Coming Out as Undocumented

See also, below, the June 25th post of this blog for more on the inequities of our treatment of non-citizens. Everyone of us is descended from someone who came here, immigrated here, except the American Indian population. Not many can claim a tribal number.

Problem is, it seems to me, that the immigrant population does the labor Americans routinely refuse, like digging ditches without supporting structures to prevent cave ins, or cutting stone without a mask or goggles to filter the dust, all jobs that run around the safety laws, and employers continue to hire illegals because its cheap, and if they get hurt, too bad. They are SOL.

Do we really want to be this kind of country?
