No the woman is absolutely right. All we have done is prove to the
world that we are indeed a bunch of bigoted assholes, as if they
didn't know that already.



Bull***

that bill was bad government. Biometric cards that they had no idea how to make. Tamper proof my ass. A giant computer tracking system they probably couldn't make work. Guest workers out the ass -- giving big business cheap labor and shrinking the middle class.


Same ***, different year.


America's been looking for cheap labor since the south started buying and selling blacks they imported from Africa into the US.

Or the Chinese
http://brownvboard.org/brwnqurt/01-3/01-3f.htm
Only a few Chinese were in the America's until gold was discovered in California in 1848. When news of the discovery reached China, many saw this as an opportunity to escape the extreme poverty of the time. Many peasant families were forced to sell one of their children, usually a girl, in order to survive. Paying $40 cash or signing a contract to repay $160 for passage, thousands were packed into ships for the voyage to the Golden Mountain as they called California. Lying on their sides in 18 inches of space, mortality ran as high as 25 per cent on some ships.

Opinions were mixed about these newcomers. The rich valued them as workers because they were willing to work for lower wages, were clean, dependable, did as they were told and didn't get drunk and fight at work. The working class feared that they would take their jobs. Discrimination was rampant. The Chinese could not become citizens, vote, own property, or even testify in court and had to live in certain areas of town and could only work at certain jobs. Life was hard, but by 1865, about 50,000 had come to the Golden Mountain.



It was bad all around.
