I agree! This would fall into my level-playing-field philosophy which says that government's main do-gooder liberal program should be education; not in its current form of course. But, yeah, we should be encouraging immigration and smoothing the path to it. We want the world's best and brightest workers. The US motto should be, "We want YOU! If you're willing to work hard." And the guarantee of that should be essentially free training to get people productive and help them meet their potential. Helping them do that is in all of our best interests. I'll gladly take a tax hit for that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Macromedia ColdFusion MX7 Upgrade to MX7 & experience time-saving features, more productivity. http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion?sdid=RVJW Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:233896 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
