ORIGINAL: stef quote:
ORIGINAL: defiantbadgirl Oh my gosh. There are too few jobs for Americans as it is due to outsourcing. The last thing we need is more immigrants. What is the eventual goal, to keep bringing in immigrants until every American worker becomes unemployed because immigrants work cheaper? The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, With conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightening, and her name Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door." -Emma Lazarus, 1883 Do you feel that was only meant for your white, european ancestors? Oh my gosh, indeed. ~stef Ok, so a second-rate Poet writes that stuff in the 19th century and some people think it's Policy? That poem is one person's observation of the times. Gee, I guess nothing's changed in this country since 1883 eh? In the 1880's we needed immigration, today we no longer do. Oh, the owners of fast food restaurants need it so they can make a killing then the taxpayers get to pay the medical, dental, and other expenses for those fast food owners employees. And for how long are those 7,000 Iraqis going to be our guests and how much are they going to cost us? The U.S. Taxpayer gets screwed again it looks like. You know Stef, I moved out of the Boston area after having grown up there because of things like the Kennedy crime family, stupid laws, and the nieve, uninformed world view that many in that area hold as well as for many other reasons.
