At the core of all of this is the idea that somehow one group of people (Hispanics--mainly Mexicans) were created to work at low wages and in unsafe conditions to prop up the economy of another. (The United States) That theory, whether promoted by well-meaning liberals, or cold-blooded business interests, is both racist, and undermines the purpose of the labor movement which worked so hard and bravely to improve workers' conditions in the United States in the first half of the 20th century. We of course, see the parallel in Europe where largely out of a sense of guilt, exploited by business interests, the same Ponzi Scheme is being run over there with the encouragement of mass migration from the Middle East and North Africa, but over there, there is the added factor of the fundamentalist aspect of Islamic ideology.

When the least educated segment of a country is encouraged to mass migrate to another country, and is encouraged to not learn the language of the land to which they have migrated, and in tandem, the public schools lower the expectations of their American-raised (raised by the schools as the parents are toiling at their low-wage jobs) children, and of course migrate in unlimited numbers as any rule of law regarding immigration is removed, further incentivized by free "education" (indoctrination) and government services--always provided in the native language of the migrants, the combination of overcrowding, low education levels, and seditious ideology afoot even in secondary "education" is going to result in the inevitability of poverty and crime, with it's forerunner of the cautionary euphemism "at-risk youth".

I got my first taste of this when I entered Santa Barbara High School in 1976 and became familiar with the on-campus group MEChA (sic), which is an acronym for Movemiento Estudiental Chicano de Aztlan. I noticed how angry these kids looked, as their enabling teachers and administrators looked upon the situation with apparent approval without dissent. The other thing was, any Mexican or Black student that focused on honing their academic skills for life were often ostracized as "acting white". The two-tiered system of expectations along racial lines was clear.

One more thing: as long as the U.S. keeps enabling this scheme, the corrupt governments of the regimes to the south of us have no incentive to ever improve the lot of their people, so the billionaires who run those countries simply know they can dump their poor, unwanted, and often poorly-educated masses on the U.S., where they become political footballs kicked around by both sides of the political aisle here, where we see what was once open space getting developed in order to accommodate this mass migration of people, with the resultant crime, and on and on it goes.

Wouldn't it be more humane that these countries to the south of us should fix their dystopian economies? Side note: where is the proof that these businesses which hire these people who supposedly "do the work Americans won't do" (translation: work at depressed wages where the employers circumvent the labor laws) are actually passing the saving onto us?

It is outrageous that our elected officials are blatantly ignoring the laws of this country they swore to uphold. I really cannot fully comprehend their mindsets. And yes, we must get rid of them and replace them with those who take our Constitution seriously!
