[DeTomaso] Immigrants - NPC

[audionut at hushmail.com]

The "immigrant flap" is over simple law enforcement action spun by
certain manipulative media outlets to look like some kind of vicious
hate agenda.  It isn't. Mexican people who sneak into the US have been
getting a free pass on this for over 100 years, if I'm guessing right,
ostensibly because small American businesses benefit from cheap labor
that can be paid under the table to avoid the crippling costs of
complying with gov't employment regulations. Perhaps now that nearly
all small American businesses have been either buried or swallowed up
by corporate giants we figure we've got enough cheap labor?

The last of my family that came to America was Grandpa Pete.  Somehow
got to
Liverpool from Sweden and entered Wyoming  from Canada. His foreman
took a
job at a gold mine in Colorado and wrote to Pete offering him a job.
(skip
the local color) Pete met the young girl that brought the mail to the
mine,
she coming up with the only female jack-packer. One day a fellow from
the
phone company asked Pete if you could really  ski, "Ya, sure!" Pete
worked
for the phone company for almost 50 years.
The point of the story here is that WE are all immigrants. Unless you
can
document residence from before the Bering Land bridge, you came here
to
live! The question should not be whether or not you are an immigrant,
but
will you be a good citizen? Work, contribute, vote. Sadly, Grandpa
Pete
decided if he was going to live here, he would learn the language and
be a
good citizen. So, no Swede talkin' here beyond pogen . .  . . and I
was
raised to be a good citizen.  Viet Nam x2? Worked most of my life and
turned
out to be a grouchy old man.
