It's not all that complicated, folks.
John McCain wants to change DC, Barack Obama wants to change America.
One candidate believes in and cares about this country, one doesn't.
It's your vote. Make it count.

A Hispanic response to
"Latinos AGAINST Illegal Immigration"
Contributed by Bill Faith

J. Almendariz left the following comment on my Latinos AGAINST Illegal Immigration post at Small Town Veteran. It's too important to just let it languish there where no one will see it.

I am a second generation hispanic. My parents came to the US legally. No one gave them a free-ride. They worked hard and long to obtain the "American Dream" for their family. But, now I am concerned for the future of my family.

We are against the illegals. We find their demands to be offensive.

Don't American Latinos realize that the Senate Bills ... if passed will actually result in our standard of living--Going DOWNWARD. Both S.2611 and the Hutchison-Pence bills allow for virtually unlimited numbers of immigrants into the US without consideration for actual need. Of course the taxpayer picks up the 70 billion dollar tab.

Who will all these new latinos compete with in the job market? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out.

Big Business is pushing for a ready supply of cheap labor. And once the first wave of people arrive, (displacing current workers as there is no job protection under these bills), they will come to the realization that they are being exploited. These new workers will then demand justice. But, the next wave will make their demand a mute issue--dissenter will be displaced.

The Senate bills only favor business interests. Their intention is to create a situation wherein the low-skilled workers will be exploited and US latinos will feel downward pressure on wages and benefits. They are not comprehensive in nature. They do not help hispanics nor gringos nor asians.

We are a nation of immigrants. I don't find that Americans are anti-immigration. I find that Americans know it is impossible to sustain more people than there are jobs for them. As of now...there is no labor shortage in the US (erroneously stated by Pres. Bush). We can and should employ all our people before taking on the rest of the world. And advancing Business interests.
