I read it a few minutes after you posted it, but didn't have time to comment then.<br /><br />Thank you too for all the community work you do to help immigrants.<br /><br />Katekatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11478104766635836508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-50429762239648790092010-06-22T08:15:17.997-07:002010-06-22T08:15:17.997-07:00this is a topic very close to my heart as well.

Thanks. <br />DeaChan- I wouldn't have known were I not part of an e-mail chain that posts on immigrant's rights issues. Google "this week in immigration" and subscribe if you are interested.<br />daharja - oh yes I surely have. That's more or less what I am afraid of, but I don't like to raise the specter myself lest I be labeled a crackpot. The facts on the ground as they are now are shocking enough and worthy of resistance - no need to alienate anyone with mention of Nazis.

I...Thank you for an excellent post on this subject. I agree with you 100 percent. We as Americans are intelligent enough that we should be able to come up with a solution other than one so primitive that treats other humans as the laws are going to allow. I believe many Americans cannot understand the point you made about being in such terrible conditions and wanting a better life because most of them do not know what it is like to be so poor. I live in a Agriculture county and I do know that Mexicans are very very very hard workers. They will work 7 days a week 12 hours a day, be taken advantage of, abused, etc...and never complain because things are so much worse for them in Mexico. We need a solution that stops them from being treated so badly while working in the Agriculture fields. I am telling you even the poorest Americans are not going to do the work required in the fields to get produce to our supermarkets. Like I said, We should be able to come up with a solution that does not allow the prejudice to target light brown skinned people and mistreat them. We do need a solution so that they can come here and work and not be take advantage of. Be paid a decent wage, treated fairly, etc.....I am not as well spoken as you but I hope that you get that I am with you and understand your point being made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7009967346802541581.post-38352688680251179112010-06-18T17:59:44.262-07:002010-06-18T17:59:44.262-07:00Thank you again Aimee for writing another OUTSTAND...Thank you again Aimee for writing another OUTSTANDING post about this subject, and for all your personal activism in this area that is also so close to my heart as well.
