"The two of us were children and as children we were simple and complicated and we didn't get tangled up in words."

Leftist, radical politics, shitty poetry, some poopy poop, New Orleans, Latin American shit, things that make my booty bounce.

"Ortiz, who along with many others among these migrant workers sends about $100 home to Mexico every month to support elderly parents, works under conditions in these fields that replicates medieval serfdom and at times descends into outright slavery. He lives far below the poverty line. He has no job security, no workers’ compensation, no disability insurance, no paid time off, no access to medical care, Social Security, Medicaid or food stamps and no protection from the abusive conditions in the fields. The agricultural industry has a death rate nearly six times higher than most other industries, and the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that of the 2 million farmworkers in the United States 300,000 suffer pesticide poisoning every year."

go Steal His Job, all those complaining about migrants. go Steal His Job and then once you taste it for a week; run, run, run far away. and never open your mouth about mexicans again.

I used to work for the Department of Labor granting H2B visa applications to businesses that wanted to bring in migrant workers. If you could read the descriptions of the working conditions that they gave as a reason why American workers wouldn’t be interested? You wouldn’t say another word about immigration. However, you might start taking a hard look at your definition of slavery.

Economic refugees. Any talk about immigration that doesn’t involve Western Corporation, U.S. foreign policy, and the push-pull factors are not even talks and do not venture past the surface.
