you'd better not mess with The Other Harry

It kind of gets me when someone so far from the problem ---like Virginia can't recognize there can be a problem. Even in Mexico itself there are discussions on the problems caused by massive migrations of people ---they also have similar situations. I was watching a television show broadcast from Juarez where the panelists were discussing the overwhelming strains to their city and region caused by hundreds of thousands of new residents moving in who had no money, no education. They discussed their hospitals, their schools, they discussed the strains put on the "locals" and their own regional culture, they discussed their now overwhelming crime rate and how the south of their city looks like a refugee camp with people living in cardboard boxes, people who think they can live in cardboard boxes because they come from warm climates like Honduras and Chiapas but the northern desert gets very cold in the winter. Not one person accused anyone of being a bigot or a racist for raising any concerns about overwhelming migrations of people.

Oh, Fitz, never mind about the strain the immigrants put on the hospitals, the welfare system, the schools, etc. They can dig out a bush for $20 flat. That's all you need to know! (-;
