Allyn & Co. placed a full-page ad in March in several newspapers nationwide saying the exercise of U.S. sovereignty must be a "shared responsibility," with Mexico having a voice. In calling for a guest-worker program, the ad said "a large number of Mexicans do not find in their own country an economic and social environment that facilitates their full development and well being."
What a coincidence - most of the people on this planet are in the same boat while having the advantage of higher education and skill levels. I dare say most of them, if allowed to come here, would diligently work to learn our language and customs while respectiong our laws. There was a time, kids, when that was the norm...an era when half the space in a supermarket wasn't covered with bilingual redundancy (or as I think of them: white flags of surrender in the form of text).
BUMP to what you wrote. Dead on!
