| When Obama's FDR program to build roads, churches, hospitals and schools begins, you can stand in line with Pablo and Juan and maybe get one of the jobs ahead of an illegal.

| Actually, license plates should be relatively cheap to make for delaware. They no longer use stamping applications to make delaware plates -- but just a simple matter of applique of a blue plastic background on an aluminum blank, with numerals added later. Any halfway decent sign shop uses the same technique today -- and would be able to knock them out hand over fist.

I'm guessing it is a numbers thing, HB. We don't have that many, and it probably would cost more, even with the cheap labor, when you add in the cost of added security, maintenance costs, the relatively small jobs they would have to run, etc.

I wonder why we gave up on the idea of having inmates make the plates like they do in other states?
Gutzy, I don't think most of our illegal immigration problem has a lot to do with farmers hiring illegals to pick crops. I'm trying to find the reference, but it was recently published that less than 5% of the people in the country illegally are doing agricultural work. A much greater percentage are involved with the construction and landscaping business and the meat processing companies. No industry is uninvolved but those three were the big employers. I used to work with migrant pickers and they came over for the season on special visas and went back home after the fields were done. Those were mostly good folks and weren't here for a handout or to scam the system.
But not to worry, soon your new leader will join hands with the residual players down there in DC and ,Presto, Chango, no more illegals, -until the next day when the next 25,000 swarm across the border to start the build up of tens of millions for the next amnesty.

I suspect the license making was out of the hands of the Governor. For one, they were the only qualified company to bid on the contract. If I remember correctly, the old company simply got out of the business....and the new company was cheaper, as well.

Amen brother!!! amen....
my party affiliation is with the creator of all that is seen and unseen and I do believe He is in control. I see this time as a flushing of the 'poop in the pipe' and exposing the greed among our own countrymen.
For instance, did you know that the trading of oil and gas futures is done in foreign markets, by american wall-streeters, who made this manuever so that the US had no control over the prices it's own citizens would pay for gas. How devastating was this to the economy??? And the whole mortgage fiasco - don't have to spell this out - but again we have american companies screwing americans.
The interesting thing in all this is that the cost to our nation for this greed - just the recent stuff exposed for all to cry about - is the result of our most EDUCATED citizens. Colleges around the country are pumping out graduates who are too smart for their own good. So, I think, having come from a college environment that the major issue facing this country is that the most educated among us are helping themselves to our peace of mind.

I was livid when I heard the news regarding the Delaware State License Plates
contract being awarded to a CANADIAN firm! I certainly hope Jack Markell does
a better job than ol' Ruthie!

I believe it was Julius Caesar who first proposed the idea of caring for the bottom feeders because he believed that to do otherwise would result in an uprising.
So, suppose we stopped all public assistance...would there be an uprising? What exactly would we do then about the starvation of children and old people?
Who among us would take up the care and feeding of those who genuinely cannot take care of themselves or sustain themselves when we stop public assistance? Because that is what we would be faced with. Poor people happen in society - they are not the problem.
Again, why do we have migrant farm workers to pick our produce? Because our LOCAL growers don't go into the community to hire. This doesn't have a thing to do with welfare or politicians or lazy americans. This has everything to do with the individual companies who do business in this country. It was the decision of Comcast CATV to ship their call center to Canada; Perot Health Systems (Blue Cross/Blue Shield) has a HUGE presence in India where all your calls are transferred; and it is the decision of Walmart to buy all that tainted sh*t sold in China.
We can't 'buy american' from american companies...sad, sad, sad...can't even buy local that isn't picked or pissed on by foreigners...sad, sad, sad...we have only ourselves to blame.

Here's my question to all of you: why do we need migrant farmworkers? Are there no americans trained in the specialty of picking apples, peaches, and melons?
This would change if those of us who still vote and still care about what happens in the US of A would elect legislators and executives who would have the guts to outlaw public assistance. No welfare, food stamps, subsidized housing, and Medicaid. End it all.
IOW, a total repudiation of LBJ's "Great Society."
You see, instead of folks working and caring for themselves and their families, that stuff has created a dependency class that would rather live of the public dole than perform necessary work. It therefore becomes cheaper to pay pennies on the dollar to migrants, and less to illegals, to do work that Americans would have no choice but to do if there were no PA programs.
The old phrase "Root Hog Or Die" come to mind here!

