I heard an interesting point today and it will no doubt raise a few hackles but when did that ever stop me.
Over the last 40 years, it's been well observed that when any types of aid is suggested by the government in power; food assistance, housing assistance, and such, almost by default, from the democrats, there would arise a cacophony of 'let the lazy so and so's fend for themselves', 'don't touch our programs' and 'them' are often inferred as illegals, coincidentally directly corresponding to a large increase in population of blacks and hispanics. It just so happens this subtle inference corresponded to 'the final death moans of the blatant segregation in many parts of the US and the large increase in the population of hispanics and blacks.
Before the late 60's it was less obvious and boisterous especially after the depression and WW11 because them was us. Racism and bigotry is alive and well in the US of A, it's just sneakier now. These underprivileged are often depicted in various media using the same faces.
This point hit home hard with me because I heard on more than one occasion, in the last few town hall debates, the massive opposition to 'them', the how many thousand if illegals in the US. Were they going to qualify for assistance. The outright hatred burst through for just seconds time and time gain. Then shock of shocks, the politicians would lower themselves, knowing that these were their constituents/voters and said these illegals would never qualify.
Yet if 'them' were sent home packing how big would the effect be on the US economy in general be and in particular states on the borders and coastal boundaries.
It's my thinking that when the health program is put through in whatever form, 'them' will be given an amnesty and quickly become us, add to the tax base, better contribute to the economy and help pay for whatever increase may occur. The moneys used for the INS's fight against this kind of 'foe' can be spent elsewhere. Welcome aboard whoever you are. Remember most of you/us came to this little corner of the world from somewhere.
Mind you, the no mind rednecks will something or someone else to spew about in no time.
