I wonder if this is how the Jews felt....

In the NY Times this morning:
In Putnam County, N.Y., about 50 miles north of Manhattan, eight illegal immigrants who were playing soccer in a school ball field were arrested on Jan. 9 for trespassing and held for the immigration authorities.(by local cops)

Everyone is so crazed about immigrants from south of the border..... now local officials, who usually don't cross the line and take up the work of federal authorities, are asking to be trained to do the job of immigration cops. They want the "illegals" out so badly..... wonder who will clean hotel rooms and be day laborers when they have all be rounded up by small town johnny law?

Funny thing is that unless you can claim full-blood status as an American Indian you don't belong here either.... and yes, I get that there are legal channels you can go through to come to Amerika, but we all know that there are more than latins coming through illegally. Seems they are the target right now, just like the jews in Germany..... wonder who will be next to be singled out and then thrown out?

I so don't understand.... if they are here, and contributing, why not just let them stay? Ain't no white boy or girl going to do the jobs they do.... ain't no white kid going to work for the low wages they do... many immigrant populations started at the bottom of the economic pile and then rose to the top... Irish "Micks", amd Italian "Dagos" to name two.....worked the low jobs until they were able to do something else.... guess because they came through the facility at Ellis Island it's different, yes? I think not... or, maybe we should have an Ellis Island in Texas so mass immigration can start again.... There is still room for people who want a better life in this country....
