George Carlin's Solution to Save Gasoline

I live in a city that all of our factories have been outsourced to many different countries, there are many poor Americans that would love to do that grunt work, that the illegals do, it is just because they are American's the rich people won't hire them, because they will have to pay them a whole $5.15 an hour our federal min. wage, some states it is a little higher, but in the state I lived in where there is an estimated 250 thousand illegals in the state. That is 250 thousand grunt jobs, I know many that would love to have. George Carlin, is funny, and smart. Some of the things he says are off the wall, but they are really viable solutions, that really isn't so off the wall.

I agree with you. Americans deserves the the jobs more than the immigrants. They pay tax after all. People, like ants will go to where the food is (or in this case, the money is). So, do we blame the immigrants for going to US for the job opportunity that is missing in their home country? Or do we blame it to the greedy corporates who cut costs buy cutting throats of their own fellow citizen? Well, it is easier to blame on the immigrants of course. They probably won't even understand you. But this is altogether a different issue. I was commenting on the absurdity of the "idea" that deporting immigrants might save fuel. It wont. It might increase costs, create job voids and some other mayhem instead. Now, again I agree that the "comedian" is a great comic. Smart in creating funny jokes. ALL of what he says is off the wall though, not just some (at least in this one). Lets see, His idea of cutting fuel cost is 1. Deport all immigrants - This would not decrease fuel consumption in any measurable amount. One single middle class American family might be using fuel more that 3 immigrant families. Deporting them would cause other problems, such as job voids (at least for some times), increase in production cost which might over time translates to decrease in tax collections. 2. Bring back US Troops from Iraq (I second this motion) and let them guard the border (huh?), when they catch immigrants, send them to Iraq - You mean the war in Iraq is not consuming fuel? How does this become a solution to Fuel management? So, no, there is no viable solution in his idea. I didn't find any. But I'd love to be proven wrong though

I think that even though there are some flaws with it. I have to agree with you it would prove themselves to this country. I thinhk it is a good ideal, no matter where it came from. When I got to Mexico, I speak the langauge(At least the best I can, which is only a little, but that is why I only go for short visits when I go.)I also will speak French when I go to visit Canada if I am in a french speaking part of Canada. (which is also very little, but more than Spanish.) If I was to go to live in another country I would want to know the langauge so I could communicate with everyone I needed to. That is the thing I think most American's get mad over. Our Ancestors had to learn English, why should we have to learn Spanish, when they are in our country not the other way around.
