I have hesitated to comment on this subject at length but I can no longer restrain myself.
The true reason the illegals are getting away with this movement, is because we the factionalized citizens of this country are allowing it. We can't seem to act together unless we are under fire. Well guess what?
We are under attack.
Americans are generous to the point of our own detriment. We want to help; we want to give people the benefit of the doubt. The vast majority feel that people are basically good. I would compare the situation to an extended family with all the requisite dynamics. Everyone has or knows of a shiftless cousin or sibling that constantly plays on the good nature of an indulgent parent or grandparent. Can you guess who the players are here? The shiftless cousin is the illegal we’ll call him Fred . The indulgent Grandparent is the American public . And we are the rest of the family that does nothing. There are some relatives that say . “You can’t blame Fred, He’s had such a hard life” does that sound like the political left? Others might say “Well, as long as he’s not in my back pocket its O.K.” But when he runs off with grandma’s Oldsmobile and blows her social security check with a stripper from Omaha. Who pick’s up the tab?
The point is we as Americans have allowed this to happen. In Los Angeles we didn’t say anything when multi-generational black owned brick laying companies went belly up because illegals took over the trade and worked for pennies on the dollar. We continue not to say anything as illegals subvert every other form of business endeavor . Of course they succeed. Since the business is only marginally legal , why pay Workers comp, overtime or even minimum wage? Medical insurance? That’s the closest emergency room.
How does the illegal impact our society? How about diseases like Tuberculosis, Small pox, Typhoid and Polio. T.B. and Small Pox were virtually eradicated in this country decades ago. Now both are making a comeback. Check with the C.D.C. you will find Polio and Typhoid cases are being reported in record numbers .
Here’s another impact for you . Where does your high school age kid work? Can he/she even find a job. Around here it’s pretty tough for a High School kid to compete with a thirty-eight year old man who supports his family of five on Burger King Wages. When I was a kid a lot of us started with jobs at gas stations or digging sprinkler ditches. Some got jobs at the local carwash. Usually the ex-cons worked the dayshift and the kids worked after school. For some it was an eye opener, most of my peers had no notion of what went on in prisons. I worked for a dairy during highschool. Of course the dairies are gone now. It seems that people who just spent $500,000.00 on a house built on pasture land,don't like the smell of cow manure.
I had one seventeen year old tell me that he couldn’t get any of those jobs because they were all occupied by illegals. So I called a friend of mine who sells plumbing supplies to contractors. He had been complaining about his warehouse guy being next to useless. I asked him to consider hiring an American to do the job and sent the kid over to see him. He fired the illegal and hired the kid. The kid works after school and weekends and gets more done with more accuracy than the illegal did on full-time.
It may not be the overall solution to the problem but it’s a step in the right direction. If you have a job to fill hire an American, if you have an entry level job that is occupied by an illegal who wants to make a career of it. Send them down the road and hire an American. If you know someone who needs a job make a phone call, because you all know of a job that’s being occupied by an illegal.
The activists want to make this a Mexican vs. American issue, this is to obfuscate the fact that they are defending people who are here Illegally. They want to make it about ethnicity well okay.
I know a young lady Bethany Alvarez who, while waiting for her classes to open up at the college applied for a job at one of the big chain Italian restaurants. Bethany speaks four languages in addition to English but was turned down because she wasn’t “Bi-lingual” and therefore would not be able to communicate with the cooks and busboys.
Bethany wants to be an attorney. She said it gave her immense satisfaction to serve the manager of the restaurant with court papers. This means discovery of employment records and other embarrassing documents. I’ve known Bethany’s parents and their parents nearly my whole life. Her great grandparents emigrated hear legally some seventy years ago. Bethany compared notes with some of the people she had been in line with and found out that the only people who were called back for interviews had Hispanic surnames. If a large national chain is allowed to discriminate like this in California, How long before they pull the same stuff in Fargo. Maybe it already is happening.
Get off your butts and help take back those entry level jobs. Make phone calls and let business owners know you will support them. And even if your dog pays more attention, let your elected officials know how you feel. Go on record. For every phone call they receive they know there are a hundred others that share your opinion, and believe me if there is one thing politicians can do, counting voters is it. Let's give Fred a kick in the pants before he and Trixie run off with the Delta 98.
