We here began restricting immigration because a politician who'd brought black people here to do jobs white people wouldn't do then turned on them, spouted racist filth, whipped people up by lies. (We, too, have immigrants who bring with them the illnesses of their poverty-stricken countries and unfortunately, the poor housing they receive here and increasing social inequality here exacerbates that.)

Anti-immigration talk usually is racist, it isn't about white immigrants who speak fluent English, whether they're in the US legally or not. -- mailto:judithevans001@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------------------------------------ To change your Lit-Ideas settings (subscribe/unsub, vacation on/off, digest on/off), visit www.andreas.com/faq-lit-ideas.html
