Those Damn Mexicans!

I can’t really understand folks that are against immigration.

“Cheree Calabro of Valparaiso, co-founder of the Indiana Federation for Immigration Reform and Enforcement, opposes the influx of immigrants into the region. She said her group is affiliated with the Minutemen, an Arizona-based group of immigration activists who have conducted armed patrols of the U.S.-Mexico border.

More immigrant workers will reduce wages and take jobs from American citizens, and they cost Indiana taxpayers when they send their children to local schools or end up in hospitals without insurance, Calabro said.”

No wonder our country is going to shit. Historically, immigrants have come into this country to do jobs that no one else wants to do. If Cheree wants more jobs and more taxpayer dollars in Indiana, she should lobby for more immigration, not less. I work in a high paying health care job and I’ve NEVER experienced an “illegal alien” taking a high paying hospital job. I haven’t seen a rash of high level business executives being fired and being replaced by illegal Mexicans. Call me crazy, but I believe we should advocate for more high paying jobs, not worrying about low paying crap jobs in Indiana.

This country was founded on immigration, and we shouldn’t abandon the practice. More consumers/voters/citizens is a good thing that grows the economy, not decreases it.
