My response to a leftist. "Joseph"
No rational person would condone what has happened to this poor women - I hope the perpetrator is located and justice is done BUT I do get very sick and tired of American "red necks" blaming all and everything on illegal immigrants and "aliens". How easy and convenient that is to do - stops you having to face the truth. "American rednecks?"
What most Americans fail to grasp (or don't want to grasp because the truth is too awful) is that without these 'illegal immigrants" Americas highly indulgent lifestyle (compared to most other first world countries) would fall apart at the seams. These (mostly decent, law biding and desperate people) do your housework, groom your gardens, clean your toilets, walk your dogs, do all manner of menial tasks (often through the wee small hours so that your daily lives aren't "too inconvenienced"). They do the 'behind the scenes" jobs that most Americans don't want to do for what can only be described as shockingly low hourly rates and they do this because your government, for the most part, conveniently chooses to turn a blind eye to what amounts to unfettered abuse of people who have no other way of feeding and providing for themselves. Perpetuating the myths and using the mantra of the leftists, "Blame America." In fact, most illegals have committed a federal crime by illegal entry, about 60% are illegal crossers and 40% visa overstays. Also, many though I have no figures, commit additional felonies by using bogus federal documents such as a Social Security card. If they were such good, law-abiding people they wouldn't be here. Much to the contrary, they've shown a total disregard for our laws and our borders, and they've shown a total contempt of this nation by sneaking in, hiding out, then demanding certain rights.
Have any of you ever asked the question - why are these "illegal immigrants" so desperate to come to your country. I'll tell you why - because over the last 100 years America and countries like the UK and France have extorted and distorted both the world economies and third world countries for personal gain and power to such an extent that people in those countries can barely eek out a basic living - they can't afford to drive a Lexus to work, redecorate their homes twice a year because of the latest trends, buy endless consumer goods and dispose of them weeks later for the newer model - no - these people are forced to work for unspeakable amounts of money and long hours to make those very consumer goods you trash in a heart beat. Globalisation - the manipulation of poor countries by large greed obsessed nations like the USA is killing this world. These people are now 'payback" for what America has done over this time - you are now getting your just desserts as a consequence - just like the EU is now experiencing with the influx of western europeans. Clueless propaganda.
Be thankful you have "illegal immigrants" or you'd have to clean your own toilets. It's time American showed a little more humility towards these poor souls who have been separated from their loved ones to come to a land that has a seriously bad attitude to them - and then wants to to pay them as little as $2 and hour to maintain their indulgent lifestyles - shame on America for doing this I say!
