And actually - I know a shitload more about politics in general and this issue in particular than you probably do. So you can take your advice to watch and learn and stick it! Of course I blame the contractors who hire the illegals. I also blame all the other managers and owners of other business who hire illegals for less money than they pay citizens and legal immigrants. And I blame the politicans who get bribed to look the other way when they take money from these businesses and also from right-wing foundations to study market-based solutions to public policy issues. Who really give a crap on how your family got here? Legal...illegal, they still came here... and why did they do that? Looking for a better life than what the could find in the hole they crawled out of I'm sure. That's all these "illegal" immigrants are trying to do. My great-great grandfather claimed to be a Frenchman in order to emigrate to the US in the mid-1800s, because the quota for Germans was already filled. Am I going to be deported to Germany? Let's hope they make you go back! Actually, depending on where he was from (I am thinking Alsace-Lorraine) he could have been French or German at one time or the other. Did he speak both languages? I don't know. The few remaining scraps from his diary are written in German. There is a Chateau D'Isque in Alsace-Lorraine, however. It seems they got chased out of France into Germany in the 1200s by the peasants. I dunno if there is any connection between them and my great-great grandfather. |
