Hi Frannie: The Old Geezer here.. Yeah, you're not old, just 82. My wife is 80, and I am right behind her. Young and younger...
Yep: we are the people who have been there and done that. We see things others don't because of our age.
I am a brickmason by trade over 50 years" experience as a mason, foreman, supt. and then my own contracting business. Today, I see it everywhere. Where I live, a booming GA city, you can hardly find an American worker. Only illegals. I see it in all the trades; sheetrock; cement; plumbing electrical; framing; landscaping etc. Not only that, nearly all jobs for the working class employee is gone.... totally gone; most manufacturing is done overseas... that's where the blue collar worker made his living. The high techs are gone overseas too. I get at least 5 calls a week by someone I can't understand; my credit card co's and banks all have foreigners making their calls. It is bad...especiallly for the unskilled workers who were unable to go to college. Something is bad when auto mechanics make $100,000 a year and a good craftsman who has spent four years as an apprentice, and then more years honing his skills must compete with $7.00 illegals. Our welfare rolls are filled with people who earn more than some craftsmen. It's happening everywhere. My wife has over 50 grandchildren, and I have a bunch too... and they are scattered across the country so we get a good picture of how the other half live... Not only that... we are retired and have the time to be on Free Republic all day and all night if we want to.... We get the picture...the whole picture. AND ONE MORE THING: BUSH HAD BETTER GET ON THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM BEFORE HILLARY OR OUR PARTY IS IN GRAVE PERIL OF BEING DEFEATED
