On TV Last Night . . .

. . . I heard: "We're here tonight cause we got immigration problems spiralling out ofcontrol . . . . Mexicans flocking into this place like some giant %$#& pinata was shattered . . . It's tragic. On the Statue of Liberty it says 'Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free.' It does not say give me your shiftless, your greedy, your indolent, your criminals, looking for a free ticket. We're here tonight to show the government how we feel about minorities taking over our country.The treat us like criminals while they reward them with jobs and *&^% welfare checks. And it's only getting worse." CNN? Fox News? Nope. It was uttered in the movie American History X by the skin head played by Ed Norton.

I'm really tired of the immigration debate. The Mexican immigrants I have met are nice, hard-working people. They do jobs that many Americans won't take, they save their money to share with their family and they do not want attention. They can't afford health care and they are often not educated. Is it so wrong to let them keep their jobs, provide health care and educate their children? I know plenty of Americans who only want to ride the system but complain about someone else who wants help.
