Time to Reflect

I'm the type of person who enjoys a good book; I enjoy getting an eagle on the golf course; I enjoy a good conversation with my wife. What I don't like is reading all of that hate on the editorial page. Recently there has been a bunch of hate concerning illegal aliens. "If you don't speak English you don't belong in America."

Can someone tell me the difference between an illegal alien and a political refuge? Immigrants are immigrants whether they're from Africa or Mexico. O, wait a second, I read someone's letter saying that "illegal is illegal." They are breaking the law by being here. I would bet that the person who wrote that line exceeded the posted speed limit by a few miles an hour in the past week. We are all a little guilty of something.

Folks, I would like to see a raise of hands on who wants to work harvesting beets or tomatoes. I don't see any hands. Who wants to be carrying the hundred pounds of brick to the work site? Who wants to clean the motel toilets? My point is, these people are doing us a great service by taking the jobs that nobody, NOBODY, wants.

I was lucky having been born in America. I have never had the urge to move outside of the country. But then, I was born with a iron spoon in my mouth. My dad worked in the mines and my mom work as a baker. Everything I've gotten I have had to work for. I don't whine over the haves and I don't complain about the have nots. We are in this together.

I think I agree I am tired of hearing all the complaining about illegals but illegals are not just Hispanics. I am work of out and have been for 2 years; I am almost ready to start cleaning toilets; I was thinking of it yesterday. So if they are illegal just get legal. I took in 3 boys older when their mother was deported back to Germany; yep not Mexico she had been here for over 25yrs working and paying taxes they had warned her different times for years but she didn't do what she had to to get legal and I don't think she has return to the US still and that was 12 yrs ago. So illegals are not just from Mexico. And I real don't want to give up my accounting job to go back to toilet cleaning been there done that.
