Undocumented Immigrants
OK, illegals, for some of you....We all know that this is a
national debate in the United States that will not be solved
very easily.......We know this section of the populace spends
money (some of the amount left over after their "wire
transfer" to Mexico) and business and commerce, in
general, want their piece of the "peso"......No problem.....
Problem is the fact that this social class knows exactly the
position they are in and take full advantage of it......
Their lack of documentation will not get them in any trouble....
Their lack of english will not get them in any trouble.......
Their not paying taxes will not get them in any trouble.....
Their small "brushes" with the law will not get them in any
trouble......No one is going to ship mom, pop, grandma, two
aunts and one uncle along with 3 native born American
children back across the Rio Grande.......
My grandma and grandpa came via the tramp steamer to
Ellis Island.....Got their papers, learned english and became
citizens......And they work hard at it......
I guess I am pretty tired of people getting away with a lot of
stuff that I could not get away with.....I am also tired of being
asked, "Do you speak Spanish?".....They have learned how to
count and save American money.....And in the end they want
to be buried in Mexico......Pumps
