Relates to: Dupnik needs to step downsad and frustratingI don't understand how this belief that 'they are taking from a system they do not put into' is so widespread. "Illegals" are our neighbors, nannies, gardeners, construction workers, restaurant workers. There is a very good chance that the meat you eat was packed by an 'illegal', that the lettuce you buy was picked by an 'illegal' and the house you live in was built by an 'illegal'. I know a woman who went to my same high school and she has been 'illegal' most of her life, it is just something she lives with hanging over her. She does all her shopping here in town, pays sales taxes, pays rent, works hard for low pay, and no, she does not get any government services. How is she 'not putting into the system'?Also consider the case of a child, a US Citizen, who lives in fear that his mother may be deported. How fair is it to subject him to this fear at school, that if he says the wrong thing the school will help 'big brother' swoop down and deport his family? Or are we now calling names and choosing who is a citizen and who is not unconstitutionally? The bill of rights in the Constitution was specifically written to prevent the majority from stripping rights away from any 'unfavored group'. |
