ParticipantThanks for taking the time to reread.

ParticipantI like your post “no such” I will read it again. I didn’t understand the “Humble laborer” area of it. I was simply trying to show that mexicans(our primary source of immigrant labor) are every bit as human as we are because there is some attitude in this thread that expresses other sentiments.
I have a problem with the illegal aspect of it too. Take pride ,racism and fear out of it though and the moral dimension of crossing Illegally to work where you truly are wanted and needed, is tiny compared to the moral infractions permeating our system in countless ways. The real injustice is wanting to chew them up and spit them out a vililfy them and make a political issue out of it every time the economy tanks. Some of your examples of how to make adjustments would clearly clean the issue up some if they are possible to implement? Seems like our country has adopted the half ass measures approach to everything.

ParticipantAlex I posted this on another thread but it is working it’s way off. I mean to be helpful.
I read your remarks the other day on another thread and I have a recommendation for you. Create a new file in a manila folder or something like that. Call the file…”MY NEW HOUSE.” over time put things that interest you about your new house in that file..Forget about wether prices are going to go up down or whatever. Then make a mental note to yourself..
SELF. “I am putting this stuff into my “NEW HOUSE” File. I will not buy a house until I understand what I the hell I am talking about.” By that time hopefully the market will provide some chance of you succeeding. ALex it is very important to make a wise financial decision when you sign Mortgage documents. Time is on your side Alex. I have nothing against you Alex you need to listen (read and head)more.

IMHOParticipantYo te intiendo muy bien Perry. Esta gente es muy egoista y hipocrata!
If we had half the charm of the basically decent humble(not stupid) mexican person and they had half the opportunity that the basic selfish self serving american had we would be equals. These people simply come from a place where there is pratically an institutionalized lack of opportunity for so many, even if they are as educated as we are.ParticipantYo te intiendo muy bien Perry.

More of us will have to want those jobs first for ourselves or our kids to put a counter pressure to the business and immigrant lobbies. That won’t happen unless there is a depression but the politicians know many voters are nervous enough about the economy/jobs to be moved by the discusson.So its all talk as other’s have said.
I am not a racist or protectionist from any angle just observations. Its all just so very primal to me.Participant“You have to crack down on the employers offering them jobs.”

I got your origingal post.
You don’t sound numb to me.“Right now you are watching the various institutions, especially the banks, and their lackeys, the appraisors, the RE agents, insurance people, all the way down the line, manipulating their little hearts out, but of course, in the end, the natural order of things wins out, much of the corruption is weeded out, and things return to “normal,” that is, getting screwed in a perfectly moral, legal, and acceptable way.”
I agree 100% even though at times I am in the ranks of the dispicable middlemen!Some people say that if it doesn’t return to “normal” we might see the rumblings of a revolution in this country. I don’t really know and I am not advocating it yet.
Best wishes

ParticipantThe huge appreciation although it occurred over a long period of time, moved in large chunks over relatively short period of time. I guesstimate we are about to see a large chunk removed.Prices have some what stabilized due to seller’s beliefs that it is spring so there is no need to worry.But as we all know not too much moved ,that creates tension. People are going to realize pretty soon that foreclosure activity doesn’t reflect anything like the bottom and that it is in fact a very bad sign for the market.
Wait until we hear the story. “I just bought a foreclosure and now I am upside down and geting kicked out of my house.”
That ought to do it!As far as the Deeper goes in the “faster and deeper” I don’t get that unless you are predicting a depression? it will go as deep as it takes to find support and then maybe, as some people have said swing a little past briefly.
