Essay on Immigration

We have 12 million “undocumented” immigrants because there are 12 million illegal jobs open for them here and none available for them in Mexico. There is nothing in play but an unregulated free market and all your fences and all your Border Patrol will not stop them from coming here.

If you really want Mexicans to stay home in Mexico, write to your representatives and urge them to put pressure on the Mexican government that they do something about the corrupt monopolies, about their destruction of the middle class, about their destroying jobs for poor Mexicans.

Complain to this government about NAFTA and our flooding the Mexican market with crops and products Mexicans should be growing and manufacturing for themselves, such as corn and tortillas.

Quit blaming the victims for Mexican and U.S. political screw-ups and their lack of imagination and concern for working people. If you are for deregulation, this, and the World Trade Organization, is what you get.

Or is it that my friend Denise Lang is right and that this whole thing really IS about race? In that case, continue to blame the victims.

Race You To Class

Race does not exist! Sorry to spoil your state of privilege, but it does not exist. Biologically, there are greater differences in the DNA among Caucasians than there are between Caucasians, Negroes, or Asians.

If you want to find actual human differences, look at class. This is where the competition lays. Skin color, age, language, gender, and income are just convenient ways to divide and conquer. It’s about money.

In answer to the Libertarian mantra of big government being behind all our problems from racism to bad breath, I think government is less racist than society in general. Not sure about the bad breath.
