Illegal Aliens
Over the past several years I've gone through a drastic shift in my position on illegal aliens.
When I started my lawn care business I developed a positive view toward them- based on their work ethic primarily. It's well known in the lawn care/landscaping business that illegals work hard. Contacting with them was a win/win for the small business owner. They'de work their bottoms off for you. Get paid. Then disappear. If you developed a relationship with any of them they would hang around and be dependable.
By and large they'de take care of the equipment, perform their tasks well, not complain about the job, collect their pay and skeedadle out of there.
Now regular home grown young men were/are wimps! They'de complain, tear up ones equipment, cut corners, and have their mind on lunch or quitting time. Too often they would have a drug problem. So depending on them to finish a day or week was expecting too much.
In every category illegal aliens outperformed the local home grown variety. This does not factor the godless amount of paperwork the government expects small business owners to complete on each employee.
Now comes 911 and the absolute scandal of open borders. Here we are- sitting ducks for any terrorist that chooses to enter this country and wreck havoc on us. Too many terrorists have already come through the southern borders.
Problem is illegal aliens come through as well. We have something like 20 million illegals in this country. Most of them think of America as a place to work so they can a). Send money home, b). Disappear into society to commit crimes c). Think of themselves as conquerors of land that was wrongly acquired through the loss of wars and/or purchased by us.
It is a well known statistic that approximately 60% of Mexicans think California, Texas, New Mexico and Arizona belong to them. Too many illegal aliens thumb their nose at the American flag. Protesting their "right" to jobs, income and heaven knows what else they parade down streets and see living here as a full sponge that is theirs by right. Their right to suck from as they please.
For the record I'm favorable to any immigrant that wants to come here, work at a job or start their own business. Pay taxes, follow the law, raise their kids properly- even have a dedication to their home country. But if they are not citizens then they should 'shut up' about what they think is wrong with this country. If they become citizens then they swear to defend America against all enemies foreign and domestic.
I'm giving myself heart burn already! So I'll blog on this tomorrow
