If so, that’s totally legit.
Finally, I can empathize with the fact that people want to escape a bad area/place. Problem is, those issues follow you. Because those problems can also move to the nicer areas.[/quote]
Kinda like the Pilgrims, or anybody who has ever been a refugee in history.
If you acknowledge it’s only human to improve your situation, and it’s worth while to break the law if that is the only reasonable way, why are we not seeing eye to eye on this?
If you have such a problem with it, why don’t you go after the businesses that are creating the demand for cheap labor and deal with the problem like that?
If you have a problem with Argentine ants invading your home, and realize that they come in because you don’t take out the trash, are you going to take out the trash more often? Or are you going to go to call up an exterminator every week and I’m sure he will tell you how great a job he is doing with your ant problem all the way to the bank. He will blame the ants, and you will be the sucker for listening to him. He might even propose militarizing your lawn, cracks and holes in the foundation of your home, and it will work for a couple weeks until the Ants just dig more holes and MAKE new routes into your home, or you could just take the friggin trash out, not spend all that money, and not have your opinion shaped by lies or retarded/ temporary/ expensive solutions that are clearly benefiting certain people who look to make a buck off of you.
The exterminator needs those ants to invade your home, and he needs you to be too lazy to take out the trash, he needs you to believe the ants are the problem, not your laziness. When you finally realize it’s just you being lazy, you will go reach for your trash and realize it’s too heavy, and the ants have been lessening that weight for you, and in a sense you have become reliant on them… At this point you aren’t strong enough to take out the trash on your own, you just haven’t realized it yet… That’s what happens when crops go unpicked in the U.S. You haven’t come to accept the reality that we are reliant to a degree on cheap labor, and we ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. It’s more American than apple pie = cheap labor! Think about how long we have been reliant on some form of cheap labor and how it has sort of shifted around. Now we don’t have slaves or, “Chinamen” or “Braceros” in the same way we once had. Labor has evolved too, and we export our labor to places like India, China etc and it’s still money out of your pocket in a certain sense, but here you are pointing the finger at Mexicans while talking to an operator in India who helps you troubleshoot your networking problems over a phone or modem and computer components made in China.
Hopefully this analogy makes a little sense.
Just saying… It’s kinda like hating on Ants for being ants, or hating on Lions for being Lions. It’s only human to improve ones situations.
