Interesting post.
I can live with a "guest worker" program. Photo, fingerprints, retinal scans and a DNA sample, if you please.
Line forms at the border- on the South side.
What I don't want to see is any amnesty program that lets those who entered the US illegaly ever become citizens. Permanent residents, yes- but not full citizens.
I would grant an exception to this for illegals who agree to join the Armed Forces for a ten-year hitch.
Why don't we hear the Dems railing about the horrible treatment and exploitation of illegals in the U.S.? They are literally treated worse than slaves. They have to accept literal "coolie wages" and unsafe working conditions. Those who complain are either fired with no recourse, or handed over to the INS.
Where are the champions of the working man on this issue?
The Republican Party should use illegal immigration as a wedge issue, to separate the Unions and Hispanics from the rich white elitists in the Democratic Party.
Throughout history there haven’t been too many of those. Not really.
And, yes, you are correct about this being beneath slavery. Something in my life I never thought I’d see surpassed in this country! A slaveowner at least had to feed the slave, clothe him, get a doctor when he was sick. When the slave got old the master had to care for him.
The new “masser” has convieniently even bypassed that. They’re not dumb. Corrupt, evil, willing slavemasters, but not dumb.
Much of this, of course, is due to their “own” kind, who smuggle them, rape them, exploit them, envolve them in organized crime and drugs. Not much different than the tribal leaders in Africa did with their own when they rounded them up and sold them to the slavetraders. They expliot their own for whatever particular piece of silver they deem they “need” at the time. That’s how little they care about the “working man”.
Bigotry at its finest. And they tell us this is “compassionate”?
He who controls the language controls the debate. Our words are twisted out of shape, ie. “guest worker”, “undocumented”, etc., etc., etc.
