Cargo-- I wish your son the best... the USMC is the point of the spear... toughest of the tough as far as troops go... Semper Fi!
On immigration, I would like your opinion... Feet Service is not threatened by undocumented workers, as they would need to pass extensive background investigations to obtain CIDA. Further, Immigration Reform would allow for a mechanism that would encourage the vast majority of illegals to document themselves, allowing for the US Government to begin a process that would provide revenues, as well as identification of an otherwise invisible millions of people that are impossible, and too costly to locate otherwise.
And one last thing... I agree that we have fought and died for freedom... but we must ensure that Democracy is not replaced by Plutocracy. We are free to do this through the democratic process, but the Plutocrats are chipping away at that freedom with legislation like Citizens United, GOPACS, and Special Interest Lobbyist like the Kochs have billions to augment these efforts. These observations DO, and HAVE had a direct affect on Fleet Service. The NRTA is just the latest in this onslaught brought by GOP Special Interest Groups that will undermine the middle-class worker-- Especially if you are a member of a Organized Labor Group!
