What really matters to our country?
December 18, 2007 – 7:48 pm3,895 soldiers have died in Iraq. Our ever-growing national debt is over $9 trillion. Our country is breaking international human rights norms and is debating whether water boarding should be considered torture. But wait folks…not only that — in case water boarding is torture, we will just avoid the discussion entirely and flat out torture people in countries where torture is not illegal, after kidnapping them first.
These are just some of the issues that our country faces today, but what is being debated by the politicians? Illegal immigration — the HUGE problem of people smuggling into the country to work in jobs nobody else wants to do. The politicians are trying to outperform each other on the level of demonization that can be accomplished against those that cross the border without an inspection. Wonderful news. The simple fact is that one day in the near future, we will be watching our industries leave the U.S. and we will ask why – and the answer will be simple – not enough workers, whether highly skilled or unskilled.
Please read a Miami Herald article here about clerics that are calling upon the politicians to cool the hate rhetoric.

Interesting thoughts…I think that immigration to this country is a bit more complex then speeding. Some “illegal” immigrants have been here for years, pay taxes, have U.S. citizen children. The point is that now that they are here, we need to provide a way to normalize these peoples’ status. Furthermore, we need to make sure that people who are needed in the U.S. as labor, are given an opportunity to come here legally. I think that the Catholic bishops are standing up for the immigrants, because they have compassion. If you go to church maybe you should ask your religious leader about that. If not, then look it up on Google.
