No, that's not why.
It is the fear and ignorance based opinions you express, not who you agree
or disagree with, that indicates you're not the brightest candle on the
cake.

They made the EV1 back in 95-96.... then sat on the tech for 15 years
claiming they were waiting for hydrogen fuel cells.
And in fact their lastest statments say 2013 for the Volt.
And the volt is another fucking hybrid, with a gasoline powered generator to
suppliment the generation of electricity. The volt is a low range piece of
crap that GM is focusing on because they do not want to make a pure electric
like the EV1. The battery tech already exists to make a a 140 mile range
pure electric.
In fact the ONLY reason they made the EV1 is that CA had a law which said if
an auto maker wanted to sell cars in california, a certian percentage had to
be pure electric... not fuel cell or hybrid. Industry hacks got that law
changed, and within days GM halted EV1 production.

DING DING DING. They still come here for work, because the worst job
here is better than most jobs there... including the jobs in the factories
and manufacturing facilities that moved to Mexico to take advantage of the
slave labor and lack of environmental and labor laws.
The corporate fat cats get you coming and going.... they send your job to
Mexico, so some poor fucker can get paid slave wages there, and has no
recourse when the poor safety conditions result in injury or death.... then
they let migrant workers come here and hire them for the remaining jobs so
they can pay them less and treat them like crap.
Yet you blame the brown people for the problem.... not the CEO that moved
the factory, or the stock holders who are all too happy to fuck the workers
over if it means their shares go up a half a point.
I say stop blaming the folks who come here to make a better life for
themselves and their families... because unless you're an Indian, you're an
immigrant too. And start blaming the fuckers at the top who are gaming the
system for their own profit, at your exspense, and telling you to blame the
mexicans.

Funny I haven't heard about any plans to build a 700 mile long fence along
the Canadian border.
In fact the only immigration issues I ever seem to hear angry rednecks
pissing and bitching about, are those that involve brown or black people.
But then, that's because those are the groups those dumb angry red necks
have been told to be mad at and to blame their problems on.... since I see
you spewing the same old tired uninformed rhetoric, I simply assumed you
were just another trailer park puppet.
You know the guys who fly the stars and bars on their SUV, next to their
"America love it or leave it" bumper sticker, completely ignorant of the
contradiction inherent in flying the flag of a "nation" that tried to
destroy America from within next to a statement that if you don't like
America, you should leave.. Like flying a swastika next to a star of david.
These are the same people who vote for texas oil men, then wonder why gas
prices keep going up and up and up.

The fact is that gas taxes are a fraction of the actual cost of gas.... get
rid of them and the gas prices won;t suddenly stop going up.
It's a handjob.... an ineffectual distraction to take attention off the real
issues.
Those are simply.... lax rules on auto makers regarding fuel standards....
suppression of alternative fuels.... and enron style gaming of the energy
futures trading markets.
All of this bullshit we are currently dealing with is so the people in a few
industries, oil, auto, and energy futures can keep making huge ammounts of
money.
That's it.
They use that money to buy off the government, which is the only real check
on their power.
Then they tell the people who are angry about the situation, that it's all
the mexicans' fault or welfare moms or taxes.
Enough stupid ones believe them to distract people and misdirect efforts.
Meanwhile all the laws and restrictions that were put in place back in the
30 and 40 after these fuckers crashed and burned their little house of cards
and caused an economic depression... have been steadily eroded and worn
down. The estate tax which was put in place to stop lineage rule and
aristocracy from taking over this nation, have been wiped away.
Those who study history know where this road leads....
