Hell, not only am I politically pro-immigrant (Hispanic or otherwise), I'm married to an immigrant and am the product of two, all from different countries... and I have dual citizenship. And doing my PhD dissertation on immigration issues. So people like this drive me up the frickin' wall. Ethnocentrism kills. |
I was waiting for your reply, abaya
Hear, hear.
I live in an area with a high Hispanic population. I have no problem with them. They do a lot of work ordinary white Americans would refuse to do, especially in agriculture. They brought in the Christmas tree harvest, the apple harvest, and without them, our economy would suffer.
People like the one in the letter obviously have no real connection to the immigration issue.
