans and 1 American.  But don't take my word for it.  Ask the
contractors for yourself. 

And these aren't menial jobs, either. 

If you're in California, try to find some Americans to pick
strawberries, artichokes and all the rest of the food that California
produces.  It's all migrant labor.  Or try to find an American girl to
be a nanny for your kids.  

The best possible thing the illegals could do is stop working for just
one day.  And then people will have an eye-opening experience. 

I just think we've lost our sense of pragmatism here.

How so? Through the taxes they pay or the health care they don't use?
Perhaps the property values they improve when moving into a
neighborhood?
