Let's force the 2nd or 3rd generation welfare folks to do those jobs...talk about not likely...
Wetbacks - people who bust their ass - sweating in the heat doing jobs no one else wants to do...at least in California, in my Mom's generation, that's what mexicans were called...but, hey, some black folks call each other niggers now....we don't have much of either 'up in here'...
Transmuting Carlin's line -
'Let's make the illegal mexicans fill in the Bering Strait..'
IMHO - The fact that we're a country with such abundance, but have jobs NOBODY wants to do is certainly a statement about us Americans Pat...Indians have lots of nice jobs...Actually some Americans have nice jobs in India, because of all this...
I don't have a practical answer...no American should be 'above' any job if it's what it takes to put food on the table...but this has been turned upside down - no Mexican can be 'above' any joh if it's what it takes to put food on the table...including repeated attempts to illegally emigrate and I'm not even a communist or socialist....
I don't think you can stop illegal immigration. We get recycled immigrants - numerous stories have been done on this...we blow all sorts of dough trying to catch 'em, they die trying to cross the deserts, and the ones who make it and get caught, get sent back to do it again...and it's not Mexico - it's Latin America...you want to 'nation build Iraq?' Fuck me dead - Look at our neighbors! South America??
Profiles in Privelege - a Study of 'American' Society?
I'm gonna write somebody at PBS...
