It’s been awhile since I’ve updated my Blog. Am in the process of moving into an apartment, will be weird living on my own again, but will be good to have my own space and such. As far as news, I’ve still been reading it and still can feel my head threatening to break at some of the things I have read but there has also been articles and points that make me feel a little bit better about the country I live in and the people who are in it. I have to link to an article on Tom Tomorrow’s Blog, someone there was having fun with graphs comparing Nixon and bushes approval and disapproval ratings so click here if you want to see it. A lot of talk about the immigration debate has been going on all over the country and as well within my circle of friends and want to put my opinion out seeing as its my Blog and my place to release the tension between my ears like a pressure release valve. So I believe that if there is going to be immigration reform it should be in the form of enforcing laws already on the books making and making it illegal and have real repercussions if you hire someone who is here illegally, rent to someone who is here illegally or hide and harbor someone who is here illegally. I also believe that if anyone is discovered here illegally they are sent back. I also believe after all this is done and we have cut down on the amount of illegal people here we can probably make it a bit easier to become a legal citizen, I don’t know for sure but I bet part of why its so hard to become one that everyone complains about is because so many people are doing it illegally. I’m sure this is not a very popular opinion but most of the legislation I’m hearing from bush and his people who are pushing for the guest worker program make it sound more like there wanting to create a sub class of workers without the same rights to make it so that the rest of Americans have to work for even cheaper to compete with these now legal illegal workers. The cost of everything in this country has gone up from buying a home to the cost of food and rent and almost anything has gone up with inflation but if you look at the average pay rate, especially for lower paid people it has nowhere near grown in proportion that everything else has. Bush seems to want to do everything in his power to turn America into a country where your either lower class or higher class and destroy the middle class American. That way there will always be cheap labor to make him and his friends more money. This is bullshit and illegal immigrants are making this so much easier on him and making it a lot harder for the rest of us to survive. I come from a pretty small place where I know a lot of people doing the jobs that Bush says "Americans wont do" that illegal will do. And there are real Americans who will do it but bush really should have said that there are jobs that "Americans won't do because we wont pay them enough to live."
