Burning Bridges

Just a little food for thought... We are incessantly told how we need these illegal foreign workers to come here and "do the jobs Americans won't do". We are told that we need this unskilled labor pool.

And so these unskilled foreigners team into our midst carrying false ID and very often highly contagious diseases like Tuberculosis that were stamped out in this country years ago. We don't even know who these people are since they have fake ID --if they are "documented" at all. How do we know what the skills of these people include?

Many of these cut-rate illegals end up working in critical industries like, oh I don't know, construction? Funny that AMERICAN citizens and people who are allowed to work here LEGALLY often are required to have special licenses or trainign to work in construction, but yet the "unskilled" criminal invader, waiting outside on the street to be hired by some cheapskate dirtbag contractor, needs no such credentials. Hell, they don't even need to speak English or know how to read.

When when you hear things about things like the bridge in Minnesota collapsing, you really have to wonder if some contractor trying to save a few bucks by hiring incompetant, unskilled, illegal workers helped to cause this tragedy. I would not be surprised if many other bridges, high rises, etc. within our infrastructure suffered this fate due to poor quality of workmanship which is primarily the result of the large influx of uncertified illegal laborers into the construction industry.

While we're talking about this, we may as well talk about another point that I mentioned above: Illegal invaders swarming here carrying infectious diseases. Where else besides construction do they work? You know places like hotels, restaurants, agriculture. The concept of having foreigners who could be carrying any number of possible diseases working in industries where they are directly handling our food supply or exposing themselves to large cross-sections of the population is particularly unnerving.

When I read about things like the spinach and lettuce Ecoli scare a couple years ago, i also can't help remembering WHO it is exactly that is probably out in the fields picking the lettuce and spinach. Most of the people who come from a culture where it is perfectly acceptable and even normal to take a piss off the front porch in broad daylight in full view of anyone who cares to see. I'm sure a bunch of these people working out in the field picking lettuce are not going to take the time or inconvenience to find a bathroom if they have to take a dump either.

Not only is this type of behavior unsanitary and disgusting, but it poses a very real health hazard. We need to start talking about this and stop being politically correct. There is an elephant in the room and it's time we started talking about it.
