Writer's Block: Independence Day

[ishte]

[Error: unknown template qotd] Sorry, I'm not going to dignify this. WE are independent. Mexico? Right now, we are being overrun with illegal aliens from Mexico who should stay in their own country and work if they are so proud of their independence. If their economy is so bad, they should stop depending on ours by sending US dollars back home to Mexico and effect change in their own country to improve conditions. If they really don't like Mexico and want to be Americans let them follow the rules, and apply for entry like anyone from any other country, learn the language and become a part of our country, not claim that LA is a Mexican territory.

Thanks for your comment. The thing is if you listen to the media, you are left with the impression that we're supposed to think we're in the minority with this view, that most people actually think that we should feel sorry for these people who break our laws to come here, break our laws to work here, and never even attempt to make that right or have any desire to actually integrate into our society.

However, I find that is not the case. I can't find a single person in my area who actually feels that way at all. Everyone I know agrees with me, and many have been detrimentally effected in some way by this situation, myself included.

Our leadership makes statements about these people doing 'jobs Americans don't want to do', and I also beg to differ. They are undercutting me in my businesses and the work is often substandard. I feel sorry for any client who trades in my service and has their home cleaned by an illegal who undercuts me. If something is not done satisfactorily, (or heaven forfend they have something damaged or destroyed), good luck to them trying to even communicate the problem with someone who refuses to even learn a rudimentary English.
