Newsweek ran a beautiful article a couple of weeks ago looking at the NUMBERS(not emotions!). In the next few years due largely to a dramatically falling birth rate in Mexico (it's now similar to ours) the actual numbers of people immigrating will fall so low in comparison to the actual number of jobs available that people in Arizona will be begging for the Mexican workers who fill all of their domestic positions now!

Look at the NUMBERS and wonder WHY we have these discussions--is the American citizenry so naive that we don't look at what is really happening?

I am a small business owner in Eugene. Last year Regence increased our premiums by 45%. My employees rarely use their insurance, there was absolutely no change in anything about the employee group and Regence stated it was an across the board increase.
