Illegal aliens didn't build U.S.
Pittsburgh Tribune Review ^ | March 29, 2006 | Jack Markowitz

Posted on 04/01/2006 6:57:01 AM PST by Supernatural

It's a new chapter in the Promised Land. We are becoming The Land That Better Keep Its Promises - or Else. Even promises that never were made.

A half-million illegal aliens and friends and sympathizers have taken to the streets of late, demanding unhampered residency and employment. Their anger is being whipped up against an America that would fence its borders against more coming over, and require proper payroll-keeping and taxpaying from employers who hire them outside the law.

Why? In part because a new myth is gaining currency. It is that illegal immigrants, mostly of Mexican or other Hispanic origin, "built this country." Without them the economy would collapse.

"We are the motor of this nation!" a speaker harangued the 500,000 who marched in Los Angeles on Saturday. "We construct your schools! We cook your food!" Other thousands marched to this beat of indispensability in Phoenix, Denver and Milwaukee.

That people who entered the United States by stealth feel entitled to tie up U.S. downtowns with their grievances is nervy in the first place. But their slant on U.S. history is off the wall. No better clue might be needed that kids should be taught in English, fast!

It was religious freedom-seekers from England who began building this country, followed by natives of every part of Europe, Asia and Africa. And their descendants keep right on building it as e pluribus unum Americans -- "out of the many, one." Don't expect them to honor some dubious economic necessity to let everybody in.

Please read the whole story. The author makes some good point as to what would happen if the illegals were out of the country and who would take "the jobs Americans won't do".

--excellent article.

The most noticable effect if the illegals were to disappear overnight would be empty space in jails and prisons and schools where the academic level would go up instantly---

You know what? I'll cut my own lawn, bag my own groceries, avoid eating at McDonald's and pay the higher wages to American construction workers that they richly deserve. Adios, amigos!

Big story in the local newspaper this morning is how "16 immigrants, traveling in a van were released after U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service agents decided they were not a threat".

On March 16, the illegals filled up their van with diesel fuel, rendering it inoperable.

The men were heading to New Jersey to work. They had already been stopped in Indiana and ordered to appear in court once they reached their destination.

Catch and release again. Happens all the time around here (Pittsburgh, PA area).

Really? Go back to Mexico and be the motor of that nation.

Thanking you in advance.

And you on Monday morning are going to apply for a vegetable picker or janitorial job?

Oh that's right, you probably won't, since the people who run those comapnies are "eviL" capitalists.

They are illegal and shouldn't be here but the reason they are here is people hire them. Employers are the ones causing the problems and they are the ones who should get the jail time. If taxes are not being paid it is because employers are not taking out the taxes from the pay. They are not taking out SS so this too is against the law. Seems to me that employers are the ones selling out America for a buck

Why yes growing food and building buildings is "eviL", evil, I say.

I am an American who doesn't think people growing food or building buildings are evil.

I guess a less evil occupation for you would be owning a crack house.

I missed it the first time too. I can't tell you how many threads fall into that category for me. I don't live on FR.

Please crippleminded, the way people who do such good things as grow food or build buildings, is a fetish to you. Like hillary.
