American Eviction

We all remember Carrol O'Connor most notable role other than playing the overbearing sheriff in the movie, "In The Heat of the Night", was playing the character Archie Bunker , an old school bigot who hated on everybody and everything deemed unamerican during the 1960's-70's. Nobody was spared his venomous wrath: Blacks, Polish, Jews Italians, Mexicans and even Homosexuals before it was fashionable cool to bash them in society.

Most of you's have probably seen the media zero in on the illegal immigration issue for like 24hrs/day- 7/days a week now, and all this spectacle has accomplished was too f-ing annoy me. I'll say this and zip my lips because I'm in a period of transition and love, right now with my chi. But this really wasn't a issue for like the last 50 years for some ungodly reason. I mean South/Central Americans have been coming to this country for years so why now is it bad? Please don't tell me because of the terrorists. Here's a fact,If a terrorists group wants to come to your hometown and I dunno, maybe declare a holy war against you, they will and theirs absolutely nothing you can do about it but avoid high profile targets such as Malls, Theme Parks, and Chucky Cheese outlets.

I think a lot of this issue boils down to:
A. Race-Some people are unable rationalize that all complexions are some form of mutation derived from the survival adaptation to one's environment.
B. Politics- Huge political clout on a micro/macro scale.
C. Money- Business's community has whored migrant workers for years and now a voice is rising for fair wages and benefits.

I'm a advocate for allowing people to come to this country and work and have a better life. People seem to say that migrants take jobs, but do I really want to pick vegetables or herd sheep or even build houses?? No, not really plus illegal immigration create jobs too. Immigrants need food, clothes, housing, and other miscellaneous items. What, migrants don't buy laptops or Ipods?

Yeah. My Cherokee (deep down inside) doesn't like the bigotry going on. This is clearly (to me) a 'We don't like brown people' ploy...
It seems UnAmerican to hate on Immigrants. Like, we ALL were immigrants (except for my Cherokee ancestors... yes, I'm milking this, anyway...).
And they may use hospitals and schools, but if we just let them be citizens, then they'll actually have to pay the taxes to help upkeep them. This seems pretty common sense to me (...and the Cherokee inside me). LOL.

Everything boils down to money in the end. And politics and race contribute to that. These people don't have enough money, these people have too much, these people want more. The majority of problems in the world all relate to socioeconomic status.

yeah but most immigrants (like myself) came here legally, after waiting years and paying tons of $ for a visa. these guys just come here. they also get free education and free emergency medical care.
the reason why our government is so lenient on this issue is because they're a very cheap labor force, and we have some weird pact with mexico. If these guys were just coming here and expecting the same wages as an american citizen, they'd be gone in a second.
nothing wrong with hispanic immigrants, but there's something wrong with ILLEGAL immigrants.
