style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>I worked in ministry
to Mexican immigrants for more than a decade before moving here in 2002, and I
can tell you that farmers, dairy owners, apartment managers, landscape and
construction companies and myriad other folks are very rarely the ones calling for
an end to the flow of undocumented workers coming in from Mexico. For
reasons that are quite often less than noble, those who need workers and those
who have rentals to fill rely on hardworking, economy-enriching immigrants to
keep their own businesses running. Undoubtedly, some undocumented workers
receive services for which they are not legally eligible; the moral imperative,
however, to care for the weakest and poorest among us is hardly over-exhibited
in this country, and some would argue that indifference to the needs of
"the least of these" is a greater moral, economic and political
threat to the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>
and its people than the expenditure involved in providing necessary
services to those not legally entitled to them. The indisputable fact is
that undocumented workers work, pay taxes, receive less <em><i><font
face=Verdana><span style='font-family:Verdana'>per capita </span></font></i></em>in
proportion to what they pay into the system, contribute to rural and urban
economies, enrich neighborhoods, and frankly make it easier for those of us in
the privileged class -- the socio-political majority -- to live easier
lives. Can good people disagree on immigration policy? Of course.
But good people are those who consider not only the effect of unjust policy on
the poor, but take into humble account the unearned breaks they themselves have
received because of those injustices.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I am very disappointed in what our country has become. We have politicians<br>
who only do what they are paid by the "money people and corporations"
to do.<br>
The article I posted a couple days ago about the inheritance tax is an<br>
example in where the rich get richer because they can buy the influence it<br>
takes to prevent them from paying what they should pay in taxes. Bush's tax<br>
cut for the rich is another example of giving back money to the rich so they<br>
can contribute to incumbent's campaigns and re-elect them. Our system has<br>
been so corrupted by greed. Most of the rest of the world no longer<br>
respects us. I used to fly the flag every day but don't anymore because I<br>
don't want anyone to think I am supporting a corrupt president. This isn't<br>
the same country I served in the Navy for 45 years ago. I can't say whether<br>
our country has become more liberal but we sure have become
"politically<br>
correct stupid".<br>