I'm with you 100%..... I was in a department store last week and they had a sport coat reduced down from $250.00 too $90.00 plus another 50% at the check out. When I looked I saw it was made in China, I didn't buy the coat but you are right it is getting hard to find anything made in U.S.A.

For years now, I have boycotted foreign made items as much as possible.
I refuse to buy ANYTHING that is made in PAKISTAN especially.
No French wines in my house.
It is extremely difficult not to buy items made in China, but I do my best.
If I am going to spend $5 or $ 6 for a pair of socks, they had better be made
in the good ol USA.
The prices people are paying for DESIGNER items that are made in third world
countries is INSANE.
Many Americans can , in part, thank themselves for the high unemployment
because they continue to buy all these products from countries whose governments
are soft on terrorism and really don't like us very much.
I refuse to drive a gas guzzler so that the Saudi's and the rest of OPEC can
line their pockets.
Most Americans do not do their part to support their own country FIRST.
They go to the voting both and pull the lever for the party that is soft on illegal
immigration! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ?
When I am interupted at work, with a phone call from someone who is obviously
calling from New Dehli or where ever and I can't understand a word they are saying,
it infuriates me. If any company wants me to listen to their pitch, they had better
have an American on the line or I simply hang up!
I also try my best to find American doctors when I need one. Do we have ANY
Americans in Med School anymore?
WAKE UP PEOPLE!

There are no jobs to be had...no matter how small or how insignificant...I worked for 10 years for Wesley College and got my walking papers so that they could pay the new administration....that was 7 months and 40 jobs applications ago.
And, if you are still one of those who believe there are jobs then try calling someone at the Sears department store in Dover...they will be happy to forward your call from Bangladesh...or try calling Comcast catv...the lady in Canada would be happy to help.
This is what the media has been saying all along about our job market...it's overseas, or in Canada.
There are jobs and there are more candidates to fill those jobs than ever before. The competition is more than fierce...it's downright ugly out there folks...so don't be so quick to believe jobs are out there waiting for willing candidates.

Interesting comment down below...I've not looked for a job outside my employer for the last 9 years, and don't expect to have to do so, so I don't look at the want ads all that often. However, I do keep a profile up on Monster, and the jobs certainly have tailed off over the past couple of months.
I don't think McDonalds is looking for lifers, but they are certainly looking for certain demographic profiles.
I also checked the want ads from yesterday's News Journal...there were about SIX jobs there. Now, I get that there are other sources today, but still....

Here, Here stinky! I bet these nut jobs are the very same folks that might posit: "guns don't kill, people kill people!" Well I am not an NRA guy, but I do buy that argument. This logic stands...if there isn't a market then there isn't a dealer!!
Again I am not defending the actions. But the man or woman paid the debt. Its over!

i know of a guy who went to mcdonalds a couple of weeks ago, desperate for a job, and after the interview the manager told him she wouldn't hire him because he would probably just quit later on. my guess is if you are older than 20 or have an i.q. of more than room temperature, you won't have much luck. apparently mcdonalds is looking for "lifers".

I have to step in here, Playing the Game. You can not just find a job anywhere, especially in Dover. Have you even read the help wanted section of any newspaper for Kent County lately? There is not a lot of places hiring, not to mention the businesses in Dover closing. I think before you start giving out advice about working, get out of your bubble of a world you live in and see whats really going on around you Game. I bet you haven't looked for a job in years, you probably don't even read that part of the newspaper.

I'll tell you why , because you were out for fast money and you didn't care about the people that where harmed from using the drugs. Now you want everyone to feel sorry for you and when you don't get that job making $60,000 a year you will be back selling drugs.

| I agree life in dover, everybody went completely off track. Who is to say who is going to hell? Thats for God to decide on judgement day. I think people do not have anything else to do. so, here is a thought. To the people out there that are worried about the kids. They are our future. What are you doing to help better society? Does anyone volunteer to help kids, like CASA? Those are abused children that need an advocate in court, or help in an at risk community organization to help children see there is a way out of poverty, like HELPING HANDS. There are so many organizations that help children, I believe its easier to point fingers and say what the problem is facing our children of today, but how easy is it to volunteer time out of our precious little day and help someone less fortunate?

