The United States has failed to do both for a long period of time and we arrive at the situation we have today. The illegal immigration issues for either side is broken down in many different ways to suit what ever side you are on. Often the word “illegal” is left off and you are left with an immigration issues which is not the problem at all.<br /><br />On one hand people talk about poor mothers and kids who do not get enough to eat or live a miserable life. They say that these people need, or better yet, deserver a better life. So it is wrong to prevent them from going where ever they want to get this better life. Laws ,they say, should be broken if it helps a family to do better. I am all about helping a person or family to do better, the world can afford that. But to say a country should ( and that is what many want ) just open their gates for a third of another countries population for the sake of a better life is another matter. Some would believe that the right for a human being to live better is much greater then an countries laws<br /><br />Even when the term “illegal” is used in the discussion it is normally followed with a “so what”. As in where would American be if not for these illegal? Who would take the jobs no American wants? Who would pick our crops, build our houses, and do low wage manual labor? As if to say “Hey, we got you guys now. What would you do with out us?” I have heard it said that “They would not come over here if we did not need them so much”. As if to say that it is partly our fault. The question of law does not even come into play when they speak of these poor peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583652.post-1145049717160126902006-04-14T14:21:00.000-07:002006-04-14T14:21:00.000-07:00Well I wouldn't agree to Immigrants having a right...Well I wouldn't agree to Immigrants having a right to overthrow anything in the U.S. but I can have compassion & an understanding of thier cause.<BR/><BR/>It would be hope they would have respect for the traditions of our nation, respect for our flag and a realistic relization that we are a nation of laws. <BR/><BR/>As an American my first consideration goes to poor Americans that need these jobs, and immigrants that followed appropriate procdures in entering the United States.Anthony T.

And "THEY" will succeed, via sheer numbers, true empowerment of the people and the establishment of truth, it's the inevitable change which this country was designed to accomplish, as this globe becomes a world of continents, and thus a world of global humanity.

I never gave much thought to it. In 1991 I received a promotion and was relocated to Memphis Tennessee. I was astounded to find an area that was entirely black and white with Memphis itself being a majority black city much like New Orleans. You see I am from Houston and had never seen a black hotel maid until I got to Memphis, ditto for construction and restaurant jobs.<BR/>I have since moved on from Memphis but since I met my wife there we return a couple of times each year. Now Memphis has been overrun by illegal aliens and none of the hotel maids speak english. Of greatest concern are jobs in construction. There many blacks, even felons learned trades and were able to become small businessmen. I guess my point is that millions of low wage workers have actively displaced black worker. That is a fact. blackmanredstate.blogspot.comgregstephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02585638624511356129noreply@blogger.com
