Well - better judgement says to keep my mouth shut - But concience won't let me - Here goes and sorry If it pisses anyone off. Its my story and I'm stickin' to it.
I don't think anyone is happy about the situation or the circumstances. However, before we blame every wet back for the debacle we need to look at why they are here. They're here because we welcome them, tolerate them, and allow them to cross the borders relatively unencumbered. The circumstances of why they are here originate within the borders as much or more than they do because of the external reasons. Somebody wants these people here for cheap labor. Somebody wants them here to do the stuff nobody else wants to do. Somebody wants them here because they generally work for low wages as well as long hours. Somebody wants them because, once here, they are a captive work force with little or no rights. And NOBODY wants to pay $5 for a head of lettuce. So, before we take rage on these folks for having opinions, and before we get pissed because they are in such increasing numbers that their opinions and actions begin to count - we had better take a look in the mirror. And before we start a hate campaign against anyone with a foreign accent, we'd better understand that we, the US population have exploited these people for ever. They have a need for a better life and we have needs. To accomplish the end, we - and only we - have provided the means. We've made access easy, we've made jobs plentiful, we've allowed members of our own citizenry to remain on welfare rolls while giving the jobs they could/should be required to do to foreigners - Many of whom come here illegally. We see the enemy folks - and they is us.
