  Immigration
  

  Could someone explain this to me?

  
  WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Organizers predict unprecedented participation in Monday's rallies against a proposed crackdown on illegal immigration, with millions expected to boycott jobs, schools and businesses as a way to show the economic power of immigrants.
  
  This is the headline on cnn.com (5/1/2006). Let me get this straight, people that are not supposed to be in this country are going to protest the government doing something about them being here. Today these people are going "show us" by not shopping, going to work, going to school how much we would miss them if they were not here? hmmm? This has go to be the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of. Hundreds of thousands of criminals are walking the streets giving the law of the land the big brown finger. They are saying "We are here in the country illegally and we don't care about your laws rules and regulations. We are above them. Because we have served you as waiters, maids, farm workers, construction workers, all at less than the going rate of pay we stand on a higher moral ground and we have proven we deserve to be here!! So screw you!!"
  
  Well you know if someone was standing in the town square whipping the crowd into a frenzy those might be great words. There is only one big problem, its all crap! The facts are this a great number of people involved in this are here illegally! Why does this keep getting overlooked? Where else in the world can you just show up and decided to live there? No visa, no passport no nothing just a stolen shopping cart full of oranges! I hear from some of these people that they do jobs that most American don't want to do anymore. Well in many places around the country these folk have STOLEN jobs from people that we doing them before. Many farm workers around the country were black Americans who were also in the search of the American dream. To work and and to be an important productive part of this great country. But here is what happened. Some of these folks that we have been talking about showed up and said to Mr. Farm owner and Mrs. Hotel owner, that we will work for a great deal less. We will not ask for a "living wage" or health benefits, or or safe work environments. We will work for less and keep our mouths shut. Why? BECAUSE WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!! How honorable is that? How high is that moral ground?
  
  So today people the have broken the law will take to the streets to protest a government that is sworn to uphold the laws? hmm....
