Overnight, some industries would become desperate for workers. The biggest beneficiaries would be low-skilled American workers. The big losers might surprise you.

At least 12 million illegal immigrants live in the U.S. Most pick crops, wash dishes, build houses, cut lawns and do other jobs for between $6 and $15 an hour. They make up about 5% of the total U.S. work force. But…

What they were all thrown out?

Lettuce and strawberries would rot in the fields. Dirty dishes would pile up in restaurants. Thousands of farmers and builders would go bust. Predator aircraft drones would prowl the Mexican border. And chunks of Los Angeles and Houston would look like ghost towns.

The biggest losers would be middle-class families with two working parents, living in high-immigrant states such as California, Texas, Florida or New York. Why? They would pay more for food, housing, entertainment and child care as a shortage of low-skilled workers drove up some wages, and therefore, some prices. Meantime, their own pay would remain the same. What’s more, the ripple effect of thousands of businesses shrinking or closing for lack of staff might put one of the parents out of a job. Not to mention the garbage collection going to pot and no one to polish the missus’ nails.

How likely is it that this will happen?

Although polls show that most Americans want stronger border enforcement, deporting the illegal immigrants already here is not popular. A CBS News poll found 33% of Americans favored deportation [Republicans], while 62% preferred offering legal status. In a Gallup poll, 13% favored deportation and 78% favored offering citizenship. Neither John McCain nor Barack Obama leans toward deportation.

Crime

Critics of lax immigration policies say that drug running, traffic accidents and crime would go down with the illegal immigrants gone. But The Immigration Policy Center, a Washington research group, argues that studies show that immigrants in general are less likely to commit crimes or to end up behind bars than native-born Americans. The debate goes on.

The e-mail/website/air-wave ’smear assault’ on Barack Obama has reached epidemic proportions.

THUG Republicans, idiots, missionaries based in Kenya, Appalachians, angry “White Women,” “blue-collar” white morons, racist radio pundits, Uncle-Tom she-goons like Michelle Malkin, Black Idiot Pastors like “The Reverend James David Manning” and Jesse Lee Peterson (Neo-Nazi Sean Hannity’s “Black” Pastor), bigots with guns, bigots in suits, The Neo-Nazis at FOX News — the ReTHUGlican mouthpiece, and many other media outlets across the US, have ganged up against Obama to disseminate big FAT lies …..hoping to floor his candidacy.

They are running around “spamming” the Internet and the air-waves with stinking HYENA dung.

This relentless smear campaign against Sen. Barack Obama has forced him to launch FightTheSmears.com.

Common Smears Circulating on The Internet/Air Waves:

1. False attempts to cast Obama as a Muslim

2. False attempts to cast Obama as un-American

3. Malicious attempts to question Obama’s citizenship and patriotism — some falsely claim he was born in Kenya, and is related to Kenya’s Prime Minister Raila Odinga,….a Communist!

This is totally false — Obama is American and Raila Odinga is a “True Democrat,” and a patriotic Kenyan — a Freedom Fighter who is solely responsible for ALL future steps Kenya will take to democratize its political institutions.

I have also read on some websites that Raila Odinga ordered the recent Kenyan “Mini-Genocide!”

This is also FALSE!

Raila Odinga was robbed of an election he won outright — by political forces in Kenya who operate in the same mode as the George Bush’s Republican dictatorship in America.

The violence that erupted was not caused by Prime Minister Odinga.

The blood-letting in Kenya was a direct consequence of fraudulent election theft by “President” Kibaki and his Mount Kenya MAFIA goons.

4. False attempts to portray Obama as linked to terrorists — “a threat to mainstream white America”

5. ….and many more scurrilous lies and contortions.

Websites like Snopes.com have also listed and debunked many of these anti-Obama e-mail lies.

The “utter ignorance, illiteracy” and “racist inclinations” of some Americans just exacerbates the situation. 1 out of 7 Americans can’t point to Iraq on a map. Even more don’t read newspapers regularly. Most are glued to their TVs and car radios, consuming FAT falsehoods spewing out of the mouths of pundits, NAZI talk show hosts and Fox News.

Fortunately, younger Americans (who flock to Obama in large numbers) tend fare much better because of a voracious appetite for the Internet.

Extreme Ignorance in America!

Some illustrations:

A focus group conducted with 12 independent voters for NBC and The Wall Street Journal earlier this month in Charlottesville, Va., found that fully half said “no” when asked point-blank if they thought of Obama as an American. Two believed he is a Muslim and another mentioned the Quran fabrication.

One voter concluded that, “The United States of America should be run by somebody from the United States of America.” When reminded by the reporter capturing the footage that Obama is, in fact, American, the voter responded: “He’s Muslim.”

Voters widely and repeatedly cite information that has been gleaned directly or indirectly from the e-mails to explain why they won’t support Obama.

A Pew survey found that one in 10 Americans think Obama is Muslim, a misperception that crosses party lines.

Sample Smear Videos:

Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone said on Fox News on June 1st that “there’s a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.”

Truth: Stone conceded on June 2nd that he hasn’t met anyone who has seen the tape and that it therefore may be a hoax.

Barack Obama is a Muslim — and has attended a “radical madrassa.”