Why don't you move back to NY or North Jersey then we won't have to worry about
you deciding to deal drugs here when you can't find a job and use that as
an excuse to start dealing again.
I have no sympathy for you, only your family.

i hate to sound cold hearted, but drugs don't cause suicide. to a suicidal person, drugs would be an attempt to mask or a way to deal with whatever issue has driven them to such a dark place, but the drugs aren't the cause, they are merely a symptom. and chances are your neighbors son was a thief long before he was a drug addict.
if you think cigarettes aren't bad, watch lung cancer rip a family apart. don't you think cigarette money would better serve a family if it were used for a childs private education instead? and cigarette stores get robbed ALL THE TIME. especially when the prices go up. there just isn't a black market for cigarettes, because they are legal. make them illegal tomorrow, you get prisons bursting at the seams.
in terms of legalization, i don't know if everything should be legal. the truth is, if you want to get rid of cocaine and crack, you'd have to stop the cia from bringing it into the country. barring that, it's up to the individual to decide if they want to ruin thier lives with those types of substances. i personally believe alcohol is the WORST drug available, and it burns my chaps that the government thinks it's ok to encourage people to meet in public places to consume however much they wish, then drive home.
what i know for sure is legalization won't cause an increase in drug use, but will cause an increase in those seeking treatment, not just for thier addiction, but whatever of lifes problems may have caused them to turn to drugs to cope. and that, i'm completely ok with.

drug addicts are no different than alcoholics, gamblers, smokers, or any other activity that is considered addictive. any addiction will tear families apart, can cause crime/theft, compromise personal values, etc. but as long as thier addiction remains illegal, they will be much less likely to seek treatment for it. most of the problems relating to drugs, drug use, and drug sales are the direct result of prohibition. take away the illegality, it removes the criminal element.
and drug dealers don't walk the neighborhood knocking on doors asking people if they want to "score", or force people to do thier drugs. people seek them out for thier services. life in dover cannot be blamed for anyone's actions but his own.
good luck life in dover. and kudos for being so honest. it will pay off for you in the future. and most companies only ask you about the last 7 years or 10 years. so even if you have to wait it out a little while longer, eventually you will be able to check the no box when they ask. keep your chin up.
I don't know of any cigarette smoker who tore their family apart or committed
crimes to buy their cigarettes! It is an addiction, yes, and second hand smoke is
bad, but to throw these people in the same category is not right!
Would you be wishing this former drug dealer good luck finding employment if
you had two family members who committed suicide because of their drug
addictions or had your neighbor's son break into your home and steal your
jewelry and electronics to buy drugs?
Regarding legalization, what drugs would be legalized? The ones that weren't
would still be peddled by the dealers and distributed by the gangs. I can'[ see
our government legalizing crack!

What say you to the children then game? The question assumes that you'd have the courage to answer free of your cowardly screen name...

This statement is not true with someone that sells drugs.
Drug dealers are low as they come.
If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime no don’t do it.
Live in Dover I hope you rot in Hell!

| You guys aren't getting it. Society has passed its judgement and "life" has paid his debt. His past will always haunt him. But by your logic this guy's family should continue to pay for his crime.

Don't give me that crap!
When you sell drugs, you are robbing our society. The addicts & their families lives
are being ruined. What about their neighbors and friends they steal from to get the
money for the drugs. DUI's who kill people are not just drunks, many are driving
while high on drugs. When you sell drugs you are also not paying your share of
taxes which is income tax evasion. If you are on drugs and have children, you
are setting the worst possible example and robbing them of their future.
DRUG USE IS A CURSE ON OUR SOCIETY. THE GANGS AND GANG KILLINGS ARE
DRUG RELATED. HOME INVASIONS ARE USUALLY DRUG RELATED.
HOW MANY YOUNG MEN & WOMEN ARE PROSTITUTING THEMSELVES,
GETTING BEAT UP AND WINDING UP WITH AIDS BECAUSE THEY ARE HOOKED ON
DRUGS?
Get the picture?
If you know someone that is sell or using drugs call the Dover Drug tip hotline the # is 302-736-7140
Here is a more detailed list of helpful numbers http://www.doverpolice.org/
