Somehow the irony of people whose ancestors all came from somewhere else and took the land from those who lived here first deciding that no one else should be able to come here has always fried me!

Then there's that Lady in the harbor in New York who has "give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses" written on her...

That there are people in this world who are so desperate to get ahead that they will pay someone to lock them in a shipping container for a month or month and a half with a bit of food and a couple of 55 gallon barrels of water (to be reused for other things as they are emptied) and risk suffocation; that they will pay someone to lock them in a trailer in the hot sun in the desert; that they will risk everything to drive a pickup from Cuba to Florida or walk across the desert means that these are people who are driven to do something to improve their lives and those of their families. They are the kind of people this country needs instead of the ones like me who have so much and do so little with it...

THIS FUCKIN' COUNTRY HAS ME LIVID BEYOND WORDS! YES, IMMIGRANTS ARE BENG SCAPEGOATED AGAIN NO DOUBT...HOWEVER! We do indeed have a serious illegal problem that has to be taken care of. Yes, they do the cheap jobs, and put food on our tables. I do not deny their enormous contributions, but something has to be done to take care of that border. I figure G.W. BUSH (CRIMINAL) will have a terrorist walk in there to end the debate once and for all and seal it. I oughtta write a post God damnit. Can ya tell I've had it with the politics of this country?

It blows my mind. Maybe when people are paying $10.00 for a small basket of strawberries..they'll wake up.

Don't worry, it's not only the US. We are doing similar things up here in Canada. I think it's all just some big cyclical thing. Beat on one horse until it is nearly dead and then move on. By the time the first horse is back up on it's feet, it'll be time to start beating it again.
