The problem isn't immigration, or even illegals so much as it is all the big companies closing up shop in the US and moving their operations
elsewhere (China, Mexico). But you can't blame them either, because if the government hadn't taxed the hell out of them in the first place, their
factories would still be here.
Yep, it is the fault of big business and our government.
It's our payback for taking advantage of poor people. It's our nations kharma.
The same thing happened when we enslaved the Africans and made them work for free. Our country is still paying for that mistake...and what a mistake.
Can you imagine what our cities would be like if we had never dragged the slaves over here?
But, we screwed up and now we pay the price.....
and we haven't learned because in essence we are doing the same thing again only with illegal Mexican immigrants. They're doing work and getting
paid a wage that no smart American would touch with a 10-foot pole. Why aren't Americans taking these jobs? Because the average American aspires to a
higher standard of living, a white-collar-type job (or if "blue", than one that makes very lucrative money). So in a way, the joke is on the
Mexican, because even though he's making more money (than 2 dollars a day down in Mexico), he's still being underpaid by American standards and
being taken advantage by the white businessman in America. So, even though he gets to come here, he's still getting screwed in terms of
salary........but then, there's all the other elements of our system he gets for free and takes advantage of.
