The Backlash to Protests in Favor of Illegals Should be a Reasoned One

A fellow blogger that has witnessed the issues I see here in Gwinnett County, Georgia is Bob Griggs. He feels the frustration with federal officials that we all feel. In response to the planned “Nothing Gringo on May 1″ boycott, he’…

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Living in Texas, I can hardly NOT do business with Hispanics (they are the majority here, after all), and so it would be impossible to pre-judge a company or worker based upon a Hispanic name or affiliation. Nor would I ever want to do so, since some of my associates and closest friends are Hispanic. The only way to know who you’re dealing with is to ask questions similiar to those above. I won’t ever reject someone for their name, ethnic background, the color of their skin, or their accent – but I can and do reject them for their core beliefs. One or two well-placed questions will tell you what you need to know about their commitment to America’s laws and values.

I am L.A., and I always ask companies I deal with in my home about the legal status of their workers. I have fired gardeners and maids over this issue, and pay more than my neighbors for the same services. Good on ya mate for sticking to the right thing.

I use a black owned and black run landscape service and I bet they picked up some more business after Friday. Illegals should be treated that way. My family didn’t catch any breaks while they waited and waited and waited to become an American citizen. And it’s not as if Jamaicans have a poor worth ethic either.

Our politicos had better not lose their nerve on this issue. I have little or no trust that they will do the right thing, though. Dubya is so shamefully clueless and this and I’m sick of it. He wants amnesty that he can deceivingly refer to as something other that amnesty. People I know are absolutely fed up on this issue and are ready to revolt. A few Republicans are starting to get it, but I have little confidence that they will side with the average person and even national security over the business lobbyists.

There is a process for legal immigration…and the line doesn’t form in the shallows of the Rio Grande. . If that needs to be tweaked, fine. Tweak it. But no amnesty and no cowtowing to big business on this one. I am sick to death of the hypocrisy.
